Hello smogon community! I am articanus and I used to be a very avid gen IV battler during the four year period where it was most popular here. On smogon I was most popular for my warstories above all else, but I also participated in tournaments and was a badged tutor during the original creation...

Hello, everyone! I took a huuuuge hiatus from pokemon for a while, and over the last couple of months I've been slowly working my way back into the scene. Not on the boards, of course, but I've been goofing off on the ladder. =P Now anyways, I'm sure everyone has heard the commotion of...

Intro So before I get into the actual team, I'd like to give my thanks to this user, kirbyraeg, on SWF. What had happened exactly is that I was browsing the Poke Center over there when I came across a RMT he posted. Looking into it, he had the ingenious idea of using SubPassing Celebi to...

Meditite is a pokemon banished to LC ubers due to his enormous attack stat that has people paranoid. Thanks to his ability, Pure Power, his attack stat surpasses that of even Cranidos. Now for a little history. Meditite was, in my opinion, a little pre-maturely banned, though it was done so for...

Probably doesn't seem like a team that's too special. SkarmBliss? Tyranitar plus Gengar? Celebi and Swampert? I just look like your usual OU whore. However, that's precisely what I tried to avoid with the creation of this team. For one I get tired of the same sets being seen everywhere, and...

Yeah yeah Great Sage hates me now. Whatever. xD Now, as indicated by the title, this is an attempt to use Umbreon with his trapping abilities. This may seem preposterous in today's OU enviroment, with Scizor and U-turn being spammed everywhere. That's where good play and team-building come...

I hate intro's and I'm sure you do too: so rather than waste your time, why not just go straight to the part you came to see? Rules: Ladder Match, Sleep Clause, Freeze Clause, OHKO Clause, Evasion Clause, Species Clause, Strict Damage Clause, Soul Dew Clause Articanus sent out Infernape...

First off I apologize if someone else has done this before or if this belongs in a different place... Anyway, if you believe you are or have been in love, feel free to post here about it here. ------------------------------------------ I am currently led to believe I am in love at this...

Sorry

Approved By Earthworm We welcome you to the "Tipping the Scales!" tourney, hosted by Olie and Articanus! Official Tournament Rules thread: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38685 Caution: READ THE RULES CAREFULLY The way this tourney operates is; you are assigned 10 points...

I suck with intros so I'll make this quick. Escentially I'm just going through names on the unrated list when I come up to one that seemed remotely familiar to me: iKitsune. Probably seen him post on smogon, no doubt, but that was enough for me to at least send him the challenge message...

People who(for any strange reason) see this and think "oh a good person's team, I'm going to try to ladder with it!", think again: this is currently unplayable on the shoddy ladder @ Choice Scarf Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 HP/104 Def/152 Spd Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk) - Trick - Stealth Rock -...

Dialga @ Lum Berry Ability: Pressure EVs: 252 HP/120 Spd/56 SAtk/80 SDef Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Dragon Pulse - Thunder Wave - Substitute - Stealth Rock This has been my anti-starter for the longest time now, as it has rarely(if ever) let me down. It can take two Water Spouts from Modest...

Neither names are in fact the ones used in the battle. So don't think you'll find them on there. Otherwise, enjoy! Opponent's moves will look like this. Articanus's moves will look like this. other text will look like this. Scores will be shown after each KO. Rules: Ladder Match, Sleep...

Team This team has Stathakis' hard-worked "RMT builder" or whatever going for it(I'm a test subject lol), and also it has a warstory too(which is in my signature). I Sweep on Speed a.k.a. Metagross @ Lum Berry ---------------------------------------- Ability: Clear Body EVs: 208...

OK, so by popular demand(Aldaron and Ike123 lol), I will go ahead and make the uber discussion thread. Thanks alot: when I have to take charge, you know smogon's in trouble. =O [big jk btw. I don't mind] Anyway, the uber metagame is completely centralizing. This is based on purely statistics...

Articanus' Lineup: As you can see, mine is an offensive team with some defensive capabilities built into it, especially through resistances and immunities. It also sports three different priority users and a Scarfer. But enough with the intro: on with the show! Rules: Ladder Match, Sleep...

@ Lum Berry Ability: Pressure EVs: 252 HP/136 Spd/120 SAtk Naive nature (+Spd, -SDef) - Dragon Pulse - Aura Sphere - Substitute - Stealth Rock My starter for the team, and is decently effective. It can take so many hits with just max HP, it's not even funny. I've very rarely had to switch out...

Thought I would give a "theme team" a shot. Couldn't hurt. =3 Stathakis I stolez your layout. It was exactly what I was looking for! YA-HA! Hello! ^^ Hopefully I'm not the only Eyeshield-fanatic on this site! It would be awfully sad if I was! I'm no good at introductions, so let me say: RATE...
