IPhone 5S?! * Rumours *

The IPhone 5S/IPhone 6 is rumored to be an low-cost( yeah if you can say 400 USD is cheap....) phone, which will be released soon. It is also rumored to have an Super-HD or 13 Megapixel camera, great for people who use Instagram. However, the Samsung Galaxy S4( FINALLY!) is also rumored to be coming out soon, which will most probably win over most Instagram users with it's wide range of camera functions and much better Android OS. It is even rumored to have a retina display along with a A7 Quad Core chip processor. This all seems very appealing until you see that all these function( Except for A7 Quad Core chip and 13 Megapixel camera) are not really very good. So what do you think? Is it really necessary to have a 13 Megapixel camera? Post in the comments below!

"Baton Passing (Part 1)" Pokemon Lesson #1 OU Baton Passing

So, I heard you are new to competitive battling? Are you new to competitive battling? If you answer yes, then read on!
Baton Passing-
The Best Leads-
Ninjask, Smeargle
 - All credit to Cheezburger.com. Ninjask is too fast sometimes.

Ninjask-

Mash 160 speed up with protect and substitute and you have a great lead right there! The icing on the cake is Speed Boost which ups your speed every turn! Baton Pass is just another great thing. Here is the best set I have found so far* Some data is from Smogon *-
Ninjask@Leftovers
EVs- 252 Hp/252 Speed/ 4 Def
Nature-Jolly
Item- Leftovers
baton pass
toxic/swords dance
protect
substitute
Protect and Substitute let you stall several turns and will get you to +6 quickly and Baton Pass lets you pass it on to another Pokemon.

Smeargle-
It can learn every single move.... you can never complain about lack of moves. It is a subpar Pokemon in every aspect EXCEPT in baton passing. Ingrain+Spore is hell to just about every team. Just watch out for damn Prankster Tornaduses with Taunt. Here is the best set I have found so far- *Some EVs from Smogon*
EVs- 80 HP / 96 Def / 80 SpD / 252 Spe
Nature-Timid
Item- Focus Sash
Ingrain
Baton Pass
Quiver Dance
Spore
Spore enables you to Quiver Dance without fear of damage and Ingrain allows Smeargle(and the Baton Pass recipient) to never have to worry about Phasing Moves such as Roar.
Alternate Moveset* Made by me *-
252 HP/4 Def/ 252 Spe
Nature- Timid
Item-White Herb/leftovers
Shell Smash
Recover
Spore
Baton Pass
A bulky Smeargle. Unexpected but useful. Essentially the same set as before but much bulkier. Shell Smash+White Herb is deadly as it is a HUGE boost with no drawbacks.
Thanks for reading and be sure to check out Part 2 coming soon!





 

Special Kyothundurus Troll Team Battle vs Helljudgement

Yes, I did add Xatu just to deflect rocks because my team switches out a LOT. Volt Switch Thundurus wrecked in this battle with Xatu's assistance. Good Game Helljudgement!

PRopro999(me) vs Just Fred Wifi Battle 5(OU)

Yes, this was a battle with a few misplays like using psyshock on his Tyranitar and even some mispredicts. Lucario also stopped a dangerous threat of mine later in the match with an well timed extremespeed.

PRopro999(Me) VS Lord_N_Harmonia(Ubers)

http://www.pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ubers11986680
Yeah... my enemy disconnected unfortunately. This was an Ubers match. Arceus-Dark is actually really broken, many people think it is inferior to Darkrai because of no Dark Void, but it has Refresh and Recover along with bulk to aid it in sweeping. Even Chansey and Blissey slowly fall to the Calm Mind set because of Refresh and Recover. Well, anyway, this battle was great, be sure to check it out!

Wifi battle Battle 3 PRopro999(Me) vs Kow

http://www.pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ubers11551187
My first Ubers upload! I am still getting used to the Metagame so my plays might not be perfect. Genesect was probably the most useful Pokemon in this battle ending the game with Explosion and constantly U-turning to give my team momentum. Shoutout to Kow for an amazing match!

Prpro(me) Vs Fallensora Wifi Battle 2( Pokemon Showdown!)

http://www.pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ou11081801
This is my 2nd Wifi battle posted on my blog! Sorry that I cannot record it now( My computer is not working). Fallensora was a great opponent and I hope I get to battle him/her again. If I get 20 views for this post, I will post a sweep( Post in the comments below what you want me to sweep with). Most sweeps are very had to do and can usually only be pulled off against beginners, thus, sweeping with a baton pass team against good players is very hard and not recommended, though Baton Passing is still viable.
