Yeah I forgot that small discrepancy. In any case...But still, it keeps who it needs to keep at bay, at bay.

Hey Rich, welcome to the site . If you're into competitive battling make sure to drop by the our server on ShoddyBattle . Most of us there are pretty casual battlers and not really into all the recording/ other nonsense. Feel free to post a team in the RMT section too . See you soon.

Well it would appear Johto is the best by a clear 16%

Welcome to the site Yellowtoad. I don't suppose you fancy telling us a little about yourself? If you're looking to pwn some people with a pikachu make sure you stop by the Project Pokemon Shoddy server . Enjoy your stay.

Fiend - American Head Charge

OP updated with everything from the passed month. a lot of new abilities and attacks and pokemon. Get discussin'! I'll be back later with my take on the recent events.

Oh God if the middle ones were correct ... that means it's more likely the final evos will be too ... Damn it . Bleh I don't even know what to think now.

I have read the thread a couple times and I still don't get it or what you're proposing to do. I mean what will this accomplish? From a competitive point of view I can already do what you state you want to do. Say I make a team in shoddy and I want to use the same team on Pokemononline. I can export my team to text and paste it directly into pokemononline and it'll accept it. If I wanna post the same team on a forum, ANY forum, it'll be regarded as acceptable and well formatted from any single forum. As for the IV's, I understand it's an example, but they are never exactly hard to understand . I guess I'm missing the point because I don't see the need for it nor have I ever heard an outcry for it. EDIT: I just read one of the replies over at BMG. And I think I got even more confused really. It seems that what you're proposing would also eliminate the need for a Japanese player to go to google, type in a text and then hit the translate button, so that he can communicate with an English speaking forum? If this is the case, then really I can't see much of a need for it still. Gimme some layman's terminology and some sort of light to shine on my bafflement lol. Because if I have got this right then it would appear to be a waste of time. But I can't speak for the rest of the community(s).

