Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Yeah, everything new is fairly slow, so I am seeing mixed palkia and garchomp getting hugely popular. I guess rayquaza and ho-oh will also get better with less SR abuse, though you will still have to carry around a useless forre.
I'm not going to be able to attend your tournament ( though I really wanted to :/ ) aas it is fathers day in brazil (where I live) and I'm going out to dinner with him. Sorry if this caused any problems for you. I hope to be on the next one, this time to finish that battle from the mono tourney!
