Between a Rock and a Hard Place

This is the thread where chatting and recapping can be found.

Please respect the gym secrets and do not divulge pokemon species or strategies that may be used by either trainer.

[S Tailor]

Its... Its... OPEN!!! How many battle requests have ya got so far?

[Whitdjinn]

Its been open for like 10 minutes...none :P

[S Tailor]

I wouldn't mind having a battle, but I won the badge from Old Man, So its pointless really

[Alirrath]

To anyone who feels they might have an easy time here, think again. Whit's team is fearful and I suspect may be even harder to conquer then when I faced it..

[MeowthMix]

Do we get two boulder badges? :D

[Whitdjinn]

Nope, you have to be extra elite to get 2 badges.

(But seriously, it is a small hiccup created when I was made leader since I already had the Shiny Boulder Badge...i assume it will be remedied soon.)

I also wanted to make sure it was clear that the Boulder Gym is OPEN for battles. I have yet to have a request or a battle for a badge, however I have had fun with a couple test matches, and was proud to give Slizer his only win against the OU typed Gyms :P

I am still getting the hang of battling with this team, so if ever there was a chance to grab a badge, it is now!

[Paiopa]

I am still getting the hang of battling with this team, so if ever there was a chance to grab a badge, it is now!

I'd rather wait till you got the full hang of your team so I could fight you at your best. Makes it more fun and interesting that way :)

[Trombones13]

I just requested. :lol: I wanna be the first of many to lose the Boulder Badge at the hands of Whit!
...Seriously, though...don't expect a win from me.

[Paiopa]

Kurt LOL XD Come on have some more confidence man =P

[Trombones13]

LOL. Might be happening soon; wish me luck! :-D *will fight with confidence and hope*

[Sorgatani]

Good luck Kurt! I'm sure you'll be fine.

Now.. if only I could be bothered training up my own team to challenge the gyms with

[Trombones13]

You act like I've trained a team... :P Uh...nope! Just doing it for fun, and hopefully to learn a thing or two, get tips/ideas, etc.

[Sorgatani]

You act like I've trained a team... :P Uh...nope! Just doing it for fun, and hopefully to learn a thing or two, get tips/ideas, etc.

Well.... I could challenge with my Chrysalis team, but I think rock and flying just happen to have a *slight* advantage over my bugs. Just an inkling I have ;)

Whit - I'm pretty sure you'll be in your niche and element pretty fast

[nana nettie]

You act like I've trained a team... :P Uh...nope! Just doing it for fun, and hopefully to learn a thing or two, get tips/ideas, etc.

Good for you Kurt :) That's what I did. I picked some pokemon that I liked, then started challenging. You learn a lot from battling the gyms :)
I'm rooting for you :D

[Whitdjinn]

Kurt,

Once my lead strategy worked, I lucked out having moves that were super effective against the entire rest of your team. Thanks for the battle, I would try mixing up your team based on their weaknesses, I liked the pokes you brought though, especially Lenore!

[Trombones13]

:lol: :lol: :lol:
I lose, 0-6. No surprise there! I swear, I made the stupidest mistakes... Of course, your lead left me with nowhere to hide, since it had counters for just about anything. That dude rocks! *has inspiration to dig child out of box and breed it* Ah, well; I make history as the first person to battle--and lose against--Boulder Gym Leader Whitdjinn. T'was fun. :-D

EDIT: Yeah, I lurve my lil Lenore. The only Pokemon completely bred, IVd, and EVd by me so far... :P

[Whitdjinn]

Unfortunately we had a disconnect - froze right in the middle of my move landing!

Feel free to try again next week, hope to see you then!

[N0t2f34r]

WOW! that was a doozy...Neck and neck until the very end!!! That was really fun!!

[Whitdjinn]

It came down to the end, I was blinded by originality!! Very nicely done, you've earned the first Boulder Badge I've had the pleasure to give out!

I was expecting something else from your shiny (not even going to mention nickname because it would be obvious) perhaps I outsmarted myself! Hehe, nice battle!

[N0t2f34r]

I was bluffing with ice fang....:p I'm glad the shiny got to see the battling. I thought he wouldn't cut it..but he took out Panzer in 1 hit. good game. I definily thought Lee would get killed....I only feel sad for Creeper...he didn't last becasue I forgot about EQ, I was expecting stone edge...

EDIT: WHA!!! the first badge!? mee? oh, wow...Now I'm hounored....

[Paiopa]

Congrats on your win and the first boulder badge from the new leader :D

[Whitdjinn]

I got off to a good start, iPoke had some great luck against your team, thank goodness for the OKHO on your lead, otherwise I would have been in trouble!! Great battle, hope to see you again in a week!

[Arcticwlf]

Please tell me I at least gave you a minor heart attack with what Grimace tried to do. I think that may have been the entire turning point of the match.

[Whitdjinn]

Oh, without a doubt if that would have landed, iPoke wouldn't have been able to do what he did, he would have been long gone. That miss saved his virtual tushie.

[Arcticwlf]

You've obviously done some EV training on iPoke too. I was sure Grimace would have gone first.

[Whitdjinn]

This one was much closer than the score represents, I was runnin for the hills until B52 pulled it out for me. I think I caught you with a choice band which worked to my benefit as well as catching a few other breaks along the way. Nice battle!

[Jhamin]

I got unlucky once, which is luck. But then I got greedy with a Stat Boost. :oops: I also clearly made the wrong choice sending Pazuzu in against B52.

It is good to see the gym is in good hands :). You will be seeing me next week!

[Rayfox-Kun]

nice job so far whitdjinn keep it up ok dude:)

[Whitdjinn]

This was a good battle, and closer than your last one! You seemed to have ways to deal with most of my team, though a couple misplays might have cost you! I hope to see you in a week!

[Arcticwlf]

I was a little disappointed with the strength of some of my attacks, and my substitution near the end was definitely a bad idea. I'm at least glad it was fun for you.

[Whitdjinn]

Your team simply wasn't build to be able to take the hits iPoke was dealing...I did enjoy your selection of pokes, but didn't get to see much of their movesets. If i were to make one suggestion, it would be to try to add a super fast poke or two.

[Whitdjinn]

This one wasn't even close, you would have had your badge without much problem, I was left with just Soaron, and your typing should have been able to blow it out of the water. Then, after I chose my move, we got disconnected. I have no doubts that you'll be able to claim the badge next week!

