Can someone recommend a good team for a local tournament that I can get by Saturday?
Also, Don't focus on IVS and EVS please.

Not focusing on IVs is okay, but not focusing on EVs? Who are you battling, your 7 year-old brother?
With nature multipliers not factored in, a 0 IV and 0 EVs will short you by 94 stat points compared to 31 and 252 respectively!
Start at http://www.smogon.com/. Oh, and http://www.pokecheck.org/. Just make sure you use http://www.pokegts.u...Distribute.aspx to send it to your game, not Pokecheck's built-in one.
Sorry, trying to say that I'm trying not to focus on them, thanks for the links.

My team has always been:
ShinyLatios, Dragonite, Blaziken, Breloom, Scizor and Vaporeon

They work wonders for me.

Sorry, I'm a bit scared of the shiny Latios. I should know, I have a great Latios that has destroyed teams!

With milotic, replace the hydro pump with something else. It's accuracy is only 80% compared to surfs 100%.

I HIGHLY recommend lurking here and possibly making an account. http://www.smogon.co...splay.php?f=127 They provide much help for VGC. Also, you can get your team rated and get professional help here. http://www.smogon.co...id=rmt_mode_vgc Here are some commonly used VGC 2012 ruleset Pokemon sets. http://www.smogon.co...splay.php?f=162
Some commonly used good Pokemon are Latios, Zapdos, Hitmontop, Scizor, Garchomp, Chandelure, Tyranitar, Ludicolo, Politoed, Thundurus, Metagross, Rotom-Wash, Abomasnow, Toxicroak, Gastrodon and Cresselia
If you need some training and overall helpful practice, download Pokemon Online (http://pokemon-online.eu/download) and go to the Skarmbliss VGC server there.

Give me a quick suggestion, because hydro pump has saved me a lot over the years an it isn't going without a fight.

I suggest either rain dance (Increase water based moves power by 50%) or safeguard (prevents status effects for five turns)

Last one: Should Milotic have a Damp Stone or keep the Mystic Water?

There is no such item as a damp stone. What you are referring to is a damp rock, which increases rain dance effect to 8 turns from 5. Mystic Water boosts water type moves by 20%.

You can either have surf at 70% extra power with mystic water for 5 turns or you can have surf at 50% extra power for 8 turns with damp rock. Your choice.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
