  • I'm sorry but I had lost my last match, they must have done a mistake.
    My last opponent was zoroDark, I think you'll face him.
    Hey Arcticblast, I'm trying to get a general idea of what people think about having Sciztar's Trick Room Guide to BW to be put on Smogon's website. I'm reminding people that Smogon's older Trick Room Guide is out of date and some of the Pokemon who were good in Trick Room are not viable in the OU like they were in DP. This guide is a big step up from the older guide, because Sciztar mentions the use of late game sweepes which the older guide never mentions. If you agree or don't agree with the article please state on his aticle your view.
    Saw your post on simple questions page and wanted to let you know that I have an inactivated Keldeo event on my Black 1 cart. I'm unsure why you need in inactive though. I'll help you out if I can, but if you need something like someone to "rip" their gamesave to a computer, I don't have the tools to do that. So I guess just let me know.
    Oh, I thought this random tourney was dead. :v I'm GMT +1 and I can play mostly from 8pm to 1am. See ya on Showdown.
    I've decided to use pawns like dog, because that's what it does if it's used right. Also, I agree with you. Priolu is a horrendous name.
    Been meaning to tell you, but haven't actually seen you on IRC or whatever. Lay off on /fr...most of the names you /fr aren't inappropriate at all. See: the ban appeals including you.
    Hey we are paired for round 1 of the OST 9. I'm gmt -5 and available 5:15-9pm monday-Thursday and available 4:30 pm-10pm on Friday and available most of the day on the weekends. Though we will have to wait to see if gene is banned or not.
    sorry, i was afk when you pmed me. i'm a little stumped too, but i'll think about it and get back to you
    sorry about leaving, my laptop crashed and I had to go anyway (Plus I had lol like 10 pages open)

    After thinking a bit more, I think your best plan of action is to add a fighting type to your team. Every team needs firepower and a fighting type will help you get past pesky walls like Blissey / Chansey. I think the best one for the job would be to use Breloom over Roserade. It's really standard, I know, but here are some benefits:

    no more special wall weakness. Loom deals with Blobs well, and Tenta/Rachi can be killed by your two ground types.

    keeps water resist- it's vital because a pokemon like Cloyster with Hydro P or Vaporeon can just sit and wiitle you down to low health.

    it can set up- low and behold, a sweeper. Mach Punch can be used as ditch revenging, and Bullet Seed takes care of bulky waters, just like Roser.

    Decent synergy with Tres. There's a flying weakness, but with Rachi and Chomp, it shouldn't be a problem

    thanks for the team, man! I hope this helps
    The article is now open for business, and you're one of the five writers assigned to the task. Have fun. I gave Birkal the green light to let you inside the workshop, so if you still cannot enter, PM or IRC him about it.
    yup, it was

    pokemon name - real-world-speed supposed-method-of-travel - base-speed/max-speed

    base speed vs 252+ speed scale differently so i figured it would be useful to list them both, but with pidgeot and dragonite being such extreme outliers, it prob won't make much difference. still, it shows how ridiculously pokemon scales - dnite and pidgeot at mach 2 flight, with their base speeds being below 100... how fast is deoxys-S at that rate? depends on how you fit the data, but the general answer is "extremely fucking fast" lol
    got lazy, but 99% of the data points are pretty much composed
    hell i'll just list em here:

    HUMAN - 25mph running - ??

    pidgeot - mach 2 fly - 91/309
    rapidash - 150mph gallop - 105/339
    doduo - 60mph run - 75/273
    dodrio - 40mph run - 100/328
    dragonite - 1560mph fly - 80/284
    skarmory - 190mph fly - 70/262
    onix - 50mph burrow - 70/262
    sharpedo - 80mph swim - 95/317
    linoone - 60mph run - 100/328
    drilbur - 30mph burrow -
    dugtrio - 60mph dig - 120
    tornadus - 200mph fly - 111
    metang - 60mph hover -
    latios - "faster than a jet plane" - 110
    empoleon - "as fast as a jet boat" -

    there are a LOT of mons to read descriptions for x_x but you can find most of the ones that even mention speed, just by looking up "miles per hour" on bulbapedia. if you graph this shit, it will be hilarious. pidgeot and dragonite mess up the data so much that it's completely unusable lol