Sand Blind Preface... so to speak: Well this is my LC team .. as you can see. I've been getting interested in 'other tiers' quite a lot lately because I had been limiting myself to OU and UU, so things were getting a little boring. Firstly I tried out ubers and it's going ok .. I'm not great but hell I'm not great at any tier lol. I may be spreading myself too thin but hell, at least I'm having fun It's a whole new world and a lot of fun. I'm noticing small and odd discrepencies from the jump from OU to LC... and well they are welcomed surprises really. Anwho, as for the actual team. I started looking over the LC rules and noticed that sandstream wasn't banned, as I thought it would be due to its damage out put per turn .. alas I was being silly as it takes a percentage, not a defined amount. So I ran with the idea and here's what happened. (as for the lame ass name, I figured I'd just play on snow blind due to the team ... I know ... you're in stitches of laughter.) I needed a lead to give me sand, should I actually have a sand team, and as hippopotas was the only one going I figured why not ... I mean I felt so spoiled for choice. The next thing I needed was someone who could function in the sand. I also wanted to try sir larvitar out, and thus he became my physical sweeper. Already I noticed that water was going to be a problem for me. It's a sand team, so that's going to be one of my weakness. I simply searched 'water absorb' and voila here mantyke arrived. She provides much needed ground immunity, water immunity AND she's not half a bad Special sweeper either. Not only is she convenient, but I've always wanted to use Mantine competitively, so I guess I get second best. The choice of gligar came quite easily really. I knew that thus far I wasn't really abusing sand. The sand was just kind of there doing its thing. Now, Gligar gets the lovely sand veil ability, and provides more ground immunity for larvitar should things kick off. And provides more electric immunity for mantyke, should larvitar be down. So I kind of started to get the feel of finding things that can abuse the sand really well. And at this point I wanted to get the most out of the defensive gifties given by sand stream. Also, I wanted to rack up some more entry hazards to hurt things ... basically. I also wanted a Tspiker (and you'll see why very soon). Between Mantyke, Omanyte and Gligar, I have pretty nice defence For my last spot I wanted a few things. I wanted someone immune to fighting, so that narrowed it down quite considerable. I wanted someone speedy and powerful, that narrowed it down further. And well, hiowever I got to gastly I got there. He works much like his OU parent. Being scarfed he can revenge a lot of things, and with his attacks he has a lot of coverage. And provides a not-really-needed-but-nice-bonus in form of hypnosis. Looking a little ...but not much deeper Lead [HGSSSPRITE]449[/HGSSSPRITE] Popo (Hippopotas) (M) @ Oran Berry Ability: Sand Stream EVs: 212 HP/36 Atk/212 Def/36 SDef Careful nature (+Atk, -Def) - Stealth Rock - Roar - Earthquake - Slack Off/Rock slide/Protect Hippopotas... The only lead that can be in a sand team so, really, this lead is all but self explanatory. The given EV's give me a nice Atk stat of 14, it's not brilliant but it can hurt stuff for sure (OHKO dratini after sand + rocks in anycase). 26 HP 12 Spdef Means I am able to live a HP grass off of wingull, and roar it out next turn after the oran activation. Earthquake is standard stab, and roar hits the things that EQ can't. Rockslide is the move that SHOULD be used here, but with Hippopatas' nice bulk it can help in toxic stalling more phsycially enclined foe, protect does the same, however, it doesn't recover, but come sin handy against the fake out leads. --- Physical Sweeper [HGSSSPRITE]246[/HGSSSPRITE] Edgar (Larvitar) (M) @ Flame Orb Ability: Guts EVs: 36 HP/248 Atk/36 Def/188 Spd Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Rock Slide - Earthquake - Crunch - Rock Polish Oh.. Wow. That's all that can be said here really. He's a demon, that's all there is to it. after one Rock polish he hits a very very acceptable speed of 26, backed by a monstrous 25 Attack. A fun thing I found out is Burn only deals 9% damage, whilst giving me a choice band effect... Aint that something . He also gets the lovely SpDef boost from the sand which always welcomed, and lets face it, he's not exactly frail to begin with. He is really the soul purpose of the team. As for the moves, Rock polish is necessary really. Ddance can do good, but a whole host of scarfers revenge him... which is never good. Eq and Rock slide, great coverage really. Rockslide is there over stone edge, as with more speed, there's more chance for a flinch. Also, better accuracy. Crunch, again is stab. However, Keeps Abra and Gastly at bay. --- Special Sweeper [HGSSSPRITE]458[/HGSSSPRITE] Capri (Mantyke) (F) @ Wise Glasses Ability: Water Absorb EVs: 76 HP/36 Def/196 Spd/200 SAtk Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Hydro Pump - Ice Beam - Hidden Power [Flying] - Agility MAntyke is really one of the Go to pokemon on the team when all else fails. She doen't mind getting slapped by an energy ball due to that astronomical Spdef, She has no qualms coming in on a fighting type attack, and seriously pwns stuff after taking a small dent. Wise Glasses was chosen over life orb simply because she is built to take some beating, and I didn't wanna tarnish her survivability by taking a chunk each turn. WiseGlasses works well enough so I have no complaints. After an agility she hits a lovely 26 Speed, and attacks off of a nice SpAtk of 16. Hp Flying is for things like croagunk and paras that think they can abuse Mantyke's Hydro pump for their own selfish needs, while Ice beam give nice coverage and hits dratini. Also, with the water absorb ability, she needn't worry about rocks, as sooner or later a water attack will be aimed at her. --- Sand Abusing Sub Passer ... Oh yes [HGSSSPRITE]207[/HGSSSPRITE] Bill (Gligar) (M) @ Brightpowder Ability: Sand Veil EVs: 156 HP/236 Def/76 Spd Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk) - Substitute - Earthquake - Roost - Baton Pass Gligar is the first sand abuser on the team with wonderful Sand Veil. Brightpowder just makes things even worse for the opponant, while substitute just ruins moar fun. In all seriousness though, this guy hurts; albeit not directly. Once Gligar is out he'll do one of two things depending on the circumstances, Toxic stall while rope-a-doping around the opponents failed attacks - should there be Tspikes out. And if they are not, then his main goal is to pass a sub to someone so they can set up ... Namely larvitar, but anyone will take the sub really... Because well ... It's a nice gift . Usually, people would run Toxic/Sand Attack or Rockslide here, but I figured my team needed help setting up their boosts, and Gligar provided just the way for that. Roost is for that lovely instant recovery and loss of flying type, as you all know and EQ is for Stab. --- Hazards [HGSSSPRITE]138[/HGSSSPRITE] Trilo (Omanyte) (M) @ Oran Berry Ability: Shell Armor EVs: 236 HP/36 Def/236 SDef Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk) - Spikes - Toxic Spikes - Surf - Protect Bulky as hell... Need I say more? Now, really in most case toxic spikes are what I want to get set up. as a lot of the team revolves around the stalling element. The team functions pretty much perfectly without Tspikes, it just gives me another avenue to play with if they are out. I put spikes in over SR, as SR should already be set up, if they're not set up then they will be. Surf is for stab, and protect is for scouting purposes, it's always easier to know what to do next when you know what someone would like to do. His favourite time to come out is when SOMETHING he isn't weak to gets launched, like an expected quick attack. He, can eat those up all day long, And basically just start spamming those hazards. --- Sleep Support/ Revenge Killer [HGSSSPRITE]092[/HGSSSPRITE] Lomax (Gastly) (M) @ Choice Scarf Ability: Levitate EVs: 104 HP/200 Spd/200 SAtk Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Hidden Power [Fighting] - Hypnosis - Thunderbolt - Shadow Ball Gastly. Gastly is .. Ghastly? Bleh. For a revenge killer he works really quite well. The EV spread is just a generic EV spread, 200 in Speed and Spatk get him to a nice 25 and 20, respectively. His many immunities ... All three of them do give him nice times to come in and hurt someone, realistically speaking, after SR a couple of Sand, anything can be killed by Gastly. People are one toxic away, or hasty CC away from getting hurt. Generally speaking he provides Lead support for the likes of Meowth and Aipom. The Storm breaks the sash, and Gastly can then do the rest. Similarly he can come in for larvitar/Omanyte when a fighting attack is launched and start punishing folk for getting in the way. Hypnosis Puts things to sleep that are otherwise problematic, and also aids in setting up. --- So there you have it... My first LC Team. Feel free to rate in which ever way you feel fit. I know there aren't many of you competitive folk out here, so probably far less LC players, but if you're out there come give me a rate . Thanks for taking the time to have a read/skim/scan/W/e

