    Ladder ORAS 1v1 [3v3 Team Preview]

    Life is too busy these days to attempt what is basically a Top 10 in the ladder, but as a guy who used to have several alts in the Top 10 (and even making #1), it is pretty obvious that Perish Song needs to be banned. Even if Pokémon's own mechanics give one or the other a victory, it is still a...

    Circle of Legends [Online Competition]

    Funnily enough, it was Xerneas's predictability that netted me over half of my wins. It's scary to think that there are actually players out there that 30-0'D this tournament. A high level of skill alone is dangerous, but coupling that with a high level of luck is downright terrifying.

    Circle of Legends [Online Competition]

    Day 1: 8W-2L-0T-0DC (8W-2L) Day 2: 15W-4L-0T-1DC (15W-5L) Day 3: 20W-7L-1T-2DC (20W-10L) I peaked with a score of 1659, had one DC, and instantly fell to 1599. Absolutely absurd. I worked my way back up, but in the end, I think I ended between 1580 and 1620. If I cared about Championship...

    Ladder ORAS 1v1 [3v3 Team Preview]

    Here's something that got me to #2 on the ladder with a score of 1605 and a record of 45-19: Aggron @ Aggronite Ability: Sturdy EVs: 8 SDef / 248 HP / 252 Atk Brave Nature IVs: 0 Spd - Metal Burst - Iron Head - Earthquake - Head Smash The 248 HP is to keep it at an odd HP variable and to make...

    Ladder ORAS 1v1 [3v3 Team Preview]

    If they didn't ban Jirachi in Gen 5 1v1, they shouldn't ban Mega Kangaskhan in Gen 6 1v1 unless they ban all megas. There are PLENTY of strategies that can counter it. Here is one of my favorites: AntiMgaKangaskhan (Cofagrigus) @ Leftovers Ability: Mummy EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 SDef Relaxed...

    Battle Mechanics Research

    I asked in the battle mechanics topic in the forum on Serebii's website the following: Trainer Yusuf stated that the moves overwrite one another. However, I was suggested by him to get some extra clarification in this thread, so here are my new set of questions: 1. If I use Trick-or-Treat...

    (1v1) Gotta Troll Fast (Peaked #4)

    Here's the GrassWhistle variant beating Jirachi: http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/1v1-36122605 Although Whimsicott should have no trouble against scarfed Jirachi anyway sans burn/freeze hax, it's still possible to win with the GrassWhistle variant.

    By the way, to show that the GrassWhistle variant of Whimsicott can indeed beat Cloyster: http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/1v1-35994270

    Gen V 1 vs 1 Metagame

    For those of you who are interested in using Whimsicott in 1v1, I posted a comprehensive thread here: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3484552 It's a long read, but it goes over the various Whimsicotts to use in 1v1.

    (1v1) Gotta Troll Fast (Peaked #4)

    After much testing, here are the results of the different kinds of Whimsicott I have used and encountered: (1) Whimsicott (F) @ Focus Sash Trait: Prankster Level: 98 EVs: 148 Def / 116 SAtk / 244 Spd Timid Nature IVs: 0 HP / 0 Atk / 30 Def / 30 SAtk / 30 SDef / 31 Spd - Substitute - Leech Seed...

    (1v1) Gotta Troll Fast (Peaked #4)

    I see that you currently have a 28-10 ranking in 1v1 with an ACRE of 1720, putting you just below the ladder, since #100 is at 1721. It's a bit hard to ladder unless you get lucky, since people will eventually just start using Magic Bounce/Guard users and Cloyster to spite you. I've even run...

    (1v1) Gotta Troll Fast (Peaked #4)

    Yeah, HP Flying is mainly just for Breloom, frail Grass-type sweepers that I can't use Leech Seed on, and other Whimsicotts. Even with Hurricane, I can't 3KO bulky Grass types, but luckily, bulky Grass types are very rarely seen in 1v1 due to the commonality of Fire-type moves.

    (1v1) Gotta Troll Fast (Peaked #4)

    Bumping to see if anybody has anything to suggest, although no replies might be a good thing in this instance. I really don't see how Whimsicott can be improved.

    CAP RMT - Receding Tide (Peaked #1)

    You said Politoed goes down early in the game. How do you deal with the surprise weather changers after your Politoed is down, or are those too rare despite the common Drizzle strategy?

    (1v1) Gotta Troll Fast (Peaked #4)

    Anyone who has played 1v1 knows that it's pretty much Rock-Paper-Scissors, but there's a way to increase your odds as much as possible. With Jirachi and Togekiss, you can win approximately 60% of the time after Turn 1 with Serene Grace + Paraflinch, but a lot of the time, you are dealing with...

    It says it clearly in the explanation. It is used to counter Groudon.

    An Ubers Team Full of the Good Stuff

    My team at a glance: I've been using this team on Pokemon Showdown for a while now, and it has brought me great success. Here are the two ladders I've tested it on: Ubers (Suspect Test) Score: 1928 Rank: 98 Record: 102-28-0 (Win-Lose-Tie) GXE: 87 Glicko2: 1989 ± 43 Ubers Score: 1927 Rank...
