  1. Other XY OU Viability Ranking Thread (B- and C+ Pokemon discussion)

    My bad, Aegislash can OHKO with Rocks. Why Vivillon could viably be in OU: Access to Compoundeyes, Sleep Powder, Hurricane, and Quiver Dance, and above-average stats for a special Bug-type. She can come in and reliably sleep a Pokemon with 93% accuracy. Hurricane's accuracy get's boosted to 91%...
  2. Other XY OU Viability Ranking Thread (B- and C+ Pokemon discussion)

    Relegate Latios to A Thanks to Fairy, Aegislash, Greninja, and a host of other faster Pokemon, Latios's options have been severely cut down. Choice Specs Draco Meteor no longer can be spammed with impunity, as a Fairy switch-in completely blocks the threat. Aegislash OKHOs the poor thing with...
  3. Charizard X [2/3]

    I'll give you 5 seconds to think about what you've written here. . .. ... .... ..... Yeah, maybe if you Mega evolve, switch out, then switch back in, you'll only take 25% damage. But the fact that you switched out CharX is already an issue, it means you played your trump card at the wrong time...
  4. Gen 5 The OU Viability Ranking thread

    I'd like to venture Vaporeon for B- Vaporeon is a slightly above-average bulky Water type. It's 130/60/95 spread leaves something to be desired from the defensive side, but it sponges most attacks reasonably well. 110 Special Attack allows Vaporeon to dish out some nice Scalds/Surfs/Hydro...
  5. NU Survival of the Fittest

    If it wasn't for Duosion, Team 2 would have had an outright win. Let's look at overall stats for now: Both teams have an equal speed scarfer (Rotom forms) Both teams have a CB, Sawk focusing on damage and slightly higher speed while Emboar is more tanky Both teams have weather, Snover is...
  6. The UU Viability Ranking Thread

    I retract my claims on Rhyperior. Dang, that poke has some support. For my thoughts on Sharpedo, the one issue that doesn't give it an auto-A rank is the lack of any offensively boosting move and enough bulk to actually grab one boost from that. While Sharpedo's STAB coverage is wonderful and...
  7. The UU Viability Ranking Thread

    I disagree in general with your Bronzong and Rhyperior comments, Bronzong absorbs practically anything with impunity. Crobat has nothing on it: it's Brave Bird barely scratches, it's poison moves don't work and Gyro Ball hurts like nothing else, an easy 2HKO with SR. I can't see how Bronzong is...
  8. The UU Viability Ranking Thread

    Let's give my 2 cents on this: Bronzong should be a B rank. Steel-Psychic is one of the BEST typings around, shared only with Jirachi and Metagross way up in OU. With Levitate, it can only be sufficiently damaged by Fire-type moves, which works in its favor because it can draw out the dangerous...
  9. Smogon PlayTCG Tournament #8 - Dark Explorers [Won by Mekkah]

    phooey...its cuz its AP season now >.> oh well n_n i hope this tournament is EPIC!
  10. BW: Dark Explorers Discussion

    With all the boosts to Dark Type Pokemon (Dark Patch for massive speed-setup and Dark Claw for +20 dmg), Darkrai EX has a pretty legit chance of setting up SUPER fast. Plus, just check out all the Dark type pokes in HGSS. T-tar Prime? You could probably get that thing going in 3 turns or less.
  11. Smogon PlayTCG Tournament #8 - Dark Explorers [Won by Mekkah]

    eh, I'll join for now, and but depending on my schedule i might just resign early on so im basically a bye n.n
  12. The Genius of Richard Reti's Endgame Analysis

    Start of turn 43! Arceus-Water used Calm Mind! Arceus-Water's Sp. Att. rose! Arceus-Water's Sp. Def. rose! Alexis breeze's Kyurem used Dragon Tail! Arceus-Water lost 84 HP! (18% of its health) Rain continues to fall! Alexis breeze's Kyurem restored a little HP using its Leftovers! I think...
  13. Dream World Suspect 1: Blaziken (Banned)

    Let's face it. Blaziken would be fine without Baton Pass. It's relatively easy to slam Blaziken with an EQ, Hydro Pump, Surf, Psychic, etc. and kill it. But Baton Pass? Now the ridiculous speed boosts aren't focused on Blaziken anymore. So to effectively counter Blaziken, you would have to...
  14. Dream World CCAT (Signups for laddering!)

    .... imo, Work Up > HP Ice. I guess it wouldnt make THAT big of a difference, but I find it hard to see any use of HP Ice ESPECIALLY if its a Rain Team.
  15. Dream World CCAT (Signups for laddering!)

    I'd like to make a change to Shrang's set to further complement this team - replace HP Ice with Work Up. On a rain team, Ice is already well available in the form of Ice Beam, and with a Work Up under it's belt Meloetta 2HKO's Gliscor with Relic Song, counting the switch in forms. Work Up will...
  16. Dream World General Metagame Discussion

    Yeah, simply put, eliminating it's water weakness in such a rain-filled metagame is amazing. Here's a pokemon I haven't seen or heard from yet in DW OU, and I seriously wonder why: Azumarill. Imean, double STAB'd Aqua Jet with Huge Power and Choice Band? Imean, sure Water Absorb will stop that...
  17. Oh these movesets are quite dreamy!

    In reply to the first post... Chandelure @Leftovers 252 HP / 100 SpA / 156 Def Bold -Protect/Substitute -Calm Mind -Flame Charge -Flamethrower Most Chandelure sets run Calm Mind + Acid Armor to become a walking tank. But the base 80 speed really hampers it, and I can easily kill a Chandelure...
  18. Winter Wonderland: Hail in the DW Metagame

    Walking in a Winter Wonderland~ Overview- Hail never was popular enough in any metagame besides UU. Lackluster Pokemon abusing it along with a Stall-based orientation caused the final weather to be vastly overlooked and unconsidered. Dream World aims to change that issue, adding some...
  19. Dream World CCAT (Signups for laddering!)

    Typhlosion @ Choice Specs Flash Fire 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid -Eruption -Solarbeam -Focus Blast -HP Rock Scariest thing in the sun to date. Without the sun, still pretty scary.
