Bulky Thundurus mainly focus on abusing Prankster with substitute, taunt, thunder wave, etc. That is why it doesn't run hidden power.Thanks. So are most not using either Hidden Power now?
Also, I haven't seen a lot of Tornadus lately, but is he still fast and frail, or has he gone bulky too?
That's perfectly legal. You can run a Poliwag and Poliwhirl on the same team as well if you wanted to. >_>Got a question regarding the legality of running a specific Pokemon in my Team. I have a Politoed in my VGC Doubles Format Team and I didn't know whether or not If I can run a Poliwrath in the same team as well even though they evolve from the same Pokemon. Is it legal to do that?
Assuming your speed is perfect, not much. You may have to rearrange your EVs a bit if you need to survive certain attacks, though.Okay, I can't RNG, say I have 26 and up in all the stats that matter. How much of a disadvantage would I be against someone who could RNG. I assume not much because it's only 5 points, but I figure I would ask to see what others would say.
I believe I am correct in saying no, you don't.I live in Dallas. Do I have to attend all 3 Regional Tournaments to qualify for National?
Also you will get more $$$ to pay for your hotel/airfare if you place 2nd or 3rd.I believe I am correct in saying no, you don't.
IIRC, if you place top 16, you are in.
Who knows though, if you are good enough to place in the first one, going to the other two might be both good practice versus other competitive battlers, plus, a lot of fun, still.
If you really want to use it, I suggest Chandelure, Zapdos, or Thundurus as good partners. It all depends on the rest of your team's layout, though.My question: If I use Shell Smash Cloyster, what's a good partner that counters Metagross, Scizor, and Zapdos?
I think Hitmontop would be a better answer, because he can use wide guard to protect from rock slides and heat waves, as they are pretty common threats to Cloyster, but Togekiss/Amoonguss/Volcarona might work if you're fearing direct attacks more.It's not the best but Rage Powder Volcarona can take down those mons and also distract their attacks while you set up a Shell Smash.
Also @ the person who asked about going to all the regionals - You don't have to, if nats is still open you won't even need regionals to qualify, you can just win money and byes with the Top 4 (which is pretty good incentive to go). You'll also meet new people and get to try out teams at a real tournament setting!
He also asked for something that could counter/check metagross and hitmontop gets destroyed by metagross. Therefore, I don' think that worksI think Hitmontop would be a better answer, because he can use wide guard to protect from rock slides and heat waves, as they are pretty common threats to Cloyster, but Togekiss/Amoonguss/Volcarona might work if you're fearing direct attacks more.
Hitmontop is also beaten by Zapdos and Thundurus so yeah, that doesn't really fit his problem.He also asked for something that could counter/check metagross and hitmontop gets destroyed by metagross. Therefore, I don' think that works
