    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Yeah, and the role thing would be even more complicated if pokemon could perform multiple roles, like Dragonite, since it has heal bell. Again, it's up to you.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Yeah, even despite that low special defence, she does surprisingly well in OU (alomomola). Despite Haxorus' beast ness, after 2 DD's and an Outrage, she lived. <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/unsure.png" alt=":/" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/unsure@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /> huh.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

     

  3. <p><p><p><p><p><p>You're right about that. However, if the work includes writing an essay about something I can sort of think about on my own, it's more fun than annoying! I call Alomomola notorious because it's not the evo of Luvdisc, but you're right, the "broken" ones are Excadrill and Reuniclus. Just to note, Alomomola can actually do some justice to Excadrill, but caution still is advised... And Reuniclus, I herd u liek Volcarona.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

  4. Lol accidentally voted before I... well, read... I suck... And I shouldn't be here! GASP but outta curiosity Other: Quirky I choose most, if not all, pokemon based on looks, preferably the ones that are supposed to be more fierce or "quirky", some examples being Kabutops and Durant. I tend to like pokemon that are a tad bit more brutal as opposed to complete softies like Togekiss. Kabutops is mean. I don't use a pokemon simply because it fits the bill.

  6. Woah, another fifth gen! Ask me if you want me to stop doing them, but I experimented with Alomomola and found some.... interesting results. Besides, when new things come around, I tend to experiment with them, so that's sorta why I'm doing them a lot. Anyways, here's my newest contribution: #594 Alomomola Type: Water Abilities: Healer / Hydration / Regenerator (Dream world) Base stats: 165/75/80/40/45/65 Difficulty: Hard Check this out! Alomomola is NOT the evolution to luvdisc! That's incredibly tragic, because it looks pretty much exactly the same. Before B/W, there was quite some uproar about how she isn't a evolve form. Despite that though, why would you want to use this thing? It's another boring bulky water, or is it? Looks can be quite deceiving. Alomomola is what most water types are: bulky and probably somewhat sluggish. Well, we've already got Slowbro as a physical bulk, it's a troll with regenerator, and boats an immediate recovery move! Well, if you want something different, Alomomola can fit the bill. How so? Well, first off, take a look at that gargantuan HP stat. Combine that with a respectable defence, patch it up a little with Impish nature and some EV's, and you got a formidable physical wall already. While nothing truly new or mind blowing, Alomomola is actually a really good physical wall, providing a check to even some OU pokes, despite not being in that tier. With wish, she not only can heal her teammates, which Slowbro can't do, but heal herself at the same time. Also, being a pure water type also gives her much less weaknesses, being weak to two types. This is good, although she lacks resistances as well. She takes hits incredibly well and can even survive a +1 DD Dragonite with outrage quite well. Her main goal is simple; take hits, stall her opponent to death. If her teammates are hurt, wish them to full health. Her abilities outside of dream world are meh unless given the right support, but her DW ability is awesome. Regenerator? I so wish that was a default ability, she'd be taking hits and laugh at that Conkeldurr that thinks he can take her on. Despite being a GOOD under used addition to the metagame, she does suffer from drawbacks, hindering her OU usage. Yes, she can counter physical pokemon quite well, she can work against rain dance teams to an extent, and she's got the tools of the trade for supporting, but generally, she lacks any form to fight back. Despite that base 165/80 bulk, her terrible 40 base special defence is a big sore spot that even Slowbro handles better. As much as she can check the likes of Dragonite, at the same time she'll suffer from a now and then special set up (dragonite with thunder), and the only true way for her to counter it is to poison it, but if it has heal bell, well, good riddance. Her special attack is also lacking at 45, and her base 75 attack isn't really anything special. She can function pretty well in most tiers including OU, but she needs support from her teammates to do well. Almost any special attacker with STAB or high power will leave her taking only two hits at best. She can barely even touch her enemies with her pitiful offensive stats and movepool, and although that's not her objective, the likes of Slowbro can be offensive, while she can't do much at all. In order for her to heal up, she'll need to take a turn with Wish, which can occasionally result in her demise. Hey, what if you gave her Mirror coat? Well, given her terrible special defence, she will likely not survive a special attack. To counter her weaknesses, Chansey and Blissey are great as Alomomola can counter their weaknesses to physical attacks. Ferrothorn is good too, but if you want to use her in UU/NU, Slowbro and Cofagrigus are also great. If you just want a physical bulky water, Alomomola is a unique choice more or less, but it has to be used properly to be effective. Pair her up with a pokemon that can take special hits and you got yourself a good combination. Notable Moves: Wish, Healing Pulse, Healing Wish, Aqua Ring, Soak, Rest, Safeguard, Rain Dance, Light Screen, Attract, Waterfall, Toxic, Pain Split Useful Items: leftovers, Sitrus Berry, Lum Berry, Light Clay Counters: Tentacruel, Ferrothorn, Raikou, Suicune, Skarmory, Starmie, Jellicent, Whimsicott, Sceptile, Serperior, Venesaur, Dragonite, Magnezone, Vaporeon, Jolteon, Roserade, Bronzong, Zapdos