[T roo]

Wait, if he was garunteed win, why deosn't he just get the badge?

[Whitdjinn]

Due to the disconnect, there is no opportunity to perform the trade inspection to ensure following of the rules. This is the reason for the disconnect rule in addition to stopping intentional disconnects (Which this was not, by the way, not intentional in the least)

[Whitdjinn]

It appears that my new lead caught you off guard, but you were able to make a run for it at the end, unfortunately I just had too many extra pokemon at the end. Great battle!

[Arcticwlf]

I won't lie. That one wasn't fun for me...

[revelp8]

i guess that means your stuck with me correct? :)

[S Tailor]

i guess that means your stuck with me correct? :)

I believe it does. I have a nice rock poke which might compliment your team. Just PM me and I'll tell you what it is

[Whitdjinn]

Yep, ArcticWlf will have to have a go with Revelp8. Good luck!

[Whitdjinn]

This one was pretty one-sided. There were several 10 and 20% chances that hit on both sides, That coupled with the fact I didn't have any good counters with me made for a very well built team dominating the other :)

Shiny Badge well earned - the first one i've had the pleasure to give up!

[Jhamin]

It was an honor to win your shiny badge. If I hadn't been as freakishy lucky as I was this would have gone a lot differently. Cambrien was saved twice by his Bright Powder after he was down to 3 HP.

(And not to be weird about it, but it was 0-6, this is the first time I've ever swept a team)

[Whitdjinn]

Thats right - I never did get cambrien finished off...my bad.

[Whitdjinn]

Bubba - Unfortunately this one didn't go your way. I would be sure to know the weaknesses of your pokemon so that you don't walk into a super effective move, I think that is what put you in such a hole at the beginning of our match. I liked the look of your team lots!

[run_bubba_run]

everyone seems to like the look of my team but i dont think the cut the mustard. back to the breeding track for me :D

[MeowthMix]

lol.. Cut the mustard..

:P Sorry I'll leave lol

[Whitdjinn]

This wasn't as close as the score indicates, due to a couple mistakes by you, I was able to stick around longer than I should have. Excellent battle, A shiny badge well earned.

Battle Loss awarded due to rules violations.

[Whitdjinn]

Well this one threw me for some loops and took quite a long time... I questioned some of your moove choices which allowed Bloomin to stick around longer than it should have! You'll now need to face Revelp8! Best of luck!

[Death By Bronzong]

This wasn't as close as the score indicates, due to a couple mistakes by you, I was able to stick around longer than I should have. Excellent battle, A shiny badge well earned.

Thanks, but it really was close, with or without the errors. This is what happens when you start a battle and your parents suddenly demand help with something then and there.

[Crymzon1980]

Yeah since it was my first gym challenge i wasnt really prepared, but i'm surprised how some of my mons did LOL

[Whitdjinn]

This was quite a battle, your pokemon made my 2 turns of spikes basically not matter. I think that my ability to toss pokes in front of your attacks in sacrifice helped allow me to pull this one out in the end. I have to say I was really shocked of the moveset on BrocnBuck, though I suppose I shouldn't have been.

Nice work - you get one more crack at me in a week, then to Revelp8 you go!

[Whitdjinn]

Wow!

Based on how many turns this battle went, and how many switches were made, you wouldn't have thought this one ended 0-6, but it did. You were able to keep plugging away at my pokes and I eventually ran out of answers. Badge well earned - Shiny even!

[L'Arachel]

Shucks, Whitdjinn! You make me blush, lol. Thank you for the great match and the shiny badge!

[joinred1127]

O_O I told you to win, but I had no idea that you would cream him. Great job L'Arachel!

[L'Arachel]

O_O I told you to win, but I had no idea that you would cream him. Great job L'Arachel!

Lol, thank you joinred1127. The score doesn't entirely tell the story however, it was quite the challenging match!

[Gouswer]

Would the name of this happen to be from The Simpsons Movie?

[revelp8]

Would the name of this happen to be from The Simpsons Movie?

thats quite possible. but it may be from something else entirely, i've heard it been said a few times >.> before the movie came out with that bit.

[Whitdjinn]

Between a rock and a hard place is a very old saying that basically means being stuck between 2 options and neither one of them looks appealing...

Basically like 'being backed into a corner' same type of thing, but i used it for the play of words on 'rock'

[Whitdjinn]

Vasden - This was a good battle, and I think that you made some good choices with your pokemon. I would like to suggest that you look at the base stats of the pokemon you chose, and make sure that you're playing to their strengths (physical moves if attack is higher than special attack, etc). Best of luck in the future! One more try at me before worrying about Revelp8! See you in a week!

[Whitdjinn]

Wow, that one was tense! Based on the matchup of our last pokemon, I was sure I was done for. Thank goodness your poke had a choice item! I'll see you in a week hopefully!

[Cinder]

Wow, that one was tense! Based on the matchup of our last pokemon, I was sure I was done for. Thank goodness your poke had a choice item! I'll see you in a week hopefully!

Yeah, being unable to change moves made for a somewhat disappointing loss. So it goes. Overall definitely a fun match, though! Scoring that surprise Struggle KO made me laugh out loud. Behold the might of the venomous death bunny Nidoking. :D

[Whitdjinn]

Bubba - What a battle...I don't think I had my lead set up right which lead to a couple mistakes, but nice job managing your team! In the end it was a lot closer than the 3-0 shows, I had trouble finding the right answers.

You'll need to battle Revelp8 before re-challenging me - best of luck with him!

[run_bubba_run]

(as i said in the vm) but i will say it again, WOOT, that was an awseome battle, it was all like POW! BANG! WIZZZ! and then FIRE BLAST ATE IT UP ! lol :rolleyes: was awesome. thank you again

[Amos]

Haha, nice battle Whit, i made a few silly mistakes which i shouldn't have, but good win anyway. ^_^
I'll fix up my mistakes, challenge Revelp and be back in a week!

[Whitdjinn]

Actually I was quite scared in that battle until your rapid spinner went down, I think that recover actually saved me and allowed Panzer to sweep the remainder of your team.

You can re-challenge me in a week before you get booted to Revelp8, just so you know, I look forward to seeing you again!

