You needn't worry about Toxic Spikes; the only Pokemon poisoned by them have Natural Cure. Your team's impunity to Toxic Spikes and single Stealth Rock-weak Poke doesn't warrant the use of Starmie as a spinner. If you must have a Gyarados counter and/or bulky water, Vaporeon, Slowbro, etc. make...

Swords Dance Absol still beats all three lol (not to mention mixed Blaziken, anything with Leech Seed, other shit)

Can't be arsed for a full rundown of your team right now but having used Choice Scarf Shaymin-S as a lead myself I can definitely attest to the advantage of Grass Knot over Hidden Power Fire or Hidden Power Ice if only for issues with Pressure; Forretress can't switch in on Air Slash, Scizor can...

Many of you advocates of gun control neglect to realize one of the central arguments for the defense of gun rights. The irony of that is that this very argument is made in favor of the legalization of marijuana, etc. -- legalizing pot encourages its regulated sale and federal control while...

Arguably most lead Metagross run some combination of Meteor Mash / Bullet Punch to deal with Aero and Azelf more effectively but perhaps you've seen less. In such a case, Shuca Berry is definitely superior to Focus Sash. Against Infernape you lose anyways due to Fake Out, so unless there exists...

I sang the Velvet Underground's After Hours! ^__^ .. for my girlfriend though it's still a good idea for singles. Prom is this Saturday and I'm wearing a black tux with a black vest with a black shirt with a white tie lol (I think I look like a hoodlum but she insisted on these colors).

lol you really have little idea how the government operates huh. Again, Congress is not the collective evil you make it out to be; in fact, it hardly ever makes collective decisions. tbh I have not and will not bother to read the bill but at a glance it looks to me as jxr has called you out...

Legacy Raider's point really applies for Pokemon that take neutral damage from Stealth Rocks as well really. If you really want to get down in the grits then give Lucario, etc. 30 HP IVs to allow it one more turn of survival in Hail, but I ramble.

Congress doesn't exactly "try" to pass bills but rather votes on them; rarely does it make decisions as the collective evil you make it out to be.

Starmie with Hidden Power Fire needs to run 220 speed EVs to outrun base 110 speed Pokemon because said attack requires a speed IV of 30.

That's a complete falsehood because Aerodactyl can only stand to 2HKO if it doesn't setup Stealth Rocks while Azelf risks a speed tie. I agree that it's not the best scenario but if you run Gyarados, Salamence, Zapdos, etc. on the same team this Starmie is very beneficial.

I don't really see the need for a separate mixed Azelf set; the Nasty Plot sweeper already wrecks most teams because most Azelf are still suicide leads despite the prevelence of Occa Berry Metagross. IMO you can run Hidden Power Fighting for Tyranitar and Explosion for Blissey (or whatever else...

The analysis gives Scizor 56 speed EVs to outrun max speed Shedinja which you really don't need -- cut it down to 12 speed EVs at the most to outrun most Vaporeon, etc. Otherwise, run Adamant with a bonus EV number like 16, 56, 136, etc. and pump HP and SpD.

I'm not sure how that could ever outclass Cosmic Power Deoxys-D which actually sucks even with Taunt / Toxic / Recover. If you opt for defensive Baton Pass why would you pass +2 Def / SpD over +2 Atk / SpA / Spe? Mew is arguably the best offensive Baton Passer in the game and should be (ab)used...

Honestly "Metank" sounds incredibly fanboyish and unprofessional; "tank" is just that much better.
