is it possible to trade from a gen 4 platform to gen 5?you can't
Hi guys, how do i go about asking for recommendation to fight against a team ? that friend of mine kept on winning me with this OU team
If this is ingame, Aldaron's proposal isn't enforcedAh, a basic boosting Sun team. Well, the easy way to beat that is simply to add a DrizzleToad or a Tyranitar to your team. No kidding. Take away the weather and suddenly the team is no longer as dangerous. I would also go for Stealth Rock to make Ninetales think twice about switching in, which a TTar can also do.
It seems to me the two biggest threats on his team are Ninetales and Cloyster, as the others all rely on these two for support and thus are useless without them. As such, a decent fighting type would be very helpful, especially if it has access to rock type moves as well (Stone Edge anyone?). I'd argue LO Mienshao could knock a good chunk of that team out with a set of Stone Edge/U-Turn/HJK/HP Ice, running a Naive/Hasty nature. The good ting about Mienshao is that your opponent has no Ghost pokemon or Protect users, meaning aside from a WoW from Heatran, there is nothing to stop Mienshao from just spamming HJK all day long. Regenerator means LO won't take a huge toll, and HJK means Cloyster with think a lot before coming in, while Stone Edge keeps that blasted Ninetales at bay, and HP Ice scores SE damage against Lilligant. You could opt to run Fake Out in place of Stone Edge, but you lose out on the SE damage against Ninetales. Oh, and watch out for Victini, as its Psychic Typing resists HJK, so make sure to hit it with a Stone Edge on the way in. That thing (like all pixies) has deceptively good bulk.
So...yeah...Politoed + LO Mienshao would be my choice, maybe with a few more pokemon who can take advantage of rain (Hurricane Dragonite anyone?). Alternatively, run Kingdra with Politoed and Mienshao (note: use Sniper not Swift Swim on Kingdra due to Aldaron's Proposal) and abuse that 4x resist to fire and neutrality to grass, while hitting hard with Outrage/Draco Meteor/Waterfall/whatever you feel like. Hell, ChestoRest Kingdra could rip through half that team (assuming anyone still uses ChestoRest anything anymore these days).
"Usage" is the percentage of teams that a Pokemon appears on during the month. So if there are 5000 games in a month, that's 10000 teams, and if a Pokemon is on 1000 of those teams it has 10% usage. "RealUse" only counts Pokemon that actually hit the field in a match, so if that same Pokemon only actually hits the field in 800 of those matches then it has a lower real use. I'm not exactly sure if the percentage for real use only includes the Pokemon that hit the field in the 100% or not so I'm not sure if it'd be 8% or some other percent in this case but whatever. Point is, we use Usage not RealUse to calculate teirs and RealUse is mostly a curiosity.In the PO usage stats, what is the difference between "Usage" and "RealUse"? How is each calculated?
No it should still be there I think. Still don't wait too long. After you download it to your game though you can leave it languishing on the Entralink for as long as you want though, so if you have to time get to it.Does anyone know that if I've already activated the Arceus event and it's queued up to be downloaded, that if it'll be deleted if I don't send it to my game by tomorrow? (Should go in Orange Islands, but there's no simple question thread there.)
Missed this. Red Card is often seen as a rather gimmicky item which is why you don't see it too often in analysis lists. Personally, the best pokemon using Red Card that I have seen, and used! was a Deoxys D with Red Card / Recycle, Spikes, Recover and Ice Beam. The Basic premise was to spike up spikes, and when you get hit Red Card activates and they get phased out, hopefully into something less threatening. Then you simply Recycle your Red Card, can heal up to full health, and you are ready to go again!What 'mons/sets can best use Red Card? I thought I've seen Skarmory or Forretress sets with it, but I can't seem to find them.
Believe it or not, Intimdate Hitmontop gets the job done against all but CB Terrakion. It takes a pittance from unboosted CC, resists Terrakion's Rock STAB and even lowers its attack as it comes in. If the jerkass tries to put up a sub switch to a Phazer, as at -1 Attack it's sure to be able to handle whatever it tries to do to you. If it doesn't sub, you OHKO with CC most of the time or at least get it within 2% of dieing at worst (any priority then fixes your problem).Are there any defensive pokemon other than slowbro that can handle SD terrakion (rock gem mostly, but hopefully sub as well)?
