I mean if you want to put your EVs in attack/special attack instead of HP you can do that. The point is that with the same number of EVs in attack or special attack an iron plate judgement will do more to MMence than a corkscrew crash

CM steelceus has been a decent MMence and Xerneas check in my experience. Unboosted Judgement does more damage than a Corkscrew crash against MMence and you can use it more than once so I don't know why you'd think the SD set checks it better. 4 Atk Arceus-Steel Corkscrew Crash (160 BP) vs. 44...

What I meant by z-crystal iron head was iron head where your hold item is a z-crystal but you're not using the z-move. I know other arceus forms could do similar sets but I don't think there's any other type that could fill all the roles that arceus steel does on my team. And I don't think his...

Ho-oh weakness is a real issue but the rest of my team deals with it well and if you can keep stealth rock on the field Ho-oh won't last too long. And I don't know what you mean by you "have to" use Giratina-O. I don't use him or any other defoggers. I just had this battle...

I think you need to see it in action before you can say that. CM brings a lot of things to the table. First off iron plate judgement hits 120 base power a full 50% stronger than Z-crystal iron head. The CM special defense boosts let you turn a lot of pokemon into set up fodder, yveltal, palkia...

I'm gonna repost this since it got ignored last time. I'm back at #1 on the ladder and steel arceus has been a huge contributor to my team. There is no way he belongs in C rank. I would probably put him at A rank if I was in charge but if not that he deserves at least B rank. Steel typing isn't...

I think steel Arceus should be at least B rank. CM steel arceus is really good this set in particular arceus-steel 252hp 4spa atk 252 spe calm mind recover judgement earth power helped me get to #1 on the ladder recently and it swept tons of teams. This guy has so many opportunities to set...

Rhyperior needs to have speed as an option in addition to special defense. I've been using swords dance rhyperior in the speed slot of my deoxys a team and he has been performing wonderfully. Cleans up a ton of stuff and his physical bulk plus resistance to normal/flying means he can take...

I didn't see this on the first page and no one answered me in the simple question simple answer thread. What is the proper interaction when a pokemon holding a life orb attacks into a pokemon holding a red card. On showdown the life orb recoil did not occur. This was unexpected to me so I was...

Stronglifts is a legit routine and its probably better to start with than a split routine because you can make faster progress.

Very few things can be known with certainty however that does not mean very few things can be known. The concept pf probability allows us to define the relative likelihood of different claims. Science is based on provability. What we really mean when we say that something is scientifically true...

The difference is that theologians are not the only ones who study the question "does god exist?" Philosophers also study this question and the majority of philosophers are atheists. Did you read my earlier reply? Also, there is no reason to be mean to x5dragon, his position is wrong but we...

They may have differing opinions about the specifics but almost all, 99.85%, of scientists studying relevant topics agree with the general theory of evolution. http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CA/CA111.html

The majority of theologians believe in god because one who does not believe in god is not likely to identify as a theologian. There are plenty of philosophers and philosophers of religion who do not believe in god. In fact the majority, 72.8% of philosophers do not believe in god...

The evolutionary explanation for this would be as follows. I will use the example of an ERV shared by dogs and humans but not chimpanzees. The ERV originated in a species that is a common ancestor of both dogs and humans, since chimps are closer to humans than dog this will also be an ancestor...
