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.
Hiya, I am GMT -5 as well. To be honest, I'm still getting a hang of this singles thing (lucky for you :d) but this weekend would be ideal - I should be free during the day on Saturday if that works.
hiya, we are matched up for the yin-yang tourney. i am EST and free most days from 7-11 PM. let me know what times work for you so we can get this done. :)
IMO the Hypno usage isn't too unheard of, especially considering that a lot of participants in this tournament are not too accustomed to the VGC rules. What often comes to mind is, "No Sleep Clause?!" There are several ways to fight against it, but Hypno is the only mon who can passively counter...

- Amoonguss is hit hard by Ice...
