Insightful! Any reason as to why you picked EQ over Suckerpunch for Kang? (seeing as lotta people run regular gengar, and it's only really helpful for aegi)
I can post my own team after this competition if anyone likes. It's brought me to #1 in this challenge so far so I guess it's worth it.

I really, really dislike Aegi mindgames. I don't really mind regular gengar, since I usually pair up Talon w/ Kanga either way.
Fair enough. It was the reason why it was moved to Ubers. Too many 50/50's.
Yes...I told you that you had to do that 3 times
I'm leading doubles and triples (even though the triples one is kind of iffy, because in reality MythTrainerInfinity is sitting near the top of the whole thing).'
Make me work for this, guys.

Ya, mon. I do know the Special had changed over the time the challenge was extended, but it is acceptable
Well we'll be having more and more challenges :]
It ends on the 19th though...
It's over! That was fun. Have the winners been announced yet?
edit: here's a sick moveset I came up with for mega Kang in action. Sort of as a commemorative for the success of this event finishing with such success.
