1v1s are a little something I did way back in the first Battle 4 Charity, and I wanted to make it a regular thing but I just never did. Partly because its a lot of work to find a guy, register FC, and play him for a "quick" 1v1 fight, the match itself takes longer than the setup... so it only worked well if you're in a group like on a B4C stream or a Xat tournament or something.

So it just kinda hit me last night while eating Ramen noodles that I was in http://xat.com/TPX and realized I could do some of them there.

My take:
I know I said this all already in the video, but I'll just reiterate it here. Its much less fun to "Smogonize" the theme by making guys specifically FOR 1v1 fights, putting on lots of Scarf/Lum/Sash guys when they normally wouldn't be that way.

^ That doesn't mean those items are banned by any means, they're useful.... its the making of a pokemon outside any normal competitive use to be used in this different manor that I want no part in.

So you find a guy in your box and use him AS IS for your 1v1. No item change, no move change, just roll with it. Who knows what the other guy will bring and you have no idea if you'll have an advantage or not.

  • I think 1 more stockpile would have been batter on cradily because it would have taken less moves in the long run with less recovers

  • @icebergera In hindsight I do think you're correct, I believe I even mention it halfway through that fight. At the time I was just trying to get my Atk to +6 and start swinging as soon as I could. I figured the one turn wasn't a good enough of an investment at the time. Who knows.

  • hey, i was just wondering, do you train your pokemon yourself? or do you trade/hack for them?

  • @tanman1212 I'm old skool, my guys are worked for the real way. A lost art these days.

  • lol at zapdos vs jolteon battle,a crit would still have been likely but less so because of pressure.awesome battle with cradily too.as for the fave vid...dunno,i did like the roulette battles but for a specific one?i'd have to take another look at some

  • @SirenoftheVoid Who knows, I WAS taking more than half, but its not like I'd need to Roost 10 times, I'd take a swing on my last shot to survive and see if he recoiled enough. But who knows if Parahax comes into play there as well. I wish I got to play it properly and see, oh well.

see all

  • "Pokemon METRONOME! Xerxes vs Dumphuk "

    The Dunsparce is hilarious and you say fuinny as shit lol

  • @crysiscore2duo Pokesav.

    

  • You have a lot of good vids.... I think my favorite one I've seen recently though was Battle #98 just because it was so close and so fun to watch.

  • LOL @ Toxic Spikes in 1v1

  • what recommendations could you give to breed good pokes? I dont have HG SS only platinum

  • My favorite video of yours is probably Pokemon Battle #98 vs Dangerous36m 'cause I think you emphasized what was important in Pokemon Battling (knowledge of the game and your opponent's Pokemon).

    Of course, you have a lot of videos, and I don't remember a lot of the earlier ones. One of them probably got me to subscribe though. :D

  • @SirenoftheVoid Actually no, in a random team that I let people around me select.

  • 2 loss, 1 win ):
