I've been reading a lot of threads without saying much (or anything usually), but I have to say that this thread is hilariously full of arguments that all come down to preference. "Intimidate vs. Shed Skin vs. Moxie," "HJK vs. Drain Punch," and "BU vs. DD" is all about what you want him to do...

Just use 2 smeargles. -_-

The fact that this and a few other factors started a hailstorm fad in Shoddy makes me very sad. On the plus side, when I was running BL/UU, I managed to KO an Abomasnow starter with my Torkoal/Forretress-wannabe starter. That was fun. But yes, this only makes games boring. Someone just start...

Hmm. In 3rd gen, I only saw 2 shinies. The first one was a golbat that I failed to catch (don't ask how or why, I just couldn't), and second one was a shiny male snorunt that I traded to eventually get a shiny Lugia. As for 4th gen, I only managed to get one of my own, which was a tangela...

This is a very fascinating approach to today's competitive battling format. I should be interested to know where this goes and how it takes into account things such as accuracy, averaging the gain between 2 moves, the limit on movepools on certain pokemon, and pokemon immunities. This sort of...

Hey there, Smogonites. This would be my first warstory. I decided to choose this one, because it was a close match. Standard rules apply. Clauses: Sleep, Freeze, Evasion, Species, Self-KO. I left in nearly all of the chat text and the nicknames, since I verified who was who with an HP counter...

Bibarel was still taunted, I believe.

It's very conditional, especially since substitute is practically interchangeable with protect/detect. You might be able to smack around a few guys once in a while, but considering that you're suddenly limited to 3 moves after feint, it's hard to say that it's worth it. Consider this: you...

The loss of the elemental punches really did hurt Zam a lot. Whereas Gengar's better STAB moves and the +10 accuracy on hypnosis, it's hard not to choose Gengar. Then with the addition of Gengar going "Focus Sash, Counter, Explosion," it just makes him fun to use. :p Zam did get a few things...

Figured this one out when Blissey's Ice Beam did jack-squat damage.

Heh. The log was fun to read, especially with the chat kept in there with side-commentary done by SePh. It seemed like a very friendly game as the two of you made comments about your own moves and such. The story to log ratio probably isn't the recommended amount, but frankly, the chat during...

Hmm. Abomasnow could have Blizzard'ed through the Protect. Also, this was very long and pointless, to be very frank with you. Shadow Ball on Glaceon trying to hit Blissey, a Wish vs. Softboiled stall war, and a lot of other things. I'm normally not one to be harsh, but this was a rather...

One of the better warstories I've read in a while. Fun read, good predictions in the first half, and close call with the x2 DD Gyarados. I tend to enjoy reading your stories. :p

@Aero: Heh. Well, from this (above), you can tell that you're on the right track. :p

Something else to consider is finding out which guys you like that learn Fire Blast or Fire Punch (Emerald Move Tutor). It probably depends on what else is on your team, to be honest. Also, if you have any other questions like this, I suggest using the "Ask a simple question" thread.
