Nice debate guys. Personally my favourite is the PS3. It has a huge variety of games and graphics like no other. The XBOX 360 is nearly as good as the PS3 but very unreliable and needs a lotta repair....cause it gets oh so many problems The Wii is just like a Fad really, kinda like Beyblade was lol. It comes and gets old and boring. The PS2 was THE console to have before this generation and the PS3 though pricey is the one thats just ahead of the competition IMO. BTW does the XBOX 360 have a Blue Ray disk player? cus the PS3 has it.....not to mention super stylish and slick looks.

Yeah well if its your pet and it smiles at you...... its so adorable! You just feel like givin it a big hug :biggrin:

Im gonna make wraith have some Pikastew baby!!:biggrin: All these pokes that look cute actually dont appeal to me at all. I hate how they look...especially smoochum >_< yeckh.......they mesmerise you with their cuteness and make you go willy-nilly, bah!! i hate those 2 freakin rats. Pikachu is so lame....he beat the Orange league champions dragonite and lost to Garys Eevee:eek: and even Electivire later WTH!! My idea of cute is kinda like when the pokemon is powerful and good looking.....i find them really cute. Like Metagross....and Tyranitar omg hes so cute when he smiles:redface:

Yeah me too. i dont even collect them sometimes but most of them are given forcebly...so we cant help it lol. HM 09 might be a joke....or it could be some nonesense move like rock smash or defog which has no other use aside from field usage.Hopefully it can be a radical new move that can be used to dig holes through walls or something. Honestly!! when i heard about rock climb i was sure it was a rock type move. Rock and ground types can learn with some others....pfft turned out to be normal type and useless as usual.

HEY HEY HEY its Goldy here! I see most of the other teams have been rated already and saw that this one wasnt, so i'll do this one b4 anyone else jumps on to it hehe. :biggrin: huuhhhhhhh......... You rely too much on toxic stalling whereas none of your pokes but Blissey can heal!! First of all, what i see here is a nasty Infernape weakness you have.......MixApe just adores this team and would love to have some target practice. Lemme show you how he would go through this team with LO equiped Roserade-Big LOL, Fire Blast, no contest other than lead ape. Salamence-HP Ice Suicune-Grass Knot Electivire-Fire Blast Rotom-Fire Blast Blissey-Huge LOL again. Close Combat Ape can be slowed down a tiny bit by suicune as many know Ape cant OHKO it without a nasty plot boost so it survives....but they dont know your Cune has no HP or Spe def EVs and will soften suicune up b4 they sweep. You do have checks against Luke and Scizor. Sally is countered as well but i think the MixMence will give you problems, again your Suicune is designed to take physical hits, so a draco meteor will mostly ohko with SR damage. Once your lead faints, which it WILL early on, you have nothing to beat Swampert. Swampy also completely walls your Evire and so does Hippo. Forry can actually take a Fire Punch and maybe ohko back with Earthquake. But yes forry can just stop your Evire and not much else. Swampy then moves on to beat Sally and rotom and then even blissey. Suicune can just roar it out but not without taking hefty damage with EQ first. And you say Gengar is "A" weakness, you should correct that to a HUGE weakness. It goes through this team quite unhindered. Suicune goes down to Tbolt, blissey cant do anything to it beside Ice beam which wont matter too much while Gengar 2hkos you with Focus Blasts, you rely on your rotom to beat Gar? thats insane :eek: Gar is much much faster than rotom even if its Modest! it can still OHKO rotom with a LO shadow ball. Gar will also 2hko Evire with Shadow ball and ohko Sally with HP Ice. You also say that Evire likes to come in on Electric attacks fired by rotom..... but what can it do back to rotom? Fire punch and ice would hit the same and do measly damage without stab while Rotom itself will 2hko you with shadow ball if you switched into SR. Another thing is Gyarados, who has nothing to fear rather than suicune...who cant do much back to it other than roar. That and with no healing move means it WILL faint after a few hits leaving a huge hole in your team which nothing else can fill. The rest of your team gets mangled by Gyara as rotom is not scarfed by which it can revevnge kill gyara. If your opponent finds out its not scarfed....he needs just a little more damage on it so that Gyara can later Dragon dance and sweep finishing off rotom with Waterfall. Rest go down quite easily to the Waterfall, ice fang/SE, EQ combination Gyara runs. And how could i ever forget this beast of a pokemon............Dragon Dance Tyranitar will annihilate you. After a single DD it gets when switching on rotom or blissey (it may get 2 or 3 if your foolish enough and decide to stay in) it can run through this team like a Bulldozer. AGAIN your suicune is the only thing that "SLOWS" it down....but only phazes it...not even 2hko with Surf i think if Tar has Lefties. Then with Cune gone Tar plays with this team like the adorably cute pokemon it is:smile:....i mean thats how i feel about him :redface:.....so sue me! i have many favourites! BOTOM LINE IS........i dont even know where to start and what to change in this team.....:frown: 1) The top Pokemon of the game have no checks at all. 2) You rely too heavily on Suicune as your physical wall. If its down your teams almost finished. 3) As mentioned firstly none of your pokemon can actually stall as nothing but blissey has Healing moves. I recommend that you go back to the drawing board and rethink this, then post again. I will rate that team for you as well if im free. Sorry but unlike ~GC~s team which was shoved away and I made it work.....i cant make this one work without changing many of the pokes. ---------- Post added at 12:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 AM ---------- Sorry Cule buddy but this team isnt balanced in the least.

