Battle Royal Strategies: Eevee
I have a few more analyses for Battle Royal that I never got around to posting, so I'll throw them here over time. Eevee is one of my favorites, and while not as spammable as Smeargle, it's much more consistent and can take Fighting types better. Plus it pairs well with Ninetales. GO FOXES!
Overview
Eevee is shockingly powerful, even compared to most NFEs like Magneton, Scyther and Rhydon. While its base stats aren’t much better than Smeargle’s, access to both Adaptability and its signature move Extreme Evoboost grants it enough hitting power – both physically and specially with Stored Power – that Eevee can wipe the

Battle Royal Strategies: Porygon2
If you look at news reports on Battle Royal from people like IGN, you'll see that they strongly advise against tanks and defensive Pokemon. I heartily disagree. If you have a decent number of KOs - three or more - and want to endure until the end of the match, tanks like Porygon2 are a godsend because of their ability to shrug off damage and status. They may not be perfect in every scenario, but that's why you pair them with sweepers and wallbreakers.
Porygon2
Porygon2 may lack the raw attack power of Porygon-Z, but it makes up for that with access to Eviolite and excellent overall bulk, letting it function as a mixed wall. Coverage in Psyc
Battle Royal Strategies: Kingdra
I've always had a soft spot for dragons, and Kingdra is no exception. A pity it can't learn more Fire type moves, but it's still pretty badass. And it's just thirty points away from being pseudo-legendary class....
Kingdra
Thanks to a phenomenal balance of stats, a great overall typing, and access to two useful abilities in Swift Swim and Sniper, Kingdra can function as either a bulky sweeper or wallbreaker. Scope Lens and Focus Energy in tandem with Sniper lets Kingdra completely ignore changes to anyone's stats to dish out punishment, or it can combine the speed boost with Swift Swim with the increase in Water power from rain to sweep thr
Battle Royal Strategies: Slaking
Slaking would be fucking AMAZING if it wasn't a lazy-ass. Not that I'm one to talk, though...and it DOES have some powerful stats.
Slaking
Long story short, any usefulness Slaking could bring to a team is completely overshadowed by its ability Truant, which effectively makes it a sitting duck every other turn. If you’re lucky enough to switch into a Carbink with Skill Swap, however, Slaking becomes a powerful sweeper capable of clearing out everything weak to its coverage moves, courtesy of its decent Speed and monstrous Attack stats. However, so long as Slaking has Truant, you’re better off using other Normal types like Stoutla
Battle Royal Strategies: Pikachu
At some point, I wanted to get to Pikachu, but I knew it'd be a bad idea since its stats are le suck except for Speed. Howerer, seven rounds and four Z-Geomancy boosts later, I have reassessed my opinion! It's usable - barely.
Overview
Pikachu has the lowest base stats of all viable unused Pokemon in BR, and it shows with poor offenses, less than average HP, bad defenses and a terrible defensive typing. On the other hand, a usable Speed stat ensures it can keep up with quite a few heavy hitters, and access to its signature Light Ball grants it surprising wallbreaking potential that can power through bulkier threats like Walrein, Hippowdon a
Battle Royal Strategies: Rhydon
I never really took stock of Rock/Ground types since they had such crippling weaknesses, but Rhydon's actually got some potential in BR. Well, so long as there's a raging sandstorm.
Overview
While Rhyperior has better raw power and natural bulk, Rhydon has better overall bulk thanks to its access to Eviolite as well as nearly the same moveset without the restrictions of a Berry or the Assault Vest. This allows it to run either a Stealth Rock set with maximum defensive investment, or a physically offensive set with maximum Attack investment and an Adamant nature. That said, it still suffers from the same weaknesses as Rhyperior, namely a dou
Battle Royal Strategies: Chansey
I'm normally a reckless player in BR, but having a healer like Chansey is a blessing more often than not. That said, it's basically a regenerating meat shield, so it's not meant for attacking. Anyway, this is what I've found:
Overview
While Chansey has a lower Special Attack than Blissey, it has arguably better bulk thanks to its access to Eviolite, making it a sturdier cleric and mixed wall. A colossal HP stat combined with Natural Cure, Softboiled and Heal Bell makes it nearly impossible to take down for any Pokémon not typically used on a hyper offensive team, with the added bonus of patching up your own team in a prolonged match.

