  1. np: RU Stage 11 - Bark at the Moon

    My apologies. Since most Galvantula are Scarfed, I must have assumed that Galvantula outspeeds anyway. However, because of the Scarf, Galvantula can outspeed and OHKO Durant anyway, so it technically can revenge kill it. Anyway, because Cresselia (and Durant, for that matter) is still listed as...
  2. My Return to Pokemon!

    So far, I haven't lost too many battles because of being outsped, as I'm not running a very fast team anyway, and there are few Pokemon that I have found to run straight through my team. However, I definitely see how priority can become a problem, as Moltres isn't the bulkiest cleaner and is...
  3. My Return to Pokemon!

    I'm pretty sure Cresselia has dropped back down to RU until November 11th, someone correct me if I'm wrong though. She is usable on PS in the RU tier, so I assume it is still ok. But thank you for your rate regarding Moltres, I'm glad to see that someone else views accuracy as more important...
  4. My Return to Pokemon!

    Hey there Smogon! My name, as you can see, is The Goddamn Batman. Now although I’m sure close to none of you remember me, I was a frequent battler in the early stages of RU. I took a break from competitive battling for about 10 months, and now that I have sent in all of my college applications...
  5. The RU Viability Ranking Thread

    I agree with Ghostbone. I think it's important for us to keep in mind the definition of these tiers, and Hitmonchan's niche of Foresight + Rapid Spin is certainly enough to warrant its place in C-Tier. Is it less effective in the Cresselia metagame? Of course, but it dropping to D-Tier is...
  6. np: RU Stage 11 - Bark at the Moon

    This is the first round of RU I've played since Cresselia was banned for the first time, so maybe I don't have as much perspective on the subject as the rest of you do. However, I'm going to go ahead and share my thoughts on the topic. I am of the opinion that Cresselia isn't a centralizing...
  7. np: RU Stage 5 - Dark Side of the Moon

    I know this has come up before, but seriously, Trick Room is incredibly difficult to face. There is no chance for a hyper-offensive team to break through the extremely bulky attackers of Trick Room (Cofagrigus, Aggron, Druddigon, etc.). Does anyone else feel that the metagame would be better...

    I hate Druddigon, seriously don't implement that change, it's one of the most annoying things for my team to face. loljk, Druddigon is much better than Zweilous, because it cant be easily revenged with Mach Punch. Also, it doesn't have accuracy issues. And yeah, Medicham isnt that great as a...

    Normally, I handle Ludicolo by paralyzing it, and then hitting it with strong neutral hits. On my team, this is how i usually handle it. Ludicolo takes SR damage, and then i paralyze it with Uxie. I U-turn out to Rotom-C to take the Surf, which can hit it with a strong Volt-Switch. I bring in...

  11. np: RU Stage 5 - Dark Side of the Moon

    Ok, I totally forgot about Clefable, so i guess that could work, my apologies. JW though, what does GK hit? Lanturn/Slowking? And I always ran Ice Punch on Golurk, so I would be able to hit both of those pokes. Fighting/Ground is shitty offensive coverage, so Earthquake isnt really needed.
  12. np: RU Stage 5 - Dark Side of the Moon

    The problem is that there arent good Wish-Passers in the tier. Lickilicky/Lickitung are really the best ones, and they don't have any offensive presence. They are really annoying to face though.... Anyway, If i were to use a spinblocker, I would use SubPunch Golurk, as nothing in the tier...

    LO Moltres could be good, resists Mach Punch, has decent defenses, and has U-turn in case you need to switch out. Unfortunately it doesnt get Tailwind, but it has a lot of other things going for it. You just need to keep SR off the field. Edit: alexwolf your team is insane. I played it tonight...
  14. Good TV Shows Thread

    How I Met Your Mother is the best show on TV. It's so easy to get into and follow, and its fucking hysterical. If you wanna go for a show that isnt on TV anymore, you could get DVDs of Batman: The Animated Series, that's such a good show if your into Batman stuff or whatever.

    Signing Prince Fielder for 9 years is even worse than signing A-Rod for 10 back in 07. And back to the top first baseman discussion, Fielder (ironically) doesnt field his position very well. I would say that he would be high on the list of "top hitters who play first base". To call him a great...

    By definition, correct me if I'm wrong, but Heavy/Hyper Offense doesn't use Choice users and minimizes the need for switching. HO is a playstyle where you continually wear down the opponents walls from one side of the attacking spectrum. I think the playstyle you described is general offense...

    Heavy Offense is only really good unless played correctly. Aerodactyl gets rocks up, but doesnt give you screens. Uxie would be much better than Dactyl, considering you can set up Rocks, Screens, and then U-turn out. Also, most boosters in the RU metagame are physically frail and share common...
