today's pokemon (after a long hiatus...) is crobat in gen 6! i haven't played gen 6 in a long time, but i remember that when the new defog rules came out that crobat was quite hyped from the get-go. it was fast, had plenty of great support moves, and wasn't taunt bait, yet it just never quite...

you might want to mention tailow can get steel wing as well to help with rock types

i was messing around on a black rom; i had previously enabled a shiny code, but then turned it off. later, i was going to the person that you get the magikarp from and SRing for a nature. after a couple of SRs, it was a shiny magikarp, not 5 minutes after i had turned off the shiny code. bad...

i built this team back in the PO days of DW OU and i remember it being my most successful team that was actually fun to play (unlike some of my more stally variants that i spammed at the time). i don't remember the EVs that i used but it was rash LO deo-s, CB terrak, scarf...

on the subject of normalium kartana, i had a quick question: is there a reason that Giga Impact is preferred over Last Resort as the normal move of choice? they both have the same BP for the Z crystal, and Last Resort seems more situationally useful than a Hyper Beam clone in some circumstances.

...means that it has to be at least D tier with its typing, so i would propose a raise. tl;dr Dunsparce and Togepi are fine in D Elekid (C) to D* Shellder (C) to C with the other waters Onix (No Trade) is fine in D but something should happen/be explained with regards to it and Geodude Gastly...

i more meant for gen 1 as a counter to electrode, as it lets you get a strongish hit off on trode before spore.

is Quick Attack snorlax or smth viable?

if you're going this route imo you should run careful with 31 speed IVs so you can occasionally Iron Head stuff that's paralyzed and get the jump on them

how are you getting more than 1 sketched move with Smeargle at level 10? lv 10 is definitely the easiest though; messed around with arcanine back when i did it but aero is definitely king.

can someone explain to me how the fuck Present and its damage calcs worked in gen 2? i see people running it on blissey and i never know how much damage it's supposed to be doing or not doing. i know it's type dependent but is there any way to calculate it/

some good discussion! i hadn't thought of adding a steel typing but that would be p great for it, even among the other psy-steels. today's mon is... cradily in gen 5! cradily is an interesting case to me; it has some decent defensive utility and can function as a nice mon on sand teams for...

good stuff! i was thinking of levitate as well or at least something not to make it susceptible to ground moves like a typing change or smth. the new mon to discuss is... mesprit in gen 4. always had a soft spot for this mon back when i played. mesprit is surprisingly versatile, with a...

some nice options; i'm partial to the ones provided by Chippy2001 as it seems to accommodate typhlosion while not making it steal zard's niche from under it. today's pokemon is... gen 3 tentacruel. going through some of the lower tiers, tentacruel stuck out to me. it can spin spikes away and...

i think yeah giving it belly drum + an additional good STAB would be what could give it a niche, sucks that it would kinda just outclass zard at that point didnt mean to put kingdra in there but i probably will later, spikes with rest and bell support could go a long ways on stall teams.

some cool ideas so far! didn't know omasatar already had a gen 1 niche, never seen it myself. for gen 2, our first mon is... typhlosion! fire types tend to struggle in general, and gen 2 is no exception, with only bellyzard making common OU appearances. typhlosion has always seemed like a...

(approved by Jellicent ) hi there, in this thread we'll be looking at mons through the gens that are frequently below par, very uncommon picks (below standard niche stuff for the most part), but have interesting enough options that they might be usable or even metagame threats if they had a...
