  1. OU making adv better, aka dealing with gengar and replacing restalk zap

    Sceptile's a cool mon to use in sandstorm spikes teams now that SpDef RestTalk Zapdos has all but disappeared. Can't really take hits at all but it's easy to double switch in against Tyranitar and Swampert which are on every team and go to town. Fast SubSeed is really hard for a lot of teams to...

  5. Gen 1 RBY OU Warstory (Dre vs Jorgen)

    Dre didn't have Egg but I was thinking the same thing.
  6. Top Tier Pokemon

    Tyranitar, Celebi, Suicune, and Gengar are the best because they have incredible offensive and defensive utility, as well as a huge variety of viable sets. Gengar is definitely S-tier for its role as the only really viable spinblocker in a spikes-based metagame. If you have spikes, you have...
  7. Top Tier Pokemon

    Bulky water choice depends on the team. Slowbro is largely outclassed by Suicune. Despite its great movepool, Slowbro really doesn't have room in its moveset for all of them. You need Surf (obviously), Ice Beam (for Salamence), Rest (if you want to have any longevity), which leaves you only...
  8. Gengar [full revamp] (Stage 1)

    Because Dusclops is vulnerable to spikes, set-up fodder, and one-dimensional. Gengar is always a threat.
  9. Top Tier Pokemon

    Quick comparison of bulky waters in their defensive roles. Swampert: Rock resist, so it can switch in against Tyranitar/Aerodactyl more easily and doesn't run the risk of losing to a well-timed flinch. Sandstorm immunity provides passive recovery in the ubiquitous sand. Also pretty much hard...
  10. Gengar [full revamp] (Stage 1)

    Gengar is predominantly used as a spinblocker so you need it to stay alive and keep spikes up. Being bulky lets you switch in more easily, and even without many EVs its Special Attack and Speed are sufficient for all intents and purposes. About Will-o-wisp, you typically use it on something...
  11. RoA Speed CCAT - [DONE]

    Will-o-wisp as the main answer to Snorlax is shaky at best and will bite you in the ass 1/4 of the time. Additionally, any powerful choice bander will tear up this team with good prediction, but such is the nature of an offensive team, especially one based around Moltres which has minimal...
  12. RoA Speed CCAT - [DONE]

    Going by Sir's most recent version of the team, the Suicune weakness seems to have been traded for a slightly smaller Suicune weakness and a much greater DD Salamence and Aerodactyl weakness. With Porygon2 gone, too much of the defensive burden has been placed on Metagross, which was supposed to...
  13. Metagross [full revamp] (Stage 1)

    I think the mixed Metagross set is worth a mention. It's very good against teams based around Tyranitar/Forretress/Gengar, being a very good Forretress lure. (EVs can probably be changed) Metagross @ LeftoversTrait: Clear Body EVs: 188 HP / 160 Atk / 160 SAtk Brave Nature (+Atk, -Spd) - Meteor...
  14. RoA Speed CCAT - [DONE]

    Metagross lead is free spikes, which is terrible for a spinner-less team, so lead with Gengar as Sir suggested. With some spikes up, Salamence/Aerodactyl/etc. can easily break through Porygon2. Also lead Suicune can be dangerous (both offensive CM and especially CM roar), so you really don't...
  15. All Gens The Most Dominant Pokemon in History - #9-10 Position Debate

    Jellicent, if we use your idea of basing this list on a Pokemon's entire history, this list would need to be completely restructured. IIRC, the main reason Snorlax beat out Tyranitar for #1 was that it actually existed in Gen 1. Also, this is extremely biased toward dominant newer-gen Pokemon...
  16. All Gens The Most Dominant Pokemon in History - #9-10 Position Debate

    Still of the opinion that Blissey should be over Raikou. IMO: GSC Raikou is #3, Blissey is top 20 ADV Raikou is top 20, Blissey is #6 DPP Raikou is top 40-50, Blissey is top 20, maybe higher
  17. All Gens The Most Dominant Pokemon in History - #9-10 Position Debate

    Though Raikou is undisputably better than Blissey in GSC, Raikou isn't close to comparable to Blissey in ADV, being maybe top 20 whereas Blissey is easily top 6. From my limited experience in DPP, Blissey is also far better there as a hard wall to the immensely powerful special attackers of the...
  18. All Gens The Most Dominant Pokemon in History - #9-10 Position Debate

    Not really, Blissey >>> Raikou in ADV. Raikou is a pretty bad defensively; it gets worn down with spikes, sandstorm, and no reliable recovery to check things like Gengar, and can only at best force a Calm Mind war with things like offensive Jirachi and Celebi, which CM Bliss can beat handily. It...
