  1. np: USUM UU Stage 6.2 - Reggaetón Lento

    As a long-time player and first time voter (from early BW to now, with some year-long breaks in the middle), I really like the changes to the voting requirements. In the past I've avoided suspect laddering because of the high game requirement and pressure to maintain a very high winrate in order...
  2. np: USUM UU Stage 6.2 - Reggaetón Lento

    I've used CM/Iron Defense Mega Slowbro in OU to pretty good success, so when it dropped down to UU I couldn't resist trying it out. Didn't originally intend to get reqs but found that I was 5 games from qualifying when I checked my Elo, so why not? Some thoughts on this thing: Mega Slowbro...
  3. UU Stage 6.2 - Alt Identification Thread

    Confirming as Fkp4 for my first suspect test reqs: Edit: Put the picture in a hide spoiler so as to fit the requirements of the thread Edit 2: added proof of identity in the form of a chatbox line I guess? I have no clue why !rank isn't working for me.
  4. Metagame Shared Power [Under Re-Construction!]

    Agreed on both points. Unaware is a problem on both defensive and offensive fronts, and it's strong enough to be worth bringing even if it isn't shared with the rest of the team. Haze and Phasing with Dragon Tail/Roar/Red Card also exists, so it's not like Unaware is the only option to stop a...
  5. Metagame Shared Power [Under Re-Construction!]

    The point of contention is not whether or not Starf spam is broken; there are several archetypes that I would argue are stronger. It is enough that the strategy is viable and strong. The issue is that this playstyle turns the match into a contest of RNG. There is very little player agency...
  6. Metagame Shared Power [Under Re-Construction!]

    Alright so: Prankster/Cheek Pouch/Dazzling/Harvest with Starf Berry and Substitute/Protect is Moody 2.0, and doesn't even have the drawback of reducing one of your stats per turn. You cannot break the cycle. You cannot use priority outside of Mold Breaker Pangoro to fuck with the substitute...
  7. Metagame Shared Power [Under Re-Construction!]

    Speed boosting ban has not been implemented yet, unfortunately. I've been playing the shit out of this ladder the last couple days on my test accounts Fkptest and Fkptest2, and wanted to make some general remarks. I peaked at 1460, rank 13 today but quickly dropped back to ~1380 because I...
  8. Pokémon Decidueye

    To be fair I think that's because Pheromosa is both one-dimensional and about to be quickbanned with Aegislash out of the tier. At that point there's little to discuss. There's like one good Phero set and everyone knows what it does. A large part of the Decidueye discussion is what spread and...
  9. Resource Ultra SM OU Bazaar

    Made an offensive team focused around two of the major 6-0 threats in the meta right now: Porygon-Z-Conversion and DD RestTalk Zygarde (pls ban). The general principle is that teams that have good methods to deal with one generally are pretty susceptible to the other, since PoryZ wrecks...
  10. Bug Reports v2.0 (READ OP BEFORE POSTING!!)

    http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7pokebankou-480397259 On turn 3 my opponent Baton Passed after Z-Purifying the previous turn. This should violate the Baton Pass clause present, but I believe Z-moves are not programmed to be recognized as potential stat-boosting moves and so are not stopped...
  11. UU Stats: November 2012

    Is that a legit reply format? I apologize, I didn't mean to insinuate that you only posted in the Stats thread, but you do seem to do it for every tier. I'm just going to argue Ambipom because we tend not to disagree too violently with the rest. Fake Out is a very useful move, damn it. It's...

    lololol XD I must redirect you to this page then: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3472019 Look at that TTar set! #31: You run Air Balloon on something generally used as a wall (Empoleon lol) I saw AB SDef Empoleon and AB Arcanine on the ladder recently, and the simple fact is...

    D'you mind if I make a warstory about our decently recent battle? I might not ever get around to posting it, though, as I have a couple of seriously close matches I may want to do instead (nobody I knew on forums tho)
  14. When things don't go according to plan - A UU warstory

    ^qft Sorry, sir/ma'am, a Baton Pass sweep and a 3-0 finisher that honestly was anticlimactic as hell and against an opponent whose sets and move choices were honestly quite terrible (Air Balloon Empoleon for crying out loud) is not the best battle to write a warstory about. In addition, there...
  15. UU Stats: November 2012

    do you just post on every single stats thread? You're also wrong, too. (only partially kidding) Hitmontop outclasses Claydol as a spinner because, well, it's Claydol, possesses horrible offensive stats, and is flat-out 1HKO'd or 2HKO'd by the majority of UU, such as Darmanitan, Raikou...
  16. November 2012 OU Stats

    To the first point: *raises hand proudly* Pseudo-gimmicky HO sun team with Choice Specs Solar Power Charizard as wallbreaker. It will either 2HKO or outspeed and 1HKO pretty much everything in the meta, including Chansey with ease. There is literally no safe switch-in, but it's easy to sack...

  18. The UU Viability Ranking Thread

    Natural Cure > Technician unless you're running Aromatherapy on a defensive set. Technician doesn't really do much for Roserade to be honest; the only base 60 move worth mentioning is Magical Leaf which can provide Roserade with a reliable, never-miss base 90 power move in place of the much...
  19. Arcanine Discussion Thread

    I have to agree with kokoloko here about Milotic; the defensive set defeats SOME bulky waters, with the notable exceptions of offensive Suicune and Choice Band Swampert. All else can be stalled out or simply smashed with coverage moves. I wasn't saying that Hail puts a full stop to Arcanine...
  20. UU Suspect Discussion - Mew

    I've tested it extensively now. It's great. That's been covered. It's really true. It's probably the best Pokemon out there when you just need a very specific niche, that is, of a bulky Baton Passer/Set up sweeper. Does it do any particular thing in a way that nothing else in the tier does...
