  1. Smogon Shoddy Server Statistics - May 2009

    First of all, I'm confused why people think pokemon x doesn't "deserve" to be in this or that place. Is your pokemon y doing worse than pokemon x? Good, you'll have less people preparing for it. The lower a pokemon is in the useages the less people will prepare for it, and thus more victories...
  2. What does Smogon want in a competitive metagame?

    Garchomp really isn't that powerful. Gets locked into a move and easily countered, and gets destroyed by Ice moves period. It's extremely predictable past a one-move/item difference. Cases can be made for both pokes, but moving Garchomp UP and Latios DOWN? No. Some semblance of...
  3. Post new creative movesets/EV spreads here:

    Sleep Talk Dialga eats him up, so no.
  4. Trap team; 10 months in the making.

    Looks like a good team (always toyed with the concept of a trap team involving those three but usually went for something else). I wonder, noiw that Shoddy has unbanned Wobbufett the Master of Trapping, would you put him into your team? You started it 10 months ago, but he was unbanned in...
  5. Post new creative movesets/EV spreads here:

    Interesting set there. However a ground (especially Garchomp) will easily stop this, and with only one move (offensive) you're going to be walled by things like Skarm or Hippo.
  6. Stantler Surprise...

    I have used (once, now it's my get back to top 100 on OU ladder extremely serious phase) UU pokemon in OU. It works well until you face someonme who knows the OU pokemon. And then they are swatted by Chomp or something. So, basically, don't simply count on the surprise of the set, you must give...
  7. Gyarados Thunder Wave abuse

    Does Dragonite have STAB waterfall? No. And also, I would take an electric weak over an ice weak... And intimidate.
  8. NEW GLITCH (all all versions, even U.S.)! Any move teachable to a mimicer

    ...Is this... this... an INCENTIVE FOR ME TO PLAY WI-FI?? It must be big. It IS big. If you think about it... Like, woah. Well, GameFreak, screwed THIS one up big time. Say hello to lots of crap. Holy moley, DD Heracross? NP randoms... Oh ye gods. Time to dust off the ol' DS, it's perfectly...
  9. Who here uses UU pokes in higher tiers?

    As an answer to the question, generally: No I do not. I mostly use things like Heracross and Blissey and Garchomp (also my favorite pokemon) in OU, as they are OU and thus the strongest pokemon available. UU pokemon are gimmicky and not really that useful in OU... Mostly. Specifically: I do...
  10. Scyther deserves a place in the metagame.

    Same typing, extreme similarities. Oh, and the question was: Why would you use it over Jask and Mega? Ninjask can 2HKO Tar and Weavile, and the rest, lol. Those were some crappy examples. Again, it has relaatively few things it can do well and be different from these. It's mediocre, and that is...
  11. Scyther deserves a place in the metagame.

    It's attack and speed stats are good, but nothing special. Also, you have failed to note that Stealth Rock, which is out 99% of the time, makes Scyther take 50% on a switch in. So Scyther can only switch in 2 or 3 times, depinding on the HP. Also, why pick this over Yanmega, who has Sleep, Speed...
  12. The Boss: Anti-Lead Honchkrow Discussion

    Yeah, but at the same time, I'm doubting that Gyara will be the most popular lead for long. From simply looking at that list, you'll want to counter Gyara. Gyara users should lie low for now as a huge wave of anti-Gyara leads is probably coming. Also, some battle experience with this: Many...
  13. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 8

    I would like to restate as my question has been ignored: What is the Fighting Arceus set that Jibaku is known to use? Remember, Obi's anti-Arceus complaints don't matter.
  14. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 8

    What is the Jibaku Fighting Arceus set? I'd like to know for my Ubers team. Edit- No, I don't care that Obi has problems with Arceus.
  15. The Boss: Anti-Lead Honchkrow Discussion

    0_o I did? Well, it's kind of your own fault by not creating a discussion for it earlier. :p Sarunibi- HP Ground? An interesting idea, interesting. I'll add it in...
