Double Team is banned period from most metagames.

Good to know he's not as fragile as I thought. I expected a complete fold over to be honest. Wouldn't like gambling that their spec'ed though (I'm guessing you knew they weren't before hand?) Not opposed to anything now that it's all cleared up. Would never consider Fling an option haha.

Well then. Serves me right for relying on Serebii's description of the move which reads "Power doubles if user receives damage first." Rather then Smogons description, which I should have known to check anyway. Let this be a lesson to all you lazy folk! Pay Back + U-Turn is a really cool combo...

Stone Edge hits Starmie and Gengar for the exact same amount on the switch. It hits Driftblim harder (200 BP vs 100 BP). I hope i'm not being a stickler, and I know Pay Back is 100% accurate v.s. 80% accurate, but how much is that 100% accuracy worth v.s. the coverage you get via Stone Edge...

I've been eyeing up Primeape for awhile now because of Vital Spirit. My only issue with Pay Back is this: I can see it being useful on the predicted switch. After that though, what does the Ape survive, to strike back with a fully powered back for the kill? Against Cres and Dusknoir, it...

Thank you. That was my exact point, but more so that a pure physical team isn't going to be as effective as a pure special team. I wouldn't dare try to say a pure physical team is not as good as a well balanced team. We already know that already, and that's not the point of the thread.

It's not difficult, but you can also slap 5 UU/BL Pokemon and sometimes win as well. What Starman is basically asking is, can a all Physical Team work as well as say his all Special Team. Myself and a few others are arguing no. No one is saying it can't win a few or even a fair share amount of...

This only helps prove the point a bit. Gliscor/Weezing wall 3 of your Pokemon alone. Hera, Breloom and Garchomp. Now I know you can say "spore", but whose going to directly switch in Gliscor on Breloom? Everyone knows the spore is coming, so most likely we switch in our secondary threat to...

And Gliscor? Completly walls everything Heracross throws at him, and Herecross is arguably one of the most prominent physical attackers in the game. A Pokemon like Scarf/Band Medicham could do it with Ice Punch, but it's going to take a fair amount of prediction, and she can't exactly switch...

I think an all special team works better then a all physical team for a couple of reasons. The 120 BP special attacks can over come the ultimate special wall Blissey, with enough boosts. Same with Specs Luc Aura Sphere, and then Tri Attack/Hyper Beam Porygon. This is mainly because of typing...

If that's the case, then I apologise, and it is a valid complaint. There is no reason Azelf didn't smack Weavile in the face before leaving.

Which is the exact problem. Azelf uses U-Turn. U-Turn hits Weavile for Super Effective Damage! Azelf switches out. Weavile uses pursuit. Azelf is taken to town, by Super Effective 80 + STAB Pursuit damage. The way you're hoping it would work is if Azelf was SLOWER. In which case it...

Hmm yes. Knocking off it's band might be more dangerous then though. As it's free to threaten Growth with Horn, predict a switch and have my Poke take a Stone Edge in the face. Sleep seems like the best option then, but then I'm playing russian roulette with TWO pokemon =(, and prediction...

If you had Tangrowth as your physical wall, how in the world would you go about handling Heracross without doubling up on physical walls? I suppose sleep, and pray it's not carrying sleep talk. If it is, bank on the 33% chance of it selecting it and then only the 85% chance to hit? Any one...
