[nine naked men]

I've sent ol' Gargler an e-mail but he appears to be avoiding me. Or maybe it just didn't go through or something. :?

[Gargamel]

I have not been at house at last 2 days, I can do it now if its not too late.

[Necromagus]

Fine, 48 hours extension. Good luck to the remaining competitors.

Theres only one fight left. Baalboy forfeited so you can move whoever he was facing on to the next round.

[Necromagus]

Already did that, and I meant all the other competitors, as in everybody who is still in it :P

Don't worry about them. I myself don't know exactly what they do, but for the tourney all you need to do is keep them at 31, unless you use a hidden power, and it changes automatically. If you want to know the real definition wait till soma or someone posts.

I'm late, aren't I? XD

 

 

 

IV stands for Individual Values. Each point is equivalent to 1 stat point at level 100. For example, if we each had a Blissey, and they were identical except for yours having 25 IV in HP, and mine having 21 IV in HP, at level 100, your Blissey will have 4 more HP than mine will. Also, they determine your hidden power type and power. This ranges from 0 to 31.

 

 

 

Shoddy - Don't worry about them. Set them all to 31 unless you want hidden power, or you are using an event Pokemon such as Pikachu with Surf. If you want a stat extremely low, set it to 0. (Such as Speed for Gyro Ball)

 

 

 

Real Game - These are a pain in the rear, since they are generated when your Pokemon is created, AKA once you encounter it in the wild in most cases. It's also hard to tell exactly what the IVs are. At level 40-50, assuming no EVs, you should be able to get a calculation +/- 1 of the real value. Hidden Powers are even more of a pain here.

 

 

 

Hidden Power - This attack comes from a TM. It can have any type in the game, and its power ranges up to 70. It is always special. The type and power are calculated from your IVs, higher is not necessarily better. On Shoddy, let the built in calculator figure it out. If you're playing the real game, catch like 20-30 of whatever, level them to 100 via WiFi battle, and use an online calculator. It's not likely you'll get a 70 BP Hidden Power of the type you want, but keep it in mind when picking the best set.

 

 

 

EV stands for Effort Values. Every 4 points is equivalent to a stat point at level 100. If your Gyarados had 120 EV in attack, and mine had 160, at level 100, assuming everything else is the same, my Gyarados would have 10 more attack than yours. Each stat can go up to 255 EV points, and your pokemon can totally have 510 EV points. Assuming you have two stats you want at maximum, do NOT allocate 255 points to each. Instead, allocate 252, since the last 3 points in each do nothing. Putting the last 6 in another stat will increase that by a point.

 

 

 

Shoddy - Since most of you don't sound like competitive players, you have two choices. 1) Visit Smogon.com, they have some basic sets for almost every Pokemon, as well as EVs and explanations. 2) Forget about these. Just pick the stats you think are most important, put 252 in each, and dump the last 6 in either HP, Speed, or one of the defenses.

 

 

 

Real Game - Find and read a guide on EV-ing. Try 252-252-6 sets at first until you grow accustomed to it, then catch/breed selectively for a high IV Pokemon before running calculations to see what EVs you want on that particular Pokemon.

I'm very sorry I haven't been in touch, it was mostly because of physical health issues. However, I still haven't had the results of the remaining quarterfinal. When I don't have a PM or a reply on my thread, the remainder of the tournament will be round-robin style with the three people who have already qualified.

Round Robin?

Well, I still haven't gotten a reply from Gargamel, so I don't know where he is on that. :?

Well you should move on since he isn't responding to your pm's. You need to move this tournament on necro, it has died down.
