  1. (Archive) Pokemon Database Errors Thread

    Ah! I was not aware that this was something exclusive to Platinum. My bad.
  2. Not-Fully-Evolved 'mons in UU/NU

    For some reason, it completely escaped my notice that Sneasel could get Bite. I feel a bit silly now. :D On another note, there was something I had wanted to get some opinions on. I've been trying to work out a good defensive Dusclops set for use in NU, and its attack is too low to just treat...
  3. Not-Fully-Evolved 'mons in UU/NU

    I've been experimenting a bit with Swords Dance Sneasel in NU, and I've found it to be surprisingly potent. If you can manage to get a Dance off, it can manage a perfectly respectable sweep, and it'll outrun almost anything that isn't packing a scarf. Screen support doesn't hurt. The fact that...
  4. (Archive) Pokemon Database Errors Thread

    Victreebel's page completely neglects to mention that it learns Leaf Blade. It even calls Razor Leaf its best physical STAB move.
  5. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 18 (READ THE OP)

    Ability Determination When a pokemon has two possible abilities, is what ability it's born with determined at conception or birth? Or to put it another way, is what ability it has locked in as soon as you receive the egg, or can you save right before hatching and reload to try and get the one...
  6. Should Dusclops be UU?

    Dusknoir is great, everyone knows that, and Dusclops got a not insignificant amount of play in the previous generation. And today, he still gets a decent amount of play in UU and NU. As a thread I previously started demonstrates, he's one of the NFE 'mons who remains viable. But is he more than...
  7. Not-Fully-Evolved 'mons in UU/NU

    Certain NFE 'mons have strategy listings in the archives, like Chansey, Scyther and Pikachu, to name a few. But there are many others who may be viable. I've seen Dusclops get quite a bit of play on the lower tiers of Shoddybattle, and Rhydon has quite a bit of potential too. But there's...
  8. Fan-made pokes of unknown origin

    I'd call some of the other type choices questionable too. Am I the only one that noticed that the Fire starter has no super-effective STAB moves on the Grass starter? In any case, thanks for the identify. :)
  9. Fan-made pokes of unknown origin

    Nobody anywhere I've looked seems to know anyone about these. This is really bugging me. Pretty sure they didn't just spring fully-formed from the collective head of the internet.
  10. Fan-made pokes of unknown origin

    So I found this on an imageboard earlier. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?uqwldnmklyz (Pardon the usage of MediaFire. It's a huge picture, and none of the standard image-hosting sites I tried can host it without resizing it.) While the level of creativity and balance is highly variable...
  11. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 16

    Smogon's own database says that the King's Rock gives moves "without a secondary effect" a chance to flinch. What constitutes a secondary effect for the purposes of a move? I assume that something like a status ailment or a stat change counts, but does it have to be a completely "vanilla" move...
  12. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 16

    I'm trying Sharpedo in a UU team. I want to give it an ice move. Should I use Ice Fang or Avalanche?
  13. Anyone else having problems with ShoddyBattle?

    When I log on, all the severs are gone except for the official one, which is at "150/100" capacity. It should go without saying that I can't connect to it. Is it down like this for everyone, or is it just a localized problem on my end?
  14. Grass Knot or Energy Ball?

    I see. Well, pardon my ignorance, and thank you for the prompt replies. :)
  15. Grass Knot or Energy Ball?

    Both are seen as very viable moves for any Grass-type that needs a good STABby punch. But which do you all prefer? Grass Knot is potentially stronger, and has a lot more PP, and a lot of the things that grass is typically used to do away with, like rock and ground types, are pretty heavy. On...
