  • Competitors may sync their Pokemon's Levels down in their send-in message, as needed, to stay within this limit.

Sending out Blastoise with Blastoisinite.

 

[cityscapes]

mega blastoise! if only we had a counter!

no comment.

Switching to Zekrom @ Choice Band.
Fusion Bolt ~ Fusion Bolt ~ Fusion Bolt
If Blastoise is to use a Physical-returning attack, then use Thunderbolt the first two instances and Protect the third instance.
If Blastoise is to use Hyper Beam in a combination, then use Protect.

Oh no how could there possibly be a counter!
