As always, Da Rules.
As things stand right now, Novastorme is waiting patiently in the finalists' bracket for his opponent to claw their way through the ranks to meet him. The next battle we are currently waiting on is Huinesoron vs. [EvilAI]UBEROverlord. Scapegrace will fight the winner of that match, and the winner there will go on to fight Novastorme for the gold cup.see, this is what I get for saying 'This is a small tournament so things should move quickly', it ends up going halfway into the next month... -

I was watching... it must have been your battle with EAIUO, Iximaz. Was the thing with repeatedly forcing his pokemon to switch out/into a bunch of entry hazards a strategy you planned, or one that came up as an emergency response when things went sideways?

Hazard phazing is a legitimate strategy. by

It helps if you have a lot of very defensively-oriented Pokémon on your team; because entry hazards, status effects, &c do set percentages of the target's HP as damage, you can outlast the opposition and stonewall everything they try. I don't know that it was Ix's initial strategy, but it's always worth a go. =]
Phazing, btw, is the term for forcibly switching out an opponent's Pokémon through moves like Dragon Tail, Roar, and Whirlwind. -
It was definitely planned. by

I'm too lazy to go back and rewatch the match, but if I remember right, I panicked, realized I didn't have any good counters, and started forcing AI to switch out and doing my best to annoy him into losing. Sometimes it works. :P It's a good backup when things go sideways.
I had too many sweepers to really make the hazard thing work, but no matter; next tourney, I'm planning on a Rapid Spin+Haze team to irritate everyone even more. -

I'm on Eastern Time, so I think 5 hours behind you. So I think the best day will be Saturday. I'm available most of the day. I can do 18:00 Eastern on Weekdays.

If you email me (huinesoron@hotmail.com) when you're around, my phone should buzz me and let me know.
I'm going to have to battle /from/ my phone, actually, and have had to reconstruct my team on there. I may have gotten some of the genders scrambled; I don't think you've got anything that matters for, but if you'd like me to check my previous battle logs and make sure, let me know.

My team got trounced by a six-year-old earlier today, so they need time to recover their morale anyway. ^_^
(Well, he spends so much time playing imaginary Pokemon fights that just involve him declaring that his Pokemon wins everything that I thought a proper battle might do him good...)
How are you fixed for tomorrow?

Though Saturday might actually be difficult... um, I'll post something on the day.
