Thanks, I'll try a ballon tran, probably with a different stat spread, cuz i want all my offensive pokes to be able to run with a shell smash, and heatran doesn't outspeed much with no investment, even at +2. I never smash pass to Nidoking if Chansey is still alive. I actually considered...

hi there, i'm jorba, and i ladder either under the name "jorba" or my alt, "happy ham." it's my current goal to get on page 1 of the smogon leaderboards for the first time in my career. hovered around the top 100, but i've never maintained a steady enough team to really ladder much. back in...

I've been running a variant of this team on the ladder with rank instead of latias, and it's been doing wonders. it's seriously a high quality team with great synergy. I've considered switching out any of the members, especially after feeling guilty because my team is so similar to yours, but...

I just watched the Royal Tenenbaums. It's absolutely fantastic, if a little twee. Luke Wilson has perhaps the greatest beard known to man, and then he shaves it off and cuts his wrist and makes out with his sister, so there's that.

I never said I hated the misuse of the word "it's." it's way less idiotic than people who use apostrophes on plural words. I relax my rules for rage-induced capitals. obviously i wasn't in a stable state of mind, and therefore couldn't regulate my usage of "it's"

I have that same bulbasaur plushie, along with a snorlax, a charizard, a jigglypuff, and a clefairy. I used to sleep with 4 of them arranged at each corner of my pillow and cuddling the remainder. I am a man.

welcome to the entire internet.

grammar nazis annoy me. that being said, i fucking hate anyone who puts an apostrophe after the S when a word it plural. "go get the plate's" NO FUCK YOU ITS MULTIPLE PLATES. I AM NOT GETTING AN OBJECT THAT BELONGS TO A PLATE.

This team is the one I plan on using in my quest to reach 1500 rating to vote in the suspect tests. I was pretty close to 1400 last time, and I plan on grinding my way to 1500 this time. I figured I should shore up a solid, reliable team that counters both major weather types, so that’s what I...

There's one major problem with that strategy. let's see if we can identify it getting warmer .. warmer .. there we go [edit: ninja'd. also, he changed it to "feint" while i was posting.]

I'm running a defensive spread with Sub, Protect, t-wave and Surf. Paralysis works best for me because it makes it even less likely octy will get hit at all, giving him more boosts. t-wave + evasion is a freaking bitch. Burungeru walls it, but that's what team support is for.

I have been underwhelmed by Darkrai.. Yes, sleep is a lot more annoying now, but it's not gamebreaking, in that you don't have to drastically alter your team to the extent that the quality of play is impeded to counter it. just have a status absorber. Geez. I use protect flame orb roobushin...

Damn you. that and with damn bulky mence make me cry.

After being raped by panamaxis using a wish passing xatu like 6 times on the PO ladders, I fully encourage and support this pokemon. it just destroys stall like nothing else because not only does it block entry hazards, it also creates the need for the other team to use their spinner to remove...

Which is why a decent grass/water would be great. ludicolo would be a boss if it didin't have suckpot stats. water makes it neutral against ice and fire, preserves its ground resist, at the price of a neutrality to electric and a neutrality to grass.