Read the thread lol England, as far as I'm aware, uses the same codes as US. EDIT: if you are still using the trigger from the OP, it's been stated above to use select as the trigger, so that could be your problem. Try this before you try messing with the code.

http://projectpokemon.org/forums/showthread.php?9359-Riolu-Aura-Sphere-Now-s-Pokemon-SoulSilver-HeartGold-Action-Replay-Codes and http://projectpokemon.org/forums/showthread.php?7733-Pokemon-Soul-Silver-and-Heart-Gold-100-US-%28UPDATED-US-CODES-AND-EASIER%29 For future reference, the RAM section contains all AR codes that this site has. You should pretty much find every code thus far in either of those two threads.

You'll be completely walled ... they are levitating ghosts.

Really bad I think Mismagius will quite happily set up on this and destroy you faster than you can tuck your head in preparation of the soon to ensue Tbolt. Gengar will do pretty much the same. Rotom will trick a scarf on you and watch you struggle, while things like dragonite and gyarados can happily Ddance in your face. D nite more so if it's packing Draco meteor. And the thing is, as most blastoise pack rapid spin, spin blockers such as the aforementioned will switch in and completely wall you. Also, with the given EVs and nature you're not accomplishing much. Something like brave would be better suited. 4 Evs in special attack when your not running any special attack also seems a bit weird . Really, these two turn moves are so easy to predict that you very rarely see them used. Earthquake and aqua jet could work quite well, for instance. Blastoise didn't get special treatment in his offences so really you would want to be running Max Hp and alot of attack power to even hit anything for a considerable amount of damage. Dig and Earthquake both provide the same coverage... Just earthquake is stronger and doesn't need to waste a turn . ALSO... with seismic toss running writhe, 90HP subs aren't much really .

