  1. Chandelure

    Alternatively, you could use trick (drop flamethrower/energy ball for it) and lock them into that priority move, usually mach punch, though Technotop may try to Bullet punch. Then do something like switch in Gyarados, DD on the switch, and try to sweep.
  2. Ditto

    Looks like we think alike. I literally came up with this exact same strategy and was just going through the thread to make sure nobody posted it before I did. As a note to this, it's probably worth using a moveset of: Shadow ball Calm Mind Nitro Boost Substitute and you'd have to check to...
  3. Talk Like a Pirate - Arghonaut thread

    I agree with someone said about Argh: He's like Honda in that he's good against melee characters, but has trouble with projectiles. I don't have too much experience with him, but Pyroak in particular can throw Energy Ball and stop Arghonaut's jump in with flamethrower. I've been able to get...
  4. CAP 4 CAP 4 - Part 3 (Secondary Typing Poll 1)

    Electric Nice resists, and unique typing. This would make it probably get TWave, TBolt, and/or Zap Cannon (Hey, Forry and Pyroak got it). The ground resist would be predictable, and flying resist could help out a team that also has Revenankh. Ground SR resist and TWave immunity are great. I...
  5. CAP 4 CAP 4 - Concept Submissions

    I realized that my idea broke a few rules (suggesting ability). So here's more or less the same idea remade to fit the rules: Concept: Item Enhancer Description: A pokemon that would (somehow) be made so that it can make good use of some one specific hold item, probably one that is rarely used...
  6. CAP 4 CAP 4 - Concept Submissions

    This concept overlaps with a number of concepts that people have already submitted, but I think it still might be usable. Concept: Innate Item Description: A pokemon with an ability that imitates a held item, probably powered down. Role, typing, movepool, and stats would depend on which item is...
  7. The Counter Game

    Too many blisseys... Spiritomb@Leftovers 252 HP, 100 ATK, 152 SDEF Pain Split Sucker Punch Will-o-wisp Pursuit Immune to SToss, takes little from HP Ghost, and Pain split is essentially a full heal. Whittle down with burn, and pressure-stalls you out of Softboiled PP. Sucker punch and pursuit...
  8. Swept by a...[Shoddy Warstory]

    After reading this, I am SO using gastrodon over swampert.
  9. The Counter Game

    @ Cradily: Scizor @ Leftovers Adamant 252 HP/252 ATK/ 6 DEF Roost Swords Dance Quick Attack Brick Break SD's, then Brick Breaks for kill. Not sure about how Roost affects him, since he's not flying type.
  10. The Counter Game

    At Clefable: Blissey@Leftovers Bold 252 HP, 252 DEF, 4 S.Def Serene Grace (Since we can't "Lol, Switch") Seismic Toss Softboiled Thunder Wave Ice Beam Takes Special attacks, Twaves, and ice beams the random ghosts that attempt to come in.
  11. The Counter Game

  12. Gen 1 Imma WHIP you!!!

    It seems that in D/P, pokemon managed to get cheerier and darker at the same time. On one hand, there' spiritomb, the pokemon that was sealed away into the odd keystone, sendoff springs, where the spirits of dead pokemon are supposed to go, and that tower by solaceon town, where you see a lot of...
  13. Which moves, in your opinion require a lot of prediction to pull off at all?

    Metagross in ubers is hard to use. It's turned up in warstories, so I'll say bullet punch / pursuit as a revenge killer. People send out metagross against glass cannons (deoxys-F). 50-50 shot: predict right, dead deoxys. Predict wrong, dead metagross. Also, running gyaravire teams can be...
  14. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer mark 5

    How does Mewtwo learn selfdestruct? Selfdestruct was listed in a Mewtwo moveset for double battle strategies, but it isn't listed on Serebii's page for Mewtwo.
  15. Pokemon you didn't give enough credit

    Toxicroak, and Azumarril. I didn't really like toxicroak after tearing the up the ones team galactic had with bronzong, but then I started running a rain dancing, sub-punching one on shoddy battle. I killed three pokemon with it. I didn't see the point of azumarril. But then, I saw someone on...
