  1. np: UU - Here It Goes Again

    The problem is thinking that just evaluating the suspects alone based on the characteristics is enough to prove they did something. It's not; you can't just jump to conclusions without a frame of reference. If a pokemon is truly broken for a certain characteristics, the effects of their presence...

  3. np: UU - Here It Goes Again

    The point of testing a suspect-less metagame is to verify whether some of the objective reasons behind them being nominated in the first place were correct or not. It is not to see which metagame is better - it's to see if the suspect truly did what they did to deserve getting banned. If we...
  4. Steelix [4F]

    The last two sets have been elaborated on to the best of my abilities. Before you put it on the site, though, I would like to wait to confirm the tiering of Crobat, in case I need to revise any mention of it in the analysis.
  5. Steelix [4F]

    Thank you for that. As for Trick Room, you can totally call me on that - it was just theorymon to pad the paragraph, so I'll remove it.
  6. Steelix [4F]

    People, please, that's just how it's run. It's 225 with STAB, just like Earthquake is 150 with STAB. Actually, I remember taking that line out, so I don't know how you caught it...
  7. Magneton [4F]*

    Magneton has Magnet Rise for Earthquake; you just need to come in on Stealth Rock or Gyro Ball. Which reminds me, I should mention that it can Roar them out on my Steelix analysis...
  8. Steelix [4F]

    I took everyone's advice and gave up on Iron Ball. It has been moved to Other Options. Also Baitlix runs max Attack EVs, which is mentioned in the set comments but isn't a part of the main set. To avoid confusion, though, I removed Passho Berry.

    http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/steelix ________________________________________________________________ Merged the "Curse" and "Curse+Chesto" sets. Added the "BaitLix" set Added Team Options and rewrote the bottom sections to reflect UU exclusively. [SET] name: Physical Wall move 1: Stealth...
  10. Don't flame me for using the Flame Pokemon! (Moltres Discussion)

    tl;dr: Having a well-balanced team with good coverage is 100% more important that simply countering things. Only pokemon that provide maximum usefulness in the metagame will be used. Player will not risk their win ratios using anything less, ever. Not even for the sake of countering the top...
  11. Take my item, I don't need it. [UU Warstory, my first]

    A better moral would have been "Know your fucking enemy." =/ It was pretty silly, reading about how his Hitmonlee battered you all over the place. When in doubt, use the Smogon search engine...
  12. New DPP Tier Lists

    It'll need a bit of Special Defense EVs, but surely prediction helps here. If it uses HP Ground, and it's Moltres, it's fucked. So it becomes much smarter to use Air Slash, but Air Slash doesn't K.O., while you still OHKO back even without EV investment. At least, that's how I see it. And I did...
  13. New DPP Tier Lists

    Stealth Rock is so deadly to it, you can probably get away with just Arcanine with Roar and a Wish passer. Works for both, since with Speed Boost it can't 2HKO, and with Tinted Lens it can't outspeed. =P But yeah, it's going to shake things up quite a bit. Moltres was already annoying enough -...
  14. NU Discussion Thread

    Seeing so many player's perceptions of the "tier where Luvdisc is usable" being shattered into a million pieces makes me smile. People, the days of the "luvdisc/unown" tier are over. This is what NU is supposed to be, and this is what it will be for now on. Get used to it.
  15. Final UU Voters

    Confirming as AeroGP. Planning to submit my paragraphs in a few hours, actually. ;)
  16. The New UU List - Finally we can define NU! (April Fools version)

    Yeah, the fake OU list confirms it. This list may actually be our UU list before OU -> UU changes.
  17. The New UU List - Finally we can define NU! (April Fools version)

    They sure do. But I'm left wondering if they're using real statistics to fake an April Fools joke, so we end up ignoring a prototype to the actual list. The list doesn't look too unrealistic, unless you're absolutely positive Hippopatas wouldn't make it. And there's the lack of OU pokes that...
  18. np: UU - Six Deadly Suspects

    Yanmega is living proof that speed isn't everything. It's still beat by Crobat and Electrode leads, as well as Stealth Rock, which means it'll have to find its own niche with STAB bug/flying special attacks and Hypnosis.
  19. np: UU - Six Deadly Suspects

    Galade as a lead would be interesting. Aide from Roserade, who could just put it to sleep with decent reliability, no one would want to risk taking huge damage on their lead, and Fake Out users will be very cautious about activating Steadfast. That means it can securely status the incoming...
  20. np: UU - Six Deadly Suspects

    EDIT: Slowbro needs near max Sp. Atk Evs to outdamage Altaria's Roost because it doesn't get STAB on Ice Beam (and Roost removes the flying weakness), so that doesn't work for the usual bulky sets. They'll just be Toxic or Perish Song stalled. Azumarill is an exception for being physical, having...
