FAQ

1) Why didn't you have a spinner?

Because I forgot.

Can someone suggest one for me, please?

2) Is Articuno really a stall machine?

If used properly, yes. Use is best with spikes and stealth rock though... and with Roar possibly. You NEVER want Articuno status'd, so I built this team to make Articuno do its job. Unfortunately, I can see I am lacking a spinner and a spiker... and I can't use TS in UU, so many pokes can absorb it :(

I still don't think Articuno's UU material. Probably one tier higher. Sure, standards can kill it, but it can outstall bulky waters (even Thunderbolt Starmies) :P

Even with the many Poison or Steel Pokemon in UU, Articuno isn't exactly walled by them. STAB Ice Beam still hurts many Poisons, and some of them even have a secondary typing that's weak to Ice (Nidos, anyone?) and it still does a considerable amount of damage. Steel types, on the other hand, are quite slow, so I can sub, sub, roost, sub, and repeat until that single move of theirs gets depleted (thank Pressure). And don't even think about Stone Edge. That thing'll deplete instantly, and after I Sub, it'll bound to miss sometime... (hopefully :(). I could say the same for Fire Blast... and when it comes from a non-STAB source, it's not even going to OHKO or sometimes even 2HKO. Articuno will take down at least 2 Pokes by stalling.

I use a similar set with Moltres. The problem with these two is that they're both 4x weak to Stealth Rocks... so handle with care.

But Gamefreak... with 90/100/125 defenses, you'd think this thing would be a tank... but you screwed up its typing! Please give Ice more resistances... please? And reduce Stealth Rock's effectiveness, it's working a bit TOO well D:

Fun Fact: Articuno is the only Pokemon with Mind Reader + Sheer Cold combo. Too bad it doesn't work in real battles :(

Articuno is one of the few Pokemon that can outstall Stallrein :P

MODERN UPDATE: Please just run Freeze Dry: it gives it a niche to beat common bulky waters. Articuno is bulkier than it looks!

3) Why didn't you use Abomasnow?

Old Smogon considered Abomasnow OU. Nowadays that would be allowed though.

4) How did your Glaceon survive Hitmontop's Close Combat?

I maxed out her HP and gave a few EVs in Defense. The rest went into her Special Defense. With that monstrous Special attack, who needs SpA investment? Defensive Glaceon FTW.

5) Why not use Walrein? That thing is NU according to Smogon.

I am no longer familiar with tierings. The game is too different now.

 

Thanks to:

ParaDoX65: For that awesome battle. We play UU or NFE all the time.

Articuno: The main attraction of this battle :P

Registeel: For being a tough opponent

Snover: For setting up hail

Chansey: For being an awesome wall and cleric

Nidoqueen: For setting up Stealth Rocks

Mismagius: For being used on both of our teams... and using the wrong moves :P

The other Pokemon: For playing

Greencat: For this layout that I stole from him

You: For being patient with my incompetence... and reading this.

That was a great battle Wraith :P As you probably noticed, I need work as well.

--->*ParaDoX65 is quite obvious in his predictions*<--- And yes, My username provides me with magical powers that cause hax. xD (thats how I win xD) You still won with those few mistakes and the hax :P thats something worth mentioning.

Have you tried Claydol for a spinner? He can also set up SR :)

Btw, in the "thanks to..." section, you spelled my name wrong :P Force of habit I guess?

Thanks :P

Claydol works great with Articuno, so maybe I'll give it a whirl.

[sprite]344[/sprite]

Claydol@Leftovers

Bold Nature

252 HP/144 Def/60 SpA/52 Speed

- Rapid Spin

- Stealth Rock

- Psychic

- Earth Power

How's this? Now who am I going to replace? :confused:

Snover is NOT going to be my lead. I never put the weather changers up front... it ruins the surprise :P

EDIT: Fixed mistake with warstory...

I replaced Snover's pics with Mismagius... silly me. (come on, 429 and 459 are TOO similar in numbers!!)

I have Claydol, Sandslash, Hitmontop and Blastoise in my mind... hmmmm...

Why not sandshrew..it is way cuter, blastoise is fat, and claydol looks weird. Those are my problems with them. I dont even know if sandshrew can learn rapid spin...:tongue: but it looks cute!

Not aesthetics though... it's their stats that matter :-/

If it was an NFE battle, then I'd sure use them :P

Well, for a hail team, Cloyster would work well, especially since he's Chansey's opposite. Also, toxic spikes = win, and just replace Ice Beam with Blizzard and you're set.

Use something like:

Cloyster @ Leftovers

Ability: Shell Armor

Nature: Bold (+Def,-Atk)

- Toxic Spikes

- Rapid Spin

- Blizzard

- Surf

Simple hail abuse, along with rapid spin, STAB water, and toxic spikes. Only Tentacruel can claim as much.

Thanks empoleonmikel. To make Articuno work, it has to be in the right environment. Most of Articuno's counters are vulnerable to Spikes, and really, without STAB, no one is going to 2HKO this thing with Thunderbolt or Flamethrower (although Stone Edge is a potential OHKO or 2HKO >.>). And even with STAB, this thing can survive at times. With Sub and Toxic and Hail and PP stalling and Roost, this thing's pretty tough to take down :P

It's only problem is Ice Beam is really its only useful offensive move, but still, Ice Beam has one of the best type coverage out there, so it's not much of a problem.

Time to make a custom Dragon slaying Articuno >=)
