But, banning individual aspects of a Pokemon seems off. We've already done items. What's to stop future bannings of different attacks, or other qualities? Like, "Pokemon X is overpowered, but only with Bullet Punch," or "Pokemon Y is overpowered, but only with a Careful nature."

I don't disagree with any of this, I'm just acknowledging previous comments made about banning all auto-weather abilities. The point is that banning any specific aspect of a Pokemon, rather than the mon itself, is a bad idea. It could set a dangerous precedent. As ridiculous as it sounds...

The whole idea of banning specific abilities scares the shit out of me. Granted, Inconsistent needed to be dealt with, but it could have been dealt with by banning pokes with the ability rather than the ability itself. I don't agree with setting that kind of precedent. But, that's already done...

I agree, Spikes has a lot of advantages over T-Spikes, but it is impossible as far as I know to get Spikes and Sleep Powder at the same time for Roserade

thank you. any thoughts or suggestions on Dusknoir's offensive moves? I'm leaning toward EQ & Fire Punch, but there are merits to T-Punch and Ice Punch as well

good call

Thank you both Chris and Jibaku. Actually Chris, I had read your RMT today, and that was the reason I posted this one. Not only did it get my gears turning about my own team, but I also figured that if people are already rating one Empoleon team they are likely to see mine as well =D small...

That's a good point, Heat Rotom would fit very well. I know it's available, actually I have one and a Wash forme already. I was just under the impression that the appliances couldn't be used on Wi-Fi because of the fact that some folks still use Diamond or Pearl which doesn't recognize the...

Come to think of it, the Acid Rain glitch is beneficial to Empoleon most of the time. Whether it's ethical to take advantage of that or not is an entirely different question.

Empoleon RMT (Wi-Fi) This is based of a team that worked very well for me on Shoddy, and I decided to re-create it to use in battles with “real” Pokemon on Wi-Fi. After actually raising the team, I've found it works even better in this new battling environment. The basic goal of the team as...

thanks! I'll try these changes out asap and see how it goes

Empoleon RMT: I've had a lot of success with this team, but I'd love to hear what you think. Empoleon has fascinated me since day one of DPP. What attracted me to it (besides the utter BAMFness it radiates) was its ability to easily switch into many different attacks while having little...

i'm really not seeing where i responded with any animosity. that's a huge exaggeration. and I suppose my one in each game comment was vague, and im sure any further explaination would sound completely retarded on my part unless you really want to think outside the box, and this thread is...

nothing's unfair. groudon & arceus aren't invincible either. i've always figured there's only one of each in the game for a reason. it's just a personal policy. end of discussion, this is beginning to get retarded. i can almost kind of see where people see smogon users as elitist. i'm not fully...

i am well aware of the tier system, and of course i know none of these pokemon are ubers. please don't imply that i don't know what im doing. and i'm certainly not saying they're unfair or that they shouldn't be used. i just personally don't use them because i don't like them and i dont see a...

thanks for the tips, this works a lot better. however, i'm not too thrilled with the idea of replacing half the team, much less with legends. I just personally have an issue with using them and prefer to avoid it altogether. I will definitely move Swampert to lead though, because that has worked...

This is my first RMT on Smogon, but I am in no way new to the game. Still, I really need some help. I've been testing and adjusting this group for weeks, and there are still some serious issues to be fixed. These include particularly fire attackers(especially Heatran), bulky waters (especially...
