Another UU Team

1. Fidel Castrodon the Gastrodon (he makes for a solid defensive core, and can surprisingly put in work)

2. Jumpinjehosefat the Electivire (powerful physical sweeper, and I've just been lovin using Electivire lately)

3. ImmaYellAtYou the Exploud (gnarly special sweeper, with scrappy and boomburst (which can go around subs now, thank you sixth gen))

4. Fireitup the Delphox (another of my recent favorites, solid special bulk plus solid special offense make this poke very useful)

5. Bangers the Scrafty (really awesome special bulk (base 115 in both defenses) so I slapped an Assault Vest on him and gave him intimidate so he manages to live most hits)

6. Brobat the Crobat (really fast physical sweeper, plus U-turn)

First battle for this team goes well (showcasing Fireitup (Delphox's) bulk and sweeping powers, Jumpinjehosefat (Electivire's) speedy physical strength, and ImmaYellAtYou (Exploud's) crazy boomburst):

This next battle showcases the amazing powers of the Brobat/Jumpinjehosefat (Crobat/Electivire) combo, Brobat U-turns out to break the balloon, and Jumpinjehosefat comes in to gain the speed boost from the incoming electric attack, and then earthquakes the shit out of that no-longer floating Ampharos:

So it was decided that out of the Dark/Steel matchup that I would go against the monoSteel team, which is controlled by my buddy Baseddandy (formerly quinlanding) who is perhaps the most qualified trainer in the tournament. Here's how the battle went:

Basically, he was out-predicting me the whole time, I couldn't get my signature magic bounce going, and it was just a slow march to defeat from there. But fortunately, it is a double elimination tournament, so next I went up against my buddy Bingobango next, who was running a monoBug team. Unfortunate typing match up, but here's how that battle went:

It came down to Ham Solo (Reuniclus) versus Petey (Scolipede) and if I had just set up trick room earlier and at the right time, I might have been able to pull it off, but unfortunately that puts me out of the tournament.

New UU Team!

Sorry if it's been a while

1. Jumpinjehosefat the Electivire (I really enjoy switching in on electric type moves to get the Motor Drive speed boost and then abusing Electivire's already decent speed and attack)

2. Krunk the Krookodile (makes a solid defensive poke, and gives me a much needed toxic-er, dual stab + roar makes him extremely useful)

3. Freedom the Crawdaunt (another solid attacker, knock basically made crawdaunt more useful this generation)

4. Caperella the Gardevoir (this one comes from my Monopsychic team (the tournament is still going on, i found out that I'm going up against my sensei and his monosteel team, which is intimidating) and gardevoir is a solid specially defensive special attacker)

5. Florges the Florges (my cleric, which I forgot to give a nickname :P but it should be named Flebebased)

6. Fireitup the Delphox (I have been loving using delphox lately, magician is such a cool ability (and fire is my favorite type) and she also makes for a solid special sweeper)

This team got me out of a long losing streak, and now onto a winning streak, hopefully I don't jynx it though. Here they are in action:

This battle is against Gym Leader Plug, he said I could have a badge, but I don't think he was serious:

I really liked this guy's team, it had some very underrated pokemon:

And here's another (I couldn't think of anything interesting to say about this one, its just a good battle):
