  1. Infrequently Used Moves

    Sing is a good mention for those high risk players. It gets power from being learned by Pokemon who people don't expect to use a sleep move (Blissey). Although 55% accuracy is depressing, considering Hypnosis is 60% now, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw it more. Oh, and Skill Swap. In the old...
  2. Evasion: Hit or Miss?

    Start crying. I may have worded my post badly, but you help prove the point I was trying to make. Like rain teams, double team teams could have the power to become devastating. And, like rain dance teams, their effectiveness could be severely nerfed by a single move/Pokemon (Haze). If most...
  3. Evasion: Hit or Miss?

    Oh my gosh, thank you MaskedNitpicker. One of the reasons I'm tempted to take hours out of my life to build a good wi-fi team is because shoddy for me has become to predictable. I try out some "gimmicky" off the beaten path strategies to keep it interesting. I don't want to sell out and build...
  4. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 16

    Did anything happen to jrrrrrrr?
  5. Evasion: Hit or Miss?

    Well nothing's perfect of course when it comes to polls. Maybe a better idea instead of taking a poll right off the back if there is testing is to have a discussion. That's what's kind of happening with the new UU testing right? Evasion would probably be a broad change so maybe it would be a...
  6. Evasion: Hit or Miss?

    I support testing (as should be apparent if you've read any of my previous posts) but how the tests should be judged makes things complicated. If evasion Gliscor or to a lesser extent Cacturne, Glacion, and Froslass are extremelly effective and overcentralize the metagame by requiring users of...
  7. Evasion: Hit or Miss?

    Sarcasm... I don't have a problem with Dragon Dance. I was using it as an example of how people could over-exhagerrate a moveset.
  8. Evasion: Hit or Miss?

    I don't see why we're so worried about evasion so much. I think dragon dance is a much bigger problem. I mean, with one move and a Pokemon can outspeed a lot of it's counters and has an extra attack stat to use! Imagine how deadly a dragon dance Gyrados could be with a set like (Dragon Dance...
  9. Evasion: Hit or Miss?

    Bolded parts the things I had problems with. First paragraph: Sure, a lot of things could exchange moves, but would they want to? With an agility a metagross can combat most everything and has explosion for things it doesn't. With a doubleteam... It can avoid it's counter about 10-20% of the...
  10. Evasion: Hit or Miss?

    Being haxed out of a win is always frustrating. But this isn't an automatic hax button. Double team takes a turn to use. Set up turns are generally used when you know the opponent is gonna switch. In this fast paced game a turn means a lot. What else can you do with a turn? Boost your stats to...
  11. Been a while since I posted here (Uber RMT)

    Well I've played ubers a bit and this looks like a pretty good team. Good job for realizing the danger of a darkrai lead, I use trick or treat set of darkrai and I consider it the best lead in ubers (barring of course the counter lead). Considering this is an all offense team I would need...
  12. [New UU Warstory] Cro-tomb vs Cro-Steelix

    Pretty good warstory. I do enjoy seeing Cloyster being used effectively. The end kind of sucked though even though I'm sure it was tense to those actually playing.
  13. More Thoughts on Stealth Rock

    It might be. I actually started a discussion thread on those moves and it got moved to policy review where I can't comment on it :pirate:. But my two cents is evasion and OHKO I feel aren't banned because they are broken, more because several people feel it makes the game unenjoyable. Moves...
  14. Rate My Team(bolded parts need help)

    Now I don't know about how he works on this team, but I personally never found Dusclops to be very effective unless he was breaking spin attempts, especially on a spikes team. Not to say he isn't a tough Pokemon, but you can usually find better sturdy attackers. But if you feel he's working...
  15. More Thoughts on Stealth Rock

    Overcentralizing? Stealth rock maybe one of the most commonly used move on most teams but it's a move, not a pokemon. Ice beam and earthquake can probably also be found on most teams. I think just because stealth rock is as common as McDonalds doesn't mean it's overcentralizing. Plenty of...
  16. OHKO and Accuracy, lets discuss.

    I've never had a particularly strong urge to use any OHKO sets or annoyers, but I really disagree that they should be banned. I just want to see if anybody still is interested on these long settled clauses. OHKO: The main arguments I've heard against OHKO's is that it only takes luck and no...
  17. More Thoughts on Stealth Rock

    The focus sash argument can not be so easilly dismissed. How many Pokemon can successfully use fake out? Not a lot. And those who do use it can't switch in on something freely to stop it as they are usually to frail to do so (Ambipom, Technitop, Persian). The same with Spikes and weather...
  18. More Thoughts on Stealth Rock

    The impact a ban of stealth rock on stall teams would be devestating. Most teams have stealth rock as a staple, but stall teams rely on stealth rock. Stealth rock punishes flyers and levitaters and who dodge spikes and poison types who laugh at toxic spikes. In an offense based metagame...
  19. SkarmBliss issues? SpecsJolt will save you! {Warstory}

    I use the Skarmbliss combo too, and I always find that eventually Skarmory hits the point where he is just good for death fodder. But he does a lot of team playing before he hits that point though!
  20. More Thoughts on Stealth Rock

    Not to change the subject, but I never really saw why those moves were banned. Sure they're annoying, but also really risky to waste turns on moves that have a good chance on doing nothing. Back on topic, I really don't see the huge problem with stealth rock. Sure it's centralizing, but if...
