  1. Smogon Doubles Ubers

    I love the "show 6, pick 4, 2 v 2" format, so I wish Free Battle Doubles on Battlespot had a ranked mode. As it is now, if you want to play doubles with ubers/legends in game it will just be a bunch of kids with imperfect IV Arceus and Celebi and such, with no strategy or team cohesion. As...
  2. Official Smogon University Simulator Statistics — December 2013

    Yep, it was VGC. That makes sense, thanks.
  3. Official Smogon University Simulator Statistics — December 2013

    Where are you seeing the statistics for checks and counters? They all look blank to me.
  4. Blastoise

    Does anyone think the Anti Lead OU set from last generation can work in this environment? Maybe some EV's would need to be changed around based on which popular new leads you want to 2HKO. Also, maybe it's worth considering Dragon Tail over Ice Beam (good vs. Eruufun and sends off people who...
  5. Pokémon Black and White - Ingame Discussion

    Does anyone in this thread want to discuss in-game random Wifi battles? Since this thread is about in-game playthroughs it seemed like the best candidate for this topic. The metagame for that is considerably different than a lot of the stuff being discussed in threads due to the nature of...
  6. Articuno

    I used Mind Reader/Sheer Cold Articuno as my lead for about 20 matches today on random in-game battles. Since random match format only uses 3 guys, Articuno is a lot more useful due to a) nobody bothers setting up Stealth Rocks and b) defensive guys seem beter (IMO) since opposing teams have...
  7. Ask a Simple Question, Get a Simple Answer - Read FAQ in First Post Before Asking

    Can someone please explain to me how in game battling works on wifi? For playing random people, is it always 3 v 3 (single, double, or triple battle)? Can you only play people on your friend code list 6 v 6? Are there any clauses, items, moves, or Pokemon that can't be used in random play...
  8. Ask a Simple Question, Get a Simple Answer - Read FAQ in First Post Before Asking

    I don't know a single thing about Black/White, so tell me if my interpretation of the format is correct: -for in game random wifi battles, you can't use Pokemon that you transferred over from an old game if they have a move that they can no longer learn (i.e., a Focus Punch Gengar can be sent...
  9. Uber Team (Featuring Three Non-Legends)

    Thanks for the insightful input of "add a Giratina" and pointing out the things Smeargle is weak to that I already touched upon. Also, why the hell would T-Tar be Ice Beaming Latias when Crunch is STAB and equally super effective?
  10. Uber Team (Featuring Three Non-Legends)

    I like this team a lot and it has gone through extensive tweaking, but it has some pretty gaping weaknesses. Still, it's very competitive for something without the usual Giratina, Kyogre, etc. Latios @ Soul Dew Timid, 6 HP/252 Speed/252 Sp. Attack Draco Meteor Thunder Grass Knot Memento I...
  11. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer.

    Is it worth using moves like Screech and Metal Sound to force switches on a team that has Stealth Rock, but not Spikes? If it makes a difference, a Sandstorm will be going to. I ask because I have a nice Roost/U-Turn/Screech/Earthquake Flygon just ready to join a Sandstream team, but I don't...
  12. Looking for input to finish a unified pet team

    Wow, I completely overlooked Torkoal as a Spinner and Articuno switches into some of Torkoal's weaknesses quite nicely. The only thing I'm wary of is his own weakness to Stealth Rock - is it too counterintuitive to switch him in for spinning when he gets hurt a lot by it himself?
  13. Looking for input to finish a unified pet team

    You know, your comment that the team is more special based makes Metal Sound a lot more attractive me than it already was. One of the last two slots will now definetely be going to Lucario, who can Metal Sound and even Roar if I find room. Furthermore, Lucario fills a much needed role of a solid...
  14. Looking for input to finish a unified pet team

    People think Frosslass is good? It isn't really, but it is a unique Spiker. Anyway, I'm agreeing that Weavile poses a big problem to Frosslass, but I have no plans to take him out. Even under ideal conditions I can only really hop Frosslass in and out when I think Weavile might switch in...
  15. Looking for input to finish a unified pet team

    This "new" account that was registered before the one you are posting from? Not that its any of your concern what my posting habits are. As far as the threat of Weavile coming in with Pursuit, its something I'm very conscious of. At least Azelf can throw a Flamethrower, but Frosslass is too...
