    np: ORAS UU Stage 4 - Go with the Flow

    Thing is that even the CM set doesn't usually sweep anything, it mainly checks things and uses CM as something to threaten bulky defenders on the other side so they can't just whittle it down or PP stall. Sylveon's recovery is worse so it can't really check as often, but it CAN and WILL sweep...

    np: ORAS UU Stage 4 - Go with the Flow

    It will definitely be interesting to see how well she performs given that Florges is so damn good right now. I know I'll be excited to try it out.

    ORAS UU Viability Ranking Thread M3 (READ POST #823)

    I never said they played the same role, just that they were both defensive Pokemon in general. They wall different things, they have different support abilities, but when comparing pure power level (i.e. "How good at its job is this compared to one another?" Florges just appears to be better at...

    Not sure I'd trade walling the majority of the tier + Aromatherapy + higher SpA and SpD + More reliable recovery for Roar and Pressure. I'll make the case with some calcs later, right now I have some other shit I have to do.

    ORAS UU Viability Ranking Thread M3 (READ POST #823)

    Just a question: what's the rationale between Suicune being S and Florges not?

    ORAS UU: The Next Best Thing V2 (Toxicroak - Submission Stage)

    Eh, true enough, I just wanted an excuse to do the John Cena joke.

    ORAS UU: The Next Best Thing V2 (Toxicroak - Submission Stage)

    John Cena @ Life Orb Ability: Intimidate EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Knock Off - Earthquake - Pursuit - Smack Down So a lot of people that swap into Krook swap in some flying/Levitating threat to dodge EQ. Smack Down lets you guaranteed kill Hydregidon with EQ, Salamence after...

    ORAS UU Blast from the Past

    Updated with some changes. Whimsicott I kind of like over Crobat actually, but then my team is so Fire weak that it's insane. The Blastoise EV spread was a good idea, Thick Fat was something I just forgot to do, I prefer Adamant Crobat simply because those 2 speed ties really don't matter, but...

    It was already, I was just copypasting the form and forgot to change it, whoops ><

    ORAS UU Blast from the Past

    I did a lot of battling back on Shoddy in the old DPPt days, but I haven't really played since then. I recently got Omega Ruby and it rekindled my love for competitive battling, so I made a UU team and have been tweaking it a bit. I've played about ~30-40 games with it and am bouncing between...

    np: ORAS UU Stage 4 - Go with the Flow

    I dunno, I'm having a blast with SubSeed Shaymin. Today has been my first day playing on Shoddy Pokemon Showdown in ~5 years and UU is still fun. Then again, I'm running Shaymin/Crobat which was the bane of my existence when I first started playing (and they both got BL pretty soon after).

    So just nobody ever ran Encore, Haze, Clear Smog, Unaware Clefable, fast Taunt, Perish Song Celebi, or Roar/Whirlwind? Guess Prankster really did break BP. Thanks for the answers guys! One more question: Have weather teams been banned or are they just bad? Most of the great Rain (Kingdra...

    Resource ORAS OU Simple Questions, Simple Answers MKII (Read the OP First!) (Now with 100% more Rules!!!)

    From someone who hasn't been in the loop for years and is coming back: Why is so much random shit banned in OU now? Baton Pass teams are banned, Greninja is banned, Shaymin-S is banned, Landorus is banned, Aegislash is banned, a bunch of mega-evolutions are banned...I mean I'm assuming some...

    np: UU Stage 9 - Welcome Home

    I'm so incredibly bored enough that I've reactivated my WoW account on a trial basis, reinstalled Alpha Centauri and Heroes 2, and am downloading Pokemon Online Showdown (my have we come far from Shoddy). How's my old UU doing? It's good to be home. That said, one must remain topical, so I'd...

    VGC '12 Southern Plains Regional - Houston, TX - Won by Alaka & LPFan!

    I haven't played seriously in...~2 years now, but since this is my hometown, I might try to go to this one if I have time to figure out the RNG bullshit before the tourney happens. And now back to studying for midterms.

    np: UU Suspect Test Round 1 - Sunny Days

    Even if it's packing Ice Beam, Slowbro misses the OHKO on Altaria even with no EV investment in defense. Altaria can just DD and Roost (which makes it 2x instead of 4x meaning there's no way in hell it 2HKOs on a Roost turn) away.

    Trick Room in UU

    I only ever ran a TR team once, but there have been an influx of very powerful pokes with crappy speed stats this gen, so it can only get better. Possible abusers: Rampardos: With Mold Breaker Quakeedge in the form of EQ and Head Smash, he gets unresisted coverage. The addition of Hammer Arm...

    If your lead lets Uxie get both screens and a memento up, you're the kind of person that lost to Linoone teams in Gen 4.

    How does this deal with opposing subbers, though? Especially stuff like Sub/Punch Azumarril or Hitmontop that also have priority. Azumarril can come in on Gorebyss, sub up as it either subs, bpasses, or shell breaks, and either OHKO it, break the sub of whatever comes in and likely OHKO it...

    Prankster Sableye beats it with Taunt. Why in God's name you'd run Sableye otherwise, I dunno, but it beats it.
