  1. Technical Support

    My problem is that it just says: "You have been disconnected - possibly because the server was restarted" Now at first I just chalked it up to my bad luck (it wouldn't be the first time....), but I came on today with the same problem. Is the server actually down, or is my computer just being a...
  2. Small cracks lead to Major weaknesses

    I like the team, and I'm quite rusty but here's my rate (my input is in red):
  3. Headstart - Best Poke to Abuse a Free Turn?

    QFT Terrakion's moves are powerful, and he's extremely fast to boot. If you switch him in, nothing is going to like take a CC or SE to the face, even unboosted, so they switch out fearing the move that will kill them. He then proceeds to use the appropriate boosting move (which depends on the...
  4. np: UU Suspect Test Round 2 - Cold As Ice

    Legit is not the same thing as broken. People (not just you) have to understand that being viable is certainly not the same as being broken. Unless you actually think that glaceon is an unmanageable threat that deserves just as much attention as frosslass, then that wasn't really that relevant...
  5. Breloom

    Sweet. That means Chandy is significantly less of a bitch! I just want Breloom to get technician though, he'll really be a lot better than before. I mean sure his STABs are walled by any flying poke (bar the calcs Jumpan gave with Low Sweep that still shock me), but it'll be really cool to...
  6. np: OU Suspect Testing Round 5 - Sandstorm (Excadrill/Thundurus Banned)

    Earth Power, dammit. Why does everyone forget about Earth Power? D: Modest LO Hydreigon vs. 252/252+ Heatran: 97.4% - 115%. He doesn't need EQ >:( Oh and EQ doesn't OHKO Specially Defensive Ttar anyway, so even less of a reason. I do admit Ground/Fighting is bad coverage, but you don't...
  7. Breloom

    Why Effect Sp- >Choice Scarf Ooooooh. I feel dumb. Well anyway, that seems cool, but I just can't see any of those moves being a good idea to be locked into. All those moves bar stone edge (which has shit accuracy) have pokes that are immune to them, and if Shadow tag chandelure gets...
  8. np: UU Suspect Test Round 2 - Cold As Ice

    Unfortunately they can't do that, because a suspect testing round is just that-to see which pokemon are broken or not. If we allowed broken pokemon into the metagame, then there wouldn't be a point in the rounds. Also, I believe that it's a lot simpler to just patch up the scripts instead of...
  9. Breloom

    But the problem is that it still has that shitty accuracy, which is only magnified by the fact that you are using it more than once. It's just how math works; you are less likely to hit twice in a row with an 80 accuracy move than once with an 80 accuracy move. This essentially means that any...
  10. np: UU Suspect Test Round 2 - Cold As Ice

    Wait, so that was the problem? Well that's a hell of a lot better than the crazy smogon council conspiracy I was unfolding in my head. A lot more boring, but better. I guess in that case we've gotta use as many uber/OU pokes as possible and see if we can help. I mean if we tell them about which...
  11. Breloom

    Holy freaking balls Jumpman, those calcs make me even more excited for Techniloom's releae. goddamn it Gamefreak, hurry up and do it! D:< EDIT: @BurningMan He was assuming that something switches into breloom, which isn't that hard to do considering how the new sleep mechanics put the fear of...
  12. np: UU Suspect Test Round 2 - Cold As Ice

    That... is probably the least amount of information I have ever garnered from smogon since the last time I saw TorchicBlaziken post. Not trying flame someone I don't know, merely stating a (hopefully) harmless observation. Seriously though, this round has to start soon. I guess middle of...
  13. Zangoose

    ES would be the best thing this guy could ever get tbh. Unfortunately right now he's way too frail to do much, since he won't be able to set up an SD with his defenses, and even if he does he's way too easily revenge killed. I love Zangoose though, why couldn't he be like, 100 base speed? That...
  14. Sand discussion thread

    Carra sucks kind of badly, unfortunately. Even at +2 it isn't outspeeding much, and Aqua jet is just too weak outside of rain (which you can't exactly put onto a sand team). Omastar is cool though. He needs a better special movepool but with what he has he's pretty good.
  15. np: OU Suspect Testing Round 5 - Sandstorm (Excadrill/Thundurus Banned)

    Amen Eggbert, Amen. Whoever uses anything but Adamant LO should seriously reconsider their lives. Well at the beginning of the round I believed Thundurus to be broken (in the rain, anyway) and Excadrill to be laughable (I don't think I've ever heard of anyone sweeping with Exca since like round...
