Pokémon Gen 5 Tournament (Sign up inside)

I am really stoked about this, I just need to work on training my Patrat, Lillipup, and Tepig.
 
A little bit of advice though, try and have pokemon who aren't weak to the same type, like Patrat and Lillipup. You could have both of them taken out by a fighting type pokemon pretty quickly.

Since you just started, I'd suggest just sticking with what you have right now, maybe catch some bug pokemon. They evolve the quickest out of all other pokemon and will give you an extra little boost.

After you beat Burgh you should go directly to Route 5 and catch a Solosis, having a psychic type gives you a huge advantage against most people with their high speed stats and ability to learn almost every other type of attack, especially the ones they are weak against. I also had a pretty good time using a Sandile early on. The Ground/Dark pairing is great, giving you complete immunity to electric and psychic attacks. Though I don't want to clog the thread up with advice, I will gladly give you tips, answer any questions, and other stuff on the group page if you want to join.

Thanks for the advice, I am currently training to level 10 because of the N battle.
I dont want to clog this up either, so yeah.
 
Here are the brackets!

You have until Friday 14th to complete your matches and fill in the results. If all matches are complete before then, we may start the next round early.
One extra thing, if you don't wish to talk via the game's chat (which is pretty terrible), there is always the IRC to use. If you wish to turn chat off, just press the X button to turn it off.
Good luck to everyone, have some great battles.
 
Battle Video: 00-00000-00000

I don't know if the video can be viewed because that video number is weird, and I don't know how to save them...

But yeah, I lost and it was a good game! Next time I'll be sure to have a team of ev trained pokemon. XD
 
Currently battling Cress with my Pansage and Tepig :D

I plan to get a Keldeo soon if that isn't illegal.
 
Waiting on Rover for out battle. I'm ready when you are! Just PM me or message me when you can do it. Good luck!
 
Keldeo would probably be banned, just an FYI.

Oh, OK :/
Because at the point I'm at, Munna is in the daycare and Pansage is not useful at the point, so I really wanted to use Keldeo.

Since I am at Pinwheel Forest, are there any good Pokemon I should catch?
 
@AndyB
Is it OK if I used the TBT Pokemon Tournament picture for the group that Gallows made?

Talk to the clerk closest to the globe statue in a Pokemon Center, select the third option under GTS called "Battle Videos". There you'll be able to upload it.

What do you need to use my icon for?

Ohh the tournament picture, I thought you meant the group picture. lol

I don't see why it would be a problem, but Andy made the tournament picture, I made the group icon.

I haven't had my battle with Jackal yet, will see to it soon.
 
Testing the VS Recorder Battle Upload.

Random battle against Andy we did prior to the tournament. Code is 14-97384-66492

I was able to do that, but then the video was unable to upload. It said something about the Pokemon and then the video just wouldn't upload. D:
 
Ahh. If someone in the battle was using (badly) hacked pokemon the video will refuse to record, such as having stats that they normally wouldn't be possible to have. The battle could have exceeded the time limit too, so it couldn't record the battle if it was too long. But if you were able to record it, then I'm not sure why it won't upload.
