  1. Salamence - The Face of The Next Suspect, or Merely OU's Strongest Dragon?

    (Officially last post on Smogon, I really needed to say this) When talking about what supplies an answer to Salamence, please, don't talk about "counters." We are currently in a very offensive metagame, where most Pokemon running around the tier don't have a solid counter. Most Pokemon have...
  2. Salamence - The Face of The Next Suspect, or Merely OU's Strongest Dragon?

    Its been proven through playing on the standard metagame ladder time and time again that Salamence can be worked around because of it being locked into Outrage or getting a drop in Spa from Draco Meteor, etc. It doesn't need a suspect test to show that it doesn't overcentralize or is...
  3. Salamence - The Face of The Next Suspect, or Merely OU's Strongest Dragon?

    Let's see... Steels can switch in safely on Outrage, Heatran on Fire Blast, Latias on EQ or Fire Blast or Brick Break/Roost, etc. Nothing else should switch in on Mence because it would be idiotic to do so
  4. Salamence - The Face of The Next Suspect, or Merely OU's Strongest Dragon?

    But seriously, theres nothing wrong in Salamence in OU, and no reason why it should be Suspect. Its checked by several things, which is good enough for me in a metagame that relies on checks and very few things have "counters"
  5. Salamence - The Face of The Next Suspect, or Merely OU's Strongest Dragon?

    Yea the only real reason Salamence really has any bulk is because it has something called Intimidate? Which means "Hi my name is Ice Beam/HP Ice/ Draco Meteor/ Dragon Pulse/ switch in after you then use Stone Edge or Ice Punch or priority and I kill Salamence" :/
  6. Salamence - The Face of The Next Suspect, or Merely OU's Strongest Dragon?

    So if there's no pure counter to a Pokemon its should be tested? That's pretty illogical, because you're also saying that any other Pokemon with no pure counters should be tested, like: Scizor- U-Turns all the time, no counter because of that, SUSPECT Lucario- Too versatile, doesn't use SD all...
  7. Salamence - The Face of The Next Suspect, or Merely OU's Strongest Dragon?

    Well, since Salamence is usually paired with T-Tar (according to this thread which I think pairing T-Tar with Mence is dumb lol), if Salamence has take one turn of LO and SR and SS damage Scizor does OHKO it and can come in on a predicted Outrage :/ Mixmence is worn down through LO...
  8. Salamence - The Face of The Next Suspect, or Merely OU's Strongest Dragon?

    I'd like to bring up something that should be a crucial point in this argument: the threat list. Most people who post RMTs usually have a threat list that they use to illustrate how they deal with Pokemon. A good threat list will include every possible situation one might encounter (not just the...
  9. Salamence - The Face of The Next Suspect, or Merely OU's Strongest Dragon?

    I don't see what the huge problem is with Salamence. From experience, I've never had problems with Salamence against my team. There's a plethora of options that can be used against Mence. I'm talking about bulky waters, steels, Scarfers, Latias, Pursuit, Stealth Rock, Bullet Punch, Ice Shard...
  10. Can't letch do that! (OU Stall)

    I actually prefer keeping Drapion on the team since it can absorb foe T-Spikes which are a huge pain for stall teams. Try replacing Wish Vappy with WishBliss, which can still take special hits well. Forry goes over Skarm (I prefer Spikes/RS/EQ/Payback, but its your call) and Dusknoir really...
  11. Programming TI-89 IV Calculator

    I have a TI-83 Plus. Will the TI-83 version work on that?
  12. UU Nominations (Round 4)

    I believe that in the current UU metagame there are no Suspects. I have found through several battles that there is no real overcentralizing threats in the metagame that require a certain Pokemon to take it out. Most of the Pokemon that are currently being put up for Suspects can be beaten in...
  13. How Powerful is Bluffing in Pokemon?

    When I think of bluffing, I usually consider not just bluffing items, but bluffing movesets as well. It really only works the first time that you pull off the bluff, but it usually can be worth it. I also usually consider bluffing the same as luring, because by pulling off the bluff, you can...
  14. CAP 9 CAP 9 - Part 16 - Sprite Poll 1

    I brought it down to Cartoons! and aragornbird. Those two looked the most realistic for a Pokemon game. However, I preferred the more prominent red eyes and shiny color scheme that aragornbird have, so I voted for him.
