reporting from maryland felt weak as shit compared to california quakes

Err woops, I meant selfdestruct. But also, Snorlax has higher base attack...does 50 base power make enough difference to give Snorlax the edge or is Lickilicky just plain better?

That's not how terrorists do it. This looks fun, I think i'll try it on CaP... For power...what would be the strongest boom possible? Belly Drum Snorlax Explosion?

I'd definitely go with U-Turn over Brick Break on Aipom. U-Turn allows you to scout when you swap in your next poke, and you can decide whether or not to swap in a sweeper or what. This is especially useful if they swap in something with a weather move, as you can swap in the best pokemon to...

I see a problem, unfortunately. Agili/RainDance Chinchou and Mantyke destroy your team if Voltorb is gone, assuming the lack of munchlax. If you do get rid of Munchlax, you'll have to play Voltorb very conservatively, and predict whether or not they will switch in a ghost for the BOOM...

back @ franky Mainly to wear down pokes over time, so Elekid can sweep more easily, but also to lure Gunk so Dile can sweep more easily. Dig seems a little meh though, because it's...dig. I would calc HP Ground and see if that works first if you do switch to Dig.

Gratz on bringing back the dual water offense. Tbh i think it's really underrated...It works quite well. Tbh i don't really see any issues with the team, although i suggest Explosion>HP Fighting on Gastly if you really aren't using it that much. Explosion still nails Munchlax, and Houndour...

I agree with Diglett>Trapinch, as if they don't have a croagunk, which is entirely possible, then Diglett would be a better sweeper imo. I can't say too much as i haven't tried Trapinch, but I know diglett gets the job done. Gotta say what makes this team really cool is the lead. When i faced...

Going back to the Magnemite getting levitate discussion: It would be amazing. You could trick people. Pretend its not Levitate. Of course, most people would be looking out for JUST THIS. But, hey, it would be fun. Sort of like Heatproof Bronzong. You pretend it IS levitate. Haha, trapped...

@ above above post about kangaskhan (lol post as i was posting) It needs to be like Mantine and mantyke to some degree. Because it doesn't make sense that suddenly the Kangaskhan when it evolves has a baby either... Unless the baby joined it, like remoraid to Mantyke. Idk how they would do that...

I've just been using a simple choice scarf set with maxed out speed/spec attack and the rest into defense/hp. I run Shadow Ball/Thunderbolt/HP Ice/Sludge Bomb. I am considering getting rid of HP Ice, as it was mainly for Dratini, and Sludge Bomb nearly KO's, too, so its only use is...

That is when you start using choice sets/attacking on the switch. Kill the predicted croagunk. Predict, and destroy (Croagunk).

I believe in order to prove this isn't gimmicky, you would have to give attack calcs. Cause base 75 with only 4 ev's and neutral is not very strong at all. Even at plus 6 i bet it doesn't OHKO bulky pokemon, and especially not resisters. I also bet that Crawdaunt would see this as HUUUUGE set-up...

Uhhh. No. Scarf Voltorb wud be soooo broken. running a ghost would be mandatory (overcentralizing much?) or a soundproof. and with such good pursuiters fitting well in the metagame (houndour, stunky, munchlax, etc.) It would be easy to kill the ghost and proceed to sweep. No. Just no.

Leafeon cant wall it. Ice Beam. It has decent enough special attack (85) and has a diverse enough move pool to go mixed well. I didnt even know NU was still alive. i figured it died with the server. this is great!
