Wow. First time experiencing one that lasted so long. Was pretty big in San Diego. Apparently it originated as a 6.9 in Mexico.

Team started off with Jirachi, Celebi, Scizor, and Flygon, 4 good Pokemon with U-Turn which I hoped would be able to hold off my opponent for my last 2 Pokemon. I mostly threw this team together on whim and I think it needs a LOT of improvement. Jirachi @ Leftovers Ability: Serene Grace EVs: 4...

Picked up World Championship 2008 about 2 months ago and spent hours on it. Afterwards I downloaded Stardust Accelerator and managed to tool around with a couple decks on Yu-Gi-Oh Virtual Dueling (downloadable here: http://www.xerocreative.com/index.php?goto=downloads). And with the help of...

Came up with this team a couple days ago, needs some work to make it even better. Team is now officially in Version 2.0, and has been working fairly effectively. Thank you all who have contributed to this team so far, hopefully this team can be improved further. Team at a glance: Deoxys-e @...

I mean, is that really how the tiering system in Pokemon is supposed to work? Currently we have a set number of Pokemon to determine how many are OU. I disagree with the system we have now that the top 50 used Pokemon in Standard are considered to be OU. I thought that how tiering in Pokemon...

Yeah, I'm a month late, but I didn't find anything on the forum search about this. I feel as if a part of my childhood died, like when Toonami ended. I loved reading EGM off the rack at the local bookstore every month when I was growing up, and I'm saddened to see it go. Thoughts?

I looked through the Analysis and Low Kick isn't mentioned anywhere on the Analysis. I was considering what moves to use on a Guts Machamp to absorb Statuses and hit hard with Rest/Sleep Talk. Close Combat really isn't desirable on a set that's designed to sponge hits, Cross Chop is only 80%...

Team at a glance: Jirachi @ Choice Scarf Ability: Serene Grace EVs: 80 HP/252 Atk/176 Spd Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Trick - Iron Head - Stealth Rock - Zen Headbutt --- Excellent Trick lead. Uses Flinch h4x to great effect. IS NOT a "Suicide" lead, and is meant to switch in...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISSlVgv1hcE&fmt=18 Well, this video isn't exactly "Humorous", so I wasn't sure if this belonged in that one topic on Firebot development. And I did do a couple of searches for topics about the "Pokemon anime" and anime in general and couldn't find any. I read...

Meh, I'm mainly an Uber player, but I decided to give OU a try again. I wanted to try out a Jirachi set since it learned Trick, U-Turn, and Stealth Rock, and still had good resistances and defenses as well as a movepool that could work with the set. After that, realized that Porygon2 countered...

http://venice-diaries.livejournal.com/16382.html Possible new "Chuck Norris facts"?

Edit: Or maybe some other site for that matter? Being a bit of a chess enthusiast, I sometimes look through notable chess matches between famous chess players such as Kasparov, Fischer, Capablanca, Spassky, Alekhine, Karpov, and many others when I feel like delving into some strategies to...

Topic reopened with permission from Maniaclyracist. Back when the Shoddy Uber Ladder first came up, I managed to get to 6th place using a full-on Baton Pass team that lead with Magic Coat Smeargle. After that, I just gave up any hope of reaching 1st place and stopped playing Pokemon for a...

This question was the main reason I created this topic: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47938 So, why are Baton Pass Teams looked down upon by the community? I mean, they may be strong, but they aren't uncounterable by any means, nor do they require extremely specific actions to...

Well, I mainly made this topic to attempt to get the discussion guys like Jibaku and Yagami were having off this topic here: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47893, which is kind of off-topic in it. In the topic, several people are arguing whether it's "tactless" of me to have used...

Not sure if this should go somewhere else, if it should, close it. I was wondering this while looking through the spinner Starmie set, and it said that it should shoot for a 269 Sp Atk stat to OHKO Garchomp with Ice Beam. What should I now shoot for?

Most of those teams and moves used aren't really that great, yet they continue to be made and watched by people who think the people battling are good, when they really aren't that great. Sometimes, I want to see action happening, and the text in the warstories on these boards often isn't...

Team at a glance: Roserade (F) @ Black Sludge Ability: Natural Cure IVs: 2 Attack/30 Speed/30 Special Attack EVs: 24 HP/232 Spd/252 SAtk Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Hidden Power [Fire] - Leaf Storm - Sleep Powder - Toxic Spikes --- Very nice lead. Faster than most leads that try to lay down...

I was just remembering early DP, and thought it'd be fun if Smogon had a "Generation IV History" section chronicling the trends of the generation (it does say "Smogon University" in the upper left corner). Sadly, I don't think anyone has wasted their time recording what the trends were like. But...
