Thanks for starting this thread HKT! Really appreciate the easy access to current player standings, as well as the prediction hype :) Some thoughts: [WOLF] UD vs dekzeh [SCTR]: UD seems to be in top form, rocking his unique brand of creative sets and sharp plays. Last week was a bit of a...

Dan :D

Who are some of the greatest ADV players, from back then to now, and what made them good? As objectively as possible, based on tournament wins, laddering success, teambuilding innovation, etc. Mostly curious about past players and their accomplishments.

Ok, thanks. When I tried it out on ladder, some guy claimed that the concept was his, so I wanted to make sure.

In ADV OU, who was the 1st person to use CM spam with Porygon2?

ADV OU

ADV: Don't use this: Crobat @ Choice Band EVs: 80 HP / 252 Atk / 176 Spe Jolly Nature - Sludge Bomb - Aerial Ace - Hidden Power Fighting/Hidden Power Ground - Shadow Ball Why It's Bad: Although Crobat has a great speed stat and decent attack stat, it's main STAB is terrible in OU. Poison is...

Not to mention Heracross learns Swords Dance unlike most fighters, has decent speed to threaten defensive Celebi with the OHKO, and has many viable sets, such as CB, sub salac reversal, non-reversal (rock slide) sub salac, resttalk, etc., which may require sacrificing a pokemon or two to scout...

I also think that Suicune should be dropped to A+ tier. Crocune is screwed by Leech Seed/CM/Perish Song Celebi, can be easily phazed out early/mid-game by Zapdos, and is beaten one-on-one by Modest CM Blissey (unless you pack a lot of SpDef EVs which weakens cune's survivability against physical...

won against Nails, gg edit: Jellicent can you update the score for laxes? Thanks!

yeah, it's to speed creep slow gengars, as well as 200 speed ddtars at +1, etc., but tbh not many people run the bare minimum 300 speed so the speed stat can be adjusted to exactly 300, or up to 310 or higher to speed creep other bulky gengars (even those w/ few speed creep evs). speed creep is...

here's a gengar spread I think cowboy dan made awhile back: Gengar (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Levitate EVs: 252 HP / 92 Def / 32 SAtk / 60 SDef / 72 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) hp and def to survive +1 hp fly from mence if gengar's at full, 301 speed to beat neutral-natured base 100 mons. the...

try giga drain/will-o-wisp instead of fire punch for gengar, since will-o-wisp also gets rid of forretress and can weaken a restless swampert. as for metagross, hp grass and leftovers over cb sludge bomb wrecks swamperts even if they are resttalk, allowing for aero and ttar to sweep later. a...

still no reply from Fakes. btw Jellicent it's musicaltide not multiscale xD
