aren't there also other clauses, like you can't have more than two of the same pokemon in one team, and that you can't put more than one of your opponents pokemon to sleep? Oh, and Uber tier pokemon are usually banned right (for tournaments)? Can someone list all the "standard clauses and rules?

Yay TLPD shows that there's over 386 progamer ids. I'm gonna catch and name every single pokemon after a progamer. Except I've done it in lower case, and everyone else's name is in caps :< like PROF. BIRCH, MAY, ZIGZAGOON.

I have uh.

Gardevior with Psychic, Confusion, Double Team (questionable, especially with this moveset) and Impression (Do you mean imprison??
I want to get all but Psychic, what are some good moves

My leet Castform with Blizzard, Fire Blast, Thunder and Weather Ball (LOL). Need to replace Weather Ball with something uber, does Hyper Beam work?
(Im not sure with a fairly low sp.atk that I would be using castform as a multitype sweeper. Blizzard is only 70% acc, which is super annoying when the move only has 5pp - I prefer ice beam myself which still has 95pwr and 100%. Even if you wanted that, why not stick that on your water type? You dont need back up sweepers. Same thing for fireblast and thunder, which again has horrible accuracy without rain dance)

Alakazam with Flash, Confusion, Psychic, Psybeam. Getting rid of it as soon as I get a good fire Pokemon (where are the starteeers).
(Oh god. This entire moveset is wow. 3 psychic attacks of various powers and the most useless HM flash. You only need psychic. have the others (too late now unless you want to waste heart scales) be calm mind (not safe in competitive, but the lack of hp wont hurt you too much in game) or recover or something, but 3 psychic moves is overkill)

Swellow with Aerial Ace, Fly, Steel Wing, Quick Attack.
(not a fan of swellow, and you gyrados means you have two flying pokemon weak to elec. This moveset isnt too bad, although you still have the two flying moves)

Gyrados with Surf, Dragon Dance, Hydro Pump and Hyper Beam.
(this moveset is ok, but generally with water types you want a water attack and an ice attack. Dragon dance raises you speed and attack. Unfortunately the attack boost only helps your hyper beam, so keep that in mind. Gyrados is also 4x vs elec which is scary. but its stats are really high, so its up to you)

aaand Sceptile with Cut, Rock Smash, False Swipe and Leaf Blade. What a shit Pokemon.

Umm, Item clause (very rare I think) where you can't have same item on two pokemon. Sleep clause (can only put one pokemon to sleep at a time), evasion clause. Umm, think there's a few more, but I only ever play with Sleep, Evasion and OU tier.


Most people go for Cleric blissey:

Blissey @ Leftovers
Bold // Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
- Seismic Toss

EVs, EVs, EVs, EVs? Nature? Item?

Yes they are that important go to the Advanced Trainers guide in Ruby or the competitive battling guide in Dimanod (both at GameFAQs.com) to learn what they are.
