Hey Cookie? Any idea why the site always crashes when running a search for articles? I've been trying to look things up for days. Is something going on?

If I'm online, I'm most likely breeding something.

It was just an idea! And I think maybe banning the combo of Magic Bounce and Baton Pass together, not magic bounce in general, might be a good idea, then? I NEVER said it's the only thing that makes it work! Remember, I said I wasn't that familiar with espeon, but I've had difficulties with BP...

I may not be an expert on Espions broken HA and its uses, but I am an expert on generation three, through and through. Baton pass chains were annoying back then, but it was easy enough to nip it in the bud before it got too far if you were paying attention, even without a dedicated counter. For...

Actually, I think it speaks volumes. Baton Pass has been around since generation 2, and yet it hasn't become a problem until just now. I think that whatever is causing BP to become a problem must be something newly introduced, and since people have been chaining since generation 3 or so, I doubt...

not having precise knowledge about every single element, even if I know the vast majority of the information and understand it, hardly counts as "Little to no knowledge" and since I'm not as familiar with espion as the rest of you, I admit that and don't try to make decisions about it. As I...

Even if it does work, you shouldn't have to dedicate half your team to countering one particular strategy. The game should be filled with a vast diversity of strategies with diverse checks and counters. Instead, we have an overwhelming influx of people using BP chains, particularly since...

Oh, a couple of them aren't, it's just me ranting about a couple of things that frustrate me. I have a tendency to rant when I get going a bit. You'd never see a player with a Zapdos knowing baton pass online in X or Y because nobody HAS that, the move is just close to impossible to get, but...

Then you've been very lucky. More than half the people I've fought use baton pass chains, and I've tried a lot of strategies to beat them. Prankster can help, but many of the status effects (non volatile ones, anyways) don't carry down the chain, and once you boost enough confusion is just...

I think ingrain should be added to this. I mean, roaring or whirlwinding or dragon tailing away something in the BP chain is one of its few counters, and preventing that is one of the things that makes this so broken. There is no pokemon that can naturally learn both of these moves for a GOOD...

I don't know, I've seen Cute Charm turn the odds when things were iffy, especially since most people run Pixilate and aren't expecting it. Particularly if you can get a female as male pokemon seem to be more common for some reason. Since you're running calm mind anyways to boost the special...

Two of Spiritomb's builds recommend the move sleep talk in conjunction with Rest, but all sources aside from this website, including Bulbapedia, have confirmed that there is no way to teach Spiritomb this move as it is not compatible with the TM and does not learn it normally. I have tested...
