Well, what exactly do you not understand? Was it Minwu's explanation or was it how "something silly as genderfucked" can be found offensive? I've actually never heard of the term "genderfucked" until Minwu brought it up, but I can see how it can be very offensive. To me, the term implies that...

Well, from stuff I've learned in physiology and a quick Google Search.... I'd say you're fine. You can feel your pulse at various points in your body, and the abdomen is one of them (due to what's called the descending aorta, a very large artery that travels down the abdomen from the heart)...

I think Mega Scizor is quite cool looking! I don't haven any personal experience with it (yet), but I've seen it work in Rain teams, and it's priority is pretty useful. I guess you just have to find a reason as to why you're using it over it's normal form or other Steel megas like Mega Metagross...

Right, so it's been 9 days and I'm not sure if anything has changed between you and you're friend, but I've been in a similar situation when I was in high school. So, I had this very attractive straight friend that I played on the tennis team with, and he was the type of guy that had flirtatious...

I might be biased as I graduated from UT Austin (though not in mathematics), but it's engineering, physics, and mathematics departments are highly ranked, and everyone that I knew that was a math or engineering major at UT loved their major and what they did. If you want to know more about UT's...

I just recently graduated with my B.Sc in Neurobiology, and I'm taking a couple of years off to mature a bit and get some more work experience under my belt. I really didn't know what I wanted to do when I got into undergrad (I just knew that I liked science). Though from taking science classes...

You absolutely do NOT have to use a combination of those things. I mean, Kang and best friends of Kang are just well known for being consistent options that can take on a diverse set of team archetypes (just take a look at the teams that top cut at Worlds' 2015 with some combination of Kang and...

Actually, that's not true. Directly quoted from the rules: "If both players’ final Pokémon faint due to a weather condition, such as Hail or Sandstorm, the player whose Pokémon faints last wins the game. This includes the effects of Perish Song." EDIT: Realized lucariojr got to this as I...

I agree with everything Terraquaza said, and since you're "not exactly fluent in the metagame," testing out that team may give you a good idea of how a part Trick Room team functions, and may give you something to emulate when you experiment with teambuilding yourself. I really hate full Trick...

If you're running Quiet nature, a spread of 252 HP / 156 SpDef is the EV benchmark you need to hit to be able to survive Modest Choice Specs Hydreigon Dark Pulse. I think that's an attack that most Aegislash should try to survive in my opinion (unless your team is very hostile towards Hydreigon...

I'd go with Milotic since it does punish players that have the balls to bring an Intimidator against your physical heavy team. Plus, since you're running Tailwind, that forces players to try to cut your speed somehow with moves like Icy Wind or Thunder Wave. Another way of punishing those...

I'm not sure where to find the Showdown list, but this article from Nuggetbridge gives a nice, concise overview of 50 VGC threats to prepare for when teambuilding.

Raichu is also an excellent partner for Azumarill. It provides fast Fake Out pressure for Azumarill to setup a Belly Drum, protects Azumarill from electric type attacks, and can punish players who want to Protect when Azumarill is at +6 with an Encore. Even if the opponent sees the Encore coming...

I actually really like this team, and your RMT was a very enjoyable read! I have a couple of things I'd like to point out... 1. I'd keep Energy Ball on M-Sceptile over Giga Drain. Sceptile is frail as it is even with HP investment, and Energy Ball hits Rotom-W and other bulky Water types much...

Hey y'all! I'm actually mostly active on nuggetbridge, but I decided to come to Smogon just to see what it was about. I've heard of Smogon before, and kind of just lurked on the strategy pages of some Pokémon I was interested in using/countering when I began to play competitively back in 5th...

Hello Smogon! My name is Joshua (friends call me Josh) and I'm 21, but y'all can just refer to me as Pharmasynth on these forums! I'm mostly active on Nuggetbridge, but I decided to check out Smogon to see what it was all about! I started playing Pokémon back in the original Ruby and Sapphire...
