  1. Gen VII: Pokémon Sun and Moon (New info Post #5834)

    Huh, when it hits rockruff, did it not make the not very effective noise, or do my ears deceive me
  2. Resource ORAS OU Simple Questions, Simple Answers (Read the OP First!)

    Hey dudes, quick question. I know about the defense tiers calculator on that spanish site, but I'm wondering how to maximize bulk for pokemon expected to lose hp at a regular rate, IE via life orb or belly drum. It stands to reason that if you are expending hps as part of your strategy, then the...
  3. Programming Pokemon+ : Luck-free server (DONE!)

    The purpose of my suggestion was to provide a defensive boost breaking option outside of (p)haze, toxic and unaware. I think you are going to see problems with calm minders in particular but I suppose let it play out.
  4. Programming Pokemon+ : Luck-free server (DONE!)

    Suggestion: The previously high crit moves Give them the chip away effect
  5. Exeggutor

    That's very reasonable and I'll give it a shot. As of now in my experience they don't try to hit you with another status once they find out you have a preventative, regenerating berry. They just switch out or smack you with something supereffective. I think it might be pointless to even try...
  6. Exeggutor

    Because a lum berry can do two things. It can absorb status instantly, like if you switch into spore or thunder wave or something, or it can turn rest into 100% recovery. Getting a turn to do something by canceling a status effect when you're incoming is really the chief advantage. Otherwise...
  7. Exeggutor

    I've tried using this thing with a lum rest strategy and it's pretty tricky. Even with a bulky sort of spread you have to be very careful and come in on status. If they're not packing one of your many weaknesses you can sleep the incoming and... maybe lay down a relatively powerful special-based...
  8. B&W Research Thread

    Since they seem to be making a lot of the more redundant moves a little more varied, I wonder about moonlight. Can someone test to see if it's still boosted under sunny day? Perhaps they have it boosted under another weather condition now.
  9. Unified Diff of Smogon's OU vs Shoddy's 42 most popular

    Thanks for this, it's very interesting. Is there a way to track the win rate of teams involving pokemon X?
  10. DP Tier Discussion Thread - BL and UU

    RE: slowking Definitely BL. It is slowbro, with reversed defense and special defense stats, and nasty plot. Here's the best of its movepool: surf ice beam flamethrower/fire blast grass knot focus blast psychic shadow ball avalanche brick break drain punch focus punch...
  11. Differences between the 3v3 and 6v6 metagame

    Generally, moves that incapacitate a pokemon are, say, twice as good. Sleep is brutal. One of my favorite pokemon to use in 3v3 is exeggutor due to the sleep/explosion combo; pokemon like him are a good reason to keep focus sashes on your team.
  12. Things that every team should have.

    -Something with a ground immunity. In general, I like to have as many pokes with immunities as possible, because I play a switch-heavy game - it just so happens that ground is fairly essential as immunities go. -Something that can absorb status. I'd prefer my sweepers to not be shut down by...
  13. DP Tier Discussion Thread - BL and UU

    OHKO moves are 30% hit. Dark and poison gets dual stab and covers every non-steel type save skuntank (not really an issue), toxicroak (questionable), and t-tar (switch out) neutrally at least, and that's all you need. The psychic steels all take neutral damage from night slash as well...
  14. Tips on getting into the groove of school motivation?

    The trick is to only do things you're good at. What kinda academic career are you looking at?
  15. DP Tier Discussion Thread - BL and UU

    A quick look at the BL list says that really, only shedinja and regigigas strike me as weak enough for UU, but I have never used them, so I can't really comment. Re: Drapion - this guy I have used, and the crit hax version is fucking terrifying. It can easily set up an SD, and after that...
  16. DP Tier Discussion Thread - BL and UU

    I didn't actually say they were equivalent or even similar ... Davimert pointed out that with Choice Specs Exeggutor's sp. att. is 573, and that that was "pretty deadly". I was merely pointing out that Choice Spec's Glaceon's sp. att. is similar park, it's actually higher 589, and that...
  17. DP Tier Discussion Thread - BL and UU

    Glaceon and exeggutor are not equivalent, even if they have similar special stats. Exeggutor is a psychic resist who benefits massively from sunny day, which is actually a viable strat in UU. He gains status effects, explosion, and recovery. All he really has to do to do his job is sleep one...
  18. DP Tier Discussion Thread - BL and UU

    Well, it isn't quite like jynx. jynx was better at dealing with hypno, with a psychic resist and a more exciting movepool - including stab on a particularly lethal type. A ninetales would have to carry dark pulse, and its hypnosis would be useless on the switch, then hypno could respond with...
  19. DP Tier Discussion Thread - BL and UU

    I agree that ninetales should be tested before moving it to BL. It seems to me to be one of those pokemon who can serve well enough in OU and UU, without being disruptive in the UU environment. Its relatively quick hypnosis and nasty plot with good type coverage and flash fire seems very nice...
  20. UU Special Walls

    Slowking is certainly better, I was working under the assumption that he was going to be BL without a doubt. Wailord isn't great or anything, but he has a few switch ins that are relatively safe - WoW, fire moves, ice moves, water moves, certain types of setup. 95 base SP atk, beneficial...