[revelp8]

wow, its been almost a month since you had a battle. i would actually like amos to stay at the rock for a while boss, because of all that smack talk on AI... so you better have at it :twisted:

[Amos]

Smack talk? ;_; Jimmeh, be nice, i shall try to lose to Whit again to verse you if you'd like. It's very, very probable that i will, so heads up. D:

[Whitdjinn]

Yeah - there was a drought of challengers there for a while, partially because you hadn't lost a battle at all during that time. They are starting to pick up again now, though as I've got 2-3 pending challenges now that I'm trying to sort out times for.

[revelp8]

what? i can't help but to do my job successfully n.n :oops::lol::twisted:

[Whitdjinn]

Congratulations on the Shiny Badge! Well deserved. I took a chance on a new strategy and you made me pay for it!

I thought it was a great battle and I was lulled into a false sense of security until Loch Ness showed up - I didn't have an answer, which is odd considering my typing...i guess we'll re think a moveset or two, hehe.

Way to go!

[Taurosdude15]

ya b52 i thought was going to be my downfall but i fianlly got him down, i hate having to battle those lol and paratroop2 was awsome i didn't think firewall would do that good

[Whitdjinn]

You handled my lead quite well - I only wish it would have lasted 1 turn longer. Regardless, I was able to have NotADragon set up and it was able to sweep through the remainder of your pokes.

I did like your team setup and I have a feeling your lead was your only good answer to NotADragon, but not much can stop it after it set up the way it was.

I hope to see you challenge me again soon - Will have to beat Revelp8 first, though.

Nice match!

[revelp8]

send me a PM whenever you can to set up a time to battle vasden

[Whitdjinn]

That one was very close, you thwarted my first strategy, though B52 was able to help me get an advantage. I think it came down to me leaving NotADragon in for that extra turn after it got frozen to bait the Rest.

Nice battle, You'll have to defeat Revelp8 again.

[Whitdjinn]

Wow, what a match!

You let me set up in the beginning, and I'm very surprised that your HydroPumper went first, but it took care of my major threat and allowed you to establish some control. From there it was down to the wire with some luck going both ways in the late game.

In the end, our final pokemon decided the outcome, and you had the better matchup. Nicely done, congrats on the badge!

[run_bubba_run]

thank you, it has been an honor to battle you. your gym has been my goal for the last 2 months :)

[Sorgatani]

Congratulations Bubba!

[run_bubba_run]

thank you tani :D

[Whitdjinn]

RJ,

Was a tense beginning as I tried to set up and things didnt go quite right, you were able to wake up early and take out my setter-upper... After that it seems that I was able to overpower you. I urge you to take a look at your movesets and make sure that they are playing to your poke's strengths! Nice battle, and you're welcome to challenge again in a week!

[Whitdjinn]

Don't get discouraged by the result of this match - I was able to set up and your team just didn't have the moves to combat it. Timing was on my side with the switches you made that helped my setup, and of course once the setup was done Sherman had no problems ripping through the team.

Give Revelp8 another visit, and see me when you've bested him.

[Arcticwlf]

Yikes, it really looks like you're really on your game today Whit. Just about 40 minutes before my scheduled showdown with you. I won't lie that I'm a little worried. :/

[Whitdjinn]

I'm ready to go whenever you are - let me know...

[Arcticwlf]

I figured out what you were doing within a couple moves, but I just couldn't get ahead of you to shut it down. I was kinda hoping BD would KO your second guy. You've really re-worked your team since I was first sent to Revel.

[Whitdjinn]

Well, you had me wondering if I'd be able to pull it off there, and to be honest your switch is probably what saved it for me. Hope you have better luck against Revelp8 - let me know when you pass him again.

[Whitdjinn]

Wow, that was quite a battle, you managed to get through my setup - I should have known Splatter couldn't take that hit! You had my on the ropes at the beginning of the battle until I lucked into a critical hit with Sherman.

Very nice battle, I hope to see you next week!

[pokemonmaster_146]

i should have withdrawn electivire he had low kick wich would ko Panzer...
and you were a little lucky nailing that one move

[Arcticwlf]

You should really try to avoid using Pokemon names and moves in your comments so as not to reveal anyone's particular strategy. It's just a common courtesy in the gyms.

[Whitdjinn]

Even though one of your pokemon was Uber, your strategy in the beginning threw me just enough that you got through my setup. Nice work there.

After that, NotADragon was able to get set up and sweep the team the rest of the way. I liked your team (Except Garchomp won't be welcomed back) I hope to see you back next week.

[pokemonmaster_146]

You should really try to avoid using Pokemon names and moves in your comments so as not to reveal anyone's particular strategy. It's just a common courtesy in the gyms.

sorry i completly forgot
forgive me please...

[Arcticwlf]

forgive me please...

It's quite alright. I didn't mean for my comment to sound terse. It's just something that could harm your own strategy as much as Whit's.

[Whitdjinn]

Watectric,

I really liked the look of your team - it seemed very well thought out and put together. You were able to handle my setup, little did I know that the move you used would land even when protected - that definitely threw a kink in the works. Once splatter came in and I was able to set up, things went pretty quickly. Nice job - you can rechallenge in a week!

[watectric]

Why Thank ye! I had some help from my bestest Pokemon Trainer Trainer in the world help me put it together! I was surprised I lasted that long (I mean without me forgetting to press the move :3)

[Whitdjinn]

You got one more poke down this time than you did last time. A good choice by you on a specific hold item. If I counted right, it worked for you 3 times on that one pokemon. Luck was on your side there, however I was able to secure the match.

Challenge again once you best Revelp8!

[Whitdjinn]

This was a rough one for you, as my 2nd person was unaffected by the move which allowed me to complete the setup unabated.

Your team looked good, but i think it might be a good idea to check out some sources for some movesets that may do you some good, especially your lead.

Seek out Revelp8, and rechallenge me when you get the best of him.

[Whitdjinn]

Well Blake, it appears as though you ran right into my hot streak.

You definitely had the tools on your team to dispose of my setup, though the steps you took came about 3 turns too late when I was going full steam ahead!

Feel free to re-challenge me anytime after the 7 day waiting period is over.

