Still nothing after two days? Has the smogon community died off this much?

Man, has it been a long time since I last came here. I got tired of comp Pokémon around the end of 4th gen, but a little while ago I rediscovered my Emerald copy and am currently trying to get all the Gold medals. The team that I've been using so far isn't EV trained and bred, so I decided to...

so, what about the ability changes? Sturdy is now a built-in Focus Sash, Lightningrod is a electric immunity with SAtk boost, anything else?

Some time ago I had this site with which you could quickly check for the type balance of your team by filling in the 6 pokemon the team was built out. You'd just fill their names in and optional ability and it would say to which types your team is weak. Sadly, my pc has crashed and I cant find...

I'm trying to catch a Technician Scyther in the Bug Catching contest in HG, but I've had 6 Swarm Scyther in a row now. Am I just unlucky or is there some other thing influencing this?

I'm pretty much 100% sure that someone who isn't afraid of death doesn't realise what death really means. But I also understand that's pretty easy to say for someone who is terrified about the idea of dying. As a kid I could get into a state of complete panic if I got the circle of thoughts...

Ground doesn't resist Fire, so you have a pretty big Fire weak. Also don't forget that Gravity cancels out the Ground immunity of Flying pokémon, leaving you with 2 pokémon weak to it and nothing to resist it. Sadly the two types that resist Ground (Grass and Bug), are both weak to fire. If...

The one thing in pokémon that I have always enjoyed the most, even more than battling itself, is building a team. I love making teams built on a single idea or strategy, like setting up a specific pokémon or building around a strategy like Trick Room or Gravity, and tweaking and editing my team...

however Zelda/Sheik doesn't force you to switch whenever you get KOd and can actually pull off a transformation without getting mauled. Only being able to transform on the ground is rediculous. And of course the stamina thing is a huge letdown.

I main sheik myself and a lack of killing moves really is a problem. Luckily, Zelda has more than enough finishers. If you can handle both Zelda and Sheik she really becomes an incredible character, especially because they're both so different; Sheik is very offensive while Zelda is more on the...

Yeah, the discussion is getting a bit pointless without the possibility to test things out. I think we should put this idea into the fridge and wait until shoddybattle 2 is released.

You may be right about the lack of steels in UU, but I personally think it's a very big risk. You can't throw everything on the "Counter will handle it"-staple. Poisons are also more common in UU, so you could easily lose your TSpikes, and only using SR won't be enough. I have to admit I...

Stop whining, how should we know what some random other forum thought up? And nobody ever claimed the Aeodactyl set "his set". Claiming you thought up a set is retarded, anyways. Back ontopic: sc4rs, I doubt you can pull off this strategy without Spikes. With only T-Spikes and SR, Steels...

The 3 Assistshufflers all work with insanely high speedlevels. Persian works with 541, Purugly with 532 and Smeargle with 409. Bar some rare Scarfers, there's nothing to fear. Reposting the weaknesslist due to new page: -Hail/Sandstorm: because the Assistshuffling pokémon carries choice scarf...

Pokémon immune to Spikes that resist SR are indeed a huge problem. Even if you would be able to Trick off their Leftovers, it would take 32 turns to take out only one pokémon. To make things even worse, Flygon is mostly Scarfed and will KO Smeargle before he can Destiny Bond it, and Bronzong...
