I'm not gonna bother responding to two middleschoolers that have no life, so they spend their entire time in threads like these provoking and disagreeing just to disagree, despite having no clue what the hell they're talking about. You haven't even used most of the pokes you're arguing for or...

I call bullcrap on the above two posts. There's no need to catch a pokemon as soon as it's available - Venipedes caught on Lostlorn Forest (which is early enough to be a team member) are at lvl 21 or so, ready to evolve. Whirlepede has great defense and decent attack, while Bug Bite/ Poison Tail...

Yeah, i just laddered and saw it too... seems like they removed it yesterday or something. A log i have that's a week old lists Freeze Clause in the battle rules. I guess now it's not misleading at least...

The hypothetical scenario was used in order for people with half a brain to realize how broken freeze is (meaning that i never expected you to do so). This is a clear example of trying to troll and failing miserably, because i never claimed that. I reported the status freeze as broken, not the...

On the topic of complex bans, the instant a female Snorunt is released, i really hope we ban Snow Cloak + Snow Warning on the same team. This is 10x worse than OU Garchomp, because there are multiple abusers of the evasion boosts on the same team, making it highly unlikely that you won't miss...

wait... what? Paralysis is worse than Freeze? Srsly? Freeze essentially turns your poke to fodder, and it's definately worse than being flat-out KO'd (since when KO'd you at least get a free switch-in), while having a 10% chance to thaw out each turn. That's as much chance as Flamethrower has to...

The same thing happened to me earlier. (I hope this isn't related to the whole "following in-game mechanics" bull)

The only STAB attack Slaking should carry is Giga impact, now that gen5 mechanics allow you to switch on the recharge turn, this being the main improvent he received (team preview too to a lesser extent). Also mention Focus Punch, it's amazing for predicting switches to Steels. Have you tested...

Choiced Latios isn't that amazing, but LO DM/Surf/HP/recover is definately suspect-worthy. Even if you predict correctly and switch Nattorei in on DM, you still have to deal with -2 HP fire, and it laughs at passive damage. I wouldn't call it broken myself, but i can see where people are coming...

-Wrong. Walls like Milotic can still fire off powerful STAB attacks, even when Toxic'd, meaning that they can potentially still take out the pokes they're supposed to wall. Chansey, however, needs multiple turns to score a KO, meaning that it will never take out the poke it's supposed to without...

Let's relax a bit about Chansey guys - sure, it's VERY potent defensively, but that doesn't mean it's broken. Toxic Spikes make it absolutely useless, Fighting-types can switch into it with impunity, while even the special attackers it walls can instead beat it by using Sub + a stat boosting...

What times are you available for BW UU tourney?

When are you available for UU tourney?

This. Victini will be gone from UU whether we ban it or not, since it'll most likely be OU next month. Kyurem is pretty much the only ban-worthy suspect. The tier is surprisingly balanced.

Drought is an extremely powerful playstyle, but so long as you take it into consideration during team building, it becomes surprisingly easier to deal with. Firstly, people let Vulpix die on the very first turn of the battle, meaning that having Rain Dance on some random pokemon mid-game...

Deoxys-S had such low usage in April, it makes me wonder how its nomination was even allowed (since nobody had enough experience facing it). Its defenses are so crappy, every choiced/ life orbed pokemon can at the very least 2hko it, even through screens. Being the best dual screener is...

How can i determine whether my parents are from a different nation or not? Say i got a Ditto from the GTS, how can i check what country its trainer's from? Do Breeding BW and BW International give different results?

NU will be a tier with stuff like Huntail, Registeel and Aerodactyl in it, so it's a good idea to have it officialized. Considering it was actually competitively playable and enjoyable last gen too, this time around it might become a great tier for those sick and tired of weather. However, on...

I don't understand the point in having suspect testing rounds when the majority appears to believe that OU is balanced. It makes people think that there's something inherently wrong with the metagame whether that's the case or not. For the record, i personally find this metagame horrible, for...
