  1. Smogon University PO Statistics — June 2011

    Is OU determined by all the pokemon at or above a set ranking number or all the pokes at or above a certain usage percentage?
  2. Arcanine

    Why use Arcanine over Ape in OU? While he may be slightly bulkier, fire is a bad defensive typing anyway and with Ape's higher speed, he'll be taking fewer hits regardless. Also, Ape gets STAB on CC, has a higher Sp Attack and takes out the same pokes that Arcanine does.
  3. Ditto

    Ditto is much better if your opponent has set up
  4. RU Threat List

    So if we're using pokemon that dont exist yet as counters to Yanmega, scarf ST Shandy works much better. So does Imposter ditto. And Telepathy Palkia.... So he's the idiot? Its true, how stupid of him to mention that Basteodon cant switch in to Yanmega from now until indefinitely.
  5. Great Defensive Combos

    sorry to nitpick, but rain dish doesnt give a water immunity
  6. Rarely Used (RU) Tier

    I think Ryperior somewhat outclasses rampardos with megahorn, much better defenses, more unpredictability and for the fact that at +2, they both hit so hard there isnt much of a difference in attack stats. He also gets STAB on EQ
  7. Deoxys-S

    He used to need them to outspeed scarfChomp but now that he's banned there probly is a better spread.
  8. Pokémon+ Luck-free metagame : Server up and running !

    Furthermore, Liligant does not have this confusion drawback and therefore, is made worse as it is given a drawback it didnt have otherwise
  9. Ditto

    Ditto is much better as a revenge killer than an offensive switch-in. In addition, I dont think it works like that, though I could be wrong. While the IV might be less, the Stat will be the same and Ditto therefore should always speed tie in those circumstances.
  10. Deoxys-S

    That set is beast. I ran the same thing for a while, but I found that Psycho Boost was better due to his tendency to switch around alot and need as strong of hits as possible. Also, people will tend to switch in TTar after a Psycho Boost to Pursuit you, and then you can surprise OHKO using...
  11. Toxicroak (Analysis)

    I know this is stupid, but its one of my big pet peeves- in the first sentence, you use the word plethora, which means a typicality undesirable OVERabundance as opposed to a beneficially large amount.
  12. RU Threat List

    Great job on the OP. I was reading through it though and I saw the part about Manectric Vs. Galvantula, you should add Lightning Rod as one of Manectric's advantages. I run a scarf set and I cant even count how many times I've switched in on a Thunder Wave aimed for Yanmega or some other...

    Earthquake Edit: ninja'd. By like 15 min. I should really read the whole tread before I post stuff.
  14. Steelix

    Thats what Im saying, thunder fang is a bad move to carry as EQ hits water about the same (thunder Fang is only a few BP higher with Sheer Force) and doesnt hit flying types harder then Rock Slide. It doesnt really have the use to justify the moveslot.
  15. Steelix

    No it doesnt. Besides Gyarados.
  16. Rarely Used (RU) Tier

    Or Sub
  17. RU Threat List

    Instead of RestTalk Cress to clear statuses, Ive been using a Moonlight/Psycho Shift version. It doesnt have to give up control of its moveset to recover, which is very helpful as mine spreads statuses primarily and its important to get the right status on your opponent. It may lose out on...
  18. Never forget the obscure

    This. Too many people are hating just because this warstory isnt just like all the others yet remains just as enjoyable.
  19. Rarely Used (RU) Tier

    Nope, Alakazam hasn't been OU for a really long time. At the moment, Alakazam isnt used enough in UU, and is therefor RU.
  20. Scraggy is win.

    Isnt Contrary illegal?
