  1. Stall in BW2

    This is only partially true. It won't make stall better in any objective way - It would still be the worse playstyle, but catch the opponent off-guard. It's like a gyarados with HP Fire - It's hilariously weak, but it MIGHT be worth it because you hit some stuff 4x effective who totally didn't...

  3. Bug Reports v2.0 (READ OP BEFORE POSTING!!)

    I have two bugs that aren't in the lists: 1. If you have a ditto equipped with choice scarf and just use transform instead of imposter, you can freely choose moves afterwards(Happened to me while facing another ditto).That's fun, but I doubt it's on purpose. 2.If I cancel a move and choose a...
  4. Stall in BW2

    Terrakion can be onehitted by Genesect with Flash Cannon, so even Terrakion can't change in savely and neither attack savely without a scarf, so it's quite a mediocre check imho. In fact, I tried it on a team mainly as a genesect-check and threw it out again because it was just too unreliable at...
  5. BW2 General Metagame Discussion Thread

    I don't understand why so many people claim Deoxys-D would centralise anything since it's place 49 in usage with under 5% . I also personally barely face it. I can relate to saying that it's too strong, though; With Genesect gone, it will definitely get a lot more viable, thus I'd say that he's...
  6. Gen 5 The OU Viability Ranking thread

    Imho, Hidden Power Ground is somewhat wasted on Jolteon because you forfeit the boltbeam-coverage with hidden power ice or the clean OHKO against water/ground as well as hitting rotom-w hard with hidden power grass. Also, Electric types in general aren't that common in OU. In terms of usage...
  7. Checks and Counters

    Oh, it seems I were somewhat overeager there. That is, in fact, much easier. The formula is margin[p_, n_,a_] = {p - z[(1-a/2)_] * Sqrt[p*(1 - p) / n], p + z[(1-a/2)_] * Sqrt[p*(1 - p) / n]} with the variables p := (f_i)/n ; n := n (arbitrary, but just to be clear here) and a := level of...
  8. Checks and Counters

    You could view these battles with one specific match-up as a set of tests you are running, and specific outcomes can be chosen as either "success" or "failure" (at countering the pokemon, that is). If you do this, it would be quite easy to give you a decent estimate of the success-rate + a...
  9. Fighting the Flow

    So far, nobody used rock polish on genesect against me, but instead usually the choice scarf set, which is easily beaten by Latios & often just racks up hazard damage until everything can kill it, so I didn't really thought about it as such a big threat, to be honest. In fact, I simply forgot...
  10. Fighting the Flow

    It's seems you doesn't know what Anti-Meta means. It means simply that you use pokemon which are especially strong against the pokemon who are most used - it doesn't say anything about how common they are themselves, and it's of no interest for me, to be honest. I had teams with half uu, half ou...

    Since nobody answered for nearly a day now, bump!
  12. Salamence Best Ever

    Sieht für mich so aus, als wärst du ziemlich schwach gegen Sun-teams; Starke geboostete Feuerattacken können die Hälfte deines Teams (Celebi, Xatu, Magnezone) OHKOen und Gengar 2HKOen, während Landorus und Salamence nicht viel gegen Chlorophyll-Sweeper machen können(eigtl kann jeder...
  13. Fighting the Flow

    Thank you for your input, your changes definitely seem to make sense, I'll try them out next time! But I have some question/comments on them: You're completely right with the weakness against politoed and the therians, and your change to rotom obviously helps against politoed and tornadus. But...
  14. Fighting the Flow

    Admittedly, I've never been a person who was willing to spend copious amounts of times learning a game, though I'm still determined on being good at them. This is a rather complicated combination, so I tried to find an "easy" way to win at most games, and this search was successful: Anti-Meta...
