  1. The UU Viability Ranking Thread

    Just want to say that I really love this post's format and the way it gives both the pro's and the con's of the pokemon being discussed to show that the poster fully understands what the pokemon is capable of as well as its limitation and why they believe a higher ranking is or isn't achievable...
  2. The UU Viability Ranking Thread

    I was just about to mention this! This is a really good idea that would hopefully lead to more thoughtful discussion regarding tier placement.
  3. Ballad of the Storm - a UU Rain Team

    Hey there! I don't have the time right now to give a proper rate/analysis but I just want to say that unless you plan on running Aura Sphere on Raikou then there is no need for a Rash Nature. I'm guessing it might have had Aura Sphere in the past so you probably forgot to change it.
  4. Counter this threat - Threat 2 : Kingdra

    LOL that made my day. On a similar note, you spelled my name as "Cassel" in the "checks and counters" list for Raikou, rather than Cassen =p
  5. Anna Molly [Peaked #1]

    Hey, this is a good looking team! Very nice selection of offensive cores; it's like a mix between bulky-offensive and hyper-offense all in one. The only suggestion I have is for Slowbro, who's moveset I would change by trading Trick with Grass Knot or Focus Blast. I know this Slowbro is not...
  6. The Next Best Thing...

    Pokemazter's Metal Sound Zapdos gets my vote!I think a wrote a few paragraphs about his set already but basically the ability to get past Umbreon, Snorlax, and Porygon2 with Metal Sound is extremely helpful, as well as allowing Zapdos' other special-attacking partners to have an easier time...
  7. Counter this threat - Threat 2 : Kingdra

    This here is one of the six pokemon I have on my team that I use as a sort of catch-all special tank, who was given this moveset and EV spread to reliably take on all variants of both Zapdos and Raikou: Porygon2 @ Eviolite Trait: Trace EVs: 252 HP / 12 SAtk / 244 SDef Quiet Nature IVs: 0...
  8. The Next Best Thing...

    Aww, crap it only has 85% accuracy? Not 100%? This changes things...(for the worse). Regardless, the set still seems interesting, and I'm still curious about the EV spread that was given.
  9. The Next Best Thing...

    Props to Metal Sound Zapdos, Pokemazter! It reminds me of the monster that was Fake Tears Jolteon back from DDP, which I used to run to great effect back when I played it. One of the things I like about Zapdos over Jolteon is that Zapdos has life much easier defensively thanks to it's...
  10. Speedy Speedy Speed Speed POW!

    Crobat isn't a grounded poison-type pokemon, so he can't absorb toxic spikes for the team.
  11. The Next Best Thing...

    Haha, you're right about that morningsun. Both moves do nearly the same amount of damage on Snorlax. 252+ SpA Life Orb Mew Psyshock vs. 144 HP / 188 Def Snorlax: 173-204 (34.8 - 41.04%) -- 65.33% chance to 3HKO 252+ SpA Life Orb Mew Aura Sphere vs. 144 HP / 176+ SpD Snorlax: 169-200 (34 -...
  12. The Next Best Thing...

    Pretty good set, scorpdestroyer. I would suggest changing Psychic to Psyshock instead in order to deal with Snorlax better, though.
  13. Darwinian Theory: UU Edition Round 2

    A replay of the battle would be much appreciated this time around. Good luck to both battlers!
  14. Ask a Simple Question, Get a Simple Answer - UU Edition

    Very impressive set, Warb! Thank you for it; I will try it out and see how it fairs. EDIT: Eeletrokiss is something I also hadn't considered either, so thanks Kokoloko. I'll mess with the EV's to fit certain benchmarks. As for Umbreon, Baton pass is something I can definitely work with since...
  15. Ask a Simple Question, Get a Simple Answer - UU Edition

    Is there a pokemon that can reliably counter/check both Zapdos and Raikou while also having access to either U-turn or Volt Switch?
  16. The Next Best Thing...

    LO Scrafty has a lot of 2HKO potential without any boosts, and with Super Fang, many of them become OHKO's even without SR Damage. (Scrafty) @ Life Orb Trait: Intimidate EVs: 252 HP / 56 Atk / 180 Def / 20 Spd Adamant Nature - Super Fang - Drain Punch - Crunch - Ice Punch/Dragon Tail/Taunt...
