  1. BW2 General Metagame Discussion Thread

    I guess stuff like Zapdos, SpDef Rotom-W, Rock Polish Gene, Abomasnow, Scolipede, Gyarados, SubSalac Terrakion and Trick Room in general all qualify. I'd be really interested to see some other guys opinions though. As for 6 anti-metagame pokemon on one, team, not really. A team could feasibly...
  2. 2012 USA Election Thread: Obama projected winner

    Oh my gosh that is fucking brilliant.
  3. The Feeding Grounds

    Hi Rayzors :) This is a pretty creative team and your offensive members work together nicely in breaking down Steel type defensive Pokemon. However, I think it suffers from a somewhat confused strategy as well as some major defensive weaknesses. First of all I think we need to work out a more...
  4. October 2012 OU / Suspect Stats

    Needs more 1337 stats. Though, even these still show that Rain and Genesect are dominating.
  5. Trick room in bw2

    I've used Trick Room quite a bit in the last few months and have found, while full TR rooms are still reasonably effective, having two or so TR mons (a defensive mon / supporter + sweeper) is really useful on a lot of balanced / defensive teams to check dangerous threats as well as finish off...
  6. Gen 5 The OU Viability Ranking thread

    Ninetales is borderline A/S imo. Support it offers is gargantuan, on the other hand as everyone says, it needs support to have a chance against other weather inducers. If Drizzle is banned, as seems very possible, Drought might easily be suspected afterwards
  7. OU CCAT - Mark III (Laddering/Discussing - See Post #547)

    Kay I feel honorbound to defend Murk now because first of all he's defending my nomination :) and secondly, you're not making much sense (any, actually). So what if Gliscor only has 6% healing per turn? The opponent will have either 0, or -6% healing. The net "loss" from having Hail is therefore...
  8. Creative (and good) Movesets Mk II (READ THE OP FIRST)

    I'm confused. For the example you give Tornadus can just U-turn out of Gothitelle anyway. Celebi is cool though, I like bulky TWave sets in particular a lot in this metagame.
  9. OU CCAT - Mark III (Laddering/Discussing - See Post #547)

    Yeah I agree we really need to avoid adding any more Grass weaknesses. Like, really. Bronzong is just so much better as a Tornadus counter and general defensive mon than Rotom on this team. Same goes for Mamoswine to an extent, it really isn't making it easy for us to cover weaknesses. Noms...
  10. Son of Hyperion

    Lol at that guy^ Anyway, this is one of the most solid Sun teams I've seen recently, love the use of Gothitelle combined with mixed Venu. The only moderate problems I can see are Tornadus, and Latios / Latias with Recover (which allows them to get past Heatran, especially CM Latias). Tornadus...
  11. Blue Moon

    Hey High Impulse, this is really a lovely team and I like the use of some creative options for Sun. I can see three main weaknesses: Fire attacks, special Dragons, and the combination of Deoxys-D + any Ghost, which is the standard weatherless hyperoffense build. Fire types...basically either you...
  12. Gen 5 The OU Viability Ranking thread

    From my perspective as a largely defensive player (who still somehow can't give up on making stall / defensive balanced work in this meta), Tornadus-T is by far the bigger threat than Terrakion. It simply can't be worn down. Every time it comes in, which is often, that's instant momentum right...
  13. np: BW OU Suspect Testing Round 7 - Ice Ice Baby

    Off topic, but Lava Plume doesn't hit supereffectively the only type which is immune to it's Burn chance. It also gets low distribution, almost exclusively limited to Fire types, which as we know is a terrible defensive typing compared to Water. Back on topic, defensive Kyurem-B is really...
  14. The Ubers Viability Ranking Thread (Now Taking Write-Ups)

    No love for Abomasnow? Fits nicely into C rank imo; you have Mamo in C and Aboma does just as nicely against the 4x Ice weak targets, while actually helping somewhat against Weather.
  15. OU CCAT - Mark III (Laddering/Discussing - See Post #547)

    I don't think it should be too much of an issue, getting him in safely, but I'd quite like some second opinions. One of my favourite teams to use at the moment is Abomasnow / Tyranitar / Keldeo / Latias / Sandslash / Bronzong, which is very similar to our projected CCAT model. Slash does Spin...
  16. Gen 5 The OU Viability Ranking thread

    Yeah, I haven't actually seen a single convincing argument that Torn shouldn't be in S. It prefers Rain support, but it doesn't need it up to be effective. Simply put, the metagame can't deal with it at all. If the metagame becomes more balanced it will become even more of a beast because it...
  17. OU CCAT - Mark III (Laddering/Discussing - See Post #547)

    Right, so I'm going to be a complete boss and do this: Lol I'm pretty sure I'm the first guy ever to suggest two different auto-weathers in one CCAT. Abomasnow actually has a lot of justification behind it though. It obviously provides us with an incredible check to Rain - absorbing Water...
  18. Gen 5 The OU Viability Ranking thread

    The idea that Genesect's introduction to the meta wouldn't hurt Tyranitar vs Hippowdon in the usage stats is just dumb. SpDef Hippowdon, as alkines just demonstrated, handles Gene pretty nicely, whereas Tyranitar gets destroyed by U-turn. Even phys def Hippo handles Genesect better because it...
  19. Gen 5 The OU Viability Ranking thread

    This conversation is getting absolutely ridiculous. TPDB is pretty much right about everything he said. Tyranitar's special defense does give it massive advantages in terms of switching in to Politoed and offensive Tales (like that even exists lol). But, Dugtrio is incredibly common, as has been...
  20. Stall in BW2

    I'm using Blastoise on my current rainstall team and it's been working really nicely. I will say that Ferrothorn has been a massive pain, but Tentacruel can't handle Ferro that well anyway, even with Protect. For the record, the team is Politoed / SpDef Dragonite / Blastoise / Taunt Skarmory...
