Both good points. I'll take this into consideration and do some more playtesting to see if I can get around Mamo reliably or not. If not...I may need to do some switching around...

mamoswine is dangerous, but not seriously threatening. he can't realistically get past politoed and ferrothorn, and he's slower than tentacruel and hates taking rain boosted scalds. i still haven't done enough playtesting to be sure, but if i have significant trouble against mamo, i could always...

The Abyss Awaits You... So back in October or so, I just lost interest in battling for several months after my rating was erased when the PS! server was DDOS'd, for those that remember it. I got the urge to give battling a try again in the past couple months and have dabbled in various...

Why do people keep saying that genesect was #5 in usage? That's only for the three months period, it was #3 in September, ahead of Scizor, thank you very much. What really surprises me is that Ferrothorn is #2. All I hear about is how fast-paced and offensive the meta-game is, and yet here we...

you know, as annoying as sun and sand can be to face, i'm just plain sick of rain. whether it's ferrothorn that won't die unless you have really powerful fighting STAB or a REALLY powerful fire attack (again, preferably STAB), tentacruel protect stalling you endlessly, tornadus-t spamming...

Ok, ok, dumb mistake on my part...Rotom-H is not good against rain. Okay, first of all, you shouldn't be running life orb on Rotom-H...choice scarf is its most useful set. Also, the idea isn't that you necessarily straight-up OHKO Genesect, but that you force it out without it doing anything...

Yeah, Rotom-H is great against Sun and Rain, but the best reason to use him is the whole 'hard counter to Genesect' thing. The best Genesect can do is a CB Explosion, in which case he'd still be outsped and OHKO'd by scarf Overheat. I also find that if you get stealth rock and a layer of spikes...

To be fair, Rotom-H laughs at pretty much everything Genesect can attempt to do to it, can OHKO it with STAB overheat, and isn't afraid of dugtrio either. In addition, it has an absolutely fantastic set of resists (immune to ground, resists boltbeam, fire, grass, bug, steel, flying) that allow...

Yeah, I was also going to suggest that Lando-I getting Sheer Force is probably cutting into Lando-T's usage. Sheer Force Lando-I is pretty awesome. Lando-T does have some neat utility with Intimidate though, and that massive attack stat is nothing to sneeze at.

Well, it sucks to have to get my rating back up when I was so. Damn. Close. But it's not the fault of smogon, it's the fault of the douchebag who DDOS'd the server. Of course, now I probably won't even get close, but I'll try my hardest. :) In response to what others have said, I think that this...

Scarf moxie mence is just about the best late game cleaner you could ask for, and he can run both fire blast a earthquake to deal with steel types (and should). Besides his vulnerability to mamo and weavile, he really needs to take something out right away to get his momentum going...if you can...

I was wondering this myself. I was really close to making voting requirements before PS! went down, so I (and I'm sure others who are in the same boat) would certainly appreciate an extension to make up for lost time.

Noticing that PS! has been down for most of the day, I was wondering if maybe there was a way on the PS! forum here to indicate when it's down, why it's down (if you know/are willing to explain) and when you're expecting it to be back up. I think this kind of information would be very helpful if...

You use Magnezone for its intended purpose: eliminating certain troublesome steel types to more easily facilitate a dragon sweep (or something along those lines that hates certain steel types). If you're trying to use it for something else, you're using it incorrectly, and you're better off...