[T roo]

Darn, after I blew your set-up I was sure I had it. But unfortunately BFiddy-Two was unstopable. All of those flinches. He was doomed if my Bis Sis's counter didn't flinch. Anyway GG ^^

[Whitdjinn]

Your focus sasher took down Sherman with some help from poison, nice job with that! Fortunately for me B-52 was able to deal with the remainder of your threats.

I didn't get to see many of your move choices, though what I saw was correct - no real misplays on your part except for maybe switching in BigSis so soon.

Great battle - I hope to see you in a week!

[T roo]

TY, it was pretty thrilling. I don't try the gyms to much.

[Whitdjinn]

Well, you fled from the battle, but I would have been able to sweep most likely.

I liked the look of your team, and was really surprised on your first move, because that pokemon has the tools necessary to beat my setup.

Seek out Revelp8 - I'll see you when you get the best of him!

[Whitdjinn]

Well, you broke my longest winning streak yet, but it was well deserved. I don't know that there were any major misplays, you had answers and kept the pressure on which caused some bad plays on my part, as well as me missing on my prediction skills.

Very nice win - Revelp8 will be disappointed he didn't get to battle you ;)

[hoby]

yeah i hope i can battle him anyway. bubba said he is strong :)

[Whitdjinn]

As mentioned in the records post, My setup allowed me to pretty much turn on cruise control. Your team looked like a strong bulky one with a nice variety in types. It would have been tough to get through your team in another way, that's for sure.

You can re-challenge in a week!

[darktagger]

You were really good! I will see you next week for our re-match.

[revelp8]

wow an actual challenge!? no way!

[Whitdjinn]

Nice match weedle, you were able to take down 2 of my pokes, and I must admit I underestimated your flier. I would suggest making sure that your pokemon are fully evolved, as one of yours wasn't quite there.

You had a nice looking team with a couple interesting pokes I haven't seen very often. You can re-challenge me in a week before having to face Revelp8.

[Whitdjinn]

Just a reminder that Platinum move tutored moves are now legal in the Boulder Gym! That means that you can expect to see some changes in my team as well.

Also, just so it's said, the gym is open and accepting challenges. It has been a while since i've had a regular stream of battlers, so I look forward to seeing you all taking part very soon!!

[trish]

Any specific level requirements to battle in your gym??

[revelp8]

level requirements do not matter in all the gyms save for little battles :rolleyes:

It is because on the wifi, all gym battles are set to level 50.

[Whitdjinn]

You kept the pressure on during my setup, but Panzer got just enough beef to survive your most threatening shots.

I had a couple of untimely misses, and you baited me into a couple moves pretty well also.

Have a shot at Revelp8 and see me when you best him.

[Trombones13]

Panzer is a beast... I really kind of wish I had Lenore available to me; I think a priority move may have helped in a couple of instances. Plus, it would've added to the bait thing I did, ha ha. T'was fun; I'll see you...if, not when, xD, I beat Jimmy. Thanks for the match!

[Whitdjinn]

Great battle, there were some tense moments!! You handled my setup like a pro, but I was able to take advantage of you getting trapped into that move to turn the tables a bit.

Nice work, feel free to re-challenge in a week!

[Empoleon67]

Yeah, great battle.Bfiddy-Two gave me alot of ploblems.I almost deafeted you,but when one of my pokemon (the most solid one ) fainted, it was over.:D

[Whitdjinn]

This battle wasn't quite as close as the last one, as I tried a new strategy which was effective.

I know it hadn't been a week, but I was bored and you were available, so went ahead with the battle anyway.

You had good answers to my first couple pokes, but NotADragon was able to setup for a really long time which allowed me to KO Pokemon that even had a resistance to the move. I was expecting another move from the one using Hammer Arm which would have not let me setup like that at all.

Nice battle, you'll have to beat Revelp8 now to challenge me again.

[Empoleon67]

I did a few things I wish I hadnt ,But I Dont Think I could of won after swampy fainted.

[T roo]

I can't get past Revelp8. I forgot, did I have to lose to you twice to have to face assistant? Or is it first loss.

[revelp8]

its different here than the other gyms

A member would have to lose twice to whit to come face me at the rock n.n

Members can best me once to seek out whit once again

[Whitdjinn]

Yep - once you've been sent down to Revelp8, each time you beat him, you get one shot at me, and then back to him....

We need to come up with a name for that...to the cave, or to the quarry or something...

*shrug*

[revelp8]

Yep - once you've been sent down to Revelp8, each time you beat him, you get one shot at me, and then back to him....

*shrug*

just like in the movie

we're sending you to the rock sean connery. you get this rookie FBI, named monotone actor.

[T roo]

Wah :o So I don't need to beat Revelp yet! Yay, expect to see me soon Whit ;)

[Whitdjinn]

Yep, because I am so much easier to beat than Revelp8! hehe

[T roo]

Yep, because I am so much easier to beat than Revelp8! hehe

Lol, not so much that. But now I have a chance of taking you on again. I thought I never would be able to challenge you again because of revelp in my way :D I already know your just as tough *Thinks about our last match* *Shivers*

[revelp8]

why did you request a battle from me, you haven't lost to whit twice

great, now i gotta edit my records

[Whitdjinn]

Wow, what a battle of defensive wits!

I was positive that you had all the answers to my team, luckily Soaron and Bloomin' came through in the end, It was quite a chess match of a stall war at the end there, nicely played!

You can challenge me again, once you defeat Revelp8.

[T roo]

I knew My only chance was Big Sis. If I hadn't lost Freddie I would have been able to cure Lackitu of the poison. I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what to do next. I loved your team. If only I had countered Bloomin's Rock Slide earlier. I was so excited when Big Sis survived Sherman's attack and then unleashed my counter.

[Whitdjinn]

Yeah, i knew it was coming, but Was hoping Sherman had enough to make it a KO, and then he just got obliterated by the Counter.

[Whitdjinn]

Curtis,

Nice battle, I liked the look of your team. You may want to check around for strategies on EV training, and playing to the pokemon's strengths. (I.e. using physical moves for pokemon who have a higher attack stat and special moves for those with special attack) THis would have helped you out tremendously in our battle.

I hope to see you again in a week!

[Whitdjinn]

Hammer,

It was a good battle, you had a nice variety on your team. I would suggest training and evolving your final pokemon. If you like, you can rechallenge in a week.

