I think this is evidence that Brave Bird is, in fact, "cheap as shit", promotes "douchbagry", and as such, needs to be banned asap.So, here it is, my most amazing team yet:
If you think there's no one who'd lose to this...you haven't seen the bottom of the ladder.
Naturally, this team earned me two truly disastrous opponents.
"Alakazam can't get it going because of slow start." LOL
Lol I was hoping someone saw that :]
Head smash, bro. Flare Blitz, bro. Double Edge, Bro.
that made me tingly inside :)
Really, the only exceptionally terrible Pokemon you listed was Non-Mega Kangaskhan. Victini has a godly physical movepool (dat V-Create tho) and can hit exceptionally hard if you slap a LO or Choice Band on it. Double Edge is the only recoil move Staraptor can use other than Brave Bird (and it's a powerful STAB which gets boosted by Reckless). Metagross can set up rocks easily, hit enemies hard, and even potentially get a sweep going as you saw the opponent trying to do with setting up Agility (even though it was kind of stupid to do against a Mega-Mawile spamming Sucker Punch at 3x Attack), so using it in OU is more uncommon than it is silly.
No, this thread is good as is.
fug rules just post stuff
So it'd be a Knock Off of a thing using the move Knock Off instead? Knock it Off, you.
The best part of that is that Stone Edge missed twice, thus denying him the explosive damage potential of Bide. And then the third SE crits and kills it.
jjjrefo: that was interesting can I have the code for that pokemon?
Well, in 1v1 there is (or at least was) a broken-as-hell Bide glitch that lets a level 1 Berry Juice Sturdy Pineco deal millions of damage. Long story short: Bide returns double the damage the incoming attack should have dealt, instead of double the amount of HP lost.
Rotom F = Rotom Freeze.
Mixed lando-t is not bad. 145 attack and 105 special attack is by no means bad. HP ice can nab a lot of pokemon he would otherwise have trouble with
