Welcome to the Paradise Lost Gym

Sateru; The Blissful Dreamer of the Night

FC
1204-2902-9782


Introduction Theme
Akira Yamaoka - Dance with the Night Wind




Introductions

My name is Sateru, or at least that is the name that I wish to go by. You may call me Sa-chan if you wish to be friendly, or whatever nickname that you find suitable. I came to like Pokemon at a young age, and I still like the game. Ghost types were always my favorites, but in the beginning there were only a few to choose from. I mean, back in Red and Blue, there were only three to choose from and they were all in the same evolution group. Thankfully, through the generations... more were added along to the list.

Honestly, I was a novice at it, and to this day... I still feel like I am still not prepared for many opponents. I like to think of it as a desire to evolve further in my team, and in my own mind set. You can think of me as a young person with an old mind, and I am dead set in my ways. More so, now than ever before. My opinion is that a good team requires a strong strategic mind-set on what to do, and when to do it.

For those that wish to challenge me, I shall be not leniant, and shall only send your pokemon into blissful surrender. You can try to fight me, and only those that win, shall be given the spoils of victory! In the end, only the strongest with the most determined strength shall survive.



RULES!

*All trainers that wish to battle me, must PM me and use the secret word as their subject. I will not respond to any requests of battle out here. Of course, after PMing me, you may post some kind of aesthetic little post that will pretty much add a semblance of originality.


1.) Lv. 100 single battle for your pokemon because that is fair.

2.) Big Five Clause is going to be inducted here, and only one Legendary can be used in your team. No Ubers will be allowed in our battles.

3.) Hax items are items that rely on chance than reliability or strategy, and these are generally items that have a chance of effecting the opponent.

Examples include...

Quick Claw (Gives a chance of the user attacking first. Ironically, this is one of the few Hax items that affects the user alone, but it is still not allowed regardless.)

Bright Powder (Another item that gives an unfair advantage by reducing accuracy of the opponent.)

Scope Lens (Increases likelihood of a critical hit. Another item that relies on chance and detracts from the premise of actually using strategy in battle.)

Items that are allowed are items that increase your pokemon's abilities while not playing on the theme of chance.

Elemental increasing items (Miracle Seed, or Mystical Water for examples)
Healing Items (Leftovers, or Black Sludge for examples)
Turn increasing items (Damp Rock and Grip Claw are examples.)
Boost Items (Choice Band and Scarf for example)
Berries (If you play Pokemon, then you know what berries are)
Status Increasing Items (Expert Band, and Wide Lens are examples.)
Benefitual Harmers (Flame Orb, Toxic Orb, and Life Orb are examples)
Retaliation Items (Destiny Thread is an example)
and any item that doesn't play on chance versus strategy will be allowed.


4.) Customized Item Clause is now in effect... You may only have two items of the same name. Exceptions to this rule are the choice items which you can only have one of and you may not have two of the same name or generally same effect.

5.) Oh, and if you lose then you will wait 24 hours for a rematch since I don't wish to be haggled for rematches. If you have read the rules, then in your PM put "Gym Battle Time" as your subject and add an emoticon somwhere.

*Please note that failure of following my rules would mean that the battle will immediately end, and I will not give your badge. If it happens again then I will not battle you for 24 hours, and the next time it happens then I will not battle you for 48 hours and it will only double from there.




If you win, you get this Badge!

Soul Bead Gym Badge

Victories!

For those who beat me without losing a single pokemon, the most that I can offer would be a free egg or a free piece of magical invisible pie.

Please PM ME FOR BATTLES! I am not going to be able to come down here to read your battle messages, but I will ask that you read the rules above and please... Don't mess with the rules since they are law around here.


Those who have earned my Badge!!!

Lv. 50 maximum for your pokemon because that is fair. This provides a challenge for people because this is a set limiter and prevents their pokemon from having their stats maxed out. This also tests their ability to handle a situation where they aren't at their maximum ability.


Instead of using free battle and hoping people follow the level cap, you could always just declare the battle to be a Lvl 50/100 Single battle which should automatically set all pokemon from both trainers to lvl 50/100, no matter what their pokemon's current levels are. And as a precautionary measure, you might also want to disallow any other "hax items" like bright powder from being used. Just a thought/tip.

Perphaps i'll come test my mettle yet again and challenge your ghosts one of these days, but at the moment, i'm a bit distracted with breeding/trades and helping a few others improve their battling skills. Best of luck with your battles Sateru. 3nodding

I cannot wait for that moment, Kyrenx-kun. ^_^ You have tested many if not all of the other gyms so it seems like the only certain way to be sure that I am capable as a gym leader by either beating you, or getting a good recommendation from you. I wish the best of luck to you too in your own endeavors.

Very good fight Sateru. You came very close to being the first person to drop my Hadara, kudos! pirate

*bows* Thank you for the battle. I will award you with the Eternal Seven badge for your victory. I will need to rethink on my team and how to counter against those accursed dark types. ^_~ They have been the bane of my team for a while. Maybe I should try to battle the other gyms also... It should give me some insight into how the higher ups prepare, and hopefully give me some ideas.

How's the ghost team coming along? Have you given any thought to how to minimize your Ghost weakness to Dark Types?

Have you tried using a combination of Substitute and Focus Blast as a Dark-type counter or even the use of Colbur Berries to weaken hits? Just a few thoughts for you. pirate
PostPosted: Thu Apr 24, 2008 4:03 pm


Well, I am trying to use Substitute more often now, but I still wonder if I can use a Substitute, Focus Blast, Dream Eater, and Hypnosis for the move set for my Gengar...

I know at the cost of losing a poke, the WoW+Curse Combo can eat away at even the most brawny of pokes (and yes, i've been fiddling with ghost pokes recently xd ). The only problem I see with that moveset for your Gengar is the fact that it lacks a STAB move. I generally like Shadow Ball/Night Shade & Sludge Bomb, though that's probably only because I seem to dislike the inaccuracy of Hypnosis that I try to avoid it if possible (outside of the use of a Hypno of course). But hey, if the Dream Eater + Hynosis combo is your thing, then go for it. pirate

Well, I would have personally loved a Curse, Nightmare, Hypnosis, and toxic. If I could find a pokemon that had shadow tag, then I would be able to not even need Mean look for that reason. My hatred over Hypnosis's short accuracy makes me really befriend the Wide Lens item for it at least increasing the possibility of hitting the opponent. I can see why you would want WoW since it also lowers Attack by a couple of points. So it would kind of dent some Sweepers a little.
