  1. OU Should Snorlax count as Uber in GSC?

    Is it possible to beat Snorlax in a variety of ways? Of course. If it weren't, it probably would have been declared Uber already, and we wouldn't be having this discussion. Does that mean it's not broken? Not necessarily. Just because something can be countered effectively does not mean it's not...
  2. OU Should Snorlax count as Uber in GSC?

    True, that particular ban does work that way, and it would work here too, but like I said, I'd rather keep it simple. Besides, if we specifically ban LK-Drumlax, then it turns out other LK variants are still a problem, we end up having to change the ban to the simpler one anyway. Of course...
  3. OU Should Snorlax count as Uber in GSC?

    For the record, of the courses of action suggested in Borat's article above, I would most support banning LK-lax, even if LK-Drumlax is the only version that's the real problem. Why? Well, I believe that any ban should be as simple as possible while still covering the need. "You cannot have...
  4. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer. (RoA Version + resource links)

    This may be a stupid question, but... can somebody direct me to a reasonably accurate damage calculator for GSC?
  5. OU Should Snorlax count as Uber in GSC?

    I asked for an example of an effective team that not only doesn't, but shouldn't run Snorlax. Perhaps I should have specified "and doesn't run Ubers", but hey, I got what I asked for. I would be interested to see an example that does meet all three conditions, though. I may be able to respond...
  6. OU Should Snorlax count as Uber in GSC?

    Just to clarify, I said "I wouldn't make that statement." I never said the statement was false. Basically, if I were building a team, and were considering Celebi, I would not be considering it for the same slot as Snorlax. 'Course, that doesn't mean I wasn't wrong. In any case, thanks for the...
  7. OU Should Snorlax count as Uber in GSC?

    Out of curiosity, Borat, I'd like to see 1 or 2 examples of good teams that don't/shouldn't use Snorlax. Even if there are good teams that don't use Snorlax, though, the fact that it is used in the vast majority of successful GSC teams means that the "staple" analogy still holds. Of course...
  8. A Bone to Pick -- Skulloton discussion

    And, yet another useful combo being added to the top post.
  9. A Bone to Pick -- Skulloton discussion

    Added information to the top post. Among other things, I covered the throw, the ability, Bullet Punch, 5ABAC, and some more combos.
  10. OU Should Snorlax count as Uber in GSC?

    I meant move-type. I should have been more specific; you're right, as a Pokemon type, it's very good, due to its two immunities (and the fact that, while it only has two fully-evolved Pokemon, both have the stats and movesets to be VERY good). As for Fighting, well, I'll agree with you there...
  11. OU Should Snorlax count as Uber in GSC?

    You want a better argument? Well, then, let's see if I can argue my case more competently. For the record, while I did give stats a lot of "time" in that post, I really didn't intend to have them be the entirety, or even the bulk, of the argument. I had some idea what I wanted to say, I'm just...
  12. A Bone to Pick -- Skulloton discussion

    Just based on a bit of observation in Training, I can see why the 5ABAC > 5C > A-Bonemerang combo is a good one. As a side note, it works off of a jump-in C, and a jumping C can also be added in between the 5ABAC and the 5C. EDIT: Also, some more information not yet in the top post (I'll...
  13. OU Should Snorlax count as Uber in GSC?

    We all know that Snorlax has pretty much defined the GSC metagame since its inception. With that being the case, should GSC do to Snorlax what some future generations have done to certain other metagame-warping Pokemon, and count Snorlax as an Uber as opposed to an OU? Is this a bit pointless...
  14. Gen 2 I need help with my competitive team

    Fair warning: I'm not exactly great at GSC. First off, what you heard about being female lowering Attack in GSC is more-or-less true; the gender for any species that can be both genders is determined directly by the Attack DV, with the higher Attack DV's being male. However, Attract isn't too...
  15. A Bone to Pick -- Skulloton discussion

    The closest thing this game has to a "secret character", Skulloton is... pretty interesting, to say the least. While I've only just started playing this game at all in the last few days, and had very little time to learn much of anybody, Skulloton is rapidly seeming like a good match for me...
