Is forever dead

After experimentation, I find that a big part of an Inconsistent user's success depends on getting enough of the right boosts early on the be able to boost to massive stats. You need a proper set up and situation to allow you to get the ball rolling. (I.E. stack boosts. For this, I use Wobb and...

Meh. I run a more unorthodox strategy, I guess, so I usually don't protect first unless I am really desperate. And besides, Jaroda has better things to do and run than try to Gastro Acid one pokemon. I suppose you can make a Gastro Acid argument, but overall IMO it seems rather lacking.

Substitute? You offend me. =( Care to provide your opinion, please? I'm curious.

As I stated before, only on the user.

I am fairly certain that it only affects itself, since a long time ago asked around about Jaroda as a Manaphy or setup counter to find that it doesn't work. And I faced Jaroda before as well. The ability only affects the user. (+6 leaf Storm can't touch Octillery lol) I also don't understand...

While evasion boosts are not everything, they can drastically change the outcome of a battle. Even against the strongest pokemon or a +6+6 on your opponent's pokemon, it doesn't mean anything if they cannot hit you. Evasion also raises it by 2 stages each time, so barring a drop and factoring in...

Before the Inconsistent gets too many boosts, Breloom and Morabareru can comfortably counter most Inconsistent sets. But if the Inconsistent user (who plays intelligently) manages to get up enough evasion boosts (which are broken), barely anything outside of Haze/Perish Song/ anything like that...

Yeah, I just realized that too (I need to stop listening to rumors) Gastrodon doesn't work against Energy Ball Clear Smog Gengar seems to be a decent counter, so long as you switch in early (though I may be wrong). At the least, Scizor is there to take care of it. So by my count, you have 2...

I'd admit that there are ways to get past Inconsistent, but Shandera makes no sense (surf). and 2 moves + 2 pokemon with the moves mainly for Inconsistent is a bit much, I'd say. Haze is a temporary solution, but it is viable for pp stall (albeit the best option is Dragonite against energy...

I don't believe it is only the evasion, as with enough (special) defense pulls off Protect/Sub Octillery can tank fairly well. (Of course, with Ingrain passed on for substitute) I've also found substitute handy for critical hits and the like. By simply spamming protect/sub, it is to rack up...

I wanted to test this out, and I have to say, it's entertaining to see noobs whine and bitch while you sweep them. (although a good player is a fun challenge) There are (a few) ways I've seen people beat this, though I have only faced it once. (but tested it a couple) Ingrain Smeargle (I.E...

Veronica Mars is Jabba

I think you could've put a little more effort into your commentary. Also, I think the prediction was somewhat lackluster. The only thing I 'liked' was the Starmie using Hydro Pump as you switched, but I think Blaziken would've fainted to Thunderbolt as well, rendering that not as fascinating...

It's more like Erufuun is Jumpluff v10, due to the fact that it was released later and gained Mischievious Heart. Since it is outclassed completely by Erefuun (asides from sleep), it seems fair enough to guess that Jumpluff would be placed in a lower tier. However, I don't know how much UU or...

Unfortunately, I don't collect anything cool or "genius", like those nerds who collect certificates from colleges and that nonsense. I "collect" yugioh cards, but I really play more competitively. Not that I'm any good at it, but at least I make efforts to keep up with the metagame, strategies...

It's funny, you know--I just recently spent a several day long Blue playing spree to get in 'touch' with that part of my childhood. I had to keep the game plugged in, and I played for nearly a week straight since the internal battery died. I loved how challenging yet somehow impossibly possible...

You claim that you want to allow pokemon to live to their fullest potential. The top 50 pokemon in OU have a greater potential than everything else. The reason a pokemon is in NU is because it has limited potential when compared to other pokemon. Where a pokemon is placed is a reflection of...

I think that while it is possible to stop Doryzuu from sweeping, it should be a lot harder to stop him from Rapid spinning. I did some calcs (not factoring Sand Throw), and life orbed +2 Earthquake with SR nearly KO's the most defensively possible new ghosts, barring Desukan (And I can't imagine...

Even with HP rock, you struggle to beat a Dragonite. Hp Rock can handle both Heatran and Chandera. Moth could take a Heatran hit and 2HKO with neutral HP Rock, and Chandera is weak to rock itself. There were lists of counters in this thread, but the general gist that everyone seems to agree on...
