What is the secret formula to ur teams? What Pokemon do you like to use the most and why??
Of the lower BW tiers + Uber, what made you choose RU as your tier-of-choice?
The current top 3-5 Smogon players (excluding urself)? Is there a trophy that you must have in your trophy case?
Thoughts on the current XY metagame? Anything you dislike about it in particular? What is your favorite thing / Pokemon from XY?
1. Honestly, usually it's just picking a hazard lead + spinblocker and going with it. Other times I just use a Stealth Rock Pokemon with no spinblocker. Also, usually no weather. No stall either (NEVER STALL!) Near the end of BW2, I used Jirachi on almost every team since it was so good, and fit in well with my luck :p XY's just starting but I use popular Pokemon such as Garchomp, Aegislash, and Mega Kangaskhan a great deal. I also use Mega Pinsir a lot since I find it fun to use.
2. I wanted a Tiering Contributor badge, and RU was the one with an ongoing suspect test at the time. I ended up getting #1 in a day with my TR Endeavor Hail team, and went on from there. The community is great, and I'm glad I chose it :P
3. BW2 is so matchup and teambuilding based there are so many players around equal skill level it's hard to pick. I don't have much experience with the other tiers, but the people good in those tiers are obviously different than those in BW2. Everyone on US East was amazing, but obviously the other consistent tournament battlers and big-name players are good too. Impossible to pick a top 3-5 ;o
I'm the best though, for sure :] There's not really a particular trophy I really desire the most, although I suppose an SPL trophy would be nice this time...I'm going 11-0 this year btw.
4. It's fine right now and I like it. Obviously I hate Defog since I can't spam Deoxys-D anymore (NOOOOOOOOO), but it's not too big of a deal. I can still just run 5 sweepers with something like a Suicide Garchomp Lead for Stealth Rock, so it's not like it matters too much. The Mega Pokemon are my favorite things from XY atm, since they make the game a lot more interesting and, sometimes, can add more surprise factor to the battle that Team Preview cannot take away (ie: people have more than one Pokemon that can Mega Evolve, or have a Pokemon such as Charizard that can Mega Evolve into two completely different Pokemon with different checks and counters).
