Okay, so, for the record, switching tenses in the middle of a sentence is going to cause confusion. You're going from past to present to future all in the same sentence, which makes it difficult to tell what you actually mean or be sure that you didn't just misspell something. That out of the...

I find that slightly difficult to believe. "Hey man, I know you're kicking my head right now, but I don't blame you. It's not your fault." Just doesn't sound like something somebody'd say, y'know? I mean, in LIFE, someone's gonna get raped, murdered, mugged, kidnapped, and otherwise violated...

And with all that posturing aside, are you really gonna sit back and watch some kid get the shit beaten out of him? It's not 'Bullying, the cultural rite of passage,' it's 'Bullying, the sadistic asshole who likes making other people suffer.' It's not some glorious affair that we'll remember...

I'm not convinced that bullying as a whole is present because of some sort of systematic issue, rather than because of individual assholes. So, to that extent, I suspect that we'd be better served by going after those individual assholes than by holding seminars, giving children positive...

Very nice. I play a bunch of stuff online, but I'm too poor to put together a decent deck in real life. Still, gratz on your tops!

Fun! Which formats did you top in (and with which decks)?

Fire/Water Dark/Poison Poison/Electric

Lilligant's gonna kill itself doing that, even if it predicts the switch correctly and goes for QD over any of its other moves. Sludge Bomb is doing ~59% minimum to +1 Lilligant- add on Stealth Rock and two rounds of Life Orb recoil, and your lilligant has, at best, under 10% HP. If Spikes are...

Scarf Ape, Jynx, Sawsbuck and Haunter can all revenge lilligant at +1 (and Scarf Pyroar, which I'm gonna be spamming the ladder with once NU is up), while Sap Sipper Miltank walls it all day and Lickilicky phazes away its boosts. It also has to chose between being walled by grass types or flying...

The thing is, unlike Musharna, Aromatisse has no recovery outside of Wish, and unlike Alomomola it lacks Regenerator to compensate for the weakness. Even if Sawk can't 2HKO it on the switch, he can hit it with knock off and then switch to something that can either force it out or set up on it...

Not necessarily. Even with the new type chart, Sawk can still get perfect 3 move coverage with either CC/EdgeQuake or CC/Earthquake/Ice Punch, handily leaving a moveslot for Knock Off or, on non-choiced sets, Taunt. It does have a few more choices as far as super effective coverage goes, but it...

Special Samurott pretty much always uses a life orb. It has the bulk to pull it off. If Frogadier doesn't want to be literally KOd by resisted hits, it's going to need to run either eviolite or focus sash. I mean, just for illustrative purposes, Samurott's Hydro Pump can OHKO Frogadier after one...

252+ SpA Life Orb Samurott Ice Beam vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Eviolite Tangela: 335-395 (100.2 - 118.2%) Even without STAB, last gen's most dominant water type cleanly outdamages Frogadier's ice type coverage, while its STAB water type attacks and bulk both outstrip Frogadier's by far. If Frogadier...