Strawberry Soul PROLOGUE
Aoi Nagisa sighed, turning a page in her French textbook without interest.
For a month, the entire school had been buzzing with exciting news; The Head Mistress had announced the approval of a seventh year to the school. Though she didn't reveal all of the details, she did announce that she would be leaving on official business regarding the decision. After she left, someone started (and as it seemed to Nagisa, fueled) an argument over who should hold the position of Etoile. Many have demanded that the current Etoile, Shizuma, Nagisa's new girlfriend, remain as Etoile. Others have argued hotly that the new couple, Hikari and Amane, sho
Strawberry Soul Chapter 1
Finally making it to her dorm room, Aoi Naigsa didn't even bother to undress as she fell face first onto her bed, exhausted and worried.
She realizes now that attending the Student Council meeting with her girlfriend, Hanazono Shizuma, was a bad idea. The moment they entered the meeting room, all but Rokujou-sama and Lulim's council gave her hard, cold stares. She had blushed furiously with embarrassment, but remained the entire time. Poorly thought, as she laid witness to a blazing row between Miator's and Spica's Student Council presidents.
The question, "Who will be Etoile?", was the main subject - or rather, the point of this m
Strawberry Soul Chapter 2
"So, that's why you were gone for so long?" Tamao asked with interest.
"Yeah," Nagisa said. The two were eating lunch together, along with Hikari, Chiyo, Yaya, and Tsubomi. All of her friends showed considerable interest in the "mystery boy" Nagisa found, and were curious at the letter he supposedly sent her.
"Maybe he's an angel!" Chiyo exclaimed.
"Shh!" They hushed. Fortunately, no one else was paying them much attention.
"Don't be silly, Chiyo," Tsubomi said, "Most likely, that boy is some sort of renegade or criminal. That'd explain how he knows Nagisa-san and Shizuma-sama."
"But, that doesn't explain how his eyes a
Strawberry Soul Chapter 3
"A-angel?" Nagisa said, grabbing Shizuma's arm. The boy was smiling warmly, as though he knew them as friends, but she couldn't help feeling a little scared.
"Yes," he replied. His smile faded somewhat, and he got down on one knee, saying, "And I must apologize for my probing, but I was very curious about you. And why your friends came along when I asked for Hanazono Shizuma."
Shizuma, after a brief glance at her love, said, "Probing? What do you mean?"
The boy got back up, smiling again. "I used Spirit to brush against your minds, and your memories. No offense, but I had to confirm it."
"Confirm what?"
His smile faded
Strawberry Soul Chapter 4
The morning came bright and warm, and Nagisa was still savoring the newest blessing she received.
Yesterday, she and Shizuma had spent almost the rest of the day together, marveling at their new soulbond, and wondering what it would be like when they finish the bond. Of course, they still had questions, but Michael, the angel who had blessed them, didn't leave them with any means to contact him.
It was an hour before dusk when they decided to head back in. They barely reached the antechamber when Rokujo walked towards them, looking very bad tempered. She said to Nagisa, "Shizuma has work to do, so please return to your room." and d
Strawberry Soul Chapter 6
Michael gazed skyward, eyes and hands glowing with lavender Spirit, his expression calm, almost detached. Beside him, growing impatient, Sheena's own glowed with a subtle mix of lavender Spirit and silvery white Air, but while he looked upward, she was examining the trees, her eyes slightly narrowed as if searching for something. After several moments, her glow faded, and she turned to Michael, one hand on her hip.
"Forget it," she said, "They're not here, yet. I can't even sense their presence."
Michael sighed. "Sheena, I can sense them. You can't because your power is not fully develop
Strawberry Soul Chapter 9
Over the week, Nagisa spent a little more attention to everything around her, noting people, places, and things. More than once, she saw something strange, and wove her findings to Michael. But insofar as she knew, nothing was terribly out of the ordinary.
Except for two Spicans.
Momomi and Kaname, vice president and secretary of the Spica Student Council, seemed to be happier than usual. Whenever they looked directly into Nagisa's eyes, she couldn't help but shiver a little; a strange darkness had crept into their own eyes, and they were more cunning than usual, even during council meetings, according to Tsubomi.
