Seeing as this line learns Absorb, I would have to assume Goodra can learn Giga Drain via breeding, which would be a pretty good addition to a lot of offensive, defensive, and tanky sets. Only problem is, nothing it can mate with currently can learn Giga Drain. Seems like Goodra would be much...

Actually that's a pretty huge nitpick. How could I have missed that? *headsmack* I was probably confusing Clefable for Wigglytuff again. Oh well, that just means I'll have to bring Masquerain into RU, I guess. I'll edit the original post.

I'm amazed nobody has mentioned Stored Power yet. It's a pretty high risk, high reward team setup. If the pokemon using Stored Power doesn't receive a baton pass, SP is next to useless. This is a pretty common risk considering Masquerain's typing and stats. However, receiving a single Quiver...

How is Copycat+Prankster+Roar Riolu not banned yet? :T I was locked into the same situation in a battle I had just about won, the guy knocked me down to 2 pokes from 6, and Riolu was his second to last. The only damaging priority I was carrying, like a lot of teams, was Sucker Punch, which...

Here's my favorite set on him so far: Stoutland @Leftovers Ability: Intimidate Roar Facade/Return Rest Sleep Talk Nature: [/b]Impish[/b] 252 HP 4 Atk 252 Def With full defensive investment and Intimidate, we know Stoutland is quite bulky. Outmatched by Lickilicky and Miltank for sure, but...

I've been using Klang for a while now, with mixed success, usually dependent on miss hax from Gear Grind or the occasional Static hax. Imagine my surprise when I take a break from Pokemon for a while, and then come back to find my hidden gem on the front page of NU with everyone saying it's a...

I keep seeing Psycho Cut Absol mentioned. Am I the only one who has almost never seen an Absol use Psycho Cut?

I honestly think we're going to see a huge rise in Swoobat usage thanks to Simple being released. His bulk and attacking stats are a huge letdown, but his speed allows him to throw up a critical 2x Calm Mind before he can take a hit. In my experience with a similar set without substitute (used...

Spikes, yes. Toxic Spikes, definitely. But keep in mind he has a resistance to SR and is often carrying Lefties to recover the tiny damage he takes from it. Sucker Punch users are great checks to non-SubPunch Golurk, especially if it's not always obvious the poke is carrying it. Cacturne also...

Every day I'm shufflin'. But yeah, I REALLY do not want to deal with Eviolite+Marvel Scale+Rest Dragonair. He was already difficult enough to break down with just Eviolite+Rest+Shed Skin. But DTC has a point, Dragon Dance is half-wasted on a negative priority move. It's funny you mention this...

Glaceon @Choice Scarf Ice Body Timid 4 HP 252 SpA 252 Spe Ice Beam HP Ground/HP Fighting/HP Electric Shadow Ball Hyper Voice/Signal Beam/Wish This is a twist on the standard Choice Specs set. The main attraction here is how surprisingly fast it is with a scarf. Trick your...

Played around with DPunch Golurk a bit. Ran No Guard - Jolly - Life Orb - Rock Polish/DynamicPunch/Stone Edge/Earthquake. It doesn't have the raw power of Iron Fist, plus it gives Golurk trouble against opposing ghost types, especially opposing Golurk, since my Golurk didn't carry any Ghost...

Are BW2 move tutor moves legal in BW now that it has released in Japan? I'm guessing this is dependent on whether or not you can trade pokemon back and forth between BW/BW2, and I don't know the answer to that question.

This just in: Zangoose just broke PU. Zangoose @Toxic Orb Toxic Boost Jolly 4 HP 252 Atk 252 Spe Facade Close Combat Quick Attack Night Slash/Swords Dance Toxic Boost is just ridiculous on this guy. To be fair I've only seen him in one game so far and I was using an idiotic concept team...

EDIT: Someone on one of my videos has pointed out to me that Spikes+Disable is an illegal combination D: Snorunt gets them both as egg moves from incompatible parents. I'm leaving it as-is right now because I haven't had the opportunity to test alternative moves to Disable, but my most...
