  1. NU Viability Ranking

    Actually, I agree with Punchshroom that the only reason why Liepard has its bad rep as a hax pokemon is due to the large number of parafusion sets around, which don't always work. Encore Liepard is much, much, much more effective and reliable for various reasons. 1. You can encore a wall into...
  2. Theorymon Sessions

    1. What effect would Munchlax? Would Munchlax completely replace Lickilicky as a Special Wall and Phazer? Or would it be pretty much ineffective like it is in RU? I've always been pretty partial to Munchlax. However Ghost types still wall it completely so it'd probably do better working...
  3. NU Stats - February 2013

    Featherdance Murkrow could take on Scolipede pretty well, assuming Scolipede hasn't gotten any boosts yet. Foul Play does 41% ~ 49% to the average Scolipede (meaning 4HP/0Def/252Atk) without factoring boosts, which is a guaranteed 2HKO after SR (if this is the case, Persian and Sneasel would do...
  4. NU combinations V3

    So far I've tried an Anorith + Shedinja + Grumpig core, something that sounds gimmicky but actually cover the weaknesses of each other really well. Anorith @ Eviolite Trait: Battle Armor EVs: 240 HP / 252 Atk / 16 Spe Adamant Nature - X-Scissor - Rock Blast/Rock Slide - Stealth Rock - Rapid...
  5. Simipour- Outclassed? Or not?

    I was always a fan of specially attacking Simipour. If anything, it definitely 2HKOes specially defensive Charizard in the sun with hydro pump without any boosts, and outspeeds. Out of sun, surf massacres non specially defensive variants, and even with it manages to hit the 2HKO. With amazing...
  6. Weathers in NU: Good or Bad?

    Has anyone ever considered Mawile as a weather setter? It can set up Rain, Sun, Sand, and gets amazing support in the form of SR, Baton Pass and the like. ...now I feel like trying out a Sand BP team with a core of Mawile, Mr Mime, and Stoutland.
  7. Weathers in NU: Good or Bad?

    Actually though, (in my opinion) one of the reasons why full weather teams can be pretty risky is because of the imminent threat of getting encored into a set-up move, because even Ludicolo doesn't appreciate being Prankster-Encored into Rain Dance by Murkrow/Liepard/Volbeat/Illumise.
  8. NU Viability Ranking

    Nomination: Persian from E to D Rank Persian with Taunt is pretty useless, since it's too frail to take direct hits anyway, but NP Persian is actually pretty useful in punching large holes in the opponent's team early-game or cleaning late-game. (It also makes a fantastic receiver of...
  9. Weathers in NU: Good or Bad?

    The problem with hail and sand are that Snow Cloak and Sand Veil are now banned (which is annoying) so teams based on evasion are now not as viable. Having Ludicolo and Exeggutor together actually sounds pretty good, with the exception of the fact that Regice would wall both to no end and...
  10. Weathers in NU: Good or Bad?

    Used to run a multi-weather team on ladder, hail and sand. It's kind of gimmicky, I admit, but even if there's no chance to set up weather, pokemon that function well (such as Cradily, Relicanth or Piloswine) can still work out of it. The defense/longevity boosts from hail/sand gives a lot of...
  11. NU Pokemon of the Week - Golurk

    I like Kangaskhan for it's versatility. It's actually the Pokemon I use the most frequently, being in 8/9 NU teams that I have. Back in the days of DPP, when Kangaskhan was still in UU, I used to run a Early Bird/Rest set paired with a Dodrio to great effect, but that was before the BW2 sleep...
  12. Unexpected Standalones

    Hey WhiteDMist, thanks for the rate and feedback. I've tried Specs Exeggutor but I think a more specially defensive spread will fill Cradily's current role at absorbing grass type attacks yet, so I'll test that. Thanks for the suggestion though, I never considered Exeggutor and I think it'll...
  13. Unexpected Standalones

    This team was based around a Cradily/Simipour/Carracosta core, which works surprisingly well together. There were a few more "common" threats which I couldn't seem to be able to try this out on (since for some reason I never met any of them), so I think it's still lacking in some aspects...
  14. NU Team: I am slow!

    So, when I created this team, I already had a [long] list of pokemon I had in mind to put on the team, and there were simply too many pokemon that could match with each other. Instead of selecting one pokemon, as usual, and basing an entire team around it, I picked two pokemon and started...
  15. Team "They don't support each other!"

    Thank you for the review! I've tried Uxie, it works quite well, but I've made some changes, like placing both T-wave and SR on it in place of Psychic. I've tried that set with T-wave, but got terribly messed up by Ground-types which makes it quite pointless. Also, Venomoth can do Psychic quite...
  16. Team "They don't support each other!"

    Lickilicky (M) @ Wide Lens Ability: Own Tempo EVs: 252 HP/4 Def/252 SAtk Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Blizzard - Fire Blast - Power Whip - Thunder Lickilicky hits almost every single possible lead in UU for at least neutral damage. Wide Lens increases the accuracy of all the...
  17. *insert creative title here* (OU RMT)

    A water with access to ice moves, say, a PsyBoltBeaming Starmie, will murder your team if it gets past Rotom and Forretress, which will be quite easy with a good Fire-type. If your opponent uses say, with Lapras and Lanturn, or any other pokemon with Volt/Water Absorb, your Suicune will be...
  18. Persian-based

    This is the first team I'm posting on RMT and it's one I'm intending on working with, because I specialize in UU and NU. The pokemon I'm basing this team on is Persian, because of the ever useful Technician and the relatively high speed. Team Building: I base my team upon Persian...
