Serebii says that Reckless doubles the power of moves that have recoil, but last gen it only increased it by 20%. Is this a mistake on his part or am I missing something here?

It was my Umbreon vs. a Zangoose and a Cradily back on Netbattle. My Umbreon had Protect/Wish/Baton Pass/Toxic, and it was fairly healthy. Zangoose kept Returning me, and I couldn't Toxic it because it had Immunity. He kept trying to switch between Zangoose and Cradily to try and stall out my...

Thanks guys. I'm usually not that lucky but I never get THAT unlucky :/

I haven’t played for a long time, so I decide to throw together a team and test it out. Little did I know it was going to be a very frustrating battle ahead… Rules -Evasion Clause -Freeze Clause -OHKO Clause -Sleep Clause -Species Clause -Timed Battle My Team (in order...

-More freaking Rapid Spinners. Or make a new move act like Rapid Spin. Having only 17 FE Pokemon that know Rapid Spin (and even less that are actually usable) while you have a bajillion Stealth Rockers isn't what I would call balanced. -Fix The Fire and Ice problem. There are a whopping two...

And Tentacruel continues to climb from #50 to #26. Truly amazing.

MEDICHAM! It already has incredible attack, so a CS lead can be deadly. Adamant CS Medicham outspeeds all 125 base speed Pokes, and HJK + Fire Punch + Ice Punch + Thunder Punch = :D

You think Roselia is small? Budew is only 8 inches. Then you'd think Arceus is like 6-7 feet, but it's 10'6". HOLY CRAP. And then theirs Miltoic at...20'4"? That's like more than three times as tall as me (I'm 6'3"). I mean just standing up and then imagining how big it is scares me. Also...

Giving Heracross an evo would make every team forced to carry Gliscor/Weezing. Giving Skarmory an evo would make every team forced to carry Magnezone. Seriously. Think about what you're saying :/ Anyways, I think that Houndoom (my favorite Pokemon of all time) deserves an evo. Just give it...

Ever stomp on a roach only to have it get up and scurry away unscaved?

But why would anyone switch Wobbuffet into another Wobbuffet anyway? :/

A "counter" by definition is a Pokemon that can switch into the opposing Pokemon safely, and since nothing can switch into Wobuffet (Shadow Tag), no Pokemon is a "counter" to it.

My main guess as to why they made Poison neutral to Bug was so that Bug and Grass didn't share so many weaknesses. And to balance it out, they made Bug neutral to Poison (instead of super effective). I think that Poison should be super effective against Fighting, just so that it can have SOME...

Does Sketch bypass Taunt?

Seriously. Some of these ideas would make these Pokemon broken. There's a reason GF didn't give some of these Pokemon certain moves.

I don't know. Even without Soul Dew, their movepools are pretty insane.

I don't think the problem here is that we're making BL too big, but that we're making UU too small. If we continue down the same path of moving UU walls to BL and moving the UU sweepers to BL because there are no walls in UU, then we have a major problem. I mean this is the same thing we tried...

Medicham CANNOT 2HKO Bold Max HP/Def Cresselia with Double-Edge, even with Stealth Rock. It does a max of 44.59%, which means if it switches in, you can do 44.59% + 12.50% which is 57.09%. Cresselia now has 42.91% health left, but after leftovers, it has 49.16%. I mean I guess if Sandstorm is...

I really like using SDcross as a late game sweeper. Scarfcross doesn't really have as much power as I would like it to, and I like being able to switch between attacks for the sweep.
