  1. NP: UU - Bye Bye Bye

    Espeon draws Chansey and Clefable out, but can it beat them? Actually, Zam could actually be the lure with Calm Mind and either Taunt/Encore/Recover to set up on Chansey and Clefable. The idea of having two extremely frail sweepers of the same typing severely limits your team though, which...
  2. NP: UU - Bye Bye Bye

    Yeah that's true. I was kind of thinking that Mismagius could switch in on Chansey, start setting up, and attempt to take out the opposing team. It's not exactly a lure, but they have good synergy at least. And many teams rely on Registeel as the initial switch in to Alakazam because of its...
  3. NP: UU - Bye Bye Bye

    Exactly what I was going to say Delko. Mismagius is a great lure for Zam's counters. Dark types can be messed around by Mismagius because of Substitute, Chansey can't touch Missy with Substitute or Taunt and a boosting move, and Registeel always takes a few turns to KO Mismagius, allowing you...
  4. NP: UU - Bye Bye Bye

    I've been using a Grass Knot Uxie to reliably take on Rhyperior, and it's definitely a great switch in to almost any Rhyperior set. The most common ones I see are Rock Polishers, who only do about 65% with a Jolly Life Orb Megahorn, and Substitute users, who do even less. Grass Knot on Uxie is...
  5. 2010 Music Festivals (Traveling and Sationary)

    Yeah, we all took care of our schoolwork the week before Coachella. The entire trip altogether averaged about $450 for one person, and that includes all the food costs of all three days, merchandise, ticket, gas, whatever. The techno/trance acts were everywhere that weekend! Tiesto, who got...
  6. 2010 Music Festivals (Traveling and Sationary)

    Being a Coachella veteran myself, with 2010 being my fourth year, I can say that it is definitely one of the most amazingly surreal music experiences in your life. What sets it apart from most other music festivals is the selection of artists. Many festivals would go for headliners such as...
  7. NP: UU - Bye Bye Bye

    Just sat through a twenty minute stall war with a Substitute/Pain Split/Will-O-Wisp/Thunderbolt fucking Rotom. On one hand that thing is such a bitch to kill and it has a gigantic 96 PP. On the other hand, it doesn't seem to accomplish much. It can't really do much to pokemon with recovery...
  8. NP: UU - Bye Bye Bye

    Just jumped back into UU since the Cresselia/PorygonZ period, and this has definitely been one of the most fun phases of UU I have ever played. After the tier has settled a bit (meaning no more Rock Polish Steelix users), there seems to be an incredibly stable metagame that still maintains its...
  9. np: UU - Rain Drops Keep Falling on my Head

    Venomoth's, and formerly Yanmega's, two toughest counters are definitely Chansey and Registeel. Dugtrio can be great in taking out both nearly guaranteed (can't switch in on Registeel Iron Head, and some Chansey and Registeel run Shed Shell). Tinted Lens is such a cool ability because it means...
  10. np: UU - Rain Drops Keep Falling on my Head

    The extra power that Moltres has with 125 base special attack over Houndoom's 110 base and Arcanine's 110 base attack, coupled with a secondary STAB over Arcanine to hit certain "counters/checks" means that Moltres can power through its obstacles much more easily than both Arcanine and Houndoom...
  11. np: UU - Rain Drops Keep Falling on my Head

    Stall seems like it would be just as effective as pre-Cresselia and PorygonZ UU. Before Cress and Porygon were dropped, we had stall breakers like Blaziken and Rhyperior, and we still have Moltres + Spikes, all of which will be very common in this metagame just as they were before (with Cress...
  12. np: UU - Can't Touch This

    Can't we at least try to sit back and enjoy a metagame before speculating what's going to drop in May? I'm much more excited about the metagame that's about to start with (possibly) a few suspects kicked out than a metagame where there may be some defensive powerhouses over two months from now...
  13. np: UU - Can't Touch This

    Most teams try to counter Cresselia with offensive pokemon such as Absol, Drapion, and Scyther, and less with defensive pokemon like Haze Milotic and Roar Steelix because when facing Cresselia, you need it out of the match as soon as possible. By just forcing it out, yes you have countered it...
  14. np: UU - Can't Touch This

    Subseeding Jumpluff accomplishes much more than just annoying your opponent. It prevents opponents from setting up (assuming a set of Sleep Powder/Sub/Leech Seed/Encore), forces switches, which heavily damages the opponent's team once entry hazards are set up, and generally wears down the...
  15. np: UU - Can't Touch This

    Whenever I use Registeel, I always opt for the combination of Seismic Toss and Shadow Claw. Shadow Claw allows Registeel to deal super effective hits on the ghosts and psychics that it's meant to counter, as well as countering SubCharge Rotom that try to set up on it. Seismic Toss gives...
