View Full Version : Battle for Shinies #1!!!



Shiny Lucario
01-03-2008, 06:17 PM
Alright, if people like this thread I'm going to try to make it a weekly thing. Though I'm not sure if I'll be able to have it every week with the baseball season coming up.

Want to try to win a free shiny? All you have to do is beat me in a battle :-D. Every week (hopefully) I will have a chosen shiny pokemon for you to try to win off of me in a battle. This weeks is *insert drum roll here*:

:328: Trapinch!!!

This little bugger is hard to get since he can only be shiny hunted in a route where a sandstorm is, making it hard to see. I was lucky enough to get 25 of him (and her!) though. And its not like you'll get a random one out of the 25, I'm going to let you choose. I'm going to post all the IV's and natures of every single shiny Trapinch I have, so you can choose which one you receive if you beat me. Just for you to note, every one of these Trapinch are untouched. Here they are, listed in this order:

HP/Atk/Def/SpAtk/SpDef/Spd:

Naughty Nature (+Atk,-SpDef):
#1: 4/20/24/24/29/3, Hidden Power Water 35
#2: 19/23/13/5/23/18, Hidden Power Ice 57
#3: 23/19/1/20/8/18, Hidden Power Flying 36
#4: 28/13/21/17/3/25 Hidden Power Dragon 50
#5: 30/8/13/9/28/16 Hidden Power Rock 30
#6: 5/2/24/25/5/31 Hidden Power Ice 36
#7: 0/5/4/4/15/1 Hidden Power Grass 50
#8: 0/6/6/16/30/31 Hidden Power Flying 59
#9: 17/23/6/14/2/23 Hidden Power Poison 69
#10: 13/23/15/27/22/10 Hidden Power Bug 69 (Taken by me :-D)
#11: 6/1/13/20/23/24 Hidden Power Water 50
#12: 0/16/12/11/18/5 Hidden Power Bug 60

The reason why I choose naughty nature to hunt for with a Synchronizer was because with this nature it isn't impossible to run special attacks on Flygon. Its base Special Attack stat (80) is not so bad for a mainly physical attacker. So you can throw a couple special attacks on it. For example, give it Fire Blast so it can't be walled by that pesky Skarmory that would completely wall you otherwise. Unless you get a crit on it with Stone Edge or something.

Speed enhancing natures:

Jolly (+Spd,-SpAtk):
#13: 12/14/6/2/12/22 Hidden Power Fighting 49
#14: 24/5/16/4/25/3 Hidden Power Grass 35

Good for a completely physical Flygon.

Naive (+Spd,-SpDef):
#15: 17/5/15/10/3/17 Hidden Power Electric 63
#16: 31/1/9/31/13/26 Hidden Power Ice 45

The speed boosting alternative if you still want a Mixed-Gon. And #16 excels at this with its 31 IV's in Special Attack :-D.

Hasty (+Spd,-Def):
#17: 25/29/9/25/28/17 Hidden Power Steel 30
#18: 19/11/23/3/27/20 Hidden Power Ice 64

Same as above.

Others:

Calm (+SpDef,-Atk):
#19: 1/5/0/6/29/16 Hidden Power Fire 40
#20: 13/14/0/24/26/22 Hidden Power Fighting 56

If you want a wierd Flygon, here you go :-D.

Docile (No effects):
#21: 12/4/21/7/1/7 Hidden Power Dragon 45

Can be used for anything, I guess, but isn't recommended.

Relaxed (+Def,-Spd):
#22: 16/19/20/18/7/14 Hidden Power Fire 66

...

Brave (+Atk,-Spd):
#23: 15/16/5/11/14/1 Hidden Power Ghost 61

The plus attack is good, but you don't want to sacrifice the speed for it.

But, there is a good use for that 1 speed IV and the nature. And its a Trick Room team. But you don't want to use Flygon in a Trick Room team. You use Trapinch. Yup, Trapinch, you don't evolve it. Not many people now that both Trapinch and Flygon have the same base attack, which is 100. Also, Trapinch is one of the slowest pokemon in the game, which makes it that almost nothing will out speed it while Trick Room is set up, and the Brave nature just helps that more.

Gentle (+SpDef,-Def):
#24: 14/19/10/12/25/10 Hidden Power Fire 39

Maybe a special defense wall? Of course if you do decide to do that with a pokemon whose base special defense is 80, good luck to you :-D.

Bashful (No effects):
#25: 22/18/9/20/26/13 Hidden Power Poison 52

Same as Docile.

