Did i saw what saw?

Someone using Rest Talk Entei other than me? WOW

It needs CM, of course...

And finally: i've been using it for like two years without seeing a single one (other than me of course).
People doesn't realize how CM Rest Talk Entei is a absolute monster, with the nice plus of burning things with Lava Plume.

I loled. Reinvent itself? A NP set that actually sweeps instead of passes? ....Actualy NP Technician boosted STAB swift sound painful

Well it's better than being a trick pony of a lead. Seriously often times it's dead weight. (Except when Silent Verse uses it... Shudder's)
 
Actually, I was thinking of using Roar over CM as I need a Phazer. Still, I can see CM Entei with Lava Plume working wonders. I might try that later.
 
So Ambipom@Life Orb
NP
Swift
Water Pulse
Baton Pass(Pretty much a filler since you get perfect coverage)

Also, first once to face NP sweep Ambi wins!

what usually happens is we finish identifying (this ends today), and then there's about a week to write paragraphs. a few days after the paragraph submission deadline, voting threads are posted with the names of those whose paragraphs were accepted.

Wish someone had told me this -_-, i guess its not as important since i made uppers, but still =/.
 
I hate NP Ambipom and Persian. Of course, anything that I hate will QUICKLY become prominent on the ladder, so I guess I'll put Sceptile and Alakazam in all my teams.
 
NP Ambipom is probably only useful because you can Baton Pass the boosts out. Anyone using it purely to sweep should look at better alternatives.
 
Ambipom can pass, but Hypnosis loves me.

Persian used Hypnosis!
Moltres fell asleep!
Moltres is fast asleep!

Persian used Nasty Plot!
____ switched in Donphan!

Persian used Water Pulse!
____'s Donphan fainted!

No one expects it. I missed this. =p
 
lol, looks like everyone's having fun with UU pretending the suspects are already banned and we have the metagame we so eagerly sought out.

Too bad I plan to continue abusing them. Keep the gimmicks coming, people!
 
Lmao you just keep running your Moltres/Froslass/Raikou/Venusaur/Milotic/Dugtrio teams cause we gimmick users just love taking advantage of that. ;) As do so many other teams on the ladder.
 
Ive been using a cool new anti lead...

Toxicroak @ Focus Sash/Life Orb

Bullet Punch
Protect
Cross Chop
Dark Pulse

Beats Ambipom, froslass, and all those lead hariyamas ive seen popping up.

Speaking of which, been seeing a lot less lass lately. Anyone seen any cool leads lately?
 
Oh well, we can't complain about people using the same boring pokes nearly all the time.
They are effective, and people wants to win. No wonder they are among the top UU pokes...

Though stalling a entire team that has Chansey and a bulky water with CM Rest Talk Entei is just priceless. Or people that has problems with a LO Pelipper. I mean, Pelipper. PELIPPER.
 
Flying/ Water has pretty amazing coverage in UU... so the only negative aspect Pelipper is his awful speed and, to some extent, his mediocre attack stat.

It's not that we're complaining. We're actually trying to help all those people who think they can just put the top 6 together and call it an effective team. That isn't how it works. Nobody's saying use gimmicks or die, but if your team is so predictable you're playing at a disadvantage.
 
well, except for my lead, (who is awesome) my team is pretty bog standard, bulky lass set up spikes for a moltres/swellow/raikou sweep, with donphan to spin. and Ive only lost one match today (god damn quagsire, how the hell does it wall swellow with enough HP leftover to take raikou down?) Yeah im a bitch for going bog standard, I just wanna get on the leaderboard for once :(
EDIT: Need raikou counter...

If people slap 6 top UU pokes together, it can still be effective. Even if it's really predictable, who's going to take a attack from Moltres? Or prevent Dugtrio from revenging a poke of yours? (hint: Porygon 2). Or having Venusaur put something to sleep?

Of course, you can also do a effective team with no standards (i believe my most sucessuful UU team ever was made of 6 NU pokes), but that's... harder.
And people often seeks to do things the easy way.

At least that's what i think.

No way. Synergy is what matters the most in my opinion. Slapping the top UU pokemon is just pointless (unless said pokemon have efficient synergy)

NU team's can definetely succeed in UU. (They can't own but they can be efficient)

Hi metagame, my name is Torterra/Stall and I want to **** all over you...

double lol
 
I think so too.
But no good player slaps 6 pokes in a team, so we don't need to worry about that.

Anyway, i'll just give a example of what i'm trying to say:

It's hard to have synergy with Exeggutor/Magcargo/Quagsire for example (and hey, those three has instant recovery and good defensive stats and they make a G/F/W core).
Ok, Magcargo sucks. Change it to Entei.

While it's easier to have synergy with Venusaur/Arcanine/Milotic (all top pokes). So why use the harder, less effective trio when we have the best?

The answer is obvious.
 
I seem to be doing fine on the ladder and in #stark cups running the same predictable core of suspects every single time. I don't know what you guys are talking about.
