Sing is a good mention for those high risk players. It gets power from being learned by Pokemon who people don't expect to use a sleep move (Blissey). Although 55% accuracy is depressing, considering Hypnosis is 60% now, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw it more. Oh, and Skill Swap. In the old...

Start crying. I may have worded my post badly, but you help prove the point I was trying to make. Like rain teams, double team teams could have the power to become devastating. And, like rain dance teams, their effectiveness could be severely nerfed by a single move/Pokemon (Haze). If most...

Oh my gosh, thank you MaskedNitpicker. One of the reasons I'm tempted to take hours out of my life to build a good wi-fi team is because shoddy for me has become to predictable. I try out some "gimmicky" off the beaten path strategies to keep it interesting. I don't want to sell out and build...

Did anything happen to jrrrrrrr?

Well nothing's perfect of course when it comes to polls. Maybe a better idea instead of taking a poll right off the back if there is testing is to have a discussion. That's what's kind of happening with the new UU testing right? Evasion would probably be a broad change so maybe it would be a...

I support testing (as should be apparent if you've read any of my previous posts) but how the tests should be judged makes things complicated. If evasion Gliscor or to a lesser extent Cacturne, Glacion, and Froslass are extremelly effective and overcentralize the metagame by requiring users of...

Sarcasm... I don't have a problem with Dragon Dance. I was using it as an example of how people could over-exhagerrate a moveset.

I don't see why we're so worried about evasion so much. I think dragon dance is a much bigger problem. I mean, with one move and a Pokemon can outspeed a lot of it's counters and has an extra attack stat to use! Imagine how deadly a dragon dance Gyrados could be with a set like (Dragon Dance...

Bolded parts the things I had problems with. First paragraph: Sure, a lot of things could exchange moves, but would they want to? With an agility a metagross can combat most everything and has explosion for things it doesn't. With a doubleteam... It can avoid it's counter about 10-20% of the...

Being haxed out of a win is always frustrating. But this isn't an automatic hax button. Double team takes a turn to use. Set up turns are generally used when you know the opponent is gonna switch. In this fast paced game a turn means a lot. What else can you do with a turn? Boost your stats to...

Well I've played ubers a bit and this looks like a pretty good team. Good job for realizing the danger of a darkrai lead, I use trick or treat set of darkrai and I consider it the best lead in ubers (barring of course the counter lead). Considering this is an all offense team I would need...

Pretty good warstory. I do enjoy seeing Cloyster being used effectively. The end kind of sucked though even though I'm sure it was tense to those actually playing.

It might be. I actually started a discussion thread on those moves and it got moved to policy review where I can't comment on it :pirate:. But my two cents is evasion and OHKO I feel aren't banned because they are broken, more because several people feel it makes the game unenjoyable. Moves...

Now I don't know about how he works on this team, but I personally never found Dusclops to be very effective unless he was breaking spin attempts, especially on a spikes team. Not to say he isn't a tough Pokemon, but you can usually find better sturdy attackers. But if you feel he's working...

Overcentralizing? Stealth rock maybe one of the most commonly used move on most teams but it's a move, not a pokemon. Ice beam and earthquake can probably also be found on most teams. I think just because stealth rock is as common as McDonalds doesn't mean it's overcentralizing. Plenty of...
