  1. Blissey (EV spread discussion)

    While we're discussing alternate EV spreads for Blissey, I think we should also consider the merit of running 88 speed EVs, letting Blissey outspeed 44 Spe Jellicent (the standard physically bulky set) as well as 4 Spe Scizor. This allows Blissey to use Toxic / Flamethrower before the Taunt /...
  2. Tangela (Sub Seed) [QC (0/3)]

    Here's how Tangrowth fares against each of the Scizor sets listed on Smogon: Assume that Tangrowth uses Substitute as Scizor is switched in VS Choice Band Scizor: Tangrowth outspeeds Scizor and deals 76.9 ~ 90.9% with HP Fire. Tangrowth has a chance to OHKO after SR, but even if Scizor...
  3. Tangela (Sub Seed) [QC (0/3)]

    With the EVs I've listed in their respective sets, both Tangela and Tangrowth reach 169 speed, beating CB Scizor by 1 point.
  4. Deoxys-D Fast Spiker [QC (3/3)] [GP 2/2]

    The purpose of Magic Coat is to reflect Taunts and Stealth Rocks. The purpose of Taunt, then, is solely to stop set-up sweepers. Given these purposes, you'd be better off replacing Taunt with Thunder Wave, since Thunder Wave is better at crippling set-up sweepers (Taunt is only better against...
  5. Tangela (Sub Seed) [QC (0/3)]

    Ok I'll be honest. While I do think that Tangela has several advantages that make it viable, I'm really not that adamant about Tangela over Tangrowth because they are both quite capable of running this set effectively. And since Tangrowth > Tangela seems to be the general sentiment, I've decided...
  6. Deoxys-D Fast Spiker [QC (3/3)] [GP 2/2]

    Here's a similar set that I've run for a while: Deoxys-D @ Tanga Berry / Leftovers Trait: Pressure EVs: 252 HP / 140 Def / 116 Spe Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk) - Stealth Rock - Spikes - Thunder Wave - Taunt I think that having both Taunt and Magic Coat on the same set is superfluous, though I can...
  7. Tangela (Sub Seed) [QC (0/3)]

    Also, Tangela has significant surprise value because it is a NFE. When people see a NFE they assume that the Pokemon will not be using moves that deal damage based on one of the attack stats. For example, when people see a Chansey they never expect for it to have an offensive move other than...
  8. Tangela (Sub Seed) [QC (0/3)]

    @ New World Order: If it's just a question of Tangrowth vs. Tangela, then here's my argument. Four points. 1: Tangela is bulkier. You say that however this is an invalid comparison because a Tangrowth with 404 HP / 383 Def can't achieve those stats and have enough speed EVs left over to...
  9. Tangela (Sub Seed) [QC (0/3)]

    http://http://www.smogon.com/bw/pokemon/tangela [SET] name: Sub Seed move 1: Substitute move 2: Leech Seed move 3: Stun Spore move 4: Hidden Power Fire item: Eviolite ability: Regenerator nature: Bold evs: 236 HP / 216 Def / 56 Spe Why this deserves to be on-site Because we all hate...

  12. Jirachi (Specially Defensive)

    Although Scofield's Jirachi seems really effective I think mine has significant advantages: First, Scofield's Jirachi loses to Specs Joleton 100% of the time (well assuming it's not using body slam, which will only paralyze 60% of the time - unreliable) while my Jirachi is a 100% counter...
