Is kingdra viable on hyper offense teams? Can dragon pulse be used over draco meteor? How are life orb numbers calculated? And can hp fire be viable on kingdra, in both rain and weatherless?
What do you mean by tools? Because if you want to know which amount of speed evs should your "x" pokemon run to outspeed certain threat you can use smogon strategy dex.Are there any tools that help with EV spread efficiency?
I'd argue alakazam and maybe starmie give her a lick of trouble on that list.The purpose is to make Vaporeon a bit of a mixed wall, if I'm analyzing it correctly. It already has base 90 SpDef and that's backed up by base 130 HP. You're already taking a lot of resisted special hits very well (Fire, Water, Ice), but base 60 Def leaves a lot to be desired.
Thanks for the great response, I wish people would give SP def vap a try D:lol at your friend
@rolrctermaniac: the usefulness of physical defense vs special defense depends on the mon. mons like virizion tend to invest in physical defense because water has very few weaknesses and they're almost exclusively special, which means you can take a lot of hits neutrally if you have the bulk - hence the term "bulky water"
EDIT: erm... it's p tough to find specific examples. people could make a 20 page thread about pdef forry vs sdef forry and still wouldn't get anywhere. sdef skarm vs pdef skarm, same thing. sdef celebi vs pdef celebi, same thing. arguably one spread is more "standard" than the other (normally you invest in the defense that your resistances and stats will help the most with - hence heatran is usually sdef, celebi is usually sdef, skarmory/forry are usually physdef), but it's not as if there are no justifications for splitting the defenses a different way. even on pokemon as lopsided as blissey and chansey, there are reasons to invest in special defense (specspumps in rain). i think it would be a careless generalization to say, for a given mon, that investment in a single defense is unarguably superior to investment in the other.
It's propably some database error Meloetta-P also has some parts of Meloettas OU analysis i think someone just messed up a little when they uploaded the Meloetta analysis.What exactly is the reason for Darmanitan-Z to exist in Limbo tier? If it's just to document the base stats, types, and sprite of an alternate form that technically can't be directly put on a team, then why isn't Meloetta-P there also?
They will be official when you see the thread closed. But the results are obvious, there are only 4 participants that didnt vote so it doesnt matter if they choose OU or Ubers. Keldeo is going to OU and Tornadus to Ubers.When will the results of the suspect test be officially implemented?
Yes it is banned and it is now Uber on PSPeople in showdown keep saying tornadus-t got banned from ou, is it?
