Cnor, battle? I haven't battled u before.

My team on my diamond is nowhere near ready 

Next week it will be ready, hopefully. 

Training Castform now.

I've got one of those 

Emerald FTW

Does anyone think is stupid that Jolteon can't learn ThunderBolt while leveling up? I have a Jolteon on my in-game team and I'm stuck with Thunder on my Jolteon which kinda sucks with how low Thunder's accuracy is. But, I taught Jolteon Rain Dance which kinda helps, but not when you have to use it just to kill a simple water type Pokemon or Flying. It wouldn't be a problem if you got TM 24 realtivly early in the game but no. I think TM 24 is ThunderBolt. Well you get ThunderBolt in Cerulean Cave so late in the game...It's just ugh.

Thunder+rain dance is better than thunderbolt IMO for the following reasons:
thunder in rain has perfect accuracy.
Thunder in rain has a boosted base power
thunder in rain can BREAK THROUGH PROTECT.

lolz galore,

anyone who has shoddy battle want a match?

Where did you see that?

Off Smogon:

Has a 30% chance to paralyze the target. Cannot miss in rain, but is only 50% accurate in sun. In Diamond and Pearl versions, if it is raining, Thunder can hit through Detect and Protect 30% of the time. In Platinum and Pokémon Battle Revolution, a successful execution of Protect or Detect will always block Thunder even if it is raining.

What do you mean? That's the actual probability of Thunder + Rain Dance breaking through Protect. However, it's only in D/P and before.

I know now i was just wondering where you found that out,

This is my Jolteon's moveset right now. (BTW, I haven't finished Heart Gold. Well I have, I'm beating it for a second time. And I'm at Victory Road.)
Thunder  Rain Dance
Quick Attack   ThunderFang

I know thunderfang's physical and wont do much but this Jolteon's only for in game.

Monotype team? What's that? And is double okay?

Monotype - Pretty much like a gym leader's team, All of one type?
Double... I've always played single and this team is for single XD But I can try double?

Mhmm...

2107 0910 4238. I'm going to try out my new Monotype team lol.

To be clear: This is standard?