Well Yellow for Previously stated reasons ^ ^ ^ Aside from that though, I was absolutely captivated by Silver -> Crystal. Great new (at the time) graphics. MOAR GAME TO PLAY. New awesome pokemon. Gah, what wasn't to love about GCS, apart from, of course Gyara getting nerfed . Though with that, Chansey and ultimately blissey became a whole lot less broken . I gotta say Crystal really for that. Yellow gets the nostalgia factor, but at the time, there was no nostalgia, because it was the present . Ultimately HGSS is by all accounts a better game... But I don't know, GSC was the first, if HGSS had been the first time we saw Johto then it would have taken first spot probably. Now the choice between Silver and Crystal . Plus, had GSC never been made, I'd never have had Noctowl/ Lanturn/ Aipom -> Ambipom and the other likes.

That one would be the 2008 Nzone one. Search the forums for Grovyle's Mystery gift editor, download the WC from the site and open it up in that program, you can then turn it into an AR code.

I recommend using the search feature. It'll be in these forums somewhere.

Thank God ... Though even so, some of the argument can be blown out of the water, seeing as it was confirmed that sketchers were only Beta art. However. The rest of it is pretty convincing. From what I can see, either these are fake, or Gamefreak got hella lazy.

As far as I'm aware, Omastar outspeeds sceptile in the rain. Secondly, Bronzong can switch in on it and put it to sleep, whilst Qwilfish can pwn it with poison jab . But realistically, Sceptile tends to stay down in UU, for fear of Scarftran and other fast sweepers/walls that can stall it out or just out right kill it. It's a shame but it's true . Gravity isn't a bad idea at all, the pokemon that it'd be put on would be 'Zong, however the moves it has are moves that it needs really. While Zapdos can indeed be a problem, I can faux pp stall it's Tbolt with Gardevoire, if i can get a Sp. Def drop out of psychic then hydro pump coming off of Kingdra will take it out, and it wouldn't have to worry about the Tbolt coming in as I'd have passed wish. If all else fails, after being worn down Zapdos will fall to Qwilfish Explosion, be slept by bronzong for a switch in ... or just hurt the team until it falls.

Ok sceptile problems, Moltres will resist it nicely, but as you say it doesn't want to switch in really. So firstly I recommend running donphan over steelix, it makes for a great physical wall, and if you're running moltres you really want to have rocks out of the way. It's either that or you run blastoise over slaking for your defensive needs. Another good option would be scarfed venusaur over hitmonlee, problem there is, it's not as strong and it doesn't deter from the fact that Moltres is exiled to the first segment of the match. Personally, I would give donphan a go over steelix. Counter Miltank... Hmm, I don't likt it a whole lot. However, Curse/Milk Drink/Heal bell/Body slam is a beast of a set with scrappy. Somewthing else you could do is run Lanturn over slowking. While Slowking has that instant health thing going on, lanturn boast equivalent rights as special wall, whilst having health in the form of electric attacks aimed at moltres. Running discharge/surf/sub/filler Will allow you to paralyse the more specially enclined foes, and shuffling between Moltres and lanturn should be able to wear the foe down. They all but have perfect synergy. Personally I don't like mach punch on a scarf set, they seem to cancel each other out. For instance, you rarely find Espeed on a DDancer. If you put Blaze Kick over mach punch, you can then revenge sceptile if worst comes to worst. You could probably also stand to lose some speed eves and pop them into special defence. the hitmons generally do have good special bulk so you may be able to live a leaf storm. If it's too much of an investment, then forget about it. I dunno what else there is to say really. I mean, you COULD stand to lose the moltres and go the route of a speedy Spiker/ Rocker. Alas, It would seem Moltres is your guy, so keep it if it works. Oh one more thing. You could try to will o wisp over the sub on Mismagius. Reasoning being the sub is mainly there to protect from status; and you already have heal bell. However, pursuiters sucker punchers are all going to be gunning for mismagius - Absol, hitmontop, spiritomb all spring to mind. All of them are going to hate Will o wisp, and all will be against mismagius at one point or another.

