    The UU Viability Ranking Thread

    Leading with a scarfed Pokmeon vs. a Froslass is the best way to get your Scarfer paralyzed. So Froslass will Paralyze the fastest member of your team, and get at least one layer of spikes. Probably two layers, because now that you're slower and the Froslass player knows you're scarfed you'll...

    Pokemon Jams

    I can't get enough of the HG/SS remix of the battle against Red. So bad ass. It gets my adrenaline pumping every time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSKxTqDvsas

    Let's Play! Normal Type Only Run - HGSS

    Rattata is great to start you off. Gets Bite very early for beating your rival, and you can also easily beat Morty with Raticate (just make sure you keep a non-attacking move, sucker punch works when you're asleep and try to attack).

    The UU Viability Ranking Thread

    You make some good arguments here. For some reason I'd thought that Kingdra's sub could handle a DTail 100% of the time, but the damage calculator tells me I'm wrong so that's fair enough. Slowking can take neutral special hits decently, but the problem with that is Slowking is naturally weak to...

    The UU Viability Ranking Thread

    I just can't see Slowking in A rank to be honest. It may have the same stats except the switched defenses as Slowbro, but it's vastly inferior in this metagame and the two of them should not be sharing a rank. Slowking is great in RU. It's a great stop to the majority of special attackers in...

    Hardest Relative NPC

    Ok I don't have a specific NPC, but actually a whole group of them. Round 2 of the Gym Leader Tower in the original Pokemon Stadium. Without using Amnesia Mewtwo or cheats... holy hell it's hard. I hadn't played in over ten years, then decided I'd build a team and do it for shits and giggles...

    Pokemon Fire Red Omega In-Game Discussion/Tiering

    Well that's fantastic. Thought I'd figured out a way to save and closed it... I was wrong. In any case, got up to Misty but hadn't battled her yet. Magmar is insane. The Treecko I got was Modest, so it was able to hold it's own quite well. If you use it, give it the Bullet Seed TM in Mt. Moon...

    Pokemon Fire Red Omega In-Game Discussion/Tiering

    I'm about an hour into my playthrough. Doing it Nuzlocke esque (I can catch whatever I want, still one per route, and fainting equals dying. Just wanted to be able to have my pick of the new wild Pokemon) After Brock I'm sitting with Magby, Grovyle, and whatever this egg is that I'm holding...

    The UU Viability Ranking Thread

    Speed boost, coupled with good attacking stats and decent STABs make Sharpedo A Rank. The thing that sets him apart is in the late game, if you let him come in and KO a weakened wall it's pretty much over. He'll protect as your scarfer (who would have saved you from other A and S rank threats...

    The Most Facepalm Worthy Thing You Have Done in All of Pokémon

    This didn't happen in a game but I think it counts. Red and Blue came out when I was in elementary school and everyone was crazy about the games and, of course, the trading cards. Everyone wanted to get a Charizard card. Well I met a kid at the park one time and he offered to trade me his...

    Pokemon RBY In-Game Tiers - Mark III

    Drowzee Shouldn't the combination of the Dream Eater TM and Hypnosis be at least mentioned in the Drowzee analysis? Yes, it's awful competitively but we all know the AI won't switch out. You can get it as soon as you have Fly (or very early if you make the trip to get Flash), and it really ups...

    np: UU Stage 11 - Apocalypse Please

    I'm with you on this one Godsend. I'm very happy with the tier right now. Nothing really feels overpowered, even with the insane attacking stats of some of the Pokemon running around since we've got equally fantastic walls/tanks. I don't see why we'd need another suspect test until something new...

    UU Dark Horse Project

    Well I'm gonna be dropping out, at least with Victreebel and Cressilia. Sun has been a ton of fun to use, but I'm sitting at 1741 with a 43 and 13 record.... which is about 140 ACRE from being in the top 50. Definitely don't have to motivation to continue with this team. Both my dark horses...

    The Next Best Thing...

    Pokemazters Metal Sound set. Tried it out for a bit with Froslass laying spikes and it worked pretty damn well. Raikou really appreciated Snorlax taking all that hazard damage.

    Research Week Mk. III #1

    Probably not gonna participate this week, but I've used Poliwrath in the past and it was pretty good. The ability to switch into Scalds with impunity was great, and since Focus Punch hits before Roar there wasn't much of anything that bulky waters could do back except Toxic. So that being said...

    The UU Viability Ranking Thread

    Despite the fact that most UU players are prepared for Heracross it's still definitely S-Rank. It does have ways to get past it's counters in the early and mid-game with prediction, but mainly once it nabs a Moxie boost or two (which we all know is not at all difficult late-game) those checks...

    Hey so I've actually got some spare time tonight. Would you be ready to battle in about 45 minutes? If not no worries, we'll work something out for another night.