[Whitdjinn]

Well, My setup was able to go all the way, I wasn't sure I was going to be able to pull it off as your pokemon kept waking up early! Remember that while the combo is very effective, its also fairly frail, and can be overcome with some planning.

I look forward to your next challenge! You can rechallenge in a week.

[Whitdjinn]

While this match was closer than the score indicates, I really thought that If Soaron could have survived that last move, that I would have been in a very good position. Very nicely played, wonderful battle, and badge wonderfully deserved.

Way to go!!

I got lucky at several points with my Bronzong waking up quickly, and that Pokemon of yours who got switched into a super-effective move.... If Soaron had managed to survive that Charge Beam at the end, I'm pretty sure you would have won. Awesome battle, that was very tough. :)

[Whitdjinn]

This was a great battle with many common pokes on our teams. Soaron was able to take care of your last 3 pokes and Nyah Nyah landed the finishing blow after Darg0n was sacrificed.

Nice work!! I look forward to seeing you in a week or so!

[Bobreeder]

That was a real lesson in battling, and that I can't have a close-to-purely physical team! I will be back later ^^

[Whitdjinn]

T-Roo

I liked the new looks i saw on your team. I was really expecting that first move to 2hko my lead, that switch allowed me to pick off your switch-in and it kinda went downhill from there for you. :(

You'll have to get Revelp8 again. Thanks for the battle!

[revelp8]

hello again t roo :D

any day after tuesday is good for me n.n

[T roo]

Yeah, I was hoping it would go the same way that it did against revelp8's opener. Yours must have more special IV's. Dang flinching :p

Hi again Revelp.

[Whitdjinn]

Holy cow, I still cant get over how well FairyTale was able to take a beating like that. I guess it makes since, because thats the way you bred him. Very nice win, well played all the way through the battle. You have deserved the shiny badge completely.

[Bobreeder]

That was my most epic battle yet! That miss in the end only proved to be Arceus having a laugh, I was thinking I was going to lose! Very nice battle, and Fairytale is my MVP ^^ It was a very close battle, and could have tipped either way.

[razorbeam]

great comeback Bobreeder. congrats on your shiny badge :)

[Trombones13]

Great job, Thor! :-D

[Arcticwlf]

Question: How did Sandstorm manage to last that long?

[Whitdjinn]

Arcticwlf - It was a nice battle, and you bested my lead strategy, so I was required to get a little more creative. Thankfully, I was able to do away with your lead and NotADragon got setup after that. From there, unfortunately not much could be done.

Assuming I still don't have an assistant, you can rechallenge in a week!

By the way - to answer your question, sandstorm started with the ability Sandstream is permanent.

[Whitdjinn]

Warpath,

Great battle! Drillbit surprised the heck outta me!! It did a wonderful job handling my lead. Unfortunately I was able to slowly gain back ground and take out the rest of your team.

You're more than welcome to try again in a week!

[Whitdjinn]

What a battle!

That one was very close, I think you using Knock Off on sherman actually saved me the battle. I ended up having to just throw pokes in front of kapowy to stall for the win.

[Whitdjinn]

After I was able to setup, there wasn't much you were able to do. Luckily, you'll be able to get another crack at it next week.

[revelp8]

>.> NOW activity picks up :rolleyes:

[Whitdjinn]

Please note: Within an hour from you gaining your gym, I had 5 battle requests, plus a couple that just PM'd me :P

[S Tailor]

LOL, it seems everyone was scared of revelp - that shows you did a great job :D

[Whitdjinn]

Well, it wasn't easy, but I was able to hold off your shiny badge attempt this time.

Feel free to re-challenge in a week. by the way, very nicely played with your late game sweeper there. I had no safe switchins.

[run_bubba_run]

yeah. my lead needs work i think.
it nearly had you on a switch in at first but in the end his 30 in spatk wasnt enough.
nancie is the 7th of that pokemon i have bred and trained now. and i finally have a great one :)
cya next week :D

[Trombones13]

LOL, it seems everyone was scared of revelp - that shows you did a great job :D
Pssh; yeah! The only thing is...I don't stand a chance against Whit either. xD

[T roo]

What a battle!

That one was very close, I think you using Knock Off on sherman actually saved me the battle. I ended up having to just throw pokes in front of kapowy to stall for the win.
Lol I know. I just knew it was holding a Choice Band and I had to knock it off for less damage, until I realized that now you could use rock slide now. lol.


Pssh; yeah! The only thing is...I don't stand a chance against Whit either. xD
But now if you lose, you just get to beat up on whit again ;)

[Trombones13]

Lol I know. I just knew it was holding a Choice Band and I had to knock it off for less damage, until I realized that now you could use rock slide now. lol.


But now if you lose, Whit just gets to beat up on you again ;)
*edited to make correct* LOL

[T roo]

Lol, all the more fun for Whit. :lol: He beats on me as well

[Whitdjinn]

Well that was a great back forth, unfortunately NotADragon was able to get setup, and that helped me out quite a bit, after that it was a lot of revenge killing back and forth :)

[Empoleon67]

Yeah,Notadragon is annoying.My last pokemon was not the pokemonI was going to use,but I couldnt resist using it

[Whitdjinn]

WOW!! what a match! Great battle bubba - You'll have your shiny badge before long, but you'll have to wait at least a week!

[run_bubba_run]

WOW!! what a match! Great battle bubba - You'll have your shiny badge before long, but you'll have to wait at least a week!

yep, i'll be back.
i'm determined like last time hehe

[Whitdjinn]

Well I think that my entry hazards and good switching got me this battle, and Bloomin's ability to outstall your last couple pokes.

I hope you'll be back in a week!

[Whitdjinn]

Again - it came to stalling out a status problem. Escargo was a pain in the neck!!

Great battle, see you in a week!

Also - This was my 50th win!!

[T roo]

If only the demensions stayed twisted one more turn. GG. *cough*Dang Flinch also*cough*

[Whitdjinn]

Holy cow, what a long battle! Several of your team members gave me some huge problems. Some good switches and smart play was able to get me out of an early hole. Feel free to rechallenge in a week!

[HiHi!]

Yeah, that battle was long alright! Almost an hour, I think.

[sasuke715]

great battle whitdjinn
That darg0n is incredibly stong

[Whitdjinn]

good battle, you had a good selection of pokes.

