anyone else notice the creative changes when poliwhirl evolves into poliwrath?
but really, for anyone who hasn't noticed, most pokemon are based off animals and they even have the animals name slipped into there name somehow.
Aerodacyl@focus sash
jolly
EV 4 hp 252 speed 252 atk
stealth rock
taunt
stone edge
earthquake/whirlwind
this aero set is probably one of the best damn leads in the game. you will almost ALWAYS setup stealth rock as well as ruining all of your opponents walls and keeping them from setting up...
Cacturne @ focus sash
seed bomb
sucker punch
sword dance
brick break/revenge
4 hp 252 atk 252 speed
adamant nature
well a thread popped up a while ago showing how good cacturne is with the above moveset, making it BL worthy. I have been using cacturne for a long time on shoddy and I think...
nice battling you bologo, I had no idea this would end up as a warstory. but you have to admit, if that draco meteor wouldn't of missed at the end then I would of won, also the poliwhirl outsped my salamence because I didn't max out its speed EV (since its mixed). very nice warstory though...
well the no guard thing with fire blast makes it pretty neat, even though physical walls have a annoying time already walling machamp because of the %100 confusion. dusknoir still walls the crap out of machamp though.
yanmega@focus sash
4 hp 252 sp.atk 252 speed modest
bug buzz
air slash
detect
hypnosis
freaking amazing lead, only thing that really messes it up are sandstorm leads and missing a hypnosis when you really need it to hit
sometimes like using...
aerodactyl@focus sash
jolly 4 hp 252 atk 252 speed...
porygonZ@life orb
252 sp. atk
modest adaptibility
tri atk
sub
nasty plot
filler
nasty plot on switch to bliss, then sub and block sing/Twave, then nasty plot again, then 2HKO. this set would probably work better than a gimick physical PZ. sure the physical set would surprise a bliss, but...
I have noticed that in a lot of the DP analysis that a choice band/choice specs set is always just thrown in there to fill up space. but does anyone still even use choice items? the only one of the three choice items I see being put on teams is scarf since there isn't any other kind of item...
a Gallade with adamant and max atk with life orb after a sword dance can barely 2HKO a impish Dusknoir that has max HP and def, it will 3HKO it if dusk has leftovers or willOwisp.
why isn't Yanmega on the list? he should atleast be BL. with a focus sash and hypnosis he is one of the best leads ever.
and about celebi, I dont think it should be uber. Tangrowth is better than it anyway. if anything, Cresselia should be up for talk about being uber and not celebi.
Blissey is on just about every single team in this gen, its insane. is explosion going to be standard for alot of the good special attackers now a days? like gengar, heatran, magnezone, and azelf. blissey is even more unpredictable this gen with calm mind sets, singbliss, and charge beams...
electivire after a speed boost with a life orb and the standard set is very hard to stop. mainly because one of the most used physical walls, skarm, cant take two thunderpunchs. but an electric move is the ONLY thing electivire can switch in to, its still a fragile pokemon that cant take a...
