  1. Hydreigon

    ^ Tyranitar is in the Monster egg group, not Dragon. I used a set similar to Lee's to some success (mainly in breaking the Burunkeru/Nattorei combo): Sazandora @ Expert Belt Modest, 252 SpA/252 Speed -Draco Meteor -Flamethrower -Dark Pulse -U-turn I forgo Taunt and hence the ability to screw...
  2. Excadrill

    Return allows Doryuuzu to hit Rotom-W, Randorosu, Gliscor, and Birijion, all of whom don't take much from Rock Slide or X-Scissor. Really, the only reason why you would run X-Scissor would be to hit Celebi and Shaymin, and even then both take a lot of damage from Return (a +2 LO Jolly Return...
  3. What do you miss most from the Gen. I era?

    This. I also miss how Tauros was such a badass mofo. I miss Tobybro, I miss Hyper Beam's effect of no recharge once you killed something, I miss Blizzard's amazing 90% accuracy... I miss RBY.
  4. Excadrill

    Having used Doryuuzu for a few matches, I can safely say that it is fucking awesome. It rips holes even without a Swords Dance, thanks to its superb Attack. And with the Speed boost provided by Sandstorm, you're going to have to depend on priority for the most part to take it down. Roobushin...
  5. Hydreigon

    Except that it doesn't get Pursuit
  6. Lucario

    With the Rotom formes having lost their Ghost-typing, Lucario can now slaughter them with a boosted ExtremeSpeed or Close Combat. For instance, a +2 Adamant LO ExtremeSpeed does 86.36% - 102.07% on a 6 HP/0 Def Choice Scarf/Choice Specs Timid Rotom, a OHKO more than 92% of the time provided...
  7. Samurott

    Actually, shipship is correct. Both Smogon Damage Calculator and Libelldra give 95% - 111.9% on a +2 LO Megahorn from 100 base Attack, which is a guaranteed OHKO with Stealth Rock in play.
  8. Haxorus

    A possible merit for SD Ononokusu over Dragon Dance is that a +2 Adamant LO Brick Break can OHKO Max/Max Impish Nattorei more than 50% of the time, with SR in play: 864 Atk vs 397 Def & 352 HP (75 Base Power): 306 - 360 (86.93% - 102.27%) This becomes a 100% guarantee if you include a Rivalry...
  9. Excadrill

    810 Atk vs 368 Def & 420 HP (100 Base Power): 306 - 361 (72.86% - 85.95%) That's a Life Orb boosted +2 Earthquake on 252 HP/252 Def Impish Hippowdon, and it won't OHKO even with Stealth Rock. So Hippo can switch in as the mole SD's, and threaten with its own Earthquake. Of course, the mole...
  10. Hydreigon

    I'm curious what people think of running Dark Pulse on Sazandora. Since Dark Pulse and Earth Power together is illegal, one would have to choose between STAB and getting good coverage with Earth Power. What with all the new users of Justice Heart (+1 Attack when hit by a Dark-type move, used...
  11. Hydreigon

    Without a doubt, the Hydra is my favorite out of all the Gen 5 monsters. 92/90/90 defenses are great for an offensive Pokemon; in perspective, Swampert has 100/90/90 defenses. Dark/Dragon coupled with Levitate affords two immunities and several resistances; unlike Ononokusu, it should be...
  12. What Pokemon do you think is going to have the most effect in BW?

    It's too early to tell which Pokemon is going to have a major effect, but I expect Nasty Plot/Vacuum Wave/Aura Sphere/Shadow Ball Lucario to rip holes in the metagame. Lucario even gets a new ability in the form of Justice Heart, which could be very promising. Coupled with its Swords Dance and...
  13. Lightningrod

    Volt Absorb heals, while LightningRod seems to be the Electric version of Flash Fire.
  14. Dragons of Generation 5

    Lack of immunity to any type is going to hurt Ononokusu, and if it tries to sweep with Dragon Dance, it can be threatened by its faster Dragon brethren holding a Choice Scarf. Choice Band/Scarf is probably the way to go for this dragon; Swords Dance might also work as a wallbreaker of sorts (+2...
  15. Base Stats of New Pokemon

    Unfortunately, it's confirmed that Kibago learns Dragon Dance.
  16. Base Stats of New Pokemon

    Anyone disappointed by the Afrobull's stats? 95/95/95 defenses are great, but the 55 Speed is a letdown, as is the unspectacular base 100 attack. Here's hoping Herbivore makes it useful...
  17. Pokemon Black and White (SPECULATIONS ALLOWED HERE)

    Anyone want to speculate on the stat distribution of the Dark/Dragon pseudo-legendary? I'm predicting 80/135/90/100/90/105. Faster than Garchomp, but with not as broken STABs, so hopefully it would balance it in the end.
  18. Pokemon Black and White (SPECULATIONS ALLOWED HERE)

    Since we have Godzilla in Pokemon form (Tyranitar), it's only logical that we get King Ghidorah as well...
  19. Pokemon Black and White (SPECULATIONS ALLOWED HERE)

    It wouldn't be the first time Game Freak has set a game in the future. GSC took place 3 years after RBY, and trading between the games involved a time machine. What with Isshu looking modern and futuristic, I wouldn't be surprised if it was set a 1000 or so years into the future.