I might suggest looking into EV training as i'm not sure that your pokes were trained :)

[sasuke715]

hahah sure whitdjinn
im training more on the way
now whos that assisstant I must battle

[Whitdjinn]

Cinder is the assistant now, but his team isn't quite ready yet. You can challenge me again in a week :)

[sasuke715]

ok Much thanks ill come back stronger then ever next time

[Whitdjinn]

Very close battle - I survived your last move by 18hp. I liked the changes on your team, and I was able to overcome a few missteps also.

You'll need to face Cinder before challenging me again. Please let me know when you have done so.

[Whitdjinn]

This was a fun battle! You're switching in the beginning let me set up a bit which put a huge hole in your team. Luckily you had some answers to it, and I wasn't able to make it a full sweep. Soaron was able to get in his set up and make it very difficult for Flashpoint to respond.

You can rechallenge in a week!

[Ancient Mew]

:lol: yes, you did. unfortunately when i switched to Transforme I realized my moveset was missing a component. i thought for sure you'll be sweeping me 6-0 and i can only hold on as long as i can. I'm happy with my Boompow and Ultimax. i guess i have to sat hello to Cinder "here i come" :oops:

[Whitdjinn]

WOW!! That was a GREAT battle!! I had your opening bested, but I think that you're play in the end bested me, essentially my answer to your mixed attacker was already fainted.

Great job with the badge, finally!! :D

[rj61]

Well I think it is about time. I was kind of worried for the longest time. I thought for sure that my mixed sweeper would of been ko'd by someone in your team because in any battle he does.

[Trombones13]

Well I think it is about time. I was kind of worried for the longest time. I thought for sure that my mixed sweeper would of been ko'd by someone in your team because in any battle he does.
Congratulations on the badge, RJ! :-D

@Ancient Mew: You get one more try with Whit in a week first. :-D

[Whitdjinn]

Wow, it was a great battle, and in the end my pokes just weren't dolling out the damage they should have. I probably made 2-3 misplays, and you took full advantage of them all. A lot of hard work has been done for a couple of your pokes, and your play has improved GREATLY!! Badge well earned, and it took almost 70 battles for it to happen, but I finally have a losing streak of 2 :P

[Whitdjinn]

Not sure what happened there man, but that DC was very untimely. You had some great luck in that match, and was also able to take advantage of a few misplays by me. You had me way back on the ropes

You can rechallenge in a week. :(

[Amos]

Oh, my DS ran out of power! Gaaaaah.

Such is life. Oh well. I shall be back with a new team next week. :)

[Whitdjinn]

Quite a battle!! In the end it came down to Soaron, and he was able to finish the job. He always seems to be able to get me out of the hole I dig myself into.

Nice work on the battle, there was some good prediction on both sides and great variety in your team.

[Whitdjinn]

Wow, another nailbiter! Again, Soaron was the difference. If you haven't battled me twice since you issued the initial shiny challenge, then you get another crack at me in a week!

See you then!

[Whitdjinn]

That battle wasn't even close! Your lead tore through my first 2-3 pokes without much problem. I was expecting a different move from your lead on my first switch, which I was prepared for, but it didn't make much difference, did it? Nice work.

[Whitdjinn]

Not quite as dominating as our last battle (The D/C) But we both knew it was going to be a very short time before you managed to get the shiny badge. Very well played, I walked right into the speed boost, but I think I played the part after that OK. That good prediction wasn't enough to dig me out of the hole I was in tho. Great battle.

[Amos]

As i said in my VM, i cannot believe i just won.
That Soaran of yours...
*Shakes head*
Mmyeah. If i hadn't had gotten that Speed boost off to take out a few others in the process [b52 and your SS wall] I would have been buggered.
Ah well.
No more challenging! And a truly wonderful streak of challenges that it was. :)

[Whitdjinn]

A good battle, you did very well with the beginning of the battle! Unfortunately Easter Egg was able to setup and you only had one counter, which I was able to deal with.

I hope to see you in a week!

[Whitdjinn]

Nice battle good sir. You had some lucky punches, but so did I, and I don't think it would have made much difference anyway. I walked into one OHKO, and another move that completely disabled one poke. Well played and nice work on the shiny badge!!

[run_bubba_run]

dont think the battles stop here whit. i'm going to make you sign a contract say you battle me every week. our battles are always epic! :)
i wonder if i rub my other badges hard enough, will they go shiny too ? :p

[Whitdjinn]

First, pikaluva13 - I think that you started this match very strongly and probably could have won, but a couple misplays by you helped me to secure the victory with a couple fragile pokes left. We discussed what you probably should have done though, so you'll prolly take this one next time.

Trombones13 - My wildcard (which I have taken quite a liking to) proved to be too much, even when delivering not very effective moves. That proved to be your undoing, plus a bit of the setup from the beginning which put you in a hole.

[Trombones13]

*still failing to punch Buzz Saw*
Nice game. I'll see you...in, like, a year. xD

[pikaluva13]

"We discussed what you probably should have done though, so you'll prolly take this one next time."

You mean like that one that we discussed, and you knew it was coming, so it failed XD

[Whitdjinn]

A valliant effort, and I was a bit worried near the beginning, however BuzzSaw's setup was able to stall you enough to really make a difference. You got pretty lucky during that exchange with several double protects succeeding, and a very timely taunt.

In any case, you'll have to defeat Cinder again! Best of luck!!

By the way, I liked the look of your new team, it seemed pretty well rounded.

[Whitdjinn]

Well, it was an untimely disconnect, Though I was set up pretty well to be able to put you at quite a disadvantage. I must say I was expecting a different move from your lead in turn 2, which allowed me to use up your sash.

You can rechallenge in a week, so you're not quite kicked to the assistant yet.

[Zafran]

i expected you to expect that so i decided to go with what i used XD didnt work as i hoped. and yeah you were setup to destroy me with your second pokemon. i tried to avoid the same mistake i did against the beacon gym by switching to so shiny right away and you did exactly what i thought you would. though a speed boosting nature stopped my pathetic attempt :(
yeah hopefully next week i wont dc.
*starts thinking of how to avoid that beast in his rematches against both gyms*

[Whitdjinn]

Wow, that battle was close from the beginning. Ended in a 2-2 stall war that went on for way too long, luckily Sherman was able to break through the wall finally and end it all. My hold item, which i was cursing for half the battle ended up securing the win for me. Nice job, you're improving every battle. You'll have to face Cinder now.

