This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.

MT Headed, when I first read your signature I thought you had chosen Tulane because of the opportunities to get your research published...

...then I realized "pubs" is not short for "publications" :laugh:

lol thats why most of us don't come out of the class thread with the exception of the SSD. The class thread is a nice little sanctuary from the madness of the rest of the forum.
 
Well, I didn't have too much of a problem. What I did was catch a ditto of every nature. Then, I checked to see which ditto had perfect IVs and marked them (black/white makes this REALLY easy).

Then, I used the following items to transfer ****:

Everstone: Nature
Power Weight/Band/Belt/Lens/scarf/oneotheroneIcan'tremember: Perfect IVs.

This way, within a couple hours, I can get a pokemon with the right nature and EVs.

THEN. Infect with pokerus (got this a while ago) to double EVs, equip with the power scarf/band/whatever and EV train. With this strategy, it takes me around 64 battles to EV train a pokemon. And keep in mind I've done this over the course of six months and have 12 IV/EV bred pokemon, so I'm not doing this too frequently.

Hmmm. I knew about Pokerus and the power scarf, but I didn't know about the other stuff. Interesting. Which other Pokemon will you use to compete in PaxEast?
 
I think you mean:

Lol.

I'll probably rotate the following:

Jellicent
Ferrothorn
Dragonite
Whimsicott
Hydreigon
Gengar
Gyarados
Tyranitar
Garchomp
Nidoking

And I need a fire type reeeeeeal bad.

I only know of the bolded. I'm assuming the others are from Black/White. No tanks? These are known for high attack and/or speed, right? The fire types selection weren't that great to begin with, IIRC. Just throw fire attacks onto one of these if they can learn it?
 
I wonder if nadaba will show up. Haven't heard from him in a while. Someone used a Taylor Swift pic to lure him in. I wonder if it will work again? :laugh:
 
Hi bookfreak :hello:

He makes it slightly more exciting, but I've always been an Angel fan :laugh:

Friday is opening night.

Oh, I see. You're one of the true Angels fans.

Slightly more exciting? I heard that ticket sales increased by at least 50% if not more. :laugh:

Quite possible... I couldn't get tickets for Friday 😡

This. SDN is full of big, mea, tewwible people and I'm scawed. :scared:
 
Class Thread is the Lounge for those of us that don't go to the Lounge.

I didn't even know the lounge existed until posting on the class thread for two months 😳

I heard it's lame anyway.
 
i'm actually beginning to think this place is a safe haven from the fb sometimes.

ahh, public forum 😍
 
haha, you're certainly not the only 2016 lurker.

come out and play with us guys! we don't bite...hard 😉

Thanks. You guys seem so tight I feel like I am intruding...


This is true. Maybe I'll just settle for a B instead....

According to my acceptance contract I have to get grades "consistent with which they admitted me". Lowest mark on transcript = goal!

It so is. Pre-exam study-hell mood swings or something. I actually got upset enough that I had to call out a newbie via PM. Ive never done that before.

OMG the "Not You"'s are awesome!

Schadenfreude FTW!

Ferrothorn: Grass/steel double-sided wall.

Jellicent: Water/Ghost Physical wall.
Whimsicott: Grass Gets priority on status moves. Generally spams leech seed and substitute.

Tyranitar: Rock/Dark Specially defensive. Gets 1.5x boost to special defense from sandstorm which he auto-creates with his ability.

Hydreigon: Dark/Dragon Special attacker (with fire moves)

Nidoking: Poison/Ground Special attacker - his new ability sheer force removes secondary effects of moves that have them and adds 30% to the power of those moves. Reasonably bulky and resists fighting, which is huge in the metagame. Also learns fire moves.

Dragonite: New ability, multiscale, halves damage if Dragonite is at full health, meaning it's more of a tank.

Gyarados - Surprisingly bulky. Its ability lowers the attack stat of the opponent to 75% upon its switching in, and it has very good special defense.

The other two are, in fact, speedy attackers.
