Let's stop it with the negativity, alright? March is a really busy month for almost everyone. I know I personally have midterms this week and I'd imagine that everyone else is pretty swamped too.

There are a handful of them that are usually considered good enough to use in their un-evolved state and they are as follows: Pikachu, Clamperl, Haunter, Kadabra, Rhydon, Dusclops, Electabuzz, Magmar, Magneton, Gligar, and Sneasel.

It would seem that this addition has sealed Purugly's fate--Persian is the new Purugly. Now the question is: Will we see Persian leads everywhere? The original Purugly lead set was Fake Out/Taunt/Hypnosis/U-Turn with Return sometimes going over U-Turn. Persian can run the same exact set but with even better stats. In fact, Persian is now the fastest Pokemon in our tier! The other question ...

I've got the first draft of my first team for the March-April09 rotation, and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a match on SHODDY? 6v6, Singles (I think this goes without say, though), with pretty standard clauses- Sleep, Species, OHKO, and Evasion.

See you soon. ]]> Battle and Trade Requests Tue, 03 Mar 2009 23:32:31 GMT http://nuforum.forumotion.net/battle-and-trade-requests-f7/looking-for-a-match-t28.htm#38 http://nuforum.forumotion.net/battle-and-trade-requests-f7/looking-for-a-match-t28.htm http://nuforum.forumotion.net/nu-ladder-f8/looking-for-nu-ladder-battles-post-here-t18.htm Sasami This is a thread to post in if you're looking for an NU Ladder battle.
