Getting ready to battle in the April Friendly, wish me luck on me not getting my ass kicked guys :lol.

F******** I've gotten my ass kicked five times by trains who do nothing but switch their pokemon out during the BEGINNING OF THE BATTLE, I HATE TRAINERS WHO DO THAT, with the peoples here being ze exceptions but man all these people I'm battling are just taking the piss when they have the chance -_-.

I genuinely do not understand your disdain for people switching their Pokémon.

It's why I don't want to battle you. Because it's a natural part of a battle. It can be a smart move.

Does anyone have a Shiny Groudon?! I've been trying like hell to get one with absolutely NO luck. Someone please bail me out...

I think what BladeKF is saying is "I hate Switch battle formats and a prefer Set battle formats."

I really don't always mind switching a pokemon, so long as it's not the beginning of a competitive Global Link Tournament is what I'm saying actually. So actually both you & Electric Turahk kind of misinterpreted it, no offense. This is why I don't usually like to battle in Online Competitive Global Link Tournaments is cause 95.9% of the opponents I battle use switching out at the beginning of the battle as the first part of their strategy mainly because a lot of them end up sending a pokemon that's weak against one of mine but might have a move that's useful against the pokemon I send out first, doing something like seeing the opponents stratgey usually helps a lot in battle. Also, I'm sorry I'm not someone you like to battle @Electric Turahk :(.

No idea what the complaint here is. That's part of the game. You see an unfavorable matchup, you get out of there. Predicting switches and switching are why entry hazards, Baton Pass, Roar, Shadow Tag, Pursuit, setup moves and other significant aspects of the game currently exist. You either learn to deal with them or avoid gameplay that necessitates them.

For example, one of my problems with the April Friendly, besides my own inexperience, was dealing with higher-tier Pokémon I wasn't used to encountering while having measures for ones I would never encounter, thanks to the all-Kalos rules. I didn't bitch to myself that it wasn't fair that people were using Mega Kangaskhan, because there was no reason my self-imposed rules should have any bearing on the tournament's guidelines. Instead, I decided to bear with it, take my wins and losses as I could and, though I failed to battle every single day, I at least won more than I lost. Now I've learned more about the changes I should consider in my team to better survive the next event.

TL;DR adapt or die.

I need a Houndoominite. Who wants to trade for a Tyranitarite as I don't like Tyranitar at all?

Hoenn confirmed.