LOL good one.

I never said Gyara is a fine lead Randy, can i call you that?, lol. I say that it cant beat the top leads used these days. But all the leads mentioned by me ARE beaten by Gyara. +1 speed is nothing to jump for joy for in this speed driven metagame which Scizor rules (how i hate it >_<) with his CB BP. Taunt doesnt allow SR to go up which is the main purpose of this Gyara. Its as good as Gliscor as a lead. Hippo and Tar are only used for instant Sand on sand teams or to break the sash of non sand resist leads. Swampy has all that yes but cant use any of it after a taunt now cant it? It cant hurt Gyara with anything except Stone Edge which lead Swampys dont carry. Ice punch wont even hurt this bulky boy. Tar may still not be able to Ohko this much bulk after that Atk drop while Gyara will just 2 maybe 3hko. Wouldnt you agree that roost is THE best thing that ever happened to skarmory....i mean after the truck load of physical attackers dumped in OU, wouldnt Resttalk be obsolete? A skarmory without roost is like a..... a..... an Electric type without an electric move! I mean some Metagross might not carry MM but all skarms SHOULD carry roost. I just said this cause Heatran is a special attacker and a scary one at that..... and on that blissey unfortunately cant hurt or paralyse when it has a sub. I meant to not take away Wish protect but rather Toxic or Flamethrower cause ive already said how dangerous Subtran is and only blissey can take several hits from it.......this i speak from personal experience as a battler after defeating countless mindless, smogonite drones...... and btw YES EP can make a difference with Sub and blissey without ST. The SD drops will finish you off. Ive been in 2 predicaments like that one and owe the one i won to ST cause no other poke on my team beat Heatran.......though if Trans not a problem for a trainer at all then ST isnt needed, thats why i dont use it everytime. The time where i didnt use ST and lost was when i faced Zarian in an epic match and were down to Blissey and his Special Luke with Psychic for that same 10% sp def drop. My attack moves were out and he kept hitting me with Psychic and then Aura Sphere till he got 2 sp def drops on me and finished me off.......of course that was a long time ago on OS back when i was a bit of a noob.:redface: I meant its useless in this case, and yes no one uses specs any longer, due to pursuit pokemon and bliss which can easily stop a sweep from even starting. Mostly LO is used and Scarf is unsuspecting and gives you a good revenge kill when your opponent thinks you made the wrong move. LOL you point out my single opinion to be wrong, while SD Zor is still widely used. Gengar cant switch in on any move that CB Scizor uses except a fighting move which is used only occasionaly at the end of the match. Even U turn ,which just allows Zor to switch out, does 35% with CB even though its resisted 4x. Night slash and pursuit kills it as well. CB Zor is not a sweeper but a powerful hit and run poke whereas SD Zor is the Bloody Assasin which will kill any Gengar without a sash. HP Fire is pointless no matter what. Sally on the other hand doesnt care what type of Zor it is and can switch in on anything but a CB BP (cause that would just 2hko) and force Zor out or kill it for sure with Flamethrower. You seem to not know that both Tran and Tar survive HP Fight with ease even if Gar is LO. A bulky Tar can survive a LO focus blast. On top of that ive said that Alakazam should use FB instead and Gar should run Energy ball. And another thing..... i never said i love Focus blast and hate fire blast. lol good i didnt put both as short forms. I never use Gengar or Zam as sweeperzs for the very reason that focusB has 70% accuracy. But you cant deny that it gives Gar 2 moves having 120 base power and perfect type coverage. Ive stated that i dont recommend it but its an important investment. Non DD Tar is not as huge a threat as DD ones and Sally can ko them if Gar fails. WHEREAS Luke and Zor only need one mistake and can annihilate your entire team. That single miss from Fire blast is worth much more than missing with focus blast. Even Forry can do loads of damage to you with Gyro Ball if FB misses and you have +1 spd......and dont even get me started on metagross.....it would atleast die for sure if at 70~80% health rather than being untouched and finishing off sally. Heat wave is the same thing and is even more redundant really...... why wouldnt i use something with 10% more accuracy and only 5 points less power than the other way around? Heat wave was a help to Zapdos, but when Flamethrower is on offer, one would be crazy to use Heat wave instead:tongue:

