  3. Gen5 Weatherless HO (Peaked at 100+ with 1317 CRE)

    @Valentine getting an extra DD would be great since Rotom neither walls nor revenges me at +2/+2, but I can't really see how Intimidate helps get the extra turn... please clarify? Agreed, anyway, HO is fun and fast but with offensive threats like Exca and defensive ones like Quagsire it's harder...
  4. Gen5 Weatherless HO (Peaked at 100+ with 1317 CRE)

    @Golden Emp on the contrary I find that a significant number of people change their mons' gender to female. Not KOing Skarm isn't so bad but missing out on 2KOing female Scizors means Haxo is going down. @BabySh0es Haxo and Scizor bait in and KO Ferro and Skarm very reliably, and Gyara sets up...
  5. Gen5 Weatherless HO (Peaked at 100+ with 1317 CRE)

    I fail @ Gen 5. I've used Hyper Offense to significant success in Gen 4, peaking at around 14xx CRE, but Gen 5 was never really the same. Tried a balance FWG core, stall, sun, rain, hail even but none of them really worked for me. My best attempt at climbing the ladder has since been done with...

  7. Contrary

    i have to try this.
  8. Sturdy

    Custap berry can't be used in OU since its not released yet, but aggron with sturdy/metalburst custap+ stealth rock would make a pretty good suicide lead.
  9. Trick Room 1v1

    I recommend slowbro/slowking over octillery - you lose out on 5special attack but in return you get MUCH more bulk. No real reason not to do so - 5SpA shouldn't make that much of a difference - unless you find that the extra weaknesses give by slowbro/king's psychic typing are crippling...
  10. Trapping Discussion

    what about magma storm heatran? that one deserves a look at for being able to beat blissey with explosion (it still does in gen v despite the explosion nerfs. you might have to hit him with taunt/magma storm a couple more times to KO though - too lazy to run calcs.) The set directly...
  11. Smogon Team Builder

    ^^ i actually find PO's team builder more effective than smogon's prebuilt teambuilder - still, something to easily access smogon's standard sets would be nice...
  12. Anyone here in or interested in joining the military?

    lucky people who have the choice of whether to serve or not =( i come from a place where 2 years in military is mandatory
  13. Weather Wars- Brain Freeze in the Desert

    the opponent letting his scizor die for nothing dumb - you pretty much overpredicted against a pretty bad opponent - the match would have been more interesting had your opponent actually switched in heatran more often against your choice-locked heatran (as he should have..)
  14. An Extra Section for Analyses Involved in the Rain Complex Ban

    I think there should be a disclaimer at the top noting that swift swim + drizzle is banned, or at the bare minimum a LINK to a forum post which lists all the rules of OU. (assuming the analysis is for OU.)
  15. First Warstory

    I liked the formatting, but honestly, your opponent was pretty bad and the battle wasn't very exciting or interesting.
  16. Great Defensive Combos

    tangrowth and slowbro make a pretty decent defensive core with regeneration as well. tangrowth doesn't resist some of the things slowbro is weak to (dark namely) but its insane defense lets it take crunches from ttar and threaten with power whip regardless.. common weakness to bug type...
  17. Lickilicky

    You're forgetting the ability for lickylicky to set up weather of its own. On a stall team lickylicky has the option of setting up SS/Sunnyday/Raindance and forcing opposing weather switchers to switch back in, giving you possibly giving you extra momentum racking up SR/Spikes/Toxic damage.
  18. Full time stall

    mixed salamence puts a pretty huge dent in your team, and there are a bunch of other mixed mons whose names elude me temporarily which might give you trouble.
  19. Flareon's Rage.

    this warstory makes me want to use flareon too
  20. The unpredictability factor.

    Unpredictable casual teams tend to have almost no/few checks to some things. Sometimes all it needs it one stat-upper to come in and DD a few times in his face and you have a sweep going. I find this happens rather often when playing in OU ladder and facing UU Pokemon teams in the OU ladder...
