Is there any chance all ingame Gyms can put their Team on Showdown?

perhaps you should ask them on their topics?

I think there's only two gym leaders wanting to use wifi, and both have said they don't mind using showdown if the challenger can't manage wifi, so they all already are on showdown ^_^

My ground team is actually laddering quite well so watch out!!

I was asking if this could be a set standard.

Since Showdown's a lot easier than actually ingame.

[Liam]

sappy killed my team all my pokémon are dead.

monotypes is hard man

[Sappy]

Second badge done!

Liam you did know you could have had one Pokemon who wasn't Ground right?

[Liam]

Yeah I might go and do that xD

EDIT:

Went and regained some of my dignity by beating Sappy with my normal team! I'm not a bad battler, I promise!!

Do the movesets for the two pokemon that are the same need to remain the same? Say for example, that you catered your team's movesets specifically to play... Richard as an example. Would a challenger have to keep the moveset the same on the two mons, or could they alter it to say, be more suited to battle Liam? Just clarifying now.

Also, if one of your staples is a Mega, if megas are banned in the specific Gym, are you allowed to use something else from your first challenge to compensate, or do you have to stick with the original form of the mega?

[Liam]

One bad play with rapid spin has gone and cost me another game!!

I feel like such a n00b!!

[Richard and Blaziken]

Just earned my first badge after defeating the Electric Gym. This is really fun. But then I caused them to ban Speed Boost Blaziken, so oops. x:

Also, I vote for changing movesets, I'm more than happy to oblige more variety and challenge. I won't go down without a fight! D<

For the first question, I'd say movesets may be altered. Mainly because your original moveset may have been a mono attacker with Electric, and against Liam it would be useless. Until anyone has any major problem with this, then you can change your moveset ^_^

For your second question, this is something I've asked for people's opinions on a page or two back, because I'm really not sure. I'd say, for now, count it as changing the item and so you keep the non-mega pokemon, but may change the item as usual.

One sided monotype is quite tough (unless you're Richard, apparently xD) in fairness, but you'll probably win more when you're used to your team. And when you get a quagsire

[Liam]

I hope so!

I'll spank you all at normal Pokémon though xoxo

Except for Richard. Especially if you decide to be silly and fight him in Blaziken's tier

Wait, leaders can earn badges? Surely we can just have dramatic public battles that attract screaming fangirls fight each other for the sake of it, since you can't defeat yourself.

I got my third badge, beating Hahex 3-0. Good game
