True, but since I did nHKO I thought I might as well add on to your definition (since I also noted that the phrase 1HKO exists and is less frequent). I apologize if that's rude or against the rules.

Term n-0 (where n is any number from 1-6) Explanation: When you defeat your opponent with n pokemon remaining, it is an n-0 Example: My Gyarados just 6-0'd (pronounced "six oh-ed") my opponent's team Reference: Common use (phrase has been published in the Smog)

Term: FEAR Explanation: A level-1 pokemon with a Focus Sash. The pokemon will survive with the Sash and then use the move "Endeavor" to knock the opponent down to 1 HP. Then the FEAR pokemon will use Quick Attack to OHKO the opponent's pokemon. Example: Level-1 Ratattata with Focus Sash...

I have two types of Processes. One that I do if I have a lot of time. The second one if I'm really lazy and want to mess around on Showdown. My ideal Team Building Process: My teambuilding process is different from both of yours. Both of you guys start with a pokemon you want to build the team...

How do I get past hax? My last 3 battles were all lost either to crits or parahax (and this is something that happens a lot to me) and it's starting to get really frustrating. Like out of all the losses on my current alt, 1/3 probably come from hax. I feel like it's due to my play style, but...

Lol, I don't think it's possible to discuss trapping constructively without discussing banning it. It's a very hot button issue, especially in light of recent events (read: Mega Gengar in Ubers) and a lot of people have very strong beliefs on it. But you're right; I'll refrain from discussing...

And here's an interesting point that I feel this tread is touching on. We need to separate discussion of trapping abilities from trappers. Whether or not trapping abilities are uncompetitive has nothing to do with how good/shitty a trapper is; it just delays the discussion. It's possible to have...

With +6 in both def and sp. def Stored Power hits for 240(?) power, so yeah I guess you're right about that. I still stand by my assertion that unless team space is critical, CM Clefable used in conjunction with a physical wall provides much more team utility.

I'm not going to lie: I see the value in CP Clefable, but I think it's very situational. It works if you need it, but most of the time it's inferior to Cm Clefable + a physical wall: Here's the thing about Cosmic Power Clefable: why run it? This may sound like a dumb question but I feel like...

Sorry, but I don't really buy this. If your team benefits from trapping, I really don't think you incur a (significant) disadvantage by "telegraphing your intentions". For example, in BW when you had Genesect and Dugtrio on a team (or Ninetails and Dugtrio) anyone could easily figure out what...

Lucario unfortunately has suffered a lot from this generation. Especially since his mega is banned, I don't think he'll see major OU usage. Does it really? Especially since a lot of teams with Slowbro either carry M-Slowbro or have partners that can deal with Lucario (clefable, Mega-Sableye...

We could do it for fun (like a parody), but yeah if we want this to be serious then you're right; it's best to ditch it.

I thought the idea of the game was to train the player as they go in competitive battling. I don't remember (back when I didn't do competitive battling) waiting around in certain areas for certain times of the day. I just played the game as it came to me. By extension, I don't think we should...

Ehhh, not necessarily. The main draw of Fell Stinger is that you can simultaneously KO and get a +2 boost. A lot of people will not save a near-death pokemon if they see a Mega-Beedrill come in for the revenge kill (especially if they see a U-turn coming. They'd rather just sack someone). So you...

So I missed most of the whole "SwagPlay" suspect testing. Can someone explain to me why Klefki is everywhere? There are a bunch of other Swag-play pokemon to abuse, especially with prankster. Is it its typing? And how the fuck can this Keychain keep up with Mega Rayquaza and Primal Groudon?