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Yeah, school's getting busier for me as well... I may not have exams, but tests and the like are coming every so often. Sometimes I wish I was busy lol.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

  9. #430 Honchkrow Type: Dark/Flying Abilities: Insomnia / Super Luck / Moxie (Dream world) Base stats: 100/125/52/105/52/71 Difficulty: Intermediate Honchkrow's a boss, and back in gen 4, it was a scary new customer. It was a well deserved evolution to Murkrow, and abused the special/physical split. As a Gen 4 pokemon, it gained things like Brave Bird, Sucker Punch, and could learn some nice special attacks. However, in Gen 5, it's use has dwindled a little due to it's predictability and terrible 52/52 defences. It's got subpar speed, so it can easily be revenged. Honchkrow is good at one thing. Hitting hard. It can do this in two ways, one being a common physical attacker with a ridiculously strong Brave Bird/Sucker Punch combo with filler, or a uncommon special attacker. Having 125 attack is nothing to be trifled with; it still hurts a lot, and with Brave Bird, it will take a huge chunk of those who can't resist it or take the hit. Sucker Punch allows those who want to revenge him be able to hit back with good power. It can also surprise those who think they can wall it with a physical wall (steelix for example) end up being hit hard by Heat Wave. It can run mixed or not, and it will still do a lot. Pursuit is excellent since it gets stab and it will end up taking a huge chunk of the target before it switches. Super Power is for those pesky steels and rocks if they are hurt, and it's stab is really, really strong. It's also pretty good at using Subs and then hitting back with it's stab. It makes a good partner with fighters who are weak to psychic, and good for electric types for their ground weakness. Insomnia is good for Roserades who try to put your team to sleep, or just anything really. Super Luck has seen more use though, due to the extra crit chance. Who doesn't love hax when it's on your side? (Okay, maybe not every one does). It's also got Moxie, which is really good, and boosts his attack after a KO. In my opinion though, if you are using a scarfed set, chances are you will have to run after you take one down. This may come in handy for sub users though. If you need a physical beast, Honchkrow might fit the bill. Honchkrow, while very deadly, has some issues, like all pokemon. First and foremost, even despite having base HP of 100, it will still get OHKOed quite easily. It can resist attacks like Psychics or Ground, but that's its main defensive niche. Other than that, 52/52 is really bad, and it'll be taken down by a good STAB or super effective with relative ease. Mamoswine can take a physical hit and Ice shard it down, while Rhyperior can take any Physical hit, really. If it's scarfed, which is commonplace to get rid of the speed problem, only will have one move, and it can become setup fodder if it tries to use a failed Sucker Punch. Anything that can take a hit and hit it back can easily KO it. Skarmory can simply stand there and barely get a scratch, unless of course it has heat wave,which will still 2HKO. Speaking of which, Honchkrow's special movepool is rather limited in comparison, so tough guys like Snorlax can come in if it doesn't pack physical moves. Omastar can do justice too. Scizor can bullet punch it, but watch out for Heat Wave on the switch in. All in all, to counter it, figure out what set it has, and act accordingly. Useful Items: Focus Sash, Life Orb, Leftovers, lum berry, choice scarf, Choice Band, dark gem, Notable Moves: Brave Bird, Sucker Punch, Pursuit, Night slash, Drill Peck, Super Power, Roost, Substitute, Nasty Plot, Dark Pulse, Heat Wave, Psychic, Foul Play Counters: Steelix, Skarmory, Scizor, Machamp, Conkeldurr, Omastar, Rhyperior, Mamoswine, Donphan, Swampert, Blissey, Chansey

