Oh, absolutely, I know that. It's just, I, like you, prefer to play with my favorites when possible. Luckily, though, most of the OU and BL teir, at least from last gen, looked cool. It's almost like they realize the pokemon they're making is gonna rock. Oh, also, I want to say that I...

Sorry about Cress, I guess I just haven't been on enough lately. I just don't feel like I've seen lots of topic titles with her name, at least. And I find the pixies kinda cute... but I mostly disapprove. A trio of the same type, and a type that's already well covered by other pokes? I...

He learns CM, Rest, Yawn, and a nice spread of Sp Attacks (Psychic, Tbolt, Grass Knot...). Dump tons of EVs into HP and Def, you got a great special version of Dusknoir. I guess what I'm saying is: why all the hub-ub about Dusknoir but not about Uxie? Is it because of Cresselia? Cuz I don't...

Hypnosis is a good move, but Dream Eater is not. NO ONE will just leave their poke in there to take hits. Also, I'm against using Sludge Bomb. I know the STAB is tempting, but Poison is one of the WORST attacking types in the game, it's resisted by alot and SE against very little. On the...

Eh, I'd argue that, even in that situation, it's not. If you get the KO, you're not even going to need to use Roost or Light Screen, and that extra power could get you that KO. "Eliminate the unnecessary."

I used to think of his weakness as an advantage too, because I used to use the EndReving set last gen. The set had plenty of problems and I see that now. I don't think U-Turn on the EndRevver is a good idea... I mean, yeah, you got him out, but what's the point? You wouldn't be able to switch...

I always felt bad for Arcanine. First, he looks cool. He has a great ability. And, not alot of people realize this, but he has the highest base stat total of ANY non-legendary non-600 club pokemon in the game. There's the 600ers, the 580 trios, then no other pokemon until poor Arcanine at...

The only thing that resists Dragon/Fighting is a Steel/Ghost. No such pokemon exists. So Dragon/Fighting hits EVERYTHING in the game for at least neutral damage. IF you don't mind having two Dragon moves on asingle poke, you can do Dragon Claw/Brick Break (or Focus Punch if you're good at...

Totally forgot about Lucario... Hmm, he doesn't seem to have a "massive" special attack like Overheat or such. I dunno if that special coverage can... I mean, Fighting/Dragon hits everything neutral, but is a Dragon Pulse, with 90 pow, gonna be enough to save his ass with only 115 sp attk...

It's just this proliferation of a whole lot of new "quick attack" style attacks, I'm not sure. I always loved Scizor, one of my favorite pokes, but I wasn't doing a BP chain, so I used him as my opening with Endure/Reversal. The idea was I'd use Agility, they'd switch in their fire user...

*slaps forhead* Big oops. I really should read the chart more carefully. Either way, all those are hit by Draco Meteor, so it's ok, right? I mean, you COULD do Thunderpunch instead... and get that coverage for bulky waters in exchange for having to rely on Meteor for any Grass CMer or...

I, too, support Thunderpunch between those too. WARNING: Elec + Ground is weak against Grass, so you don't have *complete* coverage... But I guess that's what Meteor is for. But what if it's a CM grass type like Celebi or a special wall/tank? Ground + Fire is resisted by nothing, so you...

Well, he is asking for the least type of moves used to "cover" all pokemon types, which suggests to me he's asking from an offensive standpoint. Looking to see what OU pokes resist these combos is great too, but neither procedure is inherently better than the other; in fact, they should be take...

I think the effectiveness of the Yamn/Spikes combo is being overblown. All they have to do is just let some poke take it (preferably something that wouldn't mind it, like a Sleep Talker, Natural Heal, or having a healer on their), then switch out. And then that's it, they won't be doing any...

I don't suppose anyones written a program that has already figured this out for us? Or at least has a program with which we can check typings we're curious about? This list is great and all, but the next step is to see what pokes have movepools that include two excellent attack types from this...
