Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
The Hornets have the 4th best rating in the East and 8th in the league. And thats despite an awful start to the season.
The Magic have been really bad but they do have the talent. Last year the Knicks and Pacers clicked during the playoffs after a relatively underwhelming regular season. I am...
The Thunder got the perfect possible draw. Deservingly of course since they are the #1 seed but still. First round they'll be facing a weak play-in team, second round they get either a heavily injured Rockets or heavily injured Lakers. They'll drop 1 game at worst.

I do not know which kind of...

Not all roadblocks are made equal. There's some gym leaders that are a walk in the park and do not deserve...
I am not sure this is a fair criticism. The way to rate a pokemon should rather be "what are the main roadblocks in this game" and then evaluate the performance of that pokemon against those roadblocks. I do understand that opportunity cost and availability are also factors, but in most pokemon...
Just for the record I messaged my opponent, who has not logged in since Mar 24th. I will try to log in again just before deadline but if he does not show up I request activity win.
The english translation is a bit inaccurate. The original Japanese mentions "The user draws life energy from nature". Which is why so many ghosts learn it, and "inert" or alien pokemon can't, it's meant to be some sort of "spirit" energy.