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Yeah, I'm a bit... Sketched out right now because.... An unwelcome visitor may be coming to my house so I may feel a bit uneasy....</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Anywho, I'm in quantam, let me know if you are there and if not, I'll go to a different server. </p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>And, the reason being is the style. It's a bit bias I know, but it's because I'm just not attached to a lot of them. For instance, I really, really like Donphan (favourite ground type eva). Also to note that I just find it cutesy, a lot of them just look very happy and I am okay with that, but some that should look fierce, don't really. It's bias I know, but I just am not a huge fan of them. Skarmory, Donphan, Scizor, Heracross, Feraligatr, Typhlosion, and the legendaries are all cool though.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Eh, Honchkrow has always been one of my favourite Pokemon, but it is competing with Mandibuzz now, lol. Anywayz, we can go on now, since my computer reset, I'm just adjusting my team a little. I have no problem with prediction - as long as it is not always the last pokemon left and can't do crap to anything. I actually got me a win when I had Manectric and Honchkrow, and my opponent had four, and he dealt some good damage. He wasn't the cause of my victory, but still performed gut.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>yeah, I used to like Quagsire, but eh.... It's not bad, and I don't dislike it, I just don't truly care for it. I guess you could say 2nd gen is my "least favourite gen" but I do still like some designs. I might make Togekiss more bulky, since she often fights pokes that are either faster or slower.... Mostly slower.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Alright, I'll be on PO. Just tell me what server you'll be at. I'll be known as Lorshinator now.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Hahah, sorry for being absent. My computer broke down and it needed to be re-formatted, so I gotta download stuff again...</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>I'm not a huge fan of Quagsire... Although it may seem dumb, I want to use a Pokemon that I actually like, not ones simply in there because they perform well. However, I may resort to something else. I really liek Honchkrow, but I will battle test it and see how it will function on my team. So far, so good... It is immune to two things that are deadly to some of my sweepers, ground and psychic, and is pretty strong. May not be the most durable, but I digress.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>I do agree with the concept part. For example, I like Krookodile's concept... Dark/Ground crocodile? Awesome! But I was disappointed with how it turned out, I like it's baby form the most. Same goes with Beartic. There are quite a number to mention.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>P.S: Lol about the sponsored article.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Yeah, I'll probably be on Pokemon online later, so we can do that then.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>My only issue with OU swampert is the fact it's OU. I can't use it in UU. >.> I'm having some problems replacing Rhyperior on my current primary team and wanted to use Swampert but it's OU so blargh.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>I know, but I really like Gigalith's design more than Golem's, but that doesn't matter. It's funny because the starters appearance is radically different from each other (gen V) but some of the pokes don't... Stuff. One of my friends dislikes pokemon that look too complicated, whereas I like a pokemon if it looks good or if the concept catches my eye. </p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Yeah, Empoleon is pretty cool. I'm sad that because of the darn tiers I can't have a Swampert on a UU team. >.></p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>With the history, start wherever you want.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

     

  14.  

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Alright. Fill me in on teh History! I liek.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>I don't mind learning about other cultures, it's actually more interesting if I did learn about others. I did ask myself how Germany was made, so as long as it takes, I'd like to know.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

     

  15.  

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Yeah, I really, really don't like it when a pokemon has a good design and stats, but a crappy movepool. Even in light of that, Empoleon was OU for a time if I'm not mistaken. </p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>HMMM... I can't really say I entirely disagree with you, although I was mainly referring to just the designs themselves. It's that the sprites are "animated" that they are more pixilated... I honestly did like HG/SS for sprites, thought they looked really cool. To me, Conkeldurr and that Garbage bag are the most notorious for looking stupid... Even though some love both. Oh well, that's my opinion.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Also I'm mad that Swampert is OU... >.></p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>You can show me a picture whenever you want or whenever you can, more like.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

     

  16.  

