Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
That wasn't a war, it was a massacre. Like humans fighting maggots. Or dragons fighting wolves. Or humans riding dragons throwing wolves at maggots.
Anyway, I'm not quite sure what you were trying to accomplish with that NU team against a team of sexy OU beefcakes.
I can't really draw worth beans - for you folks doing the preevo ideas, what about this idea:
Stage 1 - a lizard, quadrupedal. No clouds. Body is a lightning bolt.
Stage 2 - bigger, two heads. Dark clouds forming at and around its belly.
Definitely should be over six feet tall. This is basically a hydra, it should be massive and hulking. It's a thunderstorm AND a dragon. Not some measly little puff ball. I also think it should weigh more than some of the suggestions here - Grass Knot is really unimportant thanks to Cyclohm's...
Since this is so ridiculously close (at the time of posting this, they're tied at 145), what about maybe doing a Gastrodon thing and making both of them into the same CAP?
Ehh... I think it should go without Aura Sphere and Grass Knot. This thing shouldn't be a counterless beast. Stuff should always have a few options to counter it. Anyway, if it's got Surf, the Heatran issue is out of the way without giving it Aura Sphere. Focus Blast might be okay. Ice Beam...
I feel the same, but looking here and in the counters thread, it seems like there are some folks who feel that getting both sides gives CAP8 too big of an advantage against possible counters. I'm just sayin' maybe we should try for the controversial stuff first before getting to the stuff we...
First, does anyone DISAGREE with Thunder, Thunderbolt, Draco Meteor, Dragon Pulse, Discharge, etc.? If not, maybe we should get right to the inevitable Surf/Flamethrower/Hydro Pump/Fire Blast debate.
I'm not quoting that whole list, but I think you're pretty much on-target there. I can't see anything I disagree with, and furthermore, it looks like everyone else so far is on pretty much the same page. I'd like to see Fire Blast and Hydro Pump together on it - Salamence has them and it's not...
Still pulling for Cartoons!, but this top four got it right for sure. I think Zant is a bit underrated - for me, what kind of wrecks it is the strange cropping of the picture, to be honest. If we got a little better of an angle and got to see the whole thing, I might have voted differently...
Ombregas (alternate: Ombregis)
Ohm, Umbrage, Aegis/Gigas (depending on spelling). Electric, Dragon, defensive. All in one name. Sounds good. Ohm-bray-gess/ohm-bray-jiss.
Cartoons! and Zantimonius for sure, with a side of KoA. I like a lot of the other submissions, but many of them are far too detailed or don't fit Electric/Dragon as closely as the three I've chosen.
I really don't get why people like you resort to straw man arguments. You know exactly what I mean.
And that's all I'm saying. No Secondary Ability does nothing, it's a cop-out instead of picking an ability that will do something. Please vote for Trace or Static. That's all.
