Using LCs in OU/Ubers can be really good if used correctly. Mincinno can hax you to death with tail slap + Kings rockWhen I started laddering on some alt, there was a guy using Mincinno... yeah. Not even Cincinno, but the pre-evo. If you're going to be a dumbass who uses LC stuff in OU, then at least pick something that isn't totally random...
But if you're going to do that why not use Cincinno.Using LCs in OU/Ubers can be really good if used correctly. Mincinno can hax you to death with tail slap + Kings rock
Fixed.Using LCs in OU/Ubers can be really dumb. Mincinno can hax you to death with tail slap + Kings rock, but will probably die first.
can't be that taunt bait now, can we?Somebody used a Drain Punch Blissey. Drain Punch.
How is Blissey supposed to recover? Using Rest? Does this look like Gen 3?Somebody used a Drain Punch Blissey. Drain Punch.
It's actually pretty annoying to fight this thing. Each attack gives it a 41% chance to flinch you. And, of course, every time they use this I get flinched 4 times in a row.Fixed.
Why not just use something like jirachi if you're going for that (not that hoping to hax a poke to death is a good strategy.)
Fling isn't supposed to work with Poke Ball.I saw a guy with a team consisting of the following.
- Fling Chansey w/ Poke Ball (i'd calc it, but the calculator doesn't have poke ball)
Well speaking of FlingFling isn't supposed to work with Poke Ball.
Not to offend or anything, but is this even legit? What relevant thing does it even outspeed with a scarf?I was facing a contrary shuckle who was shell smashing himself to immortality this morning. Luckily my slowbro still had a scarf to trick onto the bastard.
Usually when you give something that slow a scarf, it's to trick it onto something that may try to set up on you, or otherwise use a move that doesn't do anything. It cripples most walls, mostly because they have to switch if they want to heal or do anything.Not to offend or anything, but is this even legit?

Slowbro only reaches 261 (by calculations) with full Speed investment and a boosting nature. Revenge killing is a huge NO, which leaves us to stopping set-ups. The surprise factor is the only thing this has, but when you're giving base 30s a Scarf something feels wrong (for me, anyway).Usually when you give something that slow a scarf, it's to trick it onto something that may try to set up on you, or otherwise use a move that doesn't do anything.

All true points. It's kind of gimmicky, and typically works better on faster 'mons. I'm just telling you the typical strategy with it.Slowbro only reaches 261 (by calculations) with full Speed investment and a boosting nature.

(They can easily know you're scarf when it outspeeds something it shouldn't)
Scenario 1: They switch in not horrbily set-up mon. You're choice-locked.
Scenario 2: You switch in on set-up mon to in an attempt to stop them from setting up. They're already set-up in the switch turn.
Scenario 3: (In the case of a double switch with set-up mon and Slowbro): You outspeed, Trick, they set up, OR they set up, you Trick, they're faster and stronger (unless it's something like rocks). Most of the offensive set-ups have higher speed than this
Not included the choice of the enemy attacking, which means another free attack. The only thing I see relevant is you outspeed Chansey, but if you really want to stop set-up/cripple walls, just use Knock Off, reasonably faster Tricks, Taunt, or things similar. Outside of the surprise factor it just looks "funny."
Point taken :DAll true points. It's kind of gimmicky, and typically works better on faster 'mons. I'm just telling you the typical strategy with it.
In this case, it worked well because it was a huge, very slow wall, which was all that mattered.
Honestly, I don't see how that's silly. After all, even freakin' Terrakion is currently UU( to be exact, BL), and please don't tell me that you think using Terrakion is "silly".Old things I've seen so this isn't completely off-topic:
I keep seeing UU mons on people's teams. The best part is they win whenever I see it, because the other person tries to spore their sub...
