  1. The Top 10 Titans of the 5th Gen OU Metagame

    I disagree really. Although every Pokemon we've banned so far has been broken (well... not quite *coughTornadus-Tcough*), they haven't all been necessarily dominating. In Round 1, Deo-A and Deo-N were pretty broken, but they're impact wasn't that huge, because Skymin and Moody and Darkrai were...

    I feel like I should let you know, I am making an all-cats team for OU, in honor of you. ;) That's why I was asking about Landorus-T earlier. It's hard to find viable cats to use, and I'm glad he counts.
  3. The Top 10 Titans of the 5th Gen OU Metagame

    With respect to you, Lord of Bays, I am sort of tired of seeing so much retroactive Genesect-hype. Genesect was the best Pokemon in OU while he was here, but that has literally been true of almost every single Pokemon we've banned this entire Gen! You say that Pokemon were beginning to live...

    That's awesome! I'd have to ask her before I start to pseudo-introduce you guys, because she's anxious about meeting new people. But I'm just saying, this could be so cool!

    Yup, pretty much. For example, I wouldn't say "Gensect was everything". But I would say "Genesect was everywhere, everyone, and it was on top of everything". More or less the same thing. :P I'm glad we avoided a full-scale argument there, for sure.
  6. The Top 10 Titans of the 5th Gen OU Metagame

    Oh, I'll grant you that Genesect took a while to get the ball rolling. I actually discounted August 2012 when I talked about usage stats, because no one really knew what the thing was capable of for at least a month, haha. And sure, GeneTrio did become an extremely common (and obnoxiously hard...
  7. The Top 10 Titans of the 5th Gen OU Metagame

    Someone's never played GSC. :P Alright, kidding aside, I seriously think you over-exaggerate Genesect's place in his meta (yes, it was HIS meta). It really was not all about Genesect. Pokemon which could not damage Genesect whatsoever remained high. Scizor never left the top 5. Jirachi never...
  8. The Top 10 Titans of the 5th Gen OU Metagame

    Okay, now I have an opportunity for a slightly more legit post. Politoed was the most obvious choice here, and I am glad that Deck brought it up. But there is one thing I want to address. So far, OU has had 10 Suspect Rounds, yielding 12 metagames (add the current one and the deo-s meta). If...
  9. The Top 10 Titans of the 5th Gen OU Metagame

    I'll make an actual post and discuss on this probably like tomorrow (or 2-ish hours), because I have only a minute now. But I do have time to say this: Moody is going on this list, period. It got banned from Ubers and we had to make an entirely new Clause for it, lol.
  10. BW2 General Metagame Discussion Thread

    Leaf Storm is the only Grass-type move Celebi has which will OHKO Tyranitar after a Nasty Plot. That's why he uses it. @Vemane: Your calc says 2-3HKO, but I think we can assume Stealth Rock and safely call it a guaranteed 2HKO.
  11. OU Conquest Round 2 (see post #73 for deets)! DEO-D IS BANNED.

    Battle #5 Name: SlimMan Opponent: Hyperbeem Result: Loss Cash: 26-13=13 One problem which worries me is that there may not be enough coins in circulation for anyone to win. I guess we'll see as it unfolds. Battle #6 Name: SlimMan Opponent: White symphone Result: Loss Cash: 13-6=7
  12. OU Stats - February 2k13

    You'd be surprised at just how big Torn-T was. I voted it OU, but even I acknowledge it pretty much warped the metagame around it (to a degree, not like Exca or Blaziken did). Also, 3 months ago was around when people were finally discovering what a badass Keldeo is, iirc. Could be wrong, but...
  13. OU Stats - February 2k13

    Well, to be fair, those were two very dominating Pokemon, both of which destroyed Landorus-T. I wouldn't say that their getting banned affected Landorus-T like it did other Pokemon (ie Keldeo), but it was definitely a boost for him.
  14. OU Stats - February 2k13

    Thank you Antar for the stats, and Nix for bringing them here. Just pointing out that if you add TTar and Hippo's usage, Sand is still more common than Rain. Of course, there are double-Sand teams, but those are relatively rare.

    Thanks about my avy <3 I checked with my friend, she said she's going to the University of Melbourne in the fall!!!
  16. OU Playstyles - Week #04 [Sand Stall] - READ OP FIRST!

    I'm glad Stall is becoming more viable with the recent bannings because it's my favorite playstyle. I'm also sad though because every (good) team I make ends up being horribly weak to Stall. :/ Having faced this exact team multiple times (can't remember who used it though), I can definitely...
  17. Sandslash (Update, GP 2/2)

    Made all of Gato's changes :) Ready for #2 woot! 1) Made all of the "his" into "its". I don't know why they weren't all its in the first place. 2) Turned "becomes" into "is" on last sentence of 1st paragraph of OO. This reads better imo. 3) Turned "KOes" into "KOs" in 2nd paragraph of OO. This...
  18. Simple Questions & Simple Answers & General Resources (OU Edition) MK II

    I remember this getting asked a really long time ago, and I think it was the previous thread so I'm not gonna go digging for it. A move, when used, can be affected by Magic Bounce only once, correct? For example, a Xatu uses Toxic against another Xatu. Toxic is reflected once, cannot be...

    Sandslash (in OU) is ready for GP! Also, we'd like someone to weigh in on the writing from the original version please.