[Whitdjinn]

Wow, that battle started innocently enough - pretty much standard opening between our two leads. Soaron was able to come in and get a few good shots in, especially when your lead made another appearance to ruin his fun.

When TinyShrip and NotADragon faced off, the intimidate and my movepool helped to finish you off. From there NotADragon had a pretty easy go of it once set up.

You'll have to beat Cinder now, before challenging me again. I look forward to seeing you soon!

[Whitdjinn]

Good battle, you were able to take out the pokemon that let me setup with your priority moves! Nice job!

I'll send you some more tips in a PM.

[wicked_rapture]

*shakes head* ;)

[run_bubba_run]

*shakes head* ;)

*nudges wicked for being smart*

how are we all here in the boulder gym?

[Whitdjinn]

bored - its been almost a week since my last battle!! c'mon people!

[pikaluva13]

bored - its been almost a week since my last battle!! c'mon people!

well i can't battle you yet...so yeah :lol:

[Cinder]

well i can't battle you yet...so yeah :lol:

You can battle me instead. :D

[run_bubba_run]

bored - its been almost a week since my last battle!! c'mon people!

i'll battle you again if your really bored, could make up some fun rules like no items or something?

[Whitdjinn]

Wow, you had a ton of power on your team.

Even when I was down 3-6, I thought there was a chance that I could make a comeback, but the damage I was doing wasn't enough to make a big dent.

GREAT battle, and a badge well earned!!

[HiHi!]

It was a really good game :)
I was really afraid of all of the entry hazzards

[run_bubba_run]

great work and congratulations on your badge HiHi!

[Whitdjinn]

Great battle! I didnt expect that moveset from one of your pokemon, and it was able to outlast my stall. A timely critical hit, along with a freeze allowed you to overcome my answers to your team.

Very nicely done!

[baguio]

thank you ^^
i made a huuuuge mistake before battle and i almost lost beacouse of it
at least in the end it worked fine *-*

[Whitdjinn]

I think i know the mistake you're talking about, and it made me look twice during our inspection...but it ended up being fine for you because of the pokemon I had left at the end :)

[Whitdjinn]

It was a good battle. Your non standard movesets threw me for a loop, and made it tough to deal with some moves. Your critical on Buzz Saw probably got you a couple more pokes to faint than otherwise.

You can rechallenge in a week!

[sasuke715]

Good game whit.
Buzz saw is always a problem for me ! Despite everyones attempts, Buzz Saw always seems to have advantage with the ev'd defense stat.
Time for cinder lol and next time ill find a way around buzz saw

[Whitdjinn]

I think that's the right score...

Buzz Saw gave you some problems, and I took a gamble which let you take it out. After that, I was just too far ahead for you to recover. Nicely played and I like the additions to your team.

[Whitdjinn]

Same score as last time, as NotADragon was able to setup and sweep the team. I liked the variety of pokemon on your team.

One thing I would suggest, from what I saw is making sure the movesets you use compliement the strengths of the pokemon (For example, using physical attacking moves for a pokemon with a stronger attack stat, and special attacking moves for pokemon with a higher special attack stat.

I would also suggest checking out Battling Arts, they have a GREAT program with some 1 on 1 help and guidance that will help you be more successful.

You'll have to defeat Cinder before you can challenge me again.

Thanks for liking my team. i'll check out the battling arts soon. :)

[Whitdjinn]

Hoby,

That battle was much closer than our last one. You took out one of my more defensive pokes pretty easily, but the strength of Soaron prevailed in the end.

[Whitdjinn]

Well that was much much closer than it should have been with a couple untimely crits and Soaron being frozen for about...12 turns or something.

It was him, though, who was able to pull it out in the end. Nice battle, and well rounded team. You can rechallenge in a week!

[Whitdjinn]

I recorded the 0 for your team since you ran way, but the score was 6-5 at the time. I think that you made just one big mistake on your first switch. That pokemon you brought in doesnt take physical hits very well and b52 was able to take full advantage. When you ran Soaron had just finished setting up entry hazards and it would have been an interesting match there on out.

[Whitdjinn]

Well that was disappointing, first battle in quite some time and we get disconnected before our leads were even KO'd.

We'll have to try again in a week.

[Whitdjinn]

Wow, what a battle. You were able to take out my lead and 2nd pokemon without much trouble. NotADragon was able to setup just a bit to get me through the middle part before our stall war. That match had a little bit of everything, including a fantastic Soaron finish!

Nice work. You can re-challenge in a week.

[Katai]

hahaha! That stall war was funny. I was like "Omg..when is it going to END" lol. After a while I knew you were going to take him down. It was VERY close.

[Whitdjinn]

I don't seem to have very much luck with you. My gym's typing makes it tough to counter your type coverage, which is very well spread out. A very quality win for you, I'll have to admit I was very surprised by your lead, which probably cost me my lead when I may not have had to.

Enjoy your shiny badge!!

[Whitdjinn]

Well adam,

This was a battle with team members that I was quite familiar with. Prediction played a huge part in how the score ended up here. EggsNBacon didn't catch me off guard this time and I had an answer. That, and my entry hazzards made all the difference in the world.

You can rechallenge in a week, unless Nikola is ready.

[Whitdjinn]

Sasuke,

Quite a battle. You're opening strategy did almost what it was supposed to, but Buzz Saw survived and was able to escape your plans.

You can rechallenge in a week, Unless Nik is ready.

[Whitdjinn]

This battle was much closer than the score shows, it would have been over much quicker and with a different result if it wasn't for you switching out WHAM after setting up. That was the only move you made that confused me. Soaron again proved his worth by taking out your last 4 pokes.

[Kiwi]

What? At the start of the battle? Or when I Baton Passed to Starbeam against whatsisname?
WHAM couldn't really do much damage against either of them, and Starbeam didn't seem to be doing much either.

Good battle :P
Now to find Nik...

[Trombones13]

Great battle, Whit; that was really close and really fun. :-D

[Whitdjinn]

Yes, it was a great battle. I was so proud of Soaron for taking the battle from 2-5 to 1-2 before your critical explosion finished 'im off. You got an early lead and truely earned the shiny badge. And won a Jirachi to boot!!

