General Analysis: The 200 metagame

Credit goes, besides myself, to Kikuichimonchihfoiuh3 (once he posts here I will correct the spelling) for starting his guide. After writing my own version, I checked his if I missed anything.

Guides that are uploaded, like this one, are not completely done. They never are. You can always post suggestions, and if I feel that it should be mentioned (or some other editor does), then it can still be edited in.

Have fun reading!

this guide is great, especially for those who have little or no knowledge of the 200 game (ie me)

On the first DDmence Brick Break should be added as an option in the last slot.

Edit and I thought Rhydon doesn't get Double-Edge in 200?

i think it learns it as it levels up..like lvl 62 or something

JMC had a reliable Salamence counter with Lunatone, something like Ice Beam/Protect/Hypnosis/Psychic. You'd have to ask him for the EVs, because I don't remember.

my favorite RS 200 memory was using Vileplume on my team (Sleep Powder, Sunny Day, Solarbeam, HP Fire) The only real counter was Salamence, since even Weezing was 2ko's by solarbeam. I used it in a Marble Palace Tourney and beat like 2 out of three of my opponents 4-0 with it. It was purty.

Oh btw ToP, i had calm mind over protect, mainly to counter skarm that thought it could take it. Heck if i remember the evs...

For 'plume i had max SA and like 198 speed to counter the timid 358'ers. Vileplume is a deadly little bastard.

Where are Crobat and Kingdra?

I love Vileplume to death, I'll edit this in...but if it's so good, why did I NEVER see this thing? :(

Where are Crobat and Kingdra?

I have used Crobat and I considered to put it in..meh if I'm putting Grumpig and Hariyama in I might as well do this. Crobat is rather easily countered though - Metagross, Skarmory, Weezing, statused Milotic...however it's the only thing that can stop a healthy Calm Minded Alakazam 100% of the time.

About Kingdra...Regice, Milotic and Ludicolo of course run over this, unless it can Toxic them to death. Nonetheless considerable.

i heard flailgoose was big then too

Zangoose doesn't learn Endure or Substitute, so I doubt that's any useful. Plus Metagross, Skarmory, Dodrio, Medicham and shit own Flailgoose so hard it's not funny.
