what exactly about them makes them so terrible?

uh let's say you can't. the most you'll be able to spend on one pokemon would be a certain amount (depending on the amount of pokemon that wanted to be drafted) ie: 8 players total in the draft and each can draft 8 pokemon, making a total of 64 pokemon being drafted altogether. your highest...

a possible idea that could make things a lot more lively in these drafts: why instead of round-robin, you do auctions? Say all players start out with 100 points, and then each pokemon is put up for auction. Basically, 8 players would say how much they want to spend on a particular pokemon. This...

Yeah I realized the error in my comments and Slowbro can make a nice switch-in. I haven't really experimented with Trick Room but Pesknoir might make me try it some day :D

Again, this is where prediction comes in. If Gyarados Taunts first turn, which it will because it tends to be the safer move, that means Pesknoir must switch out regardless if it used a move or not. If Pesknoir tries a move, then it would have allowed the Bulkydos one free DD. That's the "most...

The only real problem I have with this set is that it screams Gyarados-death if it starts. Typical first turn facing Bulky-dos: you either have to switch out or Trick Room if you think Bulkydos is going to use DD. Then after that what happens? Bulkydos expects the Destiny Bond and just keeps...

I think he meant Focus Sash Shedinja. Now that makes me wonder.. how the hell would that work? Shedinja "gets down" to 1hp? I mean, its already at 1 to begin with >_>

you might as well. lucario is also a good weavile counter with double resistance to dark and ice. the only thing nice about monchan again is novelty points in physical and weaker version of boltbeam combo which will be the norm, making it a rather frail and predictable pokemon.

Linoone = Ziggy

Hitmonchan @ Focus Sash Adamant, Iron Fist, 252 atk, 252 spd, -Agility -Sky Uppercut -Thunderpunch -Icepunch Agil first turn, sweeeep. Or rather just do some damage. Other than that, the only viable option I see is the Choice Scarf one because Chan is too slow.

The trick is getting the Belly Drum off. The only feasible ways I see it happening are either behind a Sub (preferrably BPed) or by predicting a switch, but truth be told, the listed pokemon don't really put enough fear to force a switch. However, Linoone's Gluttony makes it the most...

How about the use of Salac Berry? Just for the Reversal/Flail/Endeavor-ers >_> Edit: Just for those who can't learn DD

have you tried running 0 iv's in hp/def/sdef? edited with Naive also, but already with 0 iv's

Alright, time to answer a few questions. No, base 70 def and sdef with pretty good resistances make this able to take a hit. give it 0 iv's in def/sdef/hp, then think again. Choice scarf limits its moveset severely. BP + SD does hurt also, mind you. That's where the beauty of this set...

granted this is more oriented towards the subreversal-er set. by taking out substitute/endure and replacing it with focus sash, you get a free moveslot for something else. granted you lose the item slot which salac berry would normally occupy, its a high-risk, high reward set based on prediction...

i guess this is very situational in a sense. a STAB-ed (non SD) CC will do this to a max IV, no EV aerodactyl: Defender HP: 301 Move Damage: 250 - 294 A BP would finish it off later. You can even do a reversal without a SD if you think the opposing pokemon's going to hurt you badly.

So I posted this a while ago on the Focus Sash + Lead pokemon thread. Don't have the link so you'll have to search for it yourself if you want to take a look at it. But this is basically what I posted for a lead pokemon. Lucario @ Focus Sash - "Sashrio" Trait: Inner Focus Nature...

Idk what i've been doing wrong.. but for some reason my riolu with pokerus refuses to evolve. i have it max happiness (2 big hearts) but no matter how many rare candies i feed it or no matter how much i level it by exp share, it won't evolve. is that a side effect of pokerus or what?

its okay. for future reference, you can also look in the D/P analysis thread that has some more detailed explanations on certain pokemon and their counters.

magnezone. any kind of special wall (aka blissey). and next time, please post in the "ask a simple question" thread.
