Just looking at Lickilicky in a vacuum, because I haven't ironed out other aspects of my team yet, but: I'm going to be using a Choice Band Lickilicky with Explosion set for one moveslot. What combination of Body Slam/Return EQ Gyro Ball Focus Punch/Brick Break/Hammer Arm would anyone...

Heh, I didn't even notice that. Green'd be a lot more intuitive, given red and yellow were already used...

Good read, nothing to say that hasn't already been said. I must be the only person that doesn't mind the yellow text, actually. It was only used for the score, it's not as if entire paragraphs were written with it...*shrug*

Personally, I thought it was a little dry - commentary was sparse and it didn't really tickle my funny bone. Still a pretty easy read, though. I don't understand how that chipmunk meme has had such long legs...

That's cool if you actually mean it that way - I've had matches where someone will say gg where it's down to the final Poke for each person or something like that - but generally when people say it prematurely, as in this match, it's considered to be kind of condescending.

I echo the sentiments. Skipping fluff turns, like Protect/Wish whoring, is good, but some deviations from the standard format made it kind of an irritating read. That said, the commentary was excellent. Got a few good belly laughs out of it. And who cares if two blue bunnies were in it...

Pokemon is serious business, my friend. Personally, I play to crush the hopes and dreams of little kids. I only lurk around Smogon and play competitively so that I can learn the most efficient ways to dream-crush. :B

Best part of the story right there.

Props: No Blissey! Azumarrill! Tauros! Trickzam! Blastoise! Sure, three of those were on your opponent's team, but still, variety is the spice of life.

Does Substitute block Taunt? Please confirm y/n.

Can Ice Shard freeze? I was led to believe no - Serebii doesn't list it as an effect, and there's no mention in the move description or research threads - but then I was frozen by Ice Shard in Shoddy. Figured I'd double check here before reporting.

This is exactly why I EV my Agility users to hit 456 speed after an Agility, to make sure they outspeed everything up to Adamant Scarf Garchomp.

Walked to school uphill both ways too!

To be fair, there's still HP Ice. And this is the very reason I run Body Slam over TWave. Still, Togekiss switch in = no-no.

On Encore's mechanics... If used before the opponent acts, does it Encore the move used last turn or the move used the same turn (seeing as the opponent has already selected an action)? And since I can't remember the last time it was ever used against me, does move selection while stuck in...
