Swalot w/ black sludge, I was just testing him out on my BL team against other BL players, he was capable of surviving a gardevoir's psychic and still managed to take down the majority of my opponents team. It even faired against an OU team. Go figure.

I've decided I'll give OU a shot again, but it's solely because I believe that as most of the members of the forum here understand the game on a further level than me, their advice needs to be noted and used, so I'm going to try it out, but if I end up still not enjoying OU, I'm going to...

For starters, like the person above me said, it'd be too time consuming. I already spend the only free time I have researching and playtesting as much as possible to further my understanding how the game works. I have a BL team that's efficient enough that I've faced quite a few OU teams and...

I did play OU for a while, but what I found is that it isn't so much my lack of creativity, as it is my opponents. I strive to put creativity into every team I build but the vast majority of players I've encountered in the OU tier(or what is considered OU) are just out to win, which in turn pits...

I think therein lies my problem. I don't like OU battling, it seems too, I guess you'd say repetitive(don't flame me), and by that I don't mean anything offensive to anyone who plays OU, I know good and well there are plenty of strategies that are just waiting to be discovered in OU, it's just...

no no, I understand how to use good EV spreads and how to plan ahead, I've got that built into my brain, but I'm still not on the level of the members here. I want to know what exactly makes you progress even more so in pokemon understanding.

I could definitely see that. I had always played the games the way I imagine most average players do when starting out, get the strongest pokemon and beat the elite four then wait for the next game to come out, and in the meantime build a team and face all your friends via link cable, but ever...

I hardly post on here, but I do lurk quite a bit, and I was wondering where does this almost omniscient knowledge of pokemon come from? I've played pokemon since the days of yellow, but it still seems to me that there's 1 level of knowledge that people have of pokemon and then there's the smogon...

I fully ev trained a shuckle in defense and hp and raised it to level 100, and it failed horrible, two hits it was out.

ahh, that'd explain things then. I'm a somewhat frequent poster on marriland and they have a definite tier list, but I get it now. Smogon is more of the regulator as far as the wifi community goes.

there isn't one set? I'm confused, do you mean there isn't one set on this forum?

I was only wondering, the majority of the kids I've seen posting in the battle m topics are seemingly all OU, so how many of you actually like battling BL/UU/NU? It's more fun to me, but maybe that's just me.
