I enjoy watching battles online on YouTube and there are two battlers that I follow: Xerxes and Nbz. Now the latter of the two has issued a tournament, but with a twist. It is to be a standard OU tournament, but any Pokemon is really allowed besides Legendaries, and this means Species, Sleep, Evasion Clause, etc. The twist is that ITEMS ARE NOT ALLOWED! Now this actually sounds interesting because there are a lot of standard Pokemon that are only standard because of their items. So often strategies are centered around items, like my Breloom with Toxic Orb to prevent other status effects and to gain healing better than Leftovers. Right now I have put my name in to enter and am waiting to see if I made the list. I didn't sign up right away so I may have missed the deadline, I'll have to wait for him to update the list. Nbz is in England so that might take a while (Also, his name is pronounced N-bee-zed because they say the letter Z as Zed).

So let us combine. I think that everyone should offer up their #1 Pokemon and we shall combine them into one team to represent all of Monkey Productions! I know that there is strength among us because of our little tournament, so let's get out there! If we are in the tournament, I'm going to try to record the battles like Xerxes and Nbz do. So lend me your champions and let us beat the British! Who's with me?

Edit: I'm/We're in the tournament.

In. Not sure what to call my number one though, since my normal solo-ers, (Umbreon and Mismagius) both require leftovers support. I'll make a list of my battle Pokemon, you can take your pick:


Un-EV'd:
Gardevoir (Hypnosis/Dream Eater/Energy Ball/Psychic)
Medicham (Recover/Hi Jump Kick/Ice Punch/Thunder Punch)
Metagross (Hammer Arm/Zen Headbutt/Meteor Mash/Earthquake)
Tyranitar (Crunch/Dragon Claw/Stone Edge/Earthquake)
Mismagius (Shadow Ball/Perish Trap/Mean Look/Pain Split)
Houndoom (Crunch/Flamethrower/Overheat/Hyper Beam)
Kingdra (Rain Dance/Surf/Dragon Pulse/Ice Beam)
Ninetales (Confuse Ray/Hypnosis/Will-O-Wisp/Flamethrower)
Exeggutor (Solar Beam/Sunny Day/Psychic/Sleep Powder)
Slowking (Surf/Slack Off/Nasty Plot/Psychic)
Umbreon (Toxic/Protect/Double Team/Faint Attack)
Gengar (Thunderbolt/Hypnosis/Dream Eater/Shadow Ball)

EV'd:
Flygon (Earthquake/Dragon Claw/Crunch/Rock Slide)
Gligar (Earthquake/Swords Dance/Thunder Fang/Ice Fang)
Mismagius (Thunder Wave/Attract/Confuse Ray/Dark Pulse)
Umbreon (Toxic/Protect/Double Team/Faint Attack
Houndoom (Flamethrower/Hidden Power Rock/Dark Pulse/Nasty Plot)

Have at it. I'm not sure if I can get that Gardevoir back though, just fyi. One of my friends got drunk or something and she lost it at prom. Don't ask how one loses a Pokemon at a school dance...

Garchomp (Crunch/Dragon Claw/Dig*/Fire Blast) *I have a TM26 Earthquake to replace Dig
I forgot that Garchomp is considered Uber now, assuming he's going by Smogon's tiers.

Partially EV Trained:
Bronzong "Blue Bell" (Reflect/Light Screen/Rain Dance/Explosion)
Kabutops (Aqua Tail/Stone Edge/Superpower/Aqua Jet)
Starmie (Surf/Psychic/Thunder/Recover)
Gyarados (Aqua Tail/Ice Fang/Thunderbolt/Earthquake)

EV Trained:
Bronzong "El Kabong" (Gyro Ball/Explosion/Stealth Rock/Reflect)
Kingdra (Surf/Draco Meteor/Ice Beam/Hidden Power [Electric])
Kangaskhan (Dizzy Punch*/Earthquake/Hammer Arm/Sucker Punch) *Considering replacing with Return, which is what it used to have
Snorlax (Crunch/Focus Punch/Substitute/Rest)
Electivire (ThunderPunch/Cross Chop/Ice Punch/Earthquake)
Weezing (Sludge Bomb/Dark Pulse*/Will-O-Wisp/Pain Split) *Considering replacing with Shadow Ball

Geeze! When I said to offer up your #1 Pokemon, I wasn't expecting a comprehensive list of your best. Can't complain though and this is great, just have to figure out who we should use. In addition, I have found out that you can change your team around between battles, so we can create a team of more than just the 6. I honestly don't know who we should use though since just with Cy and Stars there is a HUGE selection. I encourage anyone else to nominate their guys and to suggest possible teams from what we have listed.

I don't really have many trained guys but here they are.

EV Trained:
Shuckle (Wrap / Bide* / Toxic / Rest) *Considering replacing for Encore
Dragonite (Dragon Dance / Outrage / Fire Punch / Aqua Tail)
Jumpluff (Sleep Powder / Substitute / Leech Seed / Synthesis*) *Should probably replace with an Attack
Aerodactyl (Stealth Rocks / Taunt / Rock Slide* / Earthquake**) *Still need to level it to 65 for this move. **Need to save to buy this TM.

Other than that I'm trying to train a Ninjask, everything else is just trained ingame.

[Hyperlisk]

I was always too lazy to EV train... But here's my favorites anyway:

Absol - IVs: 30/31/31/31/20/29 - EVs: 100/100/255/0/1/0 - Sucker Punch/Swords Dance/Zen Headbutt/Superpower
Muk - IVs: 26/8/31/30/30/25 - EVs: 100/172/6/107/2/123 - Dig/Sludge Bomb/Dark Pulse/Payback
Charizard - IVs: 31/31/19/29/19/31 - EVs: 0/106/255/0/5/0 - Slash/Fly/Flamethrower/Dragon Claw

No idea why Absol and Charizard got 255 on Defense, something glitched out with that or something.

You can borrow Diamond-Koal if you promise to give him back... :)

He's pretty much my number-one. In case there's actually someone out there who doesn't know that. XD I don't remember his moves off-hand, but I know he has Eruption, and I think the others are...Flamethrower...Shadow Claw... and I want to say a normal move. Maybe. I probably have it posted somewhere.

Awesome! Good luck man. I have nothing to give you but my best wishes.
