  1. Creative (and good) Movesets (READ THE OP FIRST)

    Magnezone is the premier steel killer and arch-nemesis of Ferrothorn, Subcharge likely being it's most used set. However, Ferrothorn can occasionally come out on top against Subcharge Magnezone due to factors such as leech seed, crits, paralysis, or even Choice Band. This set nullifies all...
  2. Creative (and good) Movesets (READ THE OP FIRST)

    Chansey only learns Tri Attack in Gen 1. There is no way to get a Gen 1 Chansey into a Gen 3, 4, or 5 game.

    Rohbushin can't really take advantage of Toxic, as it ruins one of it's main draws, survivability. Toxic Orb, Fling and Acrobat are indeed a great combination, along with EQ for dual stab with decent coverage. I'd use Substitute over Protect, but I guess that's a matter of preference. I'll...
  4. Feraligatr

    Do you mean to say that bastard doesn't learn Waterfall? Edit: I see... no Waterfall. That sucks for him. His puny HP is offputting enough, but without a STAB, Encouraged move, he's really no competition for Gatr. I guess Kingler is best off sticking to Hyper Cutter.
  5. Blaziken

    SD Blaziken is great, but how about Bulk Up? We all know how great boosting Attack, Defense, and Speed at once can be on a sweeper (I'm looking at you Ulgamoth). Blaziken@ Wide Lens/Black Belt Adamant 78HP/252Atk/180Spd - Bulk Up - Hi Jump Kick - Blaze Kick - Baton Pass/Shadow Claw/Stone Edge...

    If Kingler didn't have such a crap movepool, it would be honest competition for Gatr, what with it's 130 Base attack. It's also a lot less bulky than Feraligatr, and Adamant Kingler misses outspeeding Scarfchomp by just one point. I don't think anything would want to switch in on SD Encourage...
  7. Feraligatr

    With Encourage, 105 Attack is effectively higher than 150. Even without a LO, or rain, Encourage Feraligatr is hitting harder than Max Attack Rayquaza with an effective 440 Attack. Not to mention that bringing Feraligatr down is no easy task. Agility Gatr, with a neutral Speed nature, outspeeds...
  8. Scrafty

    In that case, only the Musketeers, Lucario and Absol resist Dark, and all of those except Kerudio and Birijion are weak to Fighting. Gengar and Shandera are two of the top Pokemon in terms of usage. There's no reason for Zuruzukin not to use his awesome dual STAB.
  9. Scrafty

    Ghosts and Psychics aren't rare competitively, and Justice Heart does not affect Dark-type effectiveness. Dark and Fighting is excellent dual stab. Payback is better on a Bulk Up set, while DD would prefer Crunch.
  10. Volcarona

    It can still switch in on both. It can even switch in on Bug Buzz at +1. Besides, it would likely switch in on Butterfly Dance, not an attack.
  11. Gengar

    Destiny Bond makes LO/Scarf Gengar a hell of a team player, eliminating threats to the team slower than it that it can't KO otherwise. The opponent rarely sees it coming.
  12. Eviolite

    You have a strange definition of "outclassing". Misdreavus's defenses are still meh when holding a Prevo-Stone, maybe good enough to pull off a better Perish Trap, but people generally use Mismagius for Nasty Plot sweeping. Even Porygon2, the best Prevo Stone user, doesn't outclass it's...
  13. Lucario

    lol I just noticed the 205 Evs in HP and SpAtk. For everyone's info, EV's should be divisible by 4. Still there are nicer ways to get your point across. Everyone learns somehow. That is the same thing I thought when I say Cobalion's (or whatever) stats. I think higher Attack and ExtremeSpeed...
  14. Lucario

    'Mixed' Sweeper means you mix Physical and Special moves. Those are all Special moves. That was unnecessary. You could just correct the guy. Anyway, Dragon Pulse isn't a bad substitute for Shadow Ball on Lucario, as it does more damage, and Dragon/Fighting is unresisted. It's basically hitting...
  15. Feraligatr

    Check the gap between ScarfZone usage and ScarfTon usage in Gen 4 Ubers. It's pretty big. As SJCrew noted, Modest Scarf Magneton is slower than Timid Magnezone, and a lot less bulky. Magneton itself has not changed at all in Gen 5. In most situations, Scarf Magnezone outclassed Scarf Magneton...
  16. Chandelure

    If it's raining, Shandera will have a hard time switching in on Politoed, regardless of how much HP it has. A Rain-Boosted Surf from a Politoed with no SpAtk investment whatsoever OHKO's 0/0 Shandera, even without SR damage. I wouldn't call that a reliable way to get rid of Politoed. Gothiselle...
  17. Feraligatr

    I disagree. Magnezone isn't a wall; it's a trapper and killer. Having massive defenses doesn't necessarily make it better at it's job. Having a ton of offensive power along with some bulk helps it do it's job more effectively. Specs Magnezone is still better at trapping Nattorie than Stone...

    Then you went right over my head. What is your point? Wobb being broken in Gen V is merely my opinion, and I should have stated it as such. Pay it no heed.
  19. Ditto

    Agreed. That is where Wobbuffet belongs. In other tiers, it's broken, even in Gen V.
  20. Ditto

    ^Most Pokemon can't smash through 584 HP without boosting their stats significantly, and most stat moves get Encored. Wobbuffet performs fine in Ubers.
