could white herb with sticky web support work? swap it in, copy the -1 speed, white herb it away, rather gimmicky since it only revenges grounded pokemon, you need sticky web to successful go up and stay up all game, and you cant revenge kill twice, but would make it easier to sweep after...

not only that, but acrobatics is weaker because flying gem isnt on cart, meaning you need to use a berry to get the double damage

I've always liked trick room; i dont have the most experience battling competitively, but i've gotten back into it a bit for gen6 stuff like mega-mawile seem like they could make trick room more viable; it has great defense and incredible power, its viable enough outside of trick room, and...

If it's the first time mega gengar is sent out, it wont be Mega on the first turn until after you switch

Wring out looks like an interesting option, probably mentioned at some point though it hits full health targets for 120, meaning if you swap in for an easy kill with leaf storm and they swap say salamance in to tank the shot, you have a 76% chance of killing it with wring out in fact, due to...

i suppose clamp would let you possibly set up more than 1 shell break if they left something in on the first turn that cant kill you, and at +4 or +6 you dont really need a second attack type other than ice shard and icicle spear but on the other hand, if they left something that cant kill you...

but the thing is 112.5 BP before stab is by no means bad either, so it could be worth trading the slight damage decrease on average for the chance to get much higher damage i still think technician/skill link is a matter of preference

thats only due to the glitch with gravity, where using them in the same turn means the opponent stays in the air forever and you dont

in that same post, he said he uses technician because skill link is not released yet

i only really see electra ball being strong when used alongside paralysis support, and to me, it seems electrode would be better giving paralysis than taking advantage of it

well after life orb damage, some of those 2HKOs will turn into OHKOs, which is significant, as life orb damage is in all cases, and for that reason i feel it is just as much of an option

then again, life orb costs health, while flinches save taking hits, there are probably a lot of cases where it might be killed by a not so strong attack solely due to the life orb recoil it took, and there are also going to be cases where a life orb sweep slap wouldnt kill, but 2 kings rock...

its only a shame that growth+baton pass is an illegal egg move combination, or in sun you can get your easy +2/+2 pass to a mixed sweeper

it was refreshing to see a sun team that wasnt 3 chlorophyll sweepers and 3 fire pokemon(thats what a lot of players online seem to think it should be) the warstory wasnt bad, but i definintely dont think its a 10 like some of the others are saying; some of the comments are fine, but others are...

thats very true, especially since if your walling over a long time, the more times you get hit, the more chances to be critted

i do feel a few of the comments were a bit lengthy for saying not a lot, but overall it was a good match with great insight into thought processes, the best warstory ive read

an all bidoof metagame! itd actually be cool, as you can use unaware ones to counter inconsistent ones! hack on baton pass to bidoofs moveset solely for the metagame and you can have passing to simple bidoofs! i think having it banned, but being able to by choice allow it for out of ladder...

not the most exciting of battles, but it was entertaining, which afterall is the point really

didnt read it yet as no mention of current health makes it impossible to follow, especially when you also cut out residual damage and healing etc.

it also got the evo stone, but so did all of the little cup
