(Archive) Small Objective Changes Thread

Nope, I still see it. I'm not really sure why. I guess it's just my computer. I can ignore it. But I did take a screenshot to show it.



Middle paragraph.
 
With recent metagame changes, LO starmie is now the most common set. The generic rapid Spinner Set is far less common. Latest server statistics (dec 2009??) I could find support this, with more Starmies running LO than lefties, and ~70% running max/max spA/speed.

Suggest moving Non Choice Attacker to the top slot.
 
January's stats show Leftovers as more popular than Life Orb. This may have changed, though, and March stats should be coming out soon, so I'll check back up on it.
 
Feraligatr Subdance Sweeper

"If you decide to use Flail instead of Return, make sure that Feraligatr's HP is divisible by four. That way, the Berry's effect will activate after three uses of Substitutes, allowing you to have at least 25% HP left."

It should be:

"When using Return, make sure that Feraligatr's HP is divisible by four. That way, the Berry's effect will activate after three uses of Substitutes, allowing you to have at least 25% HP left."

With Flail, you want to have 1 HP left...otherwise at 25% health it's flat out worse than Return.
 
found something in an article that nobody will ever read but it caught my eye and pissed me off

There are few item bans in the 200 metagame. Other than Liechi Berry, no pinch berries are obtainable, as Liechi Berry is found on Mirage Island, whereas the others come from Jirachi via Bonus Discs. Aside from this, there are no other bans that effect competitive play. For example, while Thick Club is only obtainable outside of Ruby and Sapphire, Marowak is banned as well, making no real difference to a competitive 200 play team.

The other, more important, reason for doing this would be to have the one in three chance to remove Roar's negative priority modifier while using Sleep Talk.
There should be no comma after the word 'important'.

Finally, Typhlosion, being a Fire-type, it has the nasty weakness to Stealth Rock,
The word 'it' should be removed and it would make perfect sense. Alternatively, you could word it like one of the ways below:
"Finally, Typhosion is a Fire-type. As a result, it has a nasty weakness to Stealth Rock,"
"Finally, as Typhlosion is a Fire-type, it has a nasty weakness to Stealth Rock,"

But not like the above.

. Hidden Power Ice can also be used deal with those pesky dragons,
That would be 'to deal with those pesky dragons'. The author also used the word 'pesky' several times, which if not a homage to Elmer Fudd gets a little excessive.

Substitute variants can take advantage of a wide range of defensive Pokemon including Chansey and Registeel,
The Pokémon needs an accent lol. I'm not sure how big you are on that.

Alternatively, Explosion gives the opportunity to take down one more opponent after setting up Stealth Rock.

I fixed the rest of the corrections above; however, I left the Articuno and Azumarill alone. Articuno is, I believe, correct with the comma there, and every Pokemon word in Azumarill's analysis needs an accent, so I'll leave that alone.

choice scarf second paragraph

The main reason to give Tyranitar a Choice Scarf, however, is to absorb Trick. The majority of Pokémon who use Trick are Psychic- and Ghost-types weak to Pursuit. This means Tyranitar can switch in on a Trick no problem, and then Pursuit the helpless Pokémon as they flee. With the sandstorm Special Defense boost, Tyranitar can counter Latias, Azelf, and Choice Scarf Rotom-A with no problem at all. Tyrantar's convenient Speed allows it to out-pace ...
 
Gengar analysis, team options

Gengar Pokemon like Latias have common counters, meaning that if one of them can at least weaken its counters, the other Pokemon can have a field day against the opponent's team.
:s doesn't make much sense does it? I think that it should be Pokemon like Gengar and Latias perhaps?
