  1. Ladder ORAS 1v1 [3v3 Team Preview]

    I have been using perish song teams since 2010. It's a great move. It's a powerful move. It punishes protect spamming, wall-spamming, sub-spamming cheese. It has a large opportunity cost (forces YOU to switch out which HURTS LIKE HELL if your opponent has spikes or rocks set-up or you pick the...
  2. Other ORAS Egg/Tutor Moves + General Theorymon Thead

    Ariados: Megahorn (egg).
  3. Metagame ORAS RU: Speculation Thread

    Steelix isn't going to lose its ground typing, according to a certain leak. I doubted it would. It's undeniably worse than Aggron - worse typing, worse offense, worse ability... Very few positives. Beedrill is amazing, though will probably not see that much use - his offensive capabilities...

    Nope. Baleted.
  5. Ladder Monotype [Read post #393 for Tiering Updates]

    They were allowed. I don't know why that changed. I personally don't like wildcards, but they do make certain monos workable.
  6. Ladder Monotype [Read post #393 for Tiering Updates]

    I would say, that as someone who plays monotype a lot (well, on and off), I like it because it forces everyone to act like a "gym leader" - and I like it when everyone is forced to adhere to a specific code of ethics when building their team (I'd just as much like to see a mode where certain...

    Thanks for the response. It was mainly a joke idea, but if I were to ever implement it, I would never suggest it go on a Smogon/PS server. It would have to reside on its own server for the tree AI searching stuff, I know that much, it's computationally heavy after a few look-aheads.
  8. Pokémon Ferrothorn

    I just wanted to nerdrage here - I hate Ferrothorn with a flaming passion. He ruins every single game for me. First of all, Leech Seed is fucking annoying no matter who it's on. But when you put it on a pokemon which is basically immune to physical attacks, god damn, is it just the fucking...

    So I had a funny idea I wanted to share. I don't have the time to implement this (and probably not the fortitude either), but I thought it might tickle someone as amusing. 1. Write an autoit script (or in javascript?) so that a program can play Pokemon Showdown by interacting with the UI. 2...
  10. XY OU Suspect Process, Round 3 - BATON PASS [READ POST #590]

    I can't believe we're going to ban baton pass. Seriously? http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-123784800 These strategies are so bloody transparent it's disgusting. Does no one carry priority taunt, perish song, whirlwind, unaware, et cetera? Baton Pass hasn't changed at all this gen, if...
  11. OU Singles - A Game of Traps

    Thanks for the advice, I tried M-Tar, but I'm trying out Entei right now instead.
  12. OU Singles - A Game of Traps

    I want to start this post by saying a few things: 1) This isn't a gimmick team. 1.5) Yes, this is an Entrain+Truant+Trap team. 2) This isn't a team I just started using five minutes ago. I used it last gen too, though I've made a few alterations this gen. I've reached 1675~ just using this team...
  13. Baton Pass - its role in the metagame and possible solutions to nerf full Baton Pass chains

    Nothing has changed from this gen and the last gen in regards to BP besides Scoliopede getting SpeedBoost. If we're really going to have a 95 page thread on a mechanic which has been fine for as long as we've had SR, just ban Scoliopede w/ SpeedBoost. The end. Scrubs can quit whining and the...
  14. Baton Pass - its role in the metagame and possible solutions to nerf full Baton Pass chains

    My team is built around durant+truant+entrain, nothing else really. It's pretty easy to beat a team that counters BP. Like, I always have some combo of WW or Perish or priority Taunt... There are so many damn ways to counter BP this thread just doesn't make sense to me. You even get an...
  15. Baton Pass - its role in the metagame and possible solutions to nerf full Baton Pass chains

    If he has Mr. Mime all I need is fake out + knock off from Hitmonlee, I dunno how that helps his team. Also, all you need is perish song to beat a BP team. Mr. Mime is so niche... I've never even seen one in OU since this gen started.
  16. Baton Pass - its role in the metagame and possible solutions to nerf full Baton Pass chains

    My team can beat any batonpass team, even if they know the gimmick. http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-115986443 Stop trying to restrict people who play this game further -- banning BP is just going to make this game overall less fun. Just get good. Adapt. Stop forcing the metagame with such...
  17. Programming Solo Project

    Thank you for the suggestions. I really want to hold back from type changing, and Masquerain does have wings so I really would like to keep him flying-typed. There is merit in your idea - but just to defend Surskit at the moment, he would differ greatly from Politoed, able to bring in rain and...
  18. Programming Solo Project

    Thanks for the suggestions. I have no intentions of buffing the crit rates of under-used abilities, but I do hope to create situations that make these under-used abilities more useful. Cross Poison / Drill Run have no excuse being so bad though. It's a shame.
  19. Gengarite Tiering Discussion [read post #383]

    What I don't understand is why we aren't talking about Protect's role in all of this. For MGengar to get off a Perish Trap it needs to 1) use Perish Song 2) Protect 3) Protect a second time in a row 4) Switch out to a "safe" pokemon If MGengar is doing all 4 of these actions and you cannot...
  20. Gengarite Tiering Discussion [read post #383]

    Moltres comes in on SR and takes 50% of its life. Ferrothorn uses Twave when it switches in and can switch out freely. If your definition of counter is 'forced a switch' then fine, but my definition is 'forced a switch without incurring significant loss'. That Moltres is pretty much unusable at...
