Fair enough. Just not a fan of the speed personally.

Corphish to B rank at best. No one will doubt he hits like a damn truck, but he's a bit slow, and you really can't get one until after the 5th badge, snipe the Good Rod from Route 118, and then backtrack to Petalburg/Rt 102, and it's a rare catch atop that, so valuable time is lost trying to...

Nominating Blastoise (Mega) to B tier. 79/120/115 is some respectable bulk, letting it tank hits fairly well with minor investment. Pure water typing means he can take hits from some of the harder hitters of the format, notably Talonflame and Aegislash, and KO them back with a water attack/Dark...

On the lost hotel, your clothing has nothing to do with it to get past the punks. You have to learn all the rollerblade tricks from the skaters in Luminose City. One's on the main road, one's in a cafe, one's in a building with an elevator, first floor, and the other's in one of the central circles.

He's still 100% usable for the rest of the game. He does have that lull where he just does horribly against Driftveil, and he can still be decent against Elesa if you have nothing else. After my first run: Magnemite: TOP FUCKING TIER. He means that you can faceroll all but one part of the...

So Hydreigon legally now has access to Dark Pulse AND Earth Power on the same set, right? How well positioned would a cannon-like set be positioned at the moment: Hydreigon @Life Orb EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Modest Nature Ability: Levitate ~ Draco Meteor ~ Fire Blast ~ Earth Power ~ Dark...

I've had that stupid thing switch in on me with a Balloon more times than I can count. Except for the part where Stealth Rocks keep getting spun off. You are right though, between Fire, Dragon, Ground, and Dark, we have perfect coverage against almost everything. Nothing fully resists the entire...

Dark Pulse AND Earth Power on Hydreigon? I'm sold. I'm now thinking of some simple punchy set of Draco Meteor / Dark Pulse / Earth Power / *filler*, where *filler* could be anything from U-turn for lure tactics, Focus Miss, which grants perfect coverage I think, or even Fire Blast to toast...

So I haven't played much, if at all since Excadrill got the axe. In short, someone want to just give me a fast lowdown on how much, if any, the metagame has shifted since?

Good warstory if nothing else, but I think once Gengar was at 8%, you could have stalled him to death by swapping to Chansey then something else. IIRC Destiny Bond doesn't trigger unless you make the killing blow. 8/10

Currently I'm dicking around with a UG Aggro grave-based deck. It's all kinds of hilarious. I've had 12/12 tramplers out on turn 4 with any luck, for instance, all of which get bigger. And I noticed that this deck could pretty much go straight scarecrow tribal. CAW CAW MOTHERFUCKERS. LANDS (21)...

I'm against this law in it's current form for good reason. I think I'm a bit more qualified to discuss how this law is shitty simply by virtue that I have a bachelor's in Computer Science with a minor in Networking and Internet/Web tech. I don't quite have the specifics on me, but how they'd...

I subscribe to a slightly different train of thought: Specializing in one offensive stat. You don't just arbitrarily add something saying "Hey, I need a special attacker just because." Most teams will run one physical wall, maybe two if it's more stall-ish. By potentially sacrificing a mon to...

Loving the concept, but I'm curious as to one thing: How predictable the bot will be. In an earlier post Obi you stated that it'd use minimax to determine the best moves to make, but would you perhaps allow some variance so it doesn't become too predictable (i.e. always switching to the absolute...

Well, since Excadrill and Thundurus got kicked upstairs, I finally found myself able to actually build a team that didn't rely on Mach Punch, Vacuum Wave, Gliscor, my own Excadrill, or some other weather to control Excadrill, lest it just murder bitches everywhere. I didn't see Thundurus often...
