My bad, I need to clarify that. Hydreigon was the pokemon I needed to take down. Cofagrigous wasn't a problem because Shadow Ball does little and 3 SD is enough for any Excadrill (Not to mention Toxic and Protect were free turns for me to set up). But yeah, Hydreigon surviving +6 rock slide...

This here. It's frustrating to witness how bulky this thing is in-game. On my 3rd or 4th playthrough, I used Excadrill to set up on Cofagrigous (3 Swords Dances + Sandstorm for speed). I regrettably forgot to teach it Brick Break or Xscissor, so I had to rely on rock slide. The hit landed, but...

I can't remember any true (oldschool) epic-win moments, but I personally enjoyed my battle tower moments in Platinum. Mainly a Choice Band Infernape OHKO'ing Slaking, Umbreon, and most notably Tycoon's Regigigas, with Close Combat. I felt accomplished.

12 pages late, but Entry hazards are certainly not broken IMO, though the discussion about them reminds me of the drama about Drizzle. Drizzle requires only a switch-in while stealth rock requires a whole turn, but a wide variety of pokemon can use it. They are both too easy to set up and...

not much to talk about really, it was a simple joke. Btw rain teams are popular. no reason to be a d-bag. And I don't like the idea of dual-type moves either. Dual-typing on pokemon works well enough on its own.

That sounds like an extreme mess if past generation moves will end up being dual-type moves. I had ideas in my head on how they could work. But as I keep thinking about it, I get more lost on the subject; and my ideas fall apart. But on that note, I would love to see infernape use fire punch...

Bloody Platinum and Blaze Black were very enjoyable IMO. Bloody Platinum features a "legendaries" elite four and Blaze Black has some crazy movesets/strategies for the gym battles. Sacred Gold would've been great, but the sprite glitches frustrated me enough. I've yet to try Fire Red Omega...

Awesome, smogon finally gave in to how awesome the pokemon hacks are. My game fucked up on me at around the 2nd gym (the sprite glitch issue + some issue where the game wouldn't load up for me upon booting), so I couldn't save and reset successfully. I am considering on starting a new game in...

I'm just hoping I'm not the only one who tried using thunderbolt on Flygon during the elite 4 fight.

Lost against Enguarde, gg

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to leave you hanging. I kept myself up late last night working on a contest submission (outside Smogon), so I had trouble getting up. If you want, we can shoot for 8pm EST like you proposed earlier. I just have to take care of things ahead of time but I can make it work...

Well, 8pm is more of a stretch than 8am is. I'll be busy on friday during the night. The same day, I have a class at 9:05 am, so I will be awake regardless. I can get on at 8am if that works better for you. Or else we can shoot for 6 or 7pm EST.

I can make that work. March 1st 8am my time would be 48 hours from now, just to clarify. Also, my account name on Showdown is 'Korlash' rather than my username. So if that still works for you, I'm looking forward to the battle.

I'm GMT -5 (Eastern Time). I'm usually available during the nights each week (say about 7pm eastern until I go to bed), so let me know what day after tuesday you prefer. If nights, my time, don't work then I could get the match in during my school day in all desperation.

Well there you have it! Drizzle is NOT broken.

If it helps ... I think his point was that strategies like hazards and dual screens have their balance in the metagame. They provided great support for the team while they took effort to set up and maintain. Auto-weather, on the other hand, makes a massive influence at the small price of...

What about all of rain's perks compounding with the fact that the weather lasts the entire match and it only requires switching in / leading? It doesn't take up an item slot, it doesn't take up a move slot, it only takes a turn for an ideal switch-in (although it takes up an ability which isn't...

What do others think of Absol in-game? It'll have Swords Dance + Night Slash by lv 41 (which the max lvl upon catching it is 41), can get Psycho Cut + Sucker Punch by 52, X-scissor by TM, Superpower with 10 shards, and can learn quick attack with a heart scale. Lastly, if you find yourself...
