    Other Creative / Underrated Sets Thread (Read the thread, NO SHITTY GIMMICKS)

    Yes, but i just prefer to be able to threaten just about anything with Conk. Switching out of a fairy means they can get a wish off and heal their Genesect/Ageislash/Scizor counter. The poison chance (the same chance Scald has to burn) really helps break through stuff that can recover. And if by...

    Slash Poison Jab in there with Mach Punch. Poison Jab lets you get passed fairies whom otherwise wall you, as well as poison walls like Hippo, Slowbro, Sableye, etc which is invaluable. Mach Punch isnt needed on all teams anyways, especially ones with Ditto, Quagsire, or Mega Banette...

    Pokémon Entei

    I'm talking about the Assult Vest set, obviously Stone Edge is better on a Choice Band set. Mence and D-Nite are more reliably destroyed by Hp Ice, Landorus-T can take alot of Sacred Fires, and even if it is ruined by a burn you still want it dead ASAP so you can burn more stuff instead of being...

    Pokémon Entei

    Those are actually pretty nice calcs. If SR is up they are all guarenteed 2HKO's. That surely beats having to spam an intimidated Sacred Fire against Landorous-T or not being able to ever kill poison heal Gliscor. Getting passed counters so you can burn more stuff is the key to using Entei, and...

    Pokémon Entei

    Has anyone ever considered good ol' Hp Ice? Even with the nerf it still hits Gliscor, Landrous (T), Dragonite, Salamence, etc for massive damage. By dropping Stone Edge you only lose out on Gyrados and fire types not named Heatran. Sacred Fire/Espeed/Hp Ice/Bulldoze is what i would use.

    Pokémon Gyarados

    Water+Ground actually has pretty poor coverage. Dragonite, Salamence, Celebi, Rotom-W, other Gyrados, all wall you. Water+rock is better overall but then you cant touch Ferrothorn.

    Pokémon Garchomp

    Why? I dont find Breloom to be that much of a threat anymore with the powder nerf and whatnot. Heatran is also easy to outright wall, so switching out of him is not the end of the world. Most Heatran wont switch on a Chomp anyways. Honestly I would go even lower then that, but its preference i...

    Other Most Improved Pokemon

    Actually an underrated option is sash Dittto. Last gen it was highly effective if you removed sr/spikes, and now with the defog buff it will be even better. Scare something out with the threat of a scarf, kill the switchin, and then kill another mon if you still have your sash.

    Gen 5 The OU Viability Ranking thread

    C Rank: Reserved for Pokemon who can be effective given the right support. Kabutops should be C rank IMO. You cant use him effectively on a rain team. And the chance you run into an opposing Politoad is like 25% (too lazy to check stats, but i know its well under 50%). So basically 75% of the...

    Lower Tier Threats

    The Suicune is interesting, and I've acutally tested it before. You cant really sweep with it because it has too many checks that are too hard to remove. Latias, Kyrum, Celebi, Ferrothorn, Rotom-W, Politoad, etc can all take a hit and retaliate. Then you have Ninetales and all forms of hazzards...

    Accuracy v. Power

    I feel like the higher accuracy moves are better on everything except dedicated walbreakers, with the exception of HP Fighting and maybe Rock Slide. Yes the averages say the higher damage moves do more damage over time. But most of the time the extra damage DOESNT MATTER. For example, concider...

    Reflecting on BW and Looking Ahead to Gen VI - SEE POST #508

    Wouldnt it be funny if trollfreak only made Marril fairy? Azuril and Azumarril are already different types (normal and water respectively). As far as i know only Marril is confirmed to be a Fairy.

    Reflecting on BW and Looking Ahead to Gen VI - SEE POST #508

    And to think We all thought we were being trolled by the rumored fairy type. Im glad thats its super effective against dragon, lets hope for a resistance to dragon too. What are some other old pokes that you think could get the fairy type? Celebi? Milotic? Blissey would be the sex with a...

    What's wrong with the metagame?

    Im not going to beat the dead horse too much, but i will say that alot of stuff needs to be banned. I've been playing competitively since the beginning of dp, and this is by far the worst metagame I've seen. I've heard maybe 3 players in this whole thread disagree. Out of respect for the OP i...

    Gen 5 The OU Viability Ranking thread

    Ttar for S I know the Ttar arguement is old, but one thing i don't think people appreciate is the sheer number of things CB Tar can trap. If you have good prediction skills, or are good with double switching, it is quite easy to get multiple kills with it a game. There's the standard stuff that...

    how viable is stall as a playstyle?

    Stall's only value as a play style is that teams often under prepare for it (because who uses stall?), so you may be able to pull off a few wins with it. It's really a shame too, since alot of the fun in teambuilding comes from the whole offense vs stall thing. I have attempted to create a few...

    OU Leads

    The speed increase deffinitely does not make up for Extremespeed. Can Mence's speed help it win against Garchomp? Terrakoin? Azelf? Can Mence even think about staying in on Mamo? Mence fares better against Deo, I'll give u that, but Nite is better against the vast majority of leads. Nite also...

    Gen 5 The OU Viability Ranking thread

    Those calcs are not that impressive. Toxicroak, Slowking, Blissey, Chansey, Rotom-w and Celebi will ko you before you ko them. Or worse, paralize you and spam recover moves until you are fully paralized, and then ko you. Tentacruel beats you with a burn or if it has Protect. Not to mention the...
