Well stats wise the slower Pokemon will attack first in 5 turns. Or for 5 turns, I'm not sure.

So if you have Snorlax and Electrode and Snorlax used TR in 5 turns its attack would hit first.

Although neither of those pokemon learn the attack. obviously. heh.

[Pichu Luver]

*blinks* Well that's a wierd move if I've ever seen one. Five turns seems a bit . . . long, or maybe its just me.

Edit:
Spoilage warning, I think.

Beak Peck: 60% Double damage if foe is holding a berry.

. . . Ok they are REALLY running out of ideas . .

[Chris 2.1]

It is weird. A lot of new attacks are about effects occuring in turns. Like rain dance/sunny day I guess.

[Pichu Luver]

Maybe, but those three helped other moves and boosted certain Pokémon. Having an attack that only happens in five movs, and only lasts one turn is just strange. It might help if you plan, but plans that long have to be really lucky to go right.

[Chris 2.1]

They're desperate. Power Swap and Guard Swap seem interesting.

[Saffire Persian]

Imagine one of the Regis with one of those moves. @_@

I could think those would come in handy. Well, in ASB it would be difficult, but doable.

[darktyranitar]

Hello darktyranitar it appears that you have not posted on our forums in several weeks, why not take a few moments to ask a question, help provide a solution or just engage in a conversation with another member in any one of our forums?

So... I'm back for a week for Chinese New Year...

Yay?

WB darkT. Have a cookie

[Lady Vulpix]

Hey, Elec Man EXE! How's my battle going?

[Elec Man EXE]

The one I'm reffing, you mean? Its TBA's turn to post attacks, not much I can do until he does (and he posted in the absence tower about being busy, so...).

[The Blue Avenger]

Yea, sorry about that. School's been crazy this week.

[Lady Vulpix]

Ah, sorry about that. Thanks for posting, Jeff!

I guess I'm just not used to the way ASB works. BT battles tend to end a lot faster.

[Knight of Time]

Yeah, battles here often take weeks (even months) to finish, but hey, that's what people new to the ASB have to get used to.

ASB and AC/CC are very different from one another. While in AC/CC Pokemon can use any move they know, including one egg move, any moves known at their level (according to the FAQ there), TMs, and so on, ASB Pokemon can use any move in their moveset, it doesn't matter whether it's naturally learned, an egg move, a move tutored move, or a TM, if it's legal on the Pokemon in the games, it's legal here.

Though for moves from the earlier games that are TMs only in D/P (e.g. Will-O-Wisp), they are illegal for now if the Pokemon only learns the move by TM. That will change eventually when D/P are out worldwide.

[Negrek]

Would there be any way to reserve a place in the Random Tourney ahead of time? If it's starting soon, I'm going to be gone, although I'd really like to participate, so I was just wondering if there was some way I could not miss signing up.

[Chris 2.1]

I'm afraid not. I just don't think its fair. We are going to have 16 places hopefully though so I'm sure we wont be filled up that fast.

[Lady Vulpix]

I know that, Kyle. I made sure to learn the rules before I started. It's the dynamics I still need to get used to.

[Negrek]

Dang. Well, I'll see if I can find a computer while I'm gone, then.

[Yumemiru]

ZOMFG hi.

<3<3<3 Lady Vulpix!


...this is not spam.

[Knight of Time]

OMG Amanda, I haven't seen you in ages, how are things?

Coming back to ASB I wonder? I came back months ago, I've already gotten used to the new ASB, though I'm (currently) not a ref right now.

[Yumemiru]

Oh darn. My secret identity has been discovered. /cry

Join again? Hmm... if a battle really takes weeks or over a month to complete these days, to be honest I'm likely to end up losing interest and getting DQ'd on my first battle. Participation not quite what it used to be eh?

OMFGWTFLAWL you're selling hangman plushies? I remember when we MADE that game... geez...

Yeah, those plushies are for trade, not sale (selling them to someone else is illegal in Pokemon Hangman anyway). At one point, I used to be a worker months ago with mr_pikachu and Number1ChanseyFan, but I resigned after a bad computer crash that wiped out the information about what plushies I have. Luckily, I've got lots of them recorded on my website, and it likely is possible I can go through previous versions of Pokemon Hangman to see what plushies I won that aren't on my site, but other than that, I'm not returning to the staff there anytime soon.

Sorry I called you by your real name, Yumeriru, I still remembered it from the old ASB days. Memories here are hard to forget at times.

I was quite surprised when Gabi/Lady Vulpix joined, at first, I didn't expect her to be a member, and look at her now, she's already getting used to battling.

[Chris 2.1]

The Auction will stop on Monday. Points will be tallied.


Signups for The Random Tournament will commence on WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28TH

[Lady Vulpix]

Oh, Amanda, welcome back!

Yes, I joined ASB after being poked into it by both Hypotenuse Man and Crystal Tears, and after the latter gave me a briefing of all the rules. I'm still getting used to it, and not yet enjoying it as much as AC/CC, but it's a good way to interact with other people on TPM, and it can be fun.

[kitsun]

So, what exactly is the Random Tournament?

[Chris 2.1]

In a few days time it will be the Third Tournament we will have held in ASB. More details will follow once we begin it but, basically, you'll be fighting with three all new, all randomised Pokemon against everyone else in ASB.

Vermillion. Nice to have you back again and it's good to see someone taking on some of the unreffed battles. Courteous as always, enjoy these 5 points my friend!

[Saffire Persian]

Congrats, Verm. ^_^

[The Blue Avenger]

Congratulations, Vermillion!

[Vermillion]

Dude...wow thanks! I didn't think I was doing that much, just my fair share. Much oblige. ^_^

[Chris 2.1]

All teams for the Random Tourney have been PMed to you. Expect Round 1 pairings, Round Brief and matches to commence today.

[Silencer]

My team looks awesome

1 I own (a form of it)
1 I want to own
and
1 that just looks kick ass :p

[Vermillion]

Same here, I owned 1, traded 1, and thinking about getting the 3rd

[Phoenixsong]

Erk... one of mine I'm not so thrilled with, but the other two... mwahaha. Pwnage, plurx. I even sort of almost own one of them... well... I will, after my own li'l 'un gets some more experience. *pokes Mew Master*

Ah, well. Soon (hopefully tonight), someone will suffer the supreme wrath of Schadenberg, Walghvogel and Razinthéal! Mwahahahaha!

[Negrek]

Mine are all right. One of them is a favorite of a friend, and another one that I had considered getting myself.

*goes off to see if she can figure out Phoenixsong's team before it's revealed*

[Pichu Luver]

I've never owned any of mine, but the last one is absolutely hilarious that I got it. *sniggers* Are you trying to say something Chris? Lol, over all though, they are pretty good Poké's. ^^ Now for names . . . hmm . . .

[Phoenixsong]

Mine are all right. One of them is a favorite of a friend, and another one that I had considered getting myself.

*goes off to see if she can figure out Phoenixsong's team before it's revealed*

Yeah... you have fun with that. XD

[Saffire Persian]

One of them I'm quite thrilled over getting, even if it doesn't have the most spectacular moveset. It it were a male, I'd know exactly what to name her. Unfortunately now, I have to think of a new one. :/ The other two are all right, and good Pokémon, one I'm just iffy about.

[The Blue Avenger]

None of mine are Pokemon I've ever trained, but 2 out of the three have fantastic movesets. The third should be fun to use, but it's not a spectacular Pokemon.

[Negrek]

Yeah... you have fun with that. XD

Gotten the salamence right so far; the heck is a "walgh bird", though?

Your guess is as good as mine. C'mon, try harder.
