Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
With one sample test of proportions
Against null of chance = 0.2, p = 7e-5
However for chance = 0.25, p = 0.5165
True chance is likely not 20%, but not conclusive that the chance is not 25% yet (or 35% for the fact)
lol, I just bred two boxes of Modest Slowpokes.
The ATK/SATK selection is not based on defensive stats. It's based on damage done at the beginning of the turn (before any moves).
Based on our current understanding, it would calculate SATK -> SDEF, ATK -> DEF and see which does more at the...
Brain fart. I was thinking along the lines of more Pokemons learning this move via egg moves. We'll see if Gamefreak decides to make this an egg move for non-ice type moves. All ice Pokemons with high SATK pretty much suck.
This move has the potential to be broken next generation if the right pokemon gets this move. This move is A+, users of this move can't are either too slow, too fragile or have too small of a satk.
Imagine Jynx or Rotom somehow getting this as an egg move.
I disagree with Cloyster's usability in any generation, but concensus rules.
11 years of time doesn't change a pokemon's usability. We have gone through RSE, DP, BW, BW2, and are now at XY. Camerupt was never viable in the RSE OU metagame, and still remains non usable despite the passage of...
Cloyster does not belong on this list. He is UU, BL at best. I think his inclusion is a classic case of revisionist history, a case of residual impact of the XY generation. I personally Cloyster has perpetually been overrated every single generation.
Dugtrio needs to be dropped to B.
Camerupt...
That EV spread is beyond terrible.
170/124/216 Adamant nets you 6 extra HP with same stats all around. If you go Jolly Charizard X, make sure you hit 300 speed, otherwise it is a waste of Nature. Adamant will always be more efficient in terms of EV spread.
Your trick room team is most likely not going to work well in OU;
Trick room in OU should depend on trick room users that can go out with a bang ie Trickroom and Explosion. Your sweepers lacks sweeping power and can be walled somewhat easily. You either need very powerful physical or special...
You seem to be operating under the wrong assumption that your opponents are stupid (ie using Fake Out vs Crobat).
Hypnosis is only 66% accurate with Wide Lense; a lot of lead runs Lum Berry and is capable of heavily damaging/1HKOing Crobat. After the first miss/or Lum Berry activation, the...
Don't let CB Rock Slide ruin your fun. Passing speed without Atk to Tar generally won't float. You pay think that you are getting a surprise kill, but you are essentially sacrificing one Pokemon (Ninjask).