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>I think Sceptile is considered worse due to the lack of a secondary type or it's movepool. Blissey VS Blissey... That would take forever.... More so than I could handle.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>I don't really like to say that the Pokemon "don't look like Pokemon", because I just see it as an art style change. Everything goes through such a thing, so naturally the Pokemon wouldn't look like the older ones as a result. On top of that, Ken Sugimori is no longer the only designer of the new monz, so we will expect more variety. Whether that is a good or bad thing is up to you. I see it as both.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>I'll be on PO later.... Once Homework is outta the wayz.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

     

  17.  

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Yes, Sceptile is a bad ass pokemon. 'Tis very cool, but plagued by a lesser movepool. Perfectly fine stats, wrong movepool. I agree with you entire opinion. I remember having a 50 turn match with one guy and it was full of switching and prediction. On top of him having an original team, it was incredibly tight. I lost because Blaze kick missed once. >.> Still really fun. We encountered each other again and he was just like, "I don't want to battle you again. Still tired from our match" so it was super lulz. The longest match I had was 124 turns of Cofagrigus walling Snorlax until it struggled to death. It was pretty funny.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Yeah, unfortunately, pokemon is a company that needs to make money. I'd rather support them though over the likes of Call of Duty and the like.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>I can't go on now, lol. Gotta get going to school, tomorrow, sadly. I'll let you know when I'm available though. Peace, was cool chattin'.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

     

  18.  

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Yeah, I like some Pokes too, but I just feel like some just severely outclass others, as you already know. Yeah, a patch is asking for a little TOO much I suppose. Durant is one of those Pokemanz that I really like and can use well, whereas some others like Sceptile are quite more limited. That's just me though. I'm sure someone's going to run up to me saying it's awesome. >.></p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>When it comes to generation, I can live with the designs, but it's like... Too much strength. It's sad that people just play to win, it makes it less enjoyable. Winning is nice, but it's not everything.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Yeah, "progressing" isn't really much at all... It's as if passion for media, like movies, games, etc, is being thrown away, and it makes me sad. Milking money is what's important now! </p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>With history, I'm listening... I would like to know how Germany was formed. I also need some tips on pokemon to choose for mah team if that's okay.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

     

  19.  

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>If they keep going overboard and making monstrously strong pokes, well, Pokemon won't last too long. They could almost patch the game upon Gen VI to boost some pokes stats, abilities, or movepools, so that they are more or less powerful. My friend's favourite ground type is Excadrill, I wonder why? <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/unsure.png" alt=":/" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/unsure@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /> That's why I prefer Hitmonlee over Mienshao, because I like it more and it's still effective. It's weird though because the starters aren't that great (DW serperior is an exception) and the new pokes are really strong. </p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Yeah, I do like older films, they put a smile on my face. Most stuff nowadays is crap, and I don't like it. >.> Hopefully they improve on that. I don't know if you like Disney or Studio Ghibli but... Eh.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>You could tell me some more historical stuff. I'm curious to know if you know stuff about Germany.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

     

  20.  

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Yeah, so I hope Gen 6 (if it comes around, which it probably will), I hope that they make pokemon more oriented on design than competitive battling. Don't get me wrong, I like a fair number of them for design, such as Durant (it's an armored ant... I liek), I like Eelektross, Volcarona, you know... I could go on. The pokemon I HATE THOUGH. (Angar level rising, points at Conkeldurr), I just hate Conkeldurr. It can die in a fire. I don't mean they shouldn't make pokemon that aren't good, just don't give a pokemon 148 sp. attack with 99 speed and levitate or something stupid like that I dunno... They just need to try and balance it more and have more options instead of "DERR I'm going to choose Conkeldurr over Machamp!" Another one says, "Do you like it more in appearance?" "No".</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Yes, I have heard of American Tail, in fact, I watched it when I was younger. I like the more classical disney movies (I know it's not disney), a lot of comedic movies oriented around my age group just... suck.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

     

  21.  

