Well, it doesn't seem like anyone here plays pokemon B/W competitively. But if you do or are interested in learning how to, then just ask. More people should see how truly fierce pokemon can be when played strategically.

I play competitive, but the interest here seems rather low. My team is at perfect IVs and EVs for my most wanted stats so they can hold out nicely against a large variety of teams (including Ice ones)

Wow nice to see a fellow competitive player here. I didn't expect many but its still cool.

I assume you play single battles? I used to play a ton of single battle in gen 4 but recently have been playing more doubles as that is whats being used in the video game championships.

I participated in the VGCs last year, got up to round 3 with the team I made but the competition was pretty fierce. Couldn'g go this year but hopefully next time. Its a lot easier now in B/W to abuse the RNG to get near perfect IV combinations but I have yet to indulge much in the matter. So yea when I did breed last time (which was quite a while back) the pokies had some pretty nice IVs.

Both singles and doubles, but I have a higher proficiency for singles (my team's moveset is tailored more for singles on B/W). Still, there are some combinations that I can pull in Doubles (especially with Garchomp and Salamence as my starters), as I tried to cover every field possible with my team.

I didn't abuse RNG for perfect IVs on B/W mostly because I found that breedng is a heck of a lot "faster" and you don't have to indulge too much time into it (the Skyarrow bridge is a god-send from Game Freak for breeding&hatching). It still takes a lot of hours to pull out a decent IV/Nature combo, but it's worth it. Haven't yet participated on the VGCs this gen, mostly because due to a lack of time, but I did participate a lot on smogon on past gens (especially early 4th gen, Pearl mostly).