I dont know why you people are having an argument over this.....its almost like picking a fight. Honestly ive been using Serebii for 3 years, since the time i started playing Emerald and its been extremely helpful to me. I learned about EVs, IVs and many abilities from there and ive always trusted it. The information is quite straight forward and many people new to this game can get loads of help there. PP is a fairly new site and though we are very accurate in our Info it doesnt mean we flip off other sites. Serebii has extremely detailed stuff about pokemon and item locations. Though on a lighter note id like to say Serebii that in Platinum the Iron ball item is found in Stark Mountain and not on Iron Island or Iron Mountain as you have put it. I searched for it in the Island for 15 minutes, lol, just cause i liked collecting all these one time Items. I later went through a random guide and found out that the Ball was in Stark Mountain. I play on the No$gba so the Underground doesnt work as you know and we cant get the Ball or any other extra goodies. And cause i dont use the DS im not much concerned about dates of Events, but you admit that you will fix it which doesnt make room for any dispute. Im not taking any sides, im just saying theres no reason to debate. I mean theres Psypokes as well you know and though its not as popular ive been using that and Serebii for my info. It is good as well. Unfortunately i just became more of a Forum person recently so excuse me for being so blunt or straight. I just got tired of battling. Dont think that if i like your site so much, why havent i registered on the forums Serebii lol. I'll do that as well, in time. PP i believe overall is THE best forum, and site even, cause theres not only info about competitive battling but also about ingame help which makes it very unique, that on top of having its own server and ladder! So Serebii.Net still rocks but its GO GO PP as this site keeps gettin better and better.:biggrin:

No Problem.

Um guys..... you seem to be forgetting he has a frightening Luke and Zor weakness.:\ They are used twice as much as Skarm and from experience i know Fire blast is a huge let down. As well as considering that both can 2hko Sally with high priority attacks if the FB misses which will cost you the game. If you have to put some EVs in spe atk for that ohko on skarm then go ahead cause it doesnt make too much of a difference for its atk stat. In case you wanna have more spe atk and not that speed boost you can go for a Rash nature as well (+SAtk, -Sdef) Metagross can still be handled by skarm and then finished off with Salamence. Meta cant hurt skarm much (unfortunately) without HP fire which is pretty useless sometimes. Another thing i noticed was that you have nothing to counter a Swampert. They are very hard to take down believe me. I always carry atleast one grass type attack to finish them off before they do their thing. You could put HP grass or anything else of the grass type on your other special sweeper. About P-Z....i dont know if it'll work on this team.... i mean it will be serving no purpose here.... even a Gallade with Leaf Blade can take out swampert :wink: i really dont know what to recommend you.... cus this metagame is physically oriented and has few special sweepers. You could try Azelf with Grass knot but it has the same potential as Gengar....i think if you used an Alakazam with Focus Blast to stop DD Tyranitars it would work very nicely. Zams can still out speed Tars even after their DD. If you go with Zam then remove focus blast from Gengar and give it Energy Ball for Swampy and rhyperior, as with levitate Gar can switch in unscathed unlike Zam who WILL get pwned. I think you should use this set for Zammy Alakazam Item- Life Orb or Specs Ability-Synchronize EVs-252 SAtk/252 Spd/HP 6 Timid Nature Psychic Focus Blast Signal Beam/Encore Calm Mind (if LO)/Shadow Ball/Trick (if speced) Tar after DD only gets 365 Speed which is good but only good enough to outspeed base 115 spd stat pokes so others like Dugtrio, Weavile and Zam will still out speed it and get a free switch in on that DD. Other than beating Tar Zam is a frightning sweeper after even a single CM. Signal beam will destroy cele and still hurt Latias well. You could Trick your Specs to some wall and if your low on health just use Encore as you die which will give others a free switch in to set up or blissey to Poison. Psychic will sweep and ohko most of the things that dont resist it. LOL that was a LOT! I couldnt put all this the first time cause i was super sleepy but im glad i added this. This completes my opinion of your team and guess what?! Your team handles almost every pokemon there is in OU. Good luck and Happy battling :biggrin:

