  1. Hardest Relative NPC

    I wholeheartedly agree with Misty and Whitney being a pain in the ass to battle. I checked the first and last two pages of this thread and I've seen no mention of the Hiker at the end of Rock Tunnel in RB. When I was 6 he was the ultimate threat, the last thing that stood between me and my way...
  2. Munchlax

    Personally I like using CB Sawk, it makes a great antilead, and can really punch holes through things while your opponent is trying to set up in the early stages of the game. I ran CB Sawk through the calculator out of curiosity: 252+ Atk Choice Band Sawk Close Combat vs. 0 HP / 252 Def...
  3. Ask a Simple Question, Get a Simple Answer - UU Edition

    My bad guys, thanks for the answers anyway. I've got a Scarfed Flygon on one of my teams, I was just wondering If I could swap its item and use a different scarfer in its place.
  4. Suggestions

    Could there be an option to order the list of teams in the teambuilder? Being able to order the list by name or tier would make it a lot easier to find/edit a team when you've got upwards of 20 different teams ect.
  5. Ask a Simple Question, Get a Simple Answer - UU Edition

    Is there anything major that Choice Scarf Flygon out speeds that a Choice Band variant can't? Assuming they both have the same nature (Jolly/Adamant). Thanks a lot.
  6. Classic Games Thread

    I kicked butt in Tekken 3 when I had my PS1 way back when. I love all the older Final Fantasies (IV, V and VI especially) but VII is my favorite from the PS1 era. I found that if you ignore the Cloud/Serphiroth fanboys as well has all the haters and play the game for yourself, you'll find that...
  7. Pokemon Adventures Manga Discussion

    I only have the R/B chapters (it's like $60 for all 3) but I love them to bits. To me it captured the essence of Pokemon being about an adventure much more than the anime did (and I've watched every english episode :D). Yellow was a bit weird but I did like how Lorelei's Dewgong and Closter did...
  8. The Most Facepalm Worthy Thing You Have Done in All of Pokémon

    This has already been mentioned, but when I was younger I would always train up my Togepi on Chrystal with Metronome as its only attacking move. It would always use Selfdestruct or Explosion when I hadn't saved the game in ages ;-;
  9. Pokémon Design Misconceptions

    When I was little I always thought Golbat in R/B was putting it's 'hand' into its mouth, like it was eating something. It took a while before I realized it had its tongue sticking out. Also I didn't realize that in R/B Graveler has no feet and that it's hovering. I always thought it lower set...
  10. Apprentice Program: Round Seventy One

    Username: jmorris Age: 19 Pokemon Showdown Username: jmorris Your timezone and usual hours of availability: GMT + 13 I'm on holiday so any time works for me. Beggars can't be choosers. What tier do you want to learn?: I'm really interested in BW2 NU and RU as I've had some decent success there...
  11. LC Stats - February 2013

    It's gonna take something big to shift the top 3 from their places. | 27 | Pawniard | 5.92929% | 856| 5.334% | 687| 5.173% | | 28 | Tirtouga | 5.90181% | 870| 5.421% | 662| 4.984% | I'd like to see these guys get a bit more usage, I mean where they are is great, but surely nearer to 20...
  12. Pokemon of the Week #11: Grimer (See post #150)

    I've never really given much effort into using Larvesta in any of my teams. It has the right moves to make it stand out, I've just never liked that x4 weakness to SR, or fire types in general. A team with a core of Eviolite Larvesta, Staryu and Foongus (maybe Shroomish?) might be worth a try...
  13. LC Stats - January 2013

    | 54 | Omanyte | 2.64803% | 636 | 2.573% | 534 | 2.607% This is sad. Omanyte is a great hazard setter with access to Stealth Rock, Spikes and Toxic Spikes, the set I usualy run is Stealth Rock, Protect, Scald and Toxic. It's great to catch an unsuspecting Scarfoo off gaurd with Protect as...
  14. Do you prefer newer or older games?

    I actually find it quite hard to play through the 3rd Gen games. Once you get to mauvill (not sure how it's spelt) there's a huge lack of pokemon to catch or train against. In nearly all of my playthroughs the only decent thing to catch in that area is Electrike, and even then you have to make...
  15. The Troll Poll: Liepard

    I really don't like this form of Liepard. Parafusion is a legit, yet annoying, strategy but it doesn't stop this thing from being an absolute troll. I'd be quite interested to see how Piloswine stands up to this thing. An immunity to Thunderwave plus Icicle Spear to break through Substitute and...
