    Mission accomplished.

    Mission Complete.jpg [/HIDE]

    Arbok is a surprisingly good stall breaker, although fast special attackers give it problems. Rhydon is a super beast, so is Crawdaunt. I tried using Glaceon for a while, but having to pick between HP electric or HP Ground makes it sad. Nobody is prepared for trick room beheeyem... too bad about rampant sucker punches.

    Lastly, Volbeat for best cockblock in the tier.

    I might try to rise higher, but my level of caring is now decreased so there is a greater risk of tilting and me completely not caring. Either way, was a fun challenge.

    Edit: wow that image posted far smaller than intended, sorry.

    After about 400 battles I think, I'm finally ready to be done with this team. It skyrocketed in the early days of the challenge, took a hard fall for a while, and then rose back higher than ever. Rain, or any weather for that matter, is very hard to counter in NU, so I chose to abuse it like crazy. I'm not particularly a good battler, so this proves rain is just really strong. Of course, in the hands of an expert player who can actually predict well as well as make some revisions, I have faith that this team can even peak at 1st.

    Just noting that there are a bit under 2 weeks remaining (12 days, to be precise.)
    Good luck to everyone who is still participating!

    What's happening with the new drops and this challenge?

    Do we not use them or give them all a price of say 10 coins?

    Lol 10 points for these amazing Pokémon. xD I would think (and hope) that we would just stop the challenge given the tier has radically been altered.

    So far the new pokes haven't really caused me any trouble. I've actually been happier facing them than the normal pokes xD

    Hi, can a tier leader reply to this? Depending on the reply I might do the challenge again with a new alt and team.

    10 seems a little low, I'd say 13 for most of them, 20 for absol and dusclops, since they were good enough to be LU and are very threatening

    Since cased isn't moderating his challenge n_n
    I will do it.

    All of the new Pokemon are the maximum amount.
    Sorry if this makes integrating them into your teams hard, but they are all good.

    Sorry to user Um Hello for not answering his/her question on time. If you have a question regarding the challenge this late, I definitely prefer for anybody to post on my wall so that it'll give me a notification, and I'll definitely get right to it. Or PM me online! For anybody who knows me, I'm always willing to answer any questions.

    Two more days guys! Ladder while you can!

    I also back up Finch's statement on the newly released Pokemon
