Ah. I get the feeling that it won't be allowed - think about how obvious it would be what the card is! - but it'd probably be a good idea to clarify with the tournament organizers.

EDIT: I just looked up now and saw the card image, and all I can think of is how damn overpowered the newer cards are compared to older cards. I'd consider a comparable card to be the first Charizard card, which requires one more energy card (all of its own type, although its Pokemon Power takes care of that), discards the same amount of energy, and hurts 20 less. It also has 50 less health. It's also Stage 2, not Basic, which means that it takes longer to put into play.

I know that theyre overpowered now .

Just like I can't use my oversized Grislebrand or Avacyn, you can't use your oversized Mewtwo.

Even if you use oversized sleeves (you can buy em) for all your cards you can't use them in tournaments.

How did my thread get moved to this tread?

Pokemon Black and White 2? I'd have prefered to see Magma-Ruby and Aqua-Sapphire.... but the new Poision gym leader and the Water fishing guy both new pretty neat. And old pokemon coming back will be a treat too! I just hope the champ isn't Alder, if you had a fire-type, you had won the match already... SO MUCH BUG!

Because this is the Pokemon thread, an all Pokemon things get put here except the anime.

^It's "each Pokemon to understand," not "these Pokemon." But nice try.

It's relatively synched too. Aweosme.
I'm in nostalgia. Thank you.

Playing Pearl again now, and trying to beat it with just one Pokemon (plus HM Slaves). What do you guys think would be the best moveset for Infernape? Here's what I've currently got:

Infernape Lv.58 (Male)
Adamant Nature
HP: 181
Att. 155
Def. 117
SpA. 126
SpD. 98
Spe. 155

Close Combat 5
Flare Blitz 15
Return 20
Stealth Rock 20
(All attacks are at unupgraded PP, as listed)


For the record, I'm at the point in the game where you're first allowed into Lake Valor (and thus have beaten the Steel/6th Gym, for those who don't remember the plot order)

Why Stealth Rock? NPC don't switch too much, I'd go with Stone Edge

If you're going to put some kind of utility move on an Infernape, I wouldn't go with Stealth Rock. I'd replace it with Bulk Up, Swords Dance, or something that can help you hit harder, though Bulk Up would be preferred. That way, your Infernape's defense would decrease back to the normal level when Close Combat is used.

Return is fine if your Infernape really likes you, but it can only get you so far, if you know what I mean. For competitive battles, switch it with something else like Stone Edge or Earthquake, if you can.

What does everyone think of Kangaskhan?
I'm thinking of working a team with her.

Fair enough, but I do still want a move which does minimal or no damage... although now that I think about it, that may moreso be due to that being what I normally do, rather than due to practicality.

As much as Bulk Up sounds like a great idea, I'd need to have access to the Battle Tower before I could use it, which kinda defeats the point. Swords Dance sounds like a good idea though, in its own way.

Not competitive; only in-game.

Well, the fact that you'll be one-shotting most 'mon out there makes me think you would want to run straight power. Earthquake and Stone Edge are great options.

I just started replaying Platinum... Oh the nostalgia...

I just had my first 6v6 in this game if you want to see it the video no. is 99-85554-71456