Welcome to the site Chilly I imagine that post should be ok so long as it pertains to the rules of the site and the forum in question. Nice to meet you and I hope you enjoy your stay .

Personally I don't wanna go posting too much I think i said my bit on the other thread really. However, something you said has caught my eye so I'll debate this point whi'cha The problem isn't really a matter of caring. I mean, do you really think a lot of people cared for some of the pokemon that they used. I sure as hell don't care for registeel but I use him a lot. And the same can be said for things like lanturn and forretress. We are shown great sets out of a select few pokemon that are shown little more interest to, so we all use them, because they have been written about. But then when it comes to pokemon like victreebel and nintales, we see two/three mediocre sets and think 'bleh I'll move on to the next pokemon.' I mean, if there was a huge ass article with a lot of different sets then these pokemon would get more of a looking, and these niche spots that they can provide wouldn't be so hard to find because these pokemon got given the same treatment as the top 10 on the OU board. Of course there is always the problem of "this pokemon can't do ANYTHING" ... I don't expect a pokemon like magikarp to be given a 10 page essay on different ways it can use tackle. But when there is such a vast movepool as that of victreebel (Teeter dance + stun spore/ Sleep powder + swords dance/ Two high attack stats that could work with a scarf/ stockpile... etc etc) In all honesty, I am thankful for smogon... I would still be flat on my arse if it wasn't for their articles. However, in the starting phases I just used what had a lot of writing behind it. Because let's face it, if it has a tonne of writing it has to be more important. I think new players shouldn't be brain washed by this, I don't mean to say smogon as a site is a huge propaganda nazi spewing machine, simply that by the way they write they attract people to certain sets more than others, when these sets might niot help the individual, and if the indivdual is a noob, how is he to know this? But then I guess that leads to the argument that if they can learn from these mistakes it'll make them better battlers, and that frankly noobs shouldn't be spoon fed EVERYTHING. I dunno, I think more care and attention should be given to those pokes that aren't as high on the laderboard, this way new counters and sweepers are found for a much more diverse metagame.

It's back up now btw

So basically this is just a thread for a bit of nostalgic fun-ness. Just specify your Top Memorable pokemon and why they are memorable to you. Here's mine: Clefable; RBY - I super trained the hell out of it on one of my run throughs and pretty much devastated the whole game with it. Charizard; RBY - I am a charizard fan boy people.. it's true. I remember training it to the middle of the night and beyond with a little torch over my game boy. Oh yes, back in the day when we were too cool for the lights of a self lighting console . Originally I had red, so I figured Fire would be the apt starter... I damn near started again when I faced Brock though... Butterfree; RBY - My saviour and the pokemon that allowed me to see charizard for all its worth, Butterfree with its confusion and ability to beat Brock gives her a spot in my most memorable pokemon. Nidoking; RBY - It could do sooo much and work so well . It was the first pokemon along side charizard to never leave my team from the moment of catching it as a Nidoran. I believe I ran a pwn worthy set of Surf/Strength/ThunderBolt/Horn-Drill >: D Pidgeotto; RBY - Well who isn't this memorable for? Everyone knew about this and caught it... Everyone other than me WHO NEVER CAUGHT IT . It's only been recently that I have managed to actually catch the slimy little bird. Who knows, if I had have caught it, Pidgeot might have made this list. Tauros; RBY - This pokemon was a demon to catch ... and with good reason! It pwnd things, that's what it did. My first physical sweeper I suppose . Tauros = win Alakazam; RBY - The same as Tauros really. However, I remember super training this particular kadabra and I wish that Tauros and Alakazam had have been on the same team Shiny Totodile; GCS - The Pokemon I stole from my brother as he slept... Oh I am a lovely big brother. Haunter; RBY - Haunter is planted in my memories due to his aiding me in damn near making one of my friends cry. Ladies and gentlemen I pressed B on his gameboy after trading it with him. He didn't take it too well . I believe that is IRL Trolling . ...So yeah, What about you guys?
