The Pokémon — based on Arash Ommati’s Mamoswine — is Shiny and will arrive to players’ games at Level 50, knowing the moves Icicle Spear, Earthquake, Icicle Crash and Rock Slide.

    • 2013 world champion. I have to say that last years finals were extremely depressing, the opposing Japanese player got completely destroyed because of a bad matchup 🙁

It also restricts use of Mewtwo, Xerneas, Yveltal and Zygarde. Registration runs from May 9th to May 16th while the competition itself runs from May 16th to May 19th.

  3. Nuzlocke summary

    Apple starts in jhoto as he gets his first pokemon, ash, the sassy cyndaquil. Ash and apple traverse safely through the first route until they meet a old hermit who has someone’s shoes(I dunno) and gives them to apple where he is now traveling up the second route, being stopped again. By another hermit

  5. hmmm. Which Reuniclus ability is better? Magic guard or Regenerator :3

    edit: also i’m trying to use a kingler but I don’t know if I wanna use assault vest or life orb on it .-. Life orb and sheer force would do lot’s of damage. But it’s special defense is so low it can’t take a hit :I assault vest would be nice but I feel like I would be missing out on the sheer force/ life orb boost ._.

      • Hmmm I too have researched the competitive values of Kingler that monsterous attack but subpar everything else
        This is my hypothesis
        I’d wouldn’t give it a Life Orb since your not going anywhere with its speed or sp def and rather last the round then further its attack power. Go adamant and i’d just max Attack and HP and put either a Focus Sash or that Assualt Vest
        I cannot believe I typed this on a IPhone

        • lololol. Thx :p yeah I was thnking the same thing. What’s the point of having all that attack if you can’t last a round to use it ._. assault vest it is!

  7. What do you think Zygarde’s battle background will look like in X2/W2/Z? Champion Iris, Xerneas, Yveltal, and Lysandre have had their own unique battle backgrounds.

      • I kind of doubt it. He’s left multiple times in the past. He’ll be back at some point. His reasons for leaving are life getting better and having a “deerling” (Girlfriend). He is one year younger than me ; Not many high school relationships last too long. No offense to him, I wish him the best, but that’s a fact. So, having a girlfriend isn’t too much of a distraction. As for life getting better, it has it’s ups and downs.
