  1. np: UU - A New Beginning

    Heh. That helps round out my team. I think I'm about ready to head into the testing then.
  2. Programming Pokemon Resource (for DP; made in Excel)

    Unfortunately I'm quite the novice at coding, so I can't help there. I do know that to put an App on the App Store for the iPhone costs green. Should you decide at some future point to move it to the iPhone in one form or another, you should ask for donations here to defray that cost. I know...
  3. Programming Pokemon Resource (for DP; made in Excel)

    Hello, This looks awesome. Is there a chance you'll put this online like metalkid's calculators or rig up a iPhone version for the app store? I'd love to be able to use this on the go during trips.
  4. Pokemon Platinum - The definitive thread: Mach 3 (Competitive Discussion)

    Nicely done. This will be my DDnite standard now. Time to rebreed as Outrage DDnite hasn't paid off in a while. What excites me the most is the Snorlax add ons. He's looking sweet!
  5. Stealth Rock in the OU Metagame

    I've said it before, I'll say it again: if you ban Stealth Rocks, chances are good that you'll end the Garchomp Problem we have in the OU right now. Stealth Rocks as a move has helped eliminate the idea of counters in the D/P metagame. If you remove the rocks, many "Uncounterable" pokemon...
  6. Smogon Shoddy is up

    Cool. I don't know if I'll get on today, but I'll try to start battling soon.
  7. Garchomp and this Metagame

    I could get behind at least getting Manaphy back into the OU. I don't think you have to ban Garchomp. There are other things that could be done to OU to avoid that like reintroducing other pokemon, banning Stealth Rocks, etc. I just don't think there's mch you can do about him in the current...
  8. New OU List

    Does it have a large impact on the Metagame? Sure looks that way. The current OU list has 1 4x Rock weak pokemon out of 45, and only 6 2x Rock weak pokemon. There could be other factors, but the fact that 84.4% of the OU list is at least neutral to Stealth Rocks is at the very least...
  9. New OU List

    Whoops. Fixed.
  10. Garchomp and this Metagame

    Slowbro off the top of my head for one. Celebi also poses a threat to BulkyDos I hear.
  11. Garchomp and this Metagame

    Which is better: Gyarados Domination or Garchomp? BulkyDos does a number on almost every iteration of Garchomp (except ChainChomp) as long as Stealth Rocks are not on the table. I'd personally rather face a Gyarados dominated metagame. He arguably has more counters than Garchomp.
  12. New OU List

    I'm curious how much longer its going to take before folks start to look seriously at banning Stealth Rock. Even Pokemon with the x2 Rock Weaknesses are in for serious hurt. BulkyDos would be a legitimate counter to Garchomp if you could only remove Stealth Rocks from the picture. EDIT IN...
  13. Garchomp and this Metagame

    There's always a lot of talk about banning Garchomp.... But I find myself wondering whether if Manaphy or the Twins came back from the Ubers would that solve the problem? I'd also wonder about Stealth Rocks. Stealth Rocks helps eliminate probably the best Garchomp counter in the game from...
  14. Salamence vs. Dragonite...

    Hello, I personally like using Dragonite over Salamence due to the flexibility and the potential for Dragon+Outrage to shut out an opponent once you effectively attack the likely counters. However, its hard to deny that Salamence is the easier pokemon to use. The higher base speed and...
  15. Analysis of Pokemon Usages: Which Pokemon were used by high-ranked players in May?

    Thanks for the work. Interesting to find that of the 6 on my current team, 5 are in the normal category and 1 in the Expert. I definitely should play more.
  16. ***[VOTE] The final Wobbuffet "discussion" thread***

    Hello, I'm all for returning him to the Uber tier. Comparing Wobbie to Dugtrio and Magnezone is a false comparison. Wobbie trap ability is much farther reaching than either Dugtrio's or Magnezone and Dugtrio and Magnezone are much more fragile, even against those Pokemon they trap. Adding in...
  17. GameStop Deoxys

    Mine didn't have it this weekend. I'll go next weekend.
  18. Smogon's Shoddy Battle Server to be released soon

    Ditto. Haven't opened Shoddy in a few months. This gives me a new reason to do so.
  19. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 12

    I tried Yache Berry for a while, and passed on it. In my experience using Dragonite, Dragonite comes in, they go to a pokemon with Ice beam and you DD on the switch. Now, if you want 2 Dragon Dances, you want Yache Berry for what comes next. I've found I only need one Dragon Dance most...
  20. Physical Defensive walls: Which do you prefer?

    I'm using Slowbro. He has a few problems, but a good recovery move, good defense and HP, etc... makes him a solid choice for my team. I can cover some of his weaknesses in other places on my team.
