This is the team I plan to breed for the Battle Subway...anyone see any glaring flaws? Whimsicott @ Light Clay (Might Focus Sash) Ability: Prankster Nature: Timid EV's: 252 HP, 126 in both defenses, 4 leftover can go anywhere I recon. - Light Screen - Taunt - Memento - Leech Seed Whimsicott...

I'm trying my hand at Ubers lately. I had this interesting Uber battle I felt could deserve a warstory. So here it is. First off, my team overview. In no particular order: Leftovers are noted whenever I start omitting them. The same goes for my opponent's team. So here it is, the warstory...

So I made this team with some of my favored tactics. My main idea is "First you neuter them, then you sweep them". It works to a pretty good extent, really. So here it is, Team L.C. OVERVIEW: Tauros (M) @ Life Orb Ability: Intimidate EVs: 42 HP/252 Atk/216 Spd Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk) -...

While I'm not a great battler, sometimes you have these battles that are more interesting then others. And I like to write these things up when I got nothing to do. Like today. Had a nice close battle, so I just wanted to share it here...and make it a warstory while I was at it. This happened...

Wuh-oh, didn't realize we had a user named Captain Falcon. Sorry, didn't mean to steal your name... So I was laddering a bit with my F-Zero themed team, which is actually made for Suspect test, but with Garchomp gone and all, I decided to go on regular ladder. I came face-to-face with a guy...

So yeah, I've been out of the loop for a few months but decided to dust of me old team and give it a spin. Its nice but has some problems with certain pokes (Main one being Suicune, cant recall it being that common). So yeah, its generally an "Annoy Till They're About To Break" team. On to the...

I've got a stallish team build recently. Its nothing too spectacular but it's winning me a fair share of games. So I was at the ladder today as usual, and got paired with a fellow named Big Bang Fart. I've had some bad luck the games before, as did he. It seemed all of this was channeled into...

Long Warstory titles FTW. Anyway, this be my second warstory here on smogon. This be an UU battle between me, Lou Cypher and a man known as McKillington, who I did not found on this board. McKillington, if you want this thing gone, please notify me. I must note that I did play UU vividly in...

Now that my Smogon tour campaign is over, I think I can unveil my main team's main selling point; Choice Scarf Gardevoir. (WHA?) Gardevoir #282 Trace/Synchronize HP: 68 ATK: 65 DEF: 65 SPA: 125 SPD: 115 SPE: 80 Gardevoir is known to be a support Pokémon, with a knack for carrying moves like...

Might be just me but am I right in saying that Life Orb usage is getting insanely popular? I myself use Life Orb for a few reasons... 1 - I always back up my team with Wish support, which really helps Orbers out in the end. 2 - I'm not TOO hot on prediction. Life Orb is a lot easier to use as...

With the NYPC giving out Wish Cresselia's (As well as Baton Pass Starters, can work with Infernape), how will that effect the way ShoddyBattle/Competitor will be played (since obviously, it wont affect Wi-Fi that much) in regards to Cresselia use? Its problem is that Moonlight doesn't always...

So we all love that cute lil furball Eevee. But is there a way to make use of it? I saw one on PBR using the Protect/Last Resort combo with good results, but that was against a not so skilled opponent. Is there a way to make him make use of Adaptibility and Last Resort? I thought of Endure/Salac...

Lou Cypher, aka The Devil, went on Shoddybattle looking for a game. Little did he know he'd find George W. Bush waiting to accept his challenge. And so it began. George W. Bush was to face the Devil himself in a battle for world domination. Both bringing standards and not-so-standards to the...

I've been thinking. Why would one want to evolve Magneton? Now before you get onto me, there is a PERFECTLY valid reason to NOT evolve him. Said reason being named Metagross. Metagross and Magneton tie in speed. Magnezone is left behind. This means that if Magnezone gets in on a non-CB'd...

So I took a second look at Pimpkrow, aka Honhckrow. I noticed both Taunt and Sucker Punch there. Now I ran some quick numbers and got some cool results. With Life Orb, he'll OHKO any Electivire not running DEF EV's. He can 2HKO Gyarados and Salamence as long as they dont intimidate him, and can...

As I've seen all around, it seems as if Weavile is the most popular starter there is. As such, how would a Gallade fare as a starter? Weavile would most certainly run from it, allowing Gallade a free turn. Which he can then use to Hypnose/Thunder Wave/Will o Wisp anything coming in (Likely, a...

OK, please correct me if I'm wrong. Skarmory is the prime phyiscal wall in RSE due to his high DEF and his slew of resistances/immunities, right? Now, considering there are things on the physical part that can hit him SE, that part falls away. Enter Steelix. He, too, has some immunities he...

A Butterfree discussion. Sue me, I'm using it on Netbattle with success, and I can only see DP improving it. http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-dp/012.shtml Stats: HP: 60 ATK: 45 DEF: 50 SP ATK: 80 SP DEF: 80 Speed: 70 Trait: Compoundeyes. Raises the accuracy of Butterfree's moves by 30%...

Couldn't find a thread (at least not a recent one) about him, while he certainly deserves one. I give to you: GALLADE. http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-dp/475.shtml Typing: Psychic/Fighting HP: 68 ATK: 125 DEF: 65 SP. ATK: 65 SP. DEF: 115 Speed: 80 TRAIT: STEADFAST Increases Gallade's speed...

OK, I pretty much suck at maths and all those numbers, I usually copy the EV Spreads smogon's strategies list because I am not into calculating all possible outcomes. But there are a few things here I'd like to know. In this generation, I found it is usually a safe bet to switch in Kingdra on a...
