The New Tandor Casual League 2.0

[keybrdkid09]

I have finished my Evil Theme Team. I am ready to apply.

alright TheGengarKing.

First you will need a Discord account. Once you have one created, find me 'keybrdkid09' on the Uranium Discord. When you are ready to test, I will give you further instructions on Discord.

Also, Crulla and Pokemonerd25. Sorry about the trouble concerning your gym testing. Crulla especially since I have been uncharacteristically bad in keeping our appointments. 

Since you both had issues with testing, here are the issues I mentioned on your respective Discords.

What I want you both to do is the following (TheGengarKing this does not apply to you yet-I still want to do a live testing session with you; but read it anyway): Create a Virtual Trainer using your 6 gym pokemon respectively. Use creative text for introducing the battle to challengers (you will understand what I mean when you create the VT,) as well as creative text for the "losing the battle" and "winning the battle" options. Try to be more creative than 'I win. better luck next time" or "Congrats, you won." Make sure to mention reporting the win on the forums. 

Once you have done this, I will personally battle your VT's. I may elect to have other League members battle them also at their leisure. The idea here is to get an idea of how the AI responds with the moves you have chose. And yes, Crulla, I know your gym is double battle format. Since VT's don't operate using this format that I am aware of, you may have to use the single battle format for this purpose. You may still use the double battle format for any live battles you choose to have. If you are adamant that all your battles be double battles, then you accept that you take on the responsibility of conducting all said battles live. The purpose of the VT's is to reduce time constraints on 
current gym leaders. You will be adding to your workload by choosing the live battle only option.

In the past, we have proven that the AI has difficulty making wise choices when battling by VT means. Therefore, it is in your best interest Gym leaders to carefully examine the movesets you chose and adjust them to better utilize the AI's capabilities. For example, I discovered that status moves are almost never given credence by the AI in VT mode. So even if the most viable move is to use Toxic or similar, the AI will mostly likely not choose that move in any certain situation. So you are basically wasting moves if you add in alot of status moves (now that I think about it Hail/Sandstorm/spikes ect. could very well be included in this problem. I don't know. I'd have to test that or have someone test that.)

If you don't want to run the risk of creating that problem, test your own VT's to see how they respond. Or simply remove all status moves. Its up to you how you solve the problem. But know that it probably will be a problem.

Once I have battled your VT's I will move you onto the next administrative phase of confirmation as a gym leader.
