good warstory, the only reason i even read these is to get an idea of what is going through the players heads (specifically the writers) and you did this very well as a few people have said, despite the battle being close the whole time, you were controlling the tempo the entire time and endo...

agreed, thats an awful lot of variation.

Fake tears would be more useful than giga impact on jolteon for random situations imo. Can be VERY annoying when played right. Not much that doesnt resist it can take a -2 special defense, life orbed, stab'd tbolt. Nobody really uses aerial ace on weavile because it just doesn't come in handy...

isnt it obvious? one pokemon is porygonz and the other is porygon 2 The fact that they do different things would make me even more in favor of allowing them (unlike having a blissey and a chancey for example)

I hate to quasi-necro bump this thread but as I've used these two pokes for a while now and I just had an epic moment with them on the smogon server I just had to share. I was getting my ass handed to to me and I was down to just my togekiss and my jirachi facing a specsmence, scarfed infernape...

As for claydol, I would replace it with a bulky (physical defensive) zapdos. First and foremost, it can rain dance. Secondly, its generally just an all around better pokemon than claydol. It can also spam thunder if you would like to abuse the rain some more. You're gonna want something with...

He woulda won if he had fired off some random fire attacks with his heatran on your -relatively- obvious switches! Not to down your story whatsoever, I definitely enjoyed it, good call on the team similarities.

Good to hear, hopefully your admins will realize that the nature of these servers makes it so that very little adminning is actually necessary, something that seems to escape the admins on most servers.

Obviously, but one can help sway any statistic if you really want to. The only difference here is that one may see a stake in the tier'ing of pokemon based upon this statistic (I disagree for what its worth) thus giving you a more tangible incentive to try and fuck with the numbers (unlike...

Not exactly the most exciting team ever but it works. As for not worrying about outspeeding gengar, you should note that a gyarados with a dragon dance is generally going to do a lot more sweeping than a motor drive'd electivire, especially the non mixed variant, there are a lot of poke's that...

Yeh, 3 choice users is an awful lot. Youre going to be switching in and out a lot and bronzong/zapdos/milotic don't really cover enough or are bulky enough to be constantly switching into attacks when you're switching out your choice users, although a scarfchomp is a good insurance policy for...

I've tried teams with a team goal, teams with no goals, and teams that just don't make any sense at all with varying degrees of success in each category. I seemed to struggle with each in a different way and for different reasons. For example, one of my most successful teams on shoddy was a...

good story. im trying to decide if all the damage his staraptor ended up doing by the end was worth letting you get up 2x toxic spikes while he woke up... the world may never know! from a poke to poke basis no he couldnt have known for sure what it was, but given that it was a lead and that...

Consider getting rid of hypnosis on gengar for focus blast for some good coverage, seeing as how you plan on sporing something off the bat hypnosis will commonly be a wasted spot, especially if you spore something that wont reappear for a while. On that note, that Breloom set doesn't make a...

As a few people have mentioned, you should probably forget sceptile all together as the detect/protect thing doesn't work (dear lord that would be annoying). As mentioned a machamp would work nicely and along those same lines a hariyama would fit in nicely in that same role all the while...
