  1. Pokemon Showdown private beta applications

    Hey, I wanna be a beta tester if it's not too late. My favorite Pokemon is Skiploom. Because who doesn't like Skiploom? Just look at that thing. It's just too nice.
  2. Wailmer (Analysis)

    "however, a Modest nature means that Choice Scarf Wailmer will no longer be able to outspeed Scrafty after a Dragon Dance," Tiny nitpick: Scrafty is mentioned here when it should say Scraggy.
  3. Amoonguss

    Seriously, bad source of information. He's super hard to OHKO if he's EV'd and played correctly. Not to mention that outside of Dream World, he doesn't have his ability, Regeneration, which is a huge deal.
  4. Ledian

    It's... better at taking special hits? It might end up in a different tier? Encore?
  5. Regenerator

    I run a fairly successful Regeneration team on the PO server: Lineup: Crobat (CB), Mamanbou (Mixed wall), Morobareru (Special wall), Tangela (Physical wall), Tabunne (Special wall / dual screener), Xatu (physically bulky hazard bouncer) Peaked at 500 on the DW ladder, currently at 323 now that...
  6. Reuniclus

    I ran a Stockpile Quagsire set. It was hard to set up, you rarely got a free turn against a strong opponent. Plus the set attracts Toxic and critical hits LIKE A MAGNET I dunno about banning rank, but he's a big pain in the neck. Also, the mere thought of Sub CM Jirachi makes me shudder...
  7. Reuniclus

    I really want to believe that Quagsire is good. He's one of my favorite Pokemon. I've played Unaware Quagsire extensively. In practice he can be useful... except once you realize that many, many stat boosters can 2HKO him while unboosted. Then, you start finding him getting killed by random...
  8. Whimsicott

    Good users of Xatu and Espeon run versions that can survive or avoid pursuit. I use physically defensive Xatu with Reflect and Roost. Not even Tyranitar can kill it. It's really funny when people try to kill it with a Scizor, as I easily kill those with HP Fire.
  9. Serperior

    Glare really isn't that big of a deal, really. I've never actually been hit by it, as usually Jaroda run Sub+Seed, and Crobat can still easily deal with them unless they run Glare AND Sub-seed, which is a really bizarre set that I don't think anyone would actually run. And the only way Glare+Sub...
  10. Serperior

    My favorite Jaroda counter is Crobat. Takes laughable damage from boosted Leaf Storms and OHKO's with Brave Bird. Unboosted HP Ice isn't enough to really faze him and he outspeeds easily.
  11. Magic Bounce

    Xatu gets poisoned
  12. Moody

    Octillery is still badass. So how about we discuss Inconsistent's future or non-future in the uber tier?
  13. Moody

    Listen to this guy. Inconsistent may be a pain to deal with, but at least try Morobareru if it gives you that much trouble. He's a champ and deserves a lot more attention. D:
  14. Xatu

    I've toyed with this set, and if you want to use it in OU, I'd recommend this build: Bold @ Leftovers 192 DEF, 168 SP.ATK, 148 SPEED Hidden Power Fire Psychic Roost Reflect I gave up defensive IVs in favor or just running Reflect and actually having some offenses. The problem I've had...
  15. np: OU Suspect Testing Round 1 - ...wait, I'm not Jumpman16!

    I thought somebody here confirmed that the mechanics changed, was this a mistake?
