yep, just as i was afraid of, this thread is largely terrible
lyfsaho, your video alone is indication enough that you honestly have no idea of the strategy behind wobbuffet. at around 4:00, lucario is granted a free turn even after a stupid wynaut sacrifice. anyone who is a competent battler would realize how dangerous that turn is for a SD lucario, especially in light of the pokemon that was actually switched straight into lucario in tyranitar (i shook my head at this irl).
then you say "Why the hell is Tentacruel an OU on the Tier List? Because every third person gets one now to counter mixape nowadays on shoddy. What is the purpose of Hitmontop's existance? To counter boah. etc, etc." when the answer is actually that both were important pieces used in the very popular RMTs of Obi and Aldaron that were copied, not what you just decided to assume. and in general you are telling other posters to get some battle experience because they don't know what they are talking about...that is the most hypocritical thing i've seen in a long time given what you've proven about yourself from your posts and video. posters like you are the kind i don't want posting in threads like this and are the reason we have to lock so many of them.
if you feel that i've singled you out, i have. your posts and football fanatic's, among a few others' are the reason this thread turned to shit by, what, page 3? 2? unbelievable. you two should just be glad i didn't infract you for the several posts in which you either insulted other members or were trolling.
anyway, i can't believe i have to repaste the definition of counter from an announcement that has been up almost a year and has over 20,000 views but whatever
A counter must be able to both switch into the pokémon it's supposed to counter, with little to no risk to itself, and also pose an immediate threat to said pokémon.
as Loki and MoP have tried to get through to a few of you, Raikou fails on the first count since it can be 2HKOed in normal battle conditions. meaning it isn't always at 100% HP and 100% HP minus the first Surf Damage if it switches into Surf, which Loki has said is the way a competent battler would use a Tail Glow Manaphy.
i'm actually being briefer than i want to be because i am now convinced i am essentially talking to a huge brick wall. over and over again the majority of you prove that there is no point in having a mass discussion about tiers. the fact that this thread has devolved into a pathetic flailing centered around the definition of a counter for like three pages is indication enough that our administration is right in locking most of these threads. many of you guys amaze me in how far off-track you can stray and how horribly unfounded your arguments can be yet you still post them. as i said in the last tier/uber thread i had to lock and hinted at in my post on page 9, our administration is working with colin on this after discussion amongst ourselves held in our inside scoop forum specifically to keep it from the utter pointlessness of these poll threads. i can't believe you guys have found a way to pretty much ruin the theorymon i once used to love
