How long do these things usually run? I'm attending the VGC in Washington (well, Chantilly really) and I have a train to catch at 5 PM in Union Station.

Finals seem to usually happen between 5PM and 6PM local time.
Well shit. I guess I'll play it by ear and maybe find a different train.
I caught/bred all of mine myself, except for Tornadus which I got from a good friend. I don't trust other people's Pokémon, cloned or not.

Thank you, just what I was looking for :)

Imprison is like an effect move. It will hold as long as the pokemon that used it is in battle and effects all opponent pokemon
Is the skarmbliss po server down or something? I haven't seen it on there in the past few days
ryuzaki has been too busy winning the Texas VGC Masters...
I think so, but your Accelgor would end up using Shadow Ball on Chandelure (which you probably don't want :p)
If it were a Fire attack, though, that would be a more reasonable strategy.
I didn't see Conkeldurr much in Seattle or San Jose... is he still worth a spot on the "main 4," or has the overabundance of genies hurt him that much?
Here's what I was planning on doing with him (pretty standard):
Conkeldurr @ Flame Orb
Guts
Adamant
252 HP, 252 Atk, 4 Spe
-Drain Punch
-Mach Punch
-Rock Slide
-Detect
Someone suggested that I consider investing some EVs in Special Defense since Conkeldurr can already take physical hits well. What is your opinion on this?

Edit Just tested with a friend. apparently you cant target your ally pokemon with me first in doubles. What a shame as that would of been amazing
I have yet to train a team of 5th gen pokemon, so I was wondering where I could find a list and maybe some analyses of what's viable for this VGC tournament?
They're not onsite yet, but this subforum has analyses for every viable Pokemon in VGC 11.
Definitely rebuild it. Timid is the best nature for it. Allows it to outspeed all the genies and launch a Taunt + Tailwind towards them.
yesyesyesyesyesyedyesyesyesyed
Whimsicott needs Timid, or the genies will render it useless.

Thanks guys...re-breeding now. :)
I've had the moveset:
Leech Seed
Encore
Protect
Tailwind
I've been practicing deferent strategies on the Battle Subway (I know...bad me). Would y'all recommend replacing protect with taunt? What I've usually done is let the opponent attempt to set up and just encore the set up move.
