  1. VGC Ask a Simple Question, Get a Simple Answer - Mark II

    The thing is, Scarf Abomasnow outspeeds everything up to base 115s, but if I gave it Hidden Power Fire it'd speed tie with Azelf, Starmie and Raikou. Are those 3 Pokemon uncommon enough to justify using Hidden Power Fire? Also, Ice Shard might seem redundant with a Scarf, but considering how...
  2. VGC Ask a Simple Question, Get a Simple Answer - Mark II

    Thanks for the replies, I'm leaning towards Choice Scarf Abomasnow myself. To follow-up, what are the best moves for a special Choice Scarf Abomasnow? Blizzard and Giga Drain are practically mandatory of course, and I can see the value of having Ice Shard, but what else would fit? All I can find...
  3. VGC Ask a Simple Question, Get a Simple Answer - Mark II

    I was just thinking of using the 4 as the main core of the team, and then the 5th and 6th members could be 'additional' Pokemon that counter specific things and pull their own weight. That said, which Pokemon would be considered as the best counter to Rain teams by itself: Amoonguss...

    What would be a good 4th member for a Doubles team including Garchomp, Rotom-W and Scizor? The only things I can think of in particular that would give the team trouble are bulky Fighting, Grass and Water/Ground types, but this depends on the moveset/items of the three Pokemon above of course.

    Where did the 'Worst battling moments' thread go? I really enjoyed reading those stories.

    I kind of want it to be legit, I'm funny like that xD RNG is just about the limit of 'not cheating' but I've done a fair bit of breeding and I'm proud of the ones I've bred myself, it's just hard doing IV breeding AND egg moves AND trying to get a shiny -_-

    Hey, how's it going? :D You wouldn't happen to be able to RNG/breed flawless Pokemon would you? I'm trying to learn how to RNG myself, but I haven't got my head round it yet >.>

    It's do-able, but you'll want to max out Bug Buzz's PP anyway for the legendaries that resist it AND have Pressure. If it turns out you can't beat them anyway, that's what the third member is for. The only options other than Taunt that Whimsicott could use are Encore (since Light Screen isn't...
  9. Black & White Battle Subway Records (now with gen. 4 records!)

    Switcheroo stealing Quick Claw was the main draw for me :D The set I was thinking of using was Switcheroo/Taunt/Charm/Sunny Day - since you can't use Memento to get Butterfree in safely, you need to be attacked, so Taunt's a necessity. It stops Substitute so they can't avoid Sleep Powder, stops...
  10. Black & White Battle Subway Records (now with gen. 4 records!)

    True, that probably works better - I don't decide on specific EVs to give on any of my teams, and I'm set on doing the excruciatingly slow full set up to +6/+6/+6 and using Sleep Powder on every Pokemon that comes out, which probably isn't necessary in most cases, but the issue is the...
  11. Black & White Battle Subway Records (now with gen. 4 records!)

    That idea is genius. No more Quick Claw Donphan, no more Brightpowder anything - as soon as you use Switcheroo, you should win the battle once Butterfree is fully set up. That's fucking brilliant, I want to take that idea and see how far it can go myself. Edit: Ahahahahahaha Butterfree is so...

    FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- Ah well, I was only trying out my team again cause I can't evolve my Tyrogue into Hitmontop right now, I think I'll have a go at Doubles and see what I can do there.
  13. Black & White Battle Subway Records (now with gen. 4 records!)

    Actually no, I kept the Choice Band on Staraptor - I don't know why I said I attempted U-Turn, I'm tired I guess. I tried to use Brave Bird again to at least ensure Sturdy was broken, then I would've tried to KO with either of Suicune or Garchomp. Yeah, not setting up Suicune on Wailord was the...
  14. Black & White Battle Subway Records (now with gen. 4 records!)

    Fuck you, Roughneck Ganymed. I've got a new streak of 169 wins with my Staraptor/Garchomp/Suicune team, this time using a combination of Twash's stat list and Serebii's Trainer Catalogue to help scout the Pokemon. Unfortunately, I misplayed badly again: Initial matchup, Staraptor v Wailord...
  15. Black & White Battle Subway Records (now with gen. 4 records!)

    Would anyone be willing to test a team out for me? It's an absolute BITCH to get the right Pokemon I want on the same team atm, and I'm interested in hearing how well they could possibly do: Hitmontop w/ Focus Sash Adamant, 252Hp 252Atk 4Speed Technician Fake Out/Mach Punch/Bullet Punch/Aerial...
  16. Black & White Battle Subway Records (now with gen. 4 records!)

    Whoever said theorymonning was more fun than actually battling in the Subway probably has a very good point - I restarted my Staraptor/Garchomp/Suicune team on a streak today, but it's now 3am and all I can think about is how much better a new streak could be if only I had the Pokemon to try out...
  17. Black & White Battle Subway Records (now with gen. 4 records!)

    I would like to lay claim to the longest Staraptor streak with 92 wins plz: Jolly Staraptor w/ Choice Band 252Atk/252Spd/4Def 155/172/85/61/70/167 Brave Bird/Close Combat/U-Turn/Quick Attack Adamant Garchomp w/ Choice Scarf 252Atk/252Spd/4Hp 184/200/106/76/102/154 Earthquake/Outrage/Fire...
  18. Black & White Battle Subway Records (now with gen. 4 records!)

    Staraptor's brilliant, Brave Bird and Close Combat can decimate teams, but I'm not sure what the usefulness of Double Edge is - the only type to resist Flying and Fighting is Electric/Flying, which would mean Zapdos and Thundurus, and I don't think Staraptor should be staying in on either of...
  19. Black & White Battle Subway Records (now with gen. 4 records!)

    Alright, thanks for the feedback - my original idea was passing Speed + Hone Claw boosts to Metagross for Meteor Mash and Zen Headbutt, since it's fairly bulky, just a bit slow, but then I remembered Rampardos has the highest non-Uber Attack stat in the game, plus it gets Head Smash. 150 x 1.5...
  20. Black & White Battle Subway Records (now with gen. 4 records!)

    Can anyone guess what the viability of a Ninjask passing a Substitute, Speed and Hone Claws boosts to a Choice Scarf Rampardos would be? I'm getting tired of misplaying with my (IMO fairly reliable) Staraptor/Garchomp/Suicune team.
