    Other Silly Things You've Seen On The OU Ladder: V2

    I found some silly things all in one battle recently. - Entei holding an Ampharosite - Typlosion w/ Blast Burn - Latios w/ Rest(First off, why not Recover or Roost? Second, this was straight up Rest, no chesto, no sleep talk) - Thunder Fang on Raikou

    NU Playstyle Classification Thread

    I'd like to nominate Grumpig for Stall under special walls. - Thick Fat helps sponge Fire and Ice attacks. Grumpig pairs well with another good stall mon in Roselia thanks to this. - Access to phazing in Whirlwind which other stall oriented psychics like Musharna, Bronzor, Eggy and Metang...

    NU Stats - June 2013

    I actually prefer Miltank over Sawsbuck as a Sap Sipper. Superior bulk, reliable recovery and a bit more speed edges Miltank over the deer Pokemon as a SS mon for me. Most people will expect the standard Thick Fat support/cleric 'mon and not a LO SS powerhouse so I've found it easy to get in SS...

    Research Week #1: Camerupt, Swanna, Tropius and Zebstrika

    Does the offensive nature of the metagame hinder or otherwise affect the playability of the set? It definitely hinders it. Jynx is terrifying to this set because she can easily come in and OHKO with her powerful Ice Beam. Ludicolo poses a threat because he can absorb LS and come back hard with...

    What if Scolipede got Coil? Centipedes are known to coil up as a defense mechanism/when being disturbed so it definitely makes sense. So, if the centipede Pokemon got Coil would it be used more or less than SD? On one hand, you get a double boost with SD but on the other hand, Coil boosts...

    Research Week #1: Camerupt, Swanna, Tropius and Zebstrika

    Ok, so I used Tropius on a defensive/semi-stallish team and it worked out quite well. Here's a screenshot of my Glicko2 and my team: http://pastebin.com/DPcRwmie First off, Tropius is, as I expected, a solid defensive Pokemon(actually, a little better than expected). I actually ran Giga...

    Research Week #1: Camerupt, Swanna, Tropius and Zebstrika

    Just a quick question, our deviation has to lower than 70 right? So far, I'm quite satisfied with Tropius. He's a decent defensive Pokemon and can annoy the hell out of some people real quick. His speed and Rock weakness sucks though and has 4MSS imo. I'll post my full opinions when I'm done...

    Research Week #1: Camerupt, Swanna, Tropius and Zebstrika

    For this project, I'll be using Tropius under the alt. Magtabuzz. Tropius is a good defensive Grass type with above average HP and decent defenses. I'll be using the standard Subharvest set for Tropius: Air Slash/Leech Seed/Protect/Sub @ Sitrus Berry. Exeggutor is arguably better at the role...

    Yep, easily one of my favorite Pokemon, probably my favorite Fire type. I liked it ever since it was introduced but I like it even more since I used it on my Black 2 team.

    Resource BW PU Viability Ranking Thread

    I nominate Omanyte for B-Rank. Omanyte @ Eviolite Ability: Shell Armor Nature: Bold EVs: 252 HP, 200 Def, 56 Sp.Def - Spikes - Toxic Spikes/Stealth Rock - Hidden Power[Rock]/Ice Beam - Scald While holding an eviolite, Omanyte becomes one of the best physical walls in the tier. In addition...

    What if Klang got Rapid Spin? Seriously, I don't understand why the Gear line of Pokemon can't spin in the first place. Anyway, the tier is obviously lacking in good spinners but look at Klang: nice bulk with evo, resists rocks, immune to t-spikes and can even be a setup sweeper. Thoughts?

    Who said Volturn was Neverused?

    I've had good success with scarfed Electabuzz in a Volt Switch role. He's slower than scarfed Zebstrika, but packs a bigger punch and doesn't have to worry about rocks like Rotom-S does. Elektross as a Volt Switcher is another good option. Having decent bulk, no weaknesses and immune to...

    Pikach-Chooses You!

    I voted never, ever. There are better Electric-type options in NU that have better bulk, good speed and/or power. Zebstrika- Good power and speed with two nice abilities in Sap Sipper and Lightingrod. Electabuzz-Similar to Zeb, has good speed and power with a nice ability in Vital Spirit...

    Roselia

    I can see Roselia fitting nicely into some stall teams. Although it competes with Garbodor as a spike setter, Roselia works better as a bulky spikes setter that has good recovery while Garbodor is better suited as a suicide lead. Since she works as a status absorber, Pokemon that hate status...

    NU Stats: November 2012

    That's definitely too low for Regirock. Unmatched physical defense, can spread paralysis and set-up rocks. People should really use it more, especially if their team lacks a bird resistance.

    NU Pokemon of the Week - Golurk

    I've used two different Exeggutor sets in the past: SubSitrus which is a good staller, get your sub up and annoy the hell out of your foe. I plan on using it on a full on stall team. The other set I used was Sunny Day sweeper. LO Solarbeam hits extremely hard pair that with HP Fire and either...
