Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Yea pretty much. I think Modest nature is the best one since you're not going to outrun anything base 99+ positive nature speed anyways and is a waste. Just hit as hard as you can. Its a preference thing.
Hey, I read that I'm supposed to fight Cheren in Victory Road. However, I passed the area where I'm supposed to face him but I didn't even see or face him at all.I'm now at the Pokemon League. I didn't use Strength to move anything if that helps. Do I have to do something specific to get him to...
Hey, I was wondering how Mincinno/Cincinno learns Rock Blast and Bulletseed. I have a Mincinno in Black version and it doesn't know either of the moves.
You know there is a sandstorm move right? Banning drizzle and sandstream is pretty much the same thing. If people say that we should use drizzle and use rain dance instead, I say we should ban sandstream and drought as well and just use sandstorm and sunny day. I don't want to ban any weather...
Well, there isn't exactly proof, but from the look of things, it does seem like sand is more prevalent than rain is. Another thing, people will disagree with this and I can understand why and I agree to a certain extent, but the PO statistics also show that Tyranitar and sand is played more than...
Actually, everything you just said can be applied the other way around too. Sandstorm is already the most played archtype if you didn't already know. Maybe we are forced to run Politoed to counter the sand, which is false anyway. People will run Tyranitar and sand as well as Politoed regardless...
Morning sun actually helps a lot. When using life orb or taking damage from SR, spikes, and or sand, he dies pretty fast making his survivability extremely low. Morning sun, with or without sun helps a lot, you use it when you force switches or when you think you can use it. It is just a...
Theres quite a few options to use. Just use things like Haze, Roar/Whirlwind, Perish Song (very good on Celebi), Unaware ability Pokemon, and Holy Sword move on the three legendaries to bypass boosts. Using the legendaries would mean that you have to kill them fast or risk getting toxic or...
If bans do happen, I'd rather ban the ability Inconsistent rather than banning Octillery, Bibarel and the like. Banning the Pokemon is kind of mean to Octillery and friends as they aren't actually THAT great without the ability.
Lol, I had an enemy Octillery at one more tick from dying from sandstorm, but Leftovers healed him and made it two ticks. I couldn't hit him lol for so long and all I needed was to hit him. That one tick was just arghhhh lol.
Lol, suddently Darkrai, Skymin, Deoxy-A have been forgotten haha. Bibarel and Octillery are super angry at being UU and below for too long. They're here to destroy us all. xD
I faced like 4 teams with these two pokes, and dayum are they hard to take down. I had to switch to my Skarmory...
Just wanted to say that I really like this metagame. Since there are lots of Pokemon, its very diverse and fun with many options. People need to think more and look for more options to counter other the top threats. I mean like I was using a Darkrai and was stopped by Aerodactyl's speed when I...
Yea, but Mach Punch is everywhere and owns Terakion. That is a big difference between the two as Onono is not weak to fighting priority. However, Onono is weak to Ice Shard, but that isn't as prevalent as Mach Punch. Still a good idea though.