I can battle now if you want to. But first you got to put down which Trapinch you want. When requesting which one you want put it down in this format:

Trainer Name:
Friend Code:
Trapinch #:

Now, here is where the part for next week comes in. If I make one for next week (if this one is popular) then you get to choose what shinies appear in it. Vote in the poll for what you want to be next weeks shiny then nominate which pokemon out of these three that you want to be added to the poll two weeks from now. They are:

Abra
Bagon
Slowpoke

Anyways, you can challenge me anytime you want, as I said, I can battle right now. But, just to let you know, I'd prefer if you EV trained the pokemon you use because it is almost impossible for non-EV trained pokemon to beat EV trained pokemon. Maybe if would be possible if you get a lucky string of critical hits, but thats about it. I'm basically giving out free shinies so I at least want enjoyable battles :-D.

And I'm almost done posting, all thats left is the rules (I know this is a lot of stuff but its all necessary). Anyways, here all the rules for the battles.

Sleep Clause
Species Clause
Self-KO Clause
Evasion Clause
One Hit KO Clause

And thats it, but here is a list of Legendaries that you can use, because although they are Legendaries, they aren't really considered UBER:

Articuno
Azelf
Celebi
Cresselia
Entei
Heatran
Jirachi
Mesprit
Moltres
Raikou
Regice
Regirock
Registeel
Suicune
Uxie
Zapdos

If your wondering why these pokemon aren't considered UBER, its because they may have higher base stats then most pokemon but they do not have so big of a movepool to completely dominate in lower classes, like for instance, Mewtwo.

And thats all my rules, now you can just pick a Trapinch and then we can battle. But just a warning, sometimes my Wi-Fi gives out, if this happens and you are clearly about to win, then I'll just treat the match as your win and relinquish the shiny you chose to you.

Don't forget to vote in the poll :-D.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, but I'm not going to be accepting battles until I'm out of shinies, just maybe the first ten challenges or so. Maybe fifteen.
Re-EDIT: All battles will be LV100.

Pokemon to be nominated:

Abra
Bagon
Slowpoke (1)

one thing more can you make this rule if not is ok cause you are the one that is making the offer of shinies and a good battle and you are making rules but can you make a lock abttle you know when none of us can switch a pokemon

Shiny Lucario
01-03-2008, 06:36 PM
I really don't like the no switch rule for a couple reasons:

1. It really screws over Choice item users.
2. A person can use a stall pokemon and, lets say, poison you, and then just protect and sub up until your pokemon dies.

The latter actually happened to me in the Boulder Gym tournament.

nagib_253
01-03-2008, 06:38 PM
well ok no problem well i still not going to switch cause i dont like and i am not using those legendarypokemon of your list see you on wi-fi and good luck

Shiny Lucario
01-03-2008, 06:40 PM
Yup, good luck to you, and I'm not using any of those legendaries either (though I do have a couple of em).

Also, Tourosdude15, I'll battle you after I finish with nagib if you want.

Did you read the whole first post? Because I have a few rules there that you didn't follow.

When can you battle? Preferably sometime tomorrow.

I would like tonight but tommorow morningish (EST) works for me as well :)

Shiny Lucario
01-03-2008, 10:10 PM
Hmm, the earliest I could battle is probably 12:00pm tomorrow, but I'm not 100% sure on that time.

Alirrath
01-03-2008, 10:17 PM
We can try then! Unless you want to battle now ;)

Shiny Lucario
01-03-2008, 10:22 PM
Sorry, I can't battle at the moment. And I might have to battle you a bit after 12:00 since I still have to complete my match with nagib first.

Alright, three battles to do tomorrow, lol. I might have to battle you later tomorrow night since I'm not sure if I will have time earlier.

What time can you battle?

Well, I generally hang out with friends on fridays, so Saturday could be better if you want.

Shiny Lucario
01-03-2008, 10:38 PM
Alright, Saturday it is then.

Also, there is a part of the thread that people are forgetting to do, and that is nominate the next pokemon to appear in the poll next week. Since one of the pokemon is not going to be in the pole next week due to being next weeks pokemon :-D. So just nominate one of these three pokemon:

Abra
Bagon
Slowpoke

Just say in a post, 'Nominate Slowpoke.' Or of course, one of the other two but just say which one you want.

Death By Bronzong

Just to let you know, Weaville is not an UBER. Actually, most Legendaries are UBER, the only two non-Legendary pokemon that are UBER are Wobbufett and Wynaut. And for a list of Legendaries you can use, see my first post.

Actually, you can literally pick any Trapinch you want since I haven't lost a battle yet :-D. And you only really need my friend code as my trainer name really doesn't matter. But if you still want it, its 'One.'

And you can pick any Trapinch you want, just make sure you post it in this format:
