    ORAS OU It was his hat Mr. Krabs! He was number one! (Sand Offense)

    Tyranitar is my absolute favorite Pokemon and I want to fit him on as many teams as I can. After some trial and error, I shrugged and decided to put together a Sand team because it made the best possible use of him. This is my first RMT, so if I'm doing anything wrong, feel free to inform me...

    Other Creative / Underrated Sets Thread (Read the thread, NO SHITTY GIMMICKS)

    This probably is a shitty gimmick but I thought of a hilarious Smeargle set for the 3v3 Battle Spot meta: Smeargle @ Choice Scarf Ability: Own Tempo EVs: 252 Spd / 252 HP / 4 Def Jolly Nature - Spore - Super Fang - Heal Bell/Trick - Haze/Trick Spore something->Spread it across your opponent's...

    Pokémon Deoxys-Speed

    If that's the case, then maybe a more offensive version of my set would work for that purpose: Deoxys-Speed @ Leftovers Ability: Pressure EVs: 140 Spd / 190 HP / 180 Atk Adamant Nature - Thunder Wave/Taunt - Stealth Rock - Ice Punch - Superpower 140 Spd allows Deoxys to outspeed +1 base 81's...

    Pokémon Deoxys-Speed

    Man-Jensen (Deoxys-Speed) @ Leftovers Ability: Pressure Shiny: Yes EVs: 252 Spd / 252 HP / 4 SAtk Timid Nature - Thunder Wave - Stealth Rock - Ice Beam - Taunt This is the set I currently run. Deoxys-D might do this better but that fast as fuck Taunt has been so good. Deoxys is one of my...

    Pokémon Great to Hate

    I never really hated any Pokemon I loved but I've liked using Metagross progressively less ever since gen 3.

    Your First Battle

    It was so long ago, I just remember being bad. I also remember the awful feeling of getting swept by a Baton Pass Ninjask team the first time and the disappointment when it didn't work as easily when I tried it. Then I got better than all of my similarly terrible friends and later RQed when I...

    Pokémon Goodra [REVAMP]

    I've been trying out something like this and I like it quite a lot, but I have a stallier EV setup: Goodra @ Damp Rock/Leftovers Ability: Hydration EVs: 204 SDef / 236 HP / 68 SAtk Modest Nature - Draco Meteor - Thunder - Rain Dance - Rest It'd obviously get walled pretty hard by Ferrothorn...

    At what point could the OU Metagame said to have failed?

    I think when most people say that they mean relative to the total amount of Pokemon. While it's true, it's not a measure of variation whatsoever- if only 15 Pokemon were used, but they each had 10 different viable, good movesets, it'd probably be more varied than 50 Pokemon with only 2 movesets...

    At what point could the OU Metagame said to have failed?

    I was just talking pure numbers (which is also a dishonest measure, as you pointed out) especially considering that the number of OU pokemon relative to the total number seemed to almost be inversely proportional to the overall variety of the generation. The exception to this is gen 4 (and maybe...

    At what point could the OU Metagame said to have failed?

    It seems mathematically dishonest to call B/W the most varied metagame based purely on the amount; it should be done based on the proportional number, imo. Gen 1- 10.5% Gen 2- 9% Gen 3- 6.99% Gen 4- 9.7% Gen 5- 7.7% So proportional to the amount of Pokemon in the game itself, gen 5 was...

    Other Item Clause

    This is a really good comparison- the same people who encourage "diversity" in Yu-Gi-Oh are generally the worst players. The moment you seriously blame something other than yourself for losing is the moment you become a scrub, no matter how "good" you are or other people see you. Let creativity...

    Other Good Cores

    Parashuffling might actually be better for the scenario of vsing a Mega Lucario, as a Bullet Punch is likely to ruin your day. You'd have to hit the good end of the RNG to not get KOed the next turn, assuming the bulky set I posted, but there's still a chance, unlike with a defenseless set...

    Other Good Cores

    I thought of this too, and ran a few calcs to see how effective it is. Dragonite @ Leftovers Ability: Multiscale EVs: 252 HP / 60 SDef / 60 Def / 136 Spd Jolly Nature - Dragon Tail - Roost - Fire Punch - Dragon Dance This set is mostly fueled by paranoia over the mega evos, so it's just an...

    Other Is Weather Still Viable?

    Quick question, does T-Tar's Sand Stream reactivate if you mega evolve when sand is down? I think that might have some interesting applications.
