New Battles

I recently started battling again, this time with a friend I haven't seen for awhile. We organized a late night wi-fi double battle, 4 Pokemon, level 30 - expanded Sinnoh dex.

I got crushed, his 3 matches to my one. We swapped out Pokemon between matches - I stayed away from my favorite Weavile, as he was running it consistently. He had some killer Pokemon - Drapion, Gliscor, Blissey, and Scizor, to name a few. (His Umbreon was a tank!)

My Sunny Day team didn't get off the ground - Weavile's Ice moves wrecked shop on all the Grass Pokemon. I figure I need to get a fast Fire-type to get Sunny Day started. That's some good feedback, at least.

Double battle is tough - you don't have time for a lot of tricks, because you have two Pokemon threatening to double team your set-up. My only win came from using my better Pokemon from an earlier tournament, and my opponent using a 'B' team. My next post, I'll cover my new Pokemon team, for the rematch!