Nicely done, Kurt.

[Whitdjinn]

This was a fun battle, Buzz Saw was able to set up and take out the majority of your team, though you used several pokes I hadn't seen before and i applaud you for that! Your lead especially threw me off a bit.

You can re-challenge in a week, and I hope you do!

[Ryan493]

Thanks! I will. yeah, buzz saw's rest attack threw me off:)

[Whitdjinn]

Well, our leads didn't end up mattering much in this match as we both switched from them rather quickly. You were able to take out NotADragon after he set up which accounted for your lone kill.

I applaud the fact that you keep coming back with new pokemon and new strategies. Keep it up and soon you'll be able to find one which gets the best of me!

[Whitdjinn]

I unfortunately had the advantage from the beginning. b52 was able to put a damper into your plans from the get go. I had a slight misplay with him once NotADragon was sent in, though he was able to set up and take out your entire team.

Feel free to rechallenge in a week :)

[Killerjeff88]

Nice game. this proves that im not quite ready yet. =p
see u in a week ^^

[Whitdjinn]

Wow!! You had a 5-3 or 5-2 advantage at one point. and Bloomin' just kept rockin it out even against super effective physical attacks, which it's not built to handle.

I gotta give full props to Bloomin' Loved your team, it had me on the ropes for most of the battle.


***100th Battle as Gym Leader***

[Trombones13]

Congrats on completing Battle #100, Whit! ^_^

[Whitdjinn]

I had several battles tonight, listing them all here...

Sasuke715 - 5-5 - Another untimely D/C. We really need to figure that out.

Pikaluva13 3-0 - This one was a good battle until Buzz Saw took over and did some real damage.

Shayden 3-0 - Again, you had the lead here until Soaron literally took over, Entry Hazzards FTW!

"some real damage." SOME? xD More like tons of damage :lol: Great Match...i thought i had it too near the beginning...

[Whitdjinn]

This wasn't a great battle, on my part. You did a great job dealing with my team. I made an attempt at using my gimmick team, and it definitely didn't pay off. My misplays didn't help any. There were some unique movesets that caught me off guard as well.

Badge well earned!!

Also, you win the 2nd Nintendo Zone Jirachi!!

Let's set up a time to do the trade at some point soon.

[Matt42]

Yeah, I am glad I brought Blaze with me in this one. I was going to bring a "friend" of his but Blaze was better in most stats, so he kept me from the shiny badge. :( But you can be sure to see me again :D

And thanks for the Jirachi :) I can trade for it tomorrow around 8 if thats good with you.

[razorbeam]

Congratulations Matt42 :applaud: for Jirachi prize and the badge.

[platinum]

Where do I go to request a battle?

[Trombones13]

Some reading for you. (http://forum.pokefarm.com/showpost.php?p=12094&postcount=3)

[Whitdjinn]

Much closer than our last battle! Your team hasn't changed much, but you seemed to do a much better job with it this time around.

We'll see you in a week!!

[Whitdjinn]

After many close battles, you were finally able to do it!!

Congratulations on your win, this like all of our battles were extremely close. I think we each had a few very nice predictions and it came down to a tense cat and mouse game with our last 2 pokemon each. I definitely misplayed it and didn't expect you to play it safe, but you did, and it cost me.

Nice work sir!!

[Whitdjinn]

That was quite a battle!! You got the early advantage, and the critical hit on Soaron really turned the tides against me. NotADragon was able to make some sort of run, but in the end, your Blade finished me off in fine style.

Congratulations on your Shiny Badge!!

[Killerjeff88]

I was lucky to get a stone edge crit on soaron but I receive an ice punch crit from Sherman
Yet another turnabout as my stone edge misses on NotADragon along with flinches from waterfall in return.
3 Sword Dances brought me a victory. awesome match. (I was shaking throughout the match)

[Whitdjinn]

Yep, thats right...after 10 battles, the 11th time is a charm!

It was a great battle and your new strategies worked very well, along with a well timed crit. Baby missing an attack bought me some time, but in the end you were able to best my team fairly handily.

Nice work, Shiny badge well deserved!!

[sasuke715]

Im still in shock. You the MOST trivial and smartest gym leader, and I still cannot believe I won. Wow I need a pinch in the arm or some soda. It was an awesome battle very close yet again I got scared. I cant believe 22.2 saved the day

[Whitdjinn]

Well, this was a pretty one-sided battle after your lead missed and mine was able to escape untouched. Nyx gave me a start for a bit, but as it ended up, I had a way to deal with it. Bloomin was really the MVP in that match. I'm glad that you've taken steps to change your team up, keep it up!

[Whitdjinn]

Well, it took long enough!! I'm not sure where I went wrong in this battle, a couple bad switches here and there and allowing Buzz Saw to go down really hurt.

Congrats on winning your Meteor badge.

[pikaluva13]

Thanks, i'm glad i did that item switching, i honestly think that that was the reason that i won...Great Match :)

*was super happy when Buzz Saw fainted, as that's what's taken me down in several other battles* (as you could tell in the Skype convo) :lol:

Again, Great Match

PS: I also noticed that your pokemon weren't the majority of my team for once, i honestly can say i won with mostly my pokemon xD

[Whitdjinn]

Well, you struggled in that battle. Soaron was absolutely dominant until an untimely freeze forced me to switch. You were able to pick off a couple pokes after that point and to tell the truth there were a couple pokes there that I hadn't seen brought against me before. Nicely done, you can rechallenge in a week.

[Vasden2]

Thanks, yeah I was like super unlucky, especial after I like 8 fire punches with no burn status, and only 1/5 Rock SLice's crit hits, you also escaped freezing the turn it froze.

[Whitdjinn]

This one was a bit closer than your regular gym challenge - but the result is the same nonetheless. Nicely done. The move that took out Soaron Completely took me by surprise, though I'm sure I read about the same thing somewhere else. I thought Buzz Saw was going to make a run there, but you were able to get set up just a bit on me. In any case, Shiny badge well deserved.

[Matt42]

Thanks :)
And yeah Rocky seems to take many people by surprise ;) And when you brought out Buzz Saw I was really scared :p But I pulled through ^_^
And GG :D
