Clamperl is even more viable in UU then in OU. In UU it has the same potential setup as in OU, replacing Bronzong for Claydol and the sun/moon things.Clamperl can be devasttating, but it's slow and requires external setup. I'd like to hear more debate on this one.

Except in UU, the walls are much less defensive...
What in UU can switch into Surf, Ice Beam, and HP Grass?
Kill three pokemon.And then you only have 3 turn left of TR. I'd like to see what clamperl can do when theres no TR.
Great so he can kill Clamperl after some setup. That doesn't make him a counter.Kagster123 said:Also Modest Nasty Plotted' Life Orb vacuum wave does 84.31-98.73
enough for fake out to kill clamperl if toxicroak dies.
I don't know where you got those numbers, or why you gave it Speed EVs. DeepSeaTooth Clamperl tops at 500+ special attack. Always give it HP EVs too.Lesha said:Clamperl is also very slow if I remember correctly, let me check mine, I have one with the EV's from Smogon's Deep Sea Tooth set.
Okay, so a Modest Max Speed and Special attack Clamperl is only 163, I don't think it is going to have the chance to trick room, let alone to lay the hurt on Toxicroak.
I'm nto sure If I did give it speed EV's, I just assumed I did. Anyways, I still think that Clamperl could easily be OHKO'd due to it's extremely low speed. It can't always rely on Trick Room.Kill three pokemon.

Since Clamperl usually comes in after Claydol / Solrock / Lunatone Explodes there is no way Toxicroak will have that chance at Nasty Plotting.

If we are basing NU on usage in UU (like I suspect and hope we will), we must have a tier between NU and UU. Usage rarely creates balanced tiers. Just like we need a tier between OU and UU (BL) because UU is based only on usage in OU, we need a ban tier between NU and UU (as yet unnamed) because NU is based solely on usage in UU.Uh, I really doubt there will be a ban tier between UU and NU.
It can actually rely on Trick Room fairly reliably. As long as you build your team around it...I'm nto sure If I did give it speed EV's, I just assumed I did. Anyways, I still think that Clamperl could easily be OHKO'd due to it's extremely low speed. It can't always rely on Trick Room.
What happens when you get Taunted? Even if your opponent doesn't manage to stop the first Trick Room, you can still pretty much stall out Trick Room, leaving time to taunt the next person.It can actually rely on Trick Room fairly reliably. As long as you build your team around it...
Because you obviously predict right 100% of the time.Stalling out TR may be hard for you to do, but in all my time battling, I have never had a problem dealing with it.

You have never fought against a Trick Room Clamperl UU team before have you? Don't lie. Answer honestly.
