If Dory doesn't have a Balloon, then Ditto just steps all over him. I.E. Dory used Swords Dance! Counter switched in. Counter used Mach Punch! The berry lowered the power of Mach Punch. Dory used Earthquake/Rock Slide/Return! KOs/does damage. Switches to Scarf Ditto. Ditto used...

It would generally be wise to keep a counter hidden in the wings. Besides, it when a Hippowdon is sent out late game, you can be pretty sure Doryuzuu is coming right behind it.

If your opponent is using Hippowdon/TTar, they are most likely using Dory too. Keeping a counter in reserve for a threatening Pokemon is pretty common practice.

Ran some calcs, Fire Blast from Max Sp Atack Balloon Heatran deals a nice minimum 104.7% to max hp/sp def Doryuuzu. If Dory doesn't invest in any bulk Fire Blast hits for a massive minimum of 169.5%. Also, +2 Rock Slide doesn't even 2HKO Heatran. At the very least Baloon Heatran could be a very...

I assume those are the only ones he's found so far. Would someone be as kind as to test a pokesav'd Eccentric Ditto?

I reeeeeally hope Ditto makes it. If Dream World Ditto is never released I will be very sad. Very, very sad.

My point being is that you pretty much HAVE to sacrifice something to get Ditto in safely against a +3/+3 monster, which yes, is how a revenge killer works. Yes, Ditto most likely will revenge kill, but Ditto can't really set up again if it's forced out without sacrificing another Pokemon. Scarf...

Although Ditto will be an awesome revenge killer and will hopefully keep some stat uppers from going TOO crazy, I think that sending it straight to Ubers is a bit overboard. First of all, I'm pretty sure Ditto doesn't copy other Pokemon's item boosts. So no double choice scarf boosts, or...

Oh man, Slowbro just got this much better. This, coupled with recover is pretty awesome.

I could definitely see Crobat being retested, and maaaaaaaybe Honchcrow as well. The metagame has definitley changed since then (and not just "new rock types yayyyy"). Yeah, it beats out Venusaur and resists Leaf Storm/Sludge Bomb, and might be pretty strong and fast, but it is beatable. It...

No Suspects. Nothing really sticks out as overpowered, and the metagame is balanced and stable.

I'm thinking of doing a Leaf Green Nuzlocke run. I'd do Blue first for nostalgia, but METAL CLAW YES had me choose the newer version instead. 1: You're forced to use Bulbasaur. Use anything else, and you risk dying to Poision from Weedles. If you use Charmander and avoid Weedles until lv 10...

When Black and White come you'll be getting your wish for a broken metagame. :U If the metagame is getting stale (venasaur is quickly becoming one of my least favorite starters :\) simply shake things up by coming up with new ideas and threats, like the big load of Torterra last period. Post...

I was hoping the metagame would stay the same. I didn't have all that much time to really get a good team made, but this month I think I'll have much more time to test things out. I'm really happy abut how this has been going. It'll be fun to play in a balanced metagame, but if you really ran...

We'll miss you (again) Umbreon. ;_____; No, not really.

This came out the way I was hoping it would. ^__^ I'm glad Moltres got to stay, I have fond memories of using Specs Moltres as a lategame sweeper before Flash Fire Pokemon were all that common. I'm also glad people realized that Shed Shell prevents Dugtrio from being broken/being able to trap...

One of the problems with Pokewalker is that if you restart the game, the courses reset. I can understand that (since getting strong/rare Pokemon early on could be a form of a Disc One Nuke), but why do they have to reset the events as well? :\ There's no way to get them back (unless Nintendo has...

I caught a pretty good haul today. Five Magikarp Three Bronzor Eight! Horsea Three Duskull One Beldum And no Munchlaxes. :( The Beldum is Mild, which isn't all that bad.

Surfchu are a little bit rarer if I remember correctly (3% as opposed to 5% for Munchlax). Also, you can catch Munchlaxes easier in !! patches, as it has a seperate appearance from the normal !! patch (unlike Surfchu and Regular Pikachus). I got lucky and was able to get a Surfchu from a !!, but...

I'm pretty hard tested to decide between having to run a bunch of Hera counters and fight a Heracross every match or never having to play against stall. If Moltres wasn't banned it wouldn't be all that terrible, really (not like Moltres staying is very likely). However, I don't think we need a...
