Not bad at all, I worked over the summer, went back to School a few weeks early for job training, and tomorrow everything starts up again.

Completely up to you mate, It seems as if Project pokemon is dying though. There hasn't been a real discussion since around the time we left, I'm only back now because of the release of HG/SS and I needed a place to discuss pokemon for awhile. So many people have come into the scene that I feel like I don't belong here anymore too. Much better than Serebii, Marriland, Pokecharms, Bulbapedia or Smogon in my opinion though, it just needs a breath of fresh air. And yes, I remember you. How have you been?

No worries, I mainly just post on this forum whenever I need to get a quick pokemon fix. Which usually lasts a few weeks or so at a time. Then I completely forget about it ... Anyway, pleasure to have you aboard! May we be sporadic together.

He looks just like an Orbital frame.

I've still not seen a single shiny pokemon in game, aside from the red gyarados.

I haven't touched photo shop in awhile, but I figure I would make you something until these fine fellows got around to your Sig. Hmm, seems I haven't posted in awhile either. Anyway enjoy it please, Here's the URL if you aren't using firefox; http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/2715/pokesavmaster.png

Or remove Taunt on Gyarados and replace it with sleep talk, after Intimidate hits Breloom, focus punch is doing crap damage and you can still stat up and attack after that. I would suggest changing its EV spread to something bulkier however.

Coverage is always nice, but as I said its meant to counter a few specific pokemon, basically ground/fire/steel/bug pokemon that are now hitting harder than ever thanks to platinum. Even after stealth rock is in Gyarados takes hits from those types like a champ, DD is only on that set to act as a "scout" type of attack. It also assures OHKO's and speed advantages on specific pokemon after a boost ( gengar for OHKO's and 252 speed timid jolteon for speed, and anything with a scarf thats slower, heatran anyone? ) for coverage taunt can be dropped, but as I said this moveset isn't meant to kill more than its supposed to. Hence the Jolly nature and only 2 attacks. Basically think of it as a Gliscor with different typing ( also different coverage ) and the ability to use DD. But I havent battled in awhile anyway, Smogon either has me up against shiity players or fucking amazing ones, and no ones on PP shoddy anymore.

Waterfall + earthquake isn't meant to hit super effectively, its just meant to hit things for neutral damage as not much resists both of them bar things rotom and whatnot, but this set is meant to counter very specific pokemon and not just run through teams, as too many people are much too prepared for that now.

Tyranitar wants this set, 252 hp/252 attack/ 4 def Earthquake Stone edge Crunch Substitute @ leftovers. Speed is not an issue for Tyranitar, but 252 hp and his own sandstorm boost lets him survive Choice scarf gengars focus blast ( LO and choice specs rape Tyranitar, but it IS a 4x weakness, so being able to live through an unboosted one is pretty sweet already. ) And with substitute you get great scouting chances as most things that switch into tyranitar are pretty easily 2HKO'd anyway, and with a sub up it means its harder for them to try and setup on you. Switch out gengar to Latias, use this set 252 Hp/ 252 speed/ 4 special attack, Timid nature Draco Meteor Surf Calm mind Thunderbolt @ leftovers Its an odd set, and its not meant to stall out the whole metagame or something like that, but essentially you can switch in on anything that doesn't threaten you, calm mind once and have great special attack ( and even better defensive capabilities )but it doesnt sacrifice survivability nor speed. The amount of things you can setup on with this set is ridiculous and aside from rapid spinning its a much better special wall than tentacruel. If your not into playing risque as they say, use this set 252 special attack/ 252 speed Timid nature, recover/calm mind/dragon pulse/ surf Gyarados is something that I use extensively as its perfect for countering fire types and fighting types. Try out this EV spread and moveset 168 speed/ 252 attack/ 84 hp, Jolly nature Dragon dance Waterfall earthquake Taunt It will let you screw up stall quite a bit, after 1 DD you outspeed jolteon and OHKO with earthquake, and the natural speed+ nature lets you outspeed most electrivire and OHKO with earthquake. try out some changes and get back to us with what you get mate.

Dunsparce. That or Farfetch'd actually.

Sorry for the shitty quality, SS's suck.

Hey you guys are all getting better! Thats awesome. Anyway I saw the featured signature and made one with a friend a while back thats really similar to the style he was using let me pull it outta the cabinet for ya. Edit * Its pretty much just 6 pokemon that remind me of stuff that I like .

Actually it dropped in ranking because people weren't using it enough and with it being Stealth rock weak, shallow movepool and easily counter-able by priority users ( scizor/Lucario anyone? ) Which also means that with SS up and SR on the field, even if you switch in Yanmega, and then switch out to trap and kill scizor/Lucario, Yanmega is then useless. Which makes it a one shot pokemon. ( as a late game sweeper it functions extremely well, assuming you aren't faced against an End game Priority user. ) Its UU status also isn't definitive, however people still aren't using it so smogon can't really get any numbers and give it a clear tier standing. And until further large scale testing is posted I don't think anyone can really make that decision here. Posting one or two war stories about how you swept someones team with a yanmega does not give anyone a clear understanding/overview of Yanmega's ability . Even more so here as everything is about consistency . As for Umbreon, the abundance of Bug/Fighting attacks really makes it not that hard to counter. Umbreon breaking UU is a joke, however like yanmega it can be a potent force if used properly and is a decent UU option if you know how to use it properly.
