There's no shame in finding the crowd you fit in best with, even if that's a less glamorous/weaker crowd.

...The post in question, literally titled "What if Porygon2 was in RBY?" I guess I should have included a link to begin with, but I didn't want to look like I was making up an excuse to plug my own stuff. I know what Porygon in RBY OU does normally, but Peasounay specifically mentioned getting...

(Quote is from the OU VR thread) Wait, that works? When I was theorymonning on Reddit about Porygon2 a while back, I brought up Sharpen as a potential option but got told (by Sabelette, so an actually credible source and not just a random redditor) that boosting only one level at a time would...

A good way to think about it would be that a move can still "inflict" flinch even if it goes second, it's just that normally getting flinched doesn't do anything in that case - the inflicted flinch goes away at the end of the turn before it can be "activated", but it still got applied, and thus...

What if, instead of trying to rank the best moves overall, we made a "movepool VR" on a per-pokemon basis? S and A-tier moves would be the moves on a pokemon's "standard set", with the A-tier moves being the ones you can drop if you want to run a non-standard option and the S-tier moves being...

So a few weeks ago, I made the bold claim that if Gallade was in RBY - even if it was a Gallade with only 65 special and no EQ or Rock Slide coverage - it would still be a more viable psychic type in OU than Mr. Mime. But after I said that, I got to thinking - is that, like, true? I can't find...

I've been lurking in these threads for several months, but I hadn't posted anything because I'm not really a competitive player and I'm generally gunshy about making new accounts and spreading my email around more than I need to. However, this thread inspired me to try and get more involved with...

So, the cutoff number is 53. Where does that number come from? Is it a percentage or something?

I'm raising a Jolteon in-game in Soul Silver, trying to make a Charge Beam set. It's got Thunderbolt, Charge Beam, Shadow Ball, and hidden power, and the hidden power is Water-type. Power is uncertian, but seems lackluster. Should I keep the Hidden Power, or would a move like Substitute or Yawn...

So I have some fakemon. About eighty of them, actually. And I can't draw them. If there is one artist out there with the right combination of kindness in their heart and boredom to help me, I will be happy. I won't waste your time. If you are remotely interested, PM me and I'll fill you in on...

So I'm making plans for making my own pokemon game, or pair/trio of them, actually. This site seems to be populated by intelligent people who would be great to have nearby while doing such a project, so I'm probably going to use the social groups system this site has to make a base of operations...

I sure do love reading warstories. Are there any for CAP? And if there are, where can I find them?

Okay that's for Battle Tower, no? How about PBR? If I have to choose between good Battle Tower team and good PBR team, I think I'll go for PBR.

Um, thanks for the complement. But the way, the "Xion" in that name is a mascot character of mine that has nothing to do with any other video game series, except WoW, and even that's pretty tenuous. It is pronounced "Kuh-Zion". He was around for ~2 years before 358+1/2 Days was known about by...

Yeah, this is for stuff like the battle tower, maybe PBR if I ever get it. I'm not really going for a competitive team (or else I'd use more powerful pokemon) but I want to be able to go up against a pro and leave him thinking "not too shabby". I have two more questions: Is there any way I can...

Okay, I guess I'll run Toxic. I had chosen Confuse Ray because it seemed like the closest I could get to Thunder Wave on Umbreon, but it was actually a tossup between that and Toxic, so Toxic it is. What I'm really curious about is Sucker Punch. Is that doing any good there, or should it be...

Okay so here's my current prototype: Victreebel *Sunny Day *Solarbeam *Sludge Bomb *Sleep Powder 120 HP / 252 S.Atk / 136 Spd Holds Heat Rock Typhlosion *Sunny Day *Flamethrower *Rock Slide *Solarbeam 4 Atk / 252 S.Atk / 252 Spd Holds Life Orb Umbreon *Heal Bell *Moonlight *Sucker Punch...

Supposedly, they have difficulty due to the prevalence of Tyrannitar & Hippowdon, and their Sand Streams. Speaking of weather... Both Typhlosion and Victreebel have a Sunny Day set, so perhaps a Sunny Day team would be in order for my SoulSilver trio. Would having Sunny Day and Solarbeam on...

I wasn't looking for a good team for just beating the game. As Athenodoros mentioned, with only 3 pokemon I'm going to be overleveled enough that that won't be much of a problem. I was hoping for advice on building the team so that it could then be effective against other people, be it in the...

Okay, on a more directly pokemon note, I want to do a run of SoulSilver with a 3-mon team of Typhlosion, Victreebel, and Umbreon, in honor of my older sister who raised an identical team to Lvl 100 on an Old Gold version. Could I get some advice on good movesets/held items/EV spreads for such a...