Hello there, i just saw this team and i think its just flawed a little. You can actually make it work if you really like it. OK gyara was one of the top 3 best leads but it has been replaced since a long time and is not even in the top 5 as of yet.As randomspot adequately puts it faster taunt leads will ruin you, scarf leads, meta leads and Aerodactyls will just destroy you. Cant say much though cause this IS a lead Gyara and it can still do a good job of defeating Heatran, Ninjask, Hippowdon, Swampert and Tyranitar leads. Well as you can see a high level team doesnt need to have an attack on skarm really. Its main job is to stall out and phaze and die.Lets face facts, its not gonna beat the last poke to win you your game most of the time. So another hazard can actually do well and it gets many opportunities to switch in. Shed Shell is most certainly a better item as i myself have trapped numerous Skarms with my Magnezone and finished them off before they can even spike, so escaping Maggy is a big deal as they are common now and roost already heals you. OK the Bliss in my opinion is ok with Toxic and Flamethrower as it takes out the Steel switch in, mostly Scizor with the fire attack and is only walled by Heatran. Though if you ask me id say you should use Seismic toss somewhere on bliss cause Substitute Heatran is a real pain. Salamence can not stop it and as your Gyara is a lead and might die quickly nothing can fend it off.The most Blissey can do is PP stall it out of fire attacks but Special defense drops from Earth Power will finish you off eventually. Cress is seriously of no use here... you already have the Skarmbliss combo you could do better with another sweeper which isnt frail or weak to SR. Calm mind and Charge beam is stupid of course and the omnipresent sand stream will shut down this set entirely.Frankly id say just dont use Cress, think of a sweeper that would help you. Salamence is truly a fearsome sweeper and can sweep whole teams unprepared for it. A naive nature doesnt reduce you special attack and Flamethrower is the move to go with rather than Fire fang or even Blast simply because of the rather Disturbing Lucario and Scizor weaknesses you have. They are 2 of the most used and deadly physical sweepers out there and finishing them off quickly is the smart thing to do.Flamethrower will kill them off for sure cause Fire blast might miss and cost you the game.Intimidate helps take those +2 (+1 after switching of course) high priority attacks and this is where the naive nature comes in as your Defense stat remains intact. I saw this and i though whats the problem with it? and then i saw the Specs..... you see specs is useless on Gar now. But this Gar with Scarf will make an excellent revenge killer. It WILL take out Salamence, Gyara and Tar after a Dragon Dance.Still OHKO offensive Latias without a Calm mind and finish off any kind of Starmie other than a Scarf version.HP Fire is absolutely redundant on a Poke as frail as Gar....i mean Scizor will really Swords dance on your face wont it randomspot? no offense.... while you kill it with your Fire attack? Most Zors are CB and will OHKO Gar with Bullet punch with incredible ease. Trick might do the trick but Focus Blast is unfortuantely (as i dont use it and normally wouldnt recommend it) the better investment as nothing can really take out Tyranitar with ease, especially after it gets a dragon dance up.Scarf Heatran will also go down to it. That about sums it up ~GC~. For that Cress spot if you dont want a sweeper you could use a thunder wave Pokemon. It will help you against some sweepers that boost speed unexpectedly. This will make your team much more balanced and its still all those pokes YOU put together other than cress of course.:wink: This is not a disapproval of what randomspot says but only my opinion on your team and that with some changes and proper usage it can still work. Fairly well actually :smile:
