  1. #Neverused Showdown

    These seem really fun haha definitely do a mono-color one!
  2. Fighting Types: Honing The Vital Spirit

    The max HP/SpD Bulk Up Scraggy set has wreaked havoc against me on so many occasions. With Eviolite his special defense reaches 392 and after a few Bulk Ups his defense is right up there as well, not to mention Drain Punch and Rest recover health like nobody's business. That little guy is a...
  3. Bulky Bodybagging Hazards!

    Delllllllllllllll, Wussup, man. I really like the team, and your descriptions seem to show that this team and its members all serve their roles very effectively; I really love the Altaria set, especially the Rest+Natural Cure combo. The use of entry hazards combo'd with a spinblocker combo'd...
  4. How I Wet Your Mother; a NU Rain Team

    TLCJR4LIFE, I like the Battle Video, as it shows definitely why Substitute is better then Tail Glow as well as why Skuntank does work, yet I wouldn't trust that video as to why your set is better because there was a serious misplay by TheWalrus55 by not predicting the switch-in to Skuntank from...
  5. Project Neverused

    I would like give all credit to Full2Half for this set and the idea behind it; he posted it on the Tangela Discussion I started. Seviper (M) @ Life Orb Trait: Shed Skin EVs: 52 Atk / 200 SpAtk / 252 Speed Modest Nature (+SpAtk, -Atk) - Sludge Wave - Giga Drain - Flamethrower - Earthquake...
  6. Tangela Discussion

    Hahahha yeah that's totally my fault; I caught that immediately after I posted this!
  7. Tangela Discussion

    Tangela Traits: Chlorophyll / Leaf Guard / Regenerator 65 / 55 / 115 / 100 / 40 / 60 In a tier dominated by sheer offensive power, defensive and stall oriented teams are yet to find their true niche. Certain Pokemon, however, have established themselves as defensive tanks...
  8. Ask a Simple Question, Get a Simple Answer - NU Edition

    Do I need to ask permission from a contributor to the tier or from a council member before opening a "Pokemon-X Discussion" on the NU Forum? Besides following the basic structure and grammar procedures, is there anything else I need to do or confirm? The Forum Rules said I don't need permission...
  9. Hydreigon

    Mach Punch Conkledurr
  10. np: NU Stage 4 - Disco Inferno

    I am so glad that the weather rocks were not banned. I've climbed within the top 60 with a rain-oriented team I created and not once did I run into another team using either Heat Rock or Damp Rock. It's just not prevalent enough to have banned in the first place; Jynx, on the other hand, was...
  11. Research Week #9 - Lampent, Simipour, Eelektross, Beheeyem

    I think with access to Flash Fire that Lampent could find an interesting place on most teams. I would use Lampent if I was participating, yet I am currently working on a Rain Team at the moment so the timing was bad /:
  12. 3rd time's a charm

    Yes besides Sawk surviving with Sturdy I see no real resistance to a powerful Gorebyss set. Unless you switch EVs on Ampharos into Special Defense to potentially survive a boosted attack, I would suggest using the following set: Ludicolo (M) @ Life Orb Trait: Swift Swim EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpAtk...
  13. Mixed, Phys & Spec Offense and Defense.

    Copy and paste the URL of the sprites in the picture box on the edit page, for future reference from this website. http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/blackwhite_bwa.html :)
  14. How I Wet Your Mother; a NU Rain Team

    Thank you all for the wonderful suggestions, especially CherubAgent, ChaoticaMortis, and erisia! The changes have all worked very successfully and have allowed me to ladder higher than I had previously. Thanks :)
  15. Stall in NU - CCAT

    One Poke that might work well as far as Scarfers go is Raichu. I'm on my phone, so my response is rather short, but Raichu utilizes massive special attack and speed with access to Volt Switch, allowing Raichu to come on and inflict damage and switch out into a wall-type Pokemon on the prediction...
  16. Dark-types: Shedding some light on the matter.

    I love utilizing Murkrow on weather teams, able to use Rain Dance and Sunny Day in combination with Damp/Heat rock respectively. Granted, while its defensives are severely lacking without Eviolite, guaranteed weather for 8 turns is very helpful!
  17. NU Stats: April 2012

    I'm very interested to see what happens to Magmortar usage now that Jynx has been banned, seeing as people will no longer need a Vital Spirit switch-in on the Lovely Kiss prediction. I have a feeling that's one of the main reasons his usage was so damn high. Im also suprised at the ranking Jynx...
  18. trolling trollbeat trolls your team

    In addition to Ludicolo being a threat in the rain, as you mentioned, you also need to watch out for SS Floatzel. With access to Swift Swim, doubling speed in the rain, an incredible powerful STAB Waterfall, a priority move in Aqua Jet, and coverage moves like Crunch and Ice Punch, Floatzel...
  19. Stall in NU - CCAT

    I think dedicating an entire team to stall is simply too challenging to accomplish and not worth doing on account of the powerful sweepers located in the tier. This is not to say you should abandon stall components all together, however. With Murkrow and Volbeat having access to Prankster, the...
  20. PokeNUmon!

    I was the one that complimented you on your alt account too hahahaha Anyways, I kinda-sorta have to agree with DMist on replacing Wartortle with Cryogonal for all the reasons he mentioned. One thing I would also suggest is taking Substitute off Absol and replacing it with Crunch. The main...
