♪ Singin' in the Rain ♫ | | | | | Introduction Triage on non-Comfey things is broken. Teambuilding Process I'm always looking for new ways to bust Triage, as +3 priority on most anything is just ridiculous. In this case, I wanted to abuse the combo of Sturdy + priority Rest to keep my...

On mobile, hitting the new "First Turn" button (inconveniently placed exactly where the "Skip Turn" button used to be) and then hitting the "Skip to End" button to return to the battle makes it appear that your opponent has disconnected, but in fact you are just sitting there with no way to...

Honchkrow, et al. Introduction Honchkrow pretty much just wins. Unfortunately, teams need to contain six Pokemon, so he has to let some other guys tag along. Teambuilding Process Honchkrow is stupid powerful, but he does have his flaws, so (a little) team support is necessary. Honchkrow's...

Aromatherapy, Leaf Storm, Synthesis, V-create. I don't see how the other moves could matter because as long as they don't conflict with each other, the Sketch move should be its own thing.

Sketchmons isn't working properly. See the screen below. It isn't just V-create that gets blocked. Everything I've tried so far isn't allowed. Overheat, Hypnosis, Splash, you name it. To make things more bizarre, all of the other mons have sketch moves as well. It only flags Serperior's as...

Mm. Wouldn't Aerilate be better?

Except that using Fling while holding King's Rock gives you a 100% flinch chance. It's like Fake Out except you can use it once whenever you feel like it. Also, what is your version of the metagame called? I can't find it on your server. --- What about double Protect? I think that should...

That complex ban seems pretty good. Even with that, I still think a clause should be added that groups -ates and other functionally identical moves together. Five or six weaker -ates doesn't seem a whole lot better to me than one broken one.

Okay, I find Shedinja quite useful as a counter, but that might be because I use a weird 6-Shedinja team that carries answers to typical counters like Stealth Rock, Infestation and Ghost-types, so my idea of its usefulness on a typical team is probably a little off. As in a lot off. Sorry about...

Would Flinging King's Rock still cause a flinch? Also, it seems to me that a 10% increase to all accuracy just creates a reversed version of the 10% secondary effects. Getting frozen by Ice Beam sucks. Missing with a 99% accurate High Jump Kick sucks more than getting frozen by Ice Beam...

Personally, I don't find -ates an issue at all. Sturdinja deals with them easily. It's not that hard to find one slot for Sturdinja on a team because it efficiently and offensively counters anything that isn't Ghost-type, Moldy, or running a status move, and Lum Berry snags the KO on that last...

Every Shedinja that I've ever battled runs Shadow Sneak, and Spiky Shield KOs off that. Worst comes to worst, PP stall it. Imposter Blissey is a much bigger issue. The Sturdy Ice Shard Shedinja alone can deal with that, so if it dies, you basically lose to PP stall.

Army of the Damned Introduction Yeah, that's a hell of a lot of Shedinja. You may know Shedinja as that cool-but-useless gimmick people really like to try to make work, but is ultimately Toxic/setup bait. No longer. Thanks to the rules more like guidelines of Balanced Hackmons, Shedinja...

U-turn on Whimsicott is a great idea. I was originally trying to make absolutely sure it could check Feraligatr, but I think more often a slow pivot will be more useful than a slow Energy Ball. Blastoise's set so far is working really well for me, and Aura Sphere can get rid of Lucario...

Right. New team. Cloyster @ Lum Berry Ability: Skill Link EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe Naughty Nature - Shell Smash - Icicle Spear - Hydro Pump - Explosion Cloyster is pretty much the same. However, Explosion does seem to work better than Ice Shard and Hydro Pump better than Razor Shell or...

1) Not the direction I'm taking my team. The idea is to build around Cloyster, that's using Cloyster as a suicide bomber. Kinda hard to build around something that is going to kill itself all the time. Bulky water types are annoying, yes, but Heliolisk completely annihilates them. 2) Speed...

It's funny that you mention Mega Blastoise. I tried that exact set out and liked him for a while, but I went to Tentacruel so that I would have tech against Fairy- and Grass-types, and Toxic Spikes is amazing against those blasted stall teams. I can give Blastoise another shot. Mega Aerodactyl...

No worries about (notably nonexistent) rudeness; criticism is what I came here for! Unfortunately, a lot of your last comments were rendered irrelevant (at least in the short term) because I cut Forretress for Tentacruel after testing for a while. This is still a work in progress, but here's...

Dread Plate: Thanks for clearing that up! I don't have all the numbers memorized on stuff so I wasn't really privy to the exact matchups like how +1 Mega Sharpedo only ties with Scarf Mienshao. This was very enlightening and pushes me towards Mega Aerodactyl. However, this causes another...

Wow. Thank you for this expansive commentary. I'm going to respond to the major points, but I did read the whole responses and will take them into account. 1) Rock Blast over Hydro Pump: I use Rock Blast over Hydro Pump for 3 reasons (these in no particular order): a) Rock Blast has better...