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Well, I didn't phrase it properly, but what I meant was that everybody uses the same Pokemon in every tier because they are more effective than others or are more practical (common place) and as such, every team in UU I see has either Roserade, Donphan, Slowbro, Milotic, Victini, or Arcanine. I'm beginning to see these Pokemon far too much and I'm getting irritated by it. In OU, I can imagine the same thing. Before the dream world ban came, Conkeldurr's with Mach Punch Iron fist were flying all over the place and I just couldn't stand it... I hope the next generation doesn't go as crazy with pokemon stats as this one... Or else bad things will occur.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>I thought the song you were listening to was referring to something. Speaking of which, I miss teh old moviez... Where they were very chill and stuff and not overly violent, depressing, or sex oriented. I don't watch many movies because of that.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

     

  22.  

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Yeah, I mainly do breeding not only to get stuff in the games and to battle people more locally, my friend does the same thing, except he is far more lucky with IV's and stuff. BTW, I'd take your offer, but the sad thing is, my DS doesn't have Wi-fi. <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/laugh.png" alt="xD" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/laugh@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /></p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>It sucks.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>To me, every tier is summed up using a few pokemon, not having a whole variety. Even though there are far more UU, people only use the like, and it's... getting annoying. I rarely battle people who use something less practical and when I do it's either I get pwned or the other way around. In OU, it's kinda the same thing... I guess that's what i liked about Wifi random, the encounters always got different... I supposed I liked that more.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>BTW I think I'm messing something from your reference.... <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/unsure.png" alt=":/" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/unsure@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /></p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Tis annoyin'. I even asked if I could move up and they said no. >.></p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Law is..... Law. I can't really say I enjoy it, but that's sort of obvious. It's like saying everyone should enjoy politics, both of which are similar.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>It's called Essentials math. Technically, it's the lowest form of math and it's very easy. We learn everything (or most of everything) that the others, applied and academic, learn, but it's very easy, to the point I get 90's average without even trying. I can't move up when I asked to because they say if I want an applied credit I'd have to take summer school. However, if I were in applied and got that mark, they'd let me move up to Academic. I was put in without my consent.</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>In history, we're not learning much... Yet. We will learn about cultures and other things, like Japan, Egypt, whatever. It's going to be cool, except for Law, which.... Law isn't fun to learn, just kinda required. </p></p></p></p></p></p>

  25. Here's another *gasp* fifth gen. I feel kinda dumb for doing mostly fifth, so it'll be the last one for fifth unless asked otherwise... If no one did them, I would do Cacturne, BUT, it doesn't matter if they do, so yeah. I'll also be adding LESS thanks to being in school, but that's not a problem, I probably contribute a little TOO much... but I digress. Here's the counterpart to Throh, Sawk. I kinda wanted to do this one for a little while, so that's why I'm doing it. If I didn't do a good job, then... You have every right to ignore itz. Hope everyone is doing jolly good. #539: Sawk Type: Fighting Abilities: Sturdy / Inner Focus / Mold Breaker (Dream world) Base stats: 75/125/75/30/75/85 Difficulty: Intermediate When I saw Sawk, I immediately thought he was better than Throh. He has sturdy which is actually really cool, he looks better, and he's fast, and not a nerfed Conkeldurr (or so I thought). However... When I looked at Sawk, he has fine stats, but other than the ability, he isn't set apart from other fighters. Unlike Throh, Sawk lacks a unique move that makes him different from other fighters. Instead, we get another fast (kinda, 85 speed is faster than some) hard hitting fighting type with solid defences... and I say solid for a reason. Well, what's good about Sawk? Well, first thing that comes to mind is sturdy. Interesting, he won't be OHKOed at all thanks to that, which is great for setting up or revenge killing, unless spikes or something chip off some HP beforehand. Sawk's got good attack power which shouldn't be under estimated. It's equivalent to Mienshao, although Mienshao is much faster... Meh. Sawk's got more bulkish ness. Also, for some reason, gamefreak decided not to give him swords dance but left him with bulk up. A lot of fighters do a better job with this move, such as Throh, Conkeldurr, Hariyama, Machamp... Sort off, I guess... Yeah. So, What's Sawk good at again? Well, he's got sturdy, good attack, and above average speed. He's got access to edgequake, and that's all fine and dandy. One good think to point out is that he makes better use of Reversal than his brother counterpart, since combined with sturdy clocks a move with 200 base power, which is pretty dang high, and he'll get that very often with it. He's got close combat which is nice if you want to run with high HP, and due to sturdy he can suffer from a decrease every know and then. Counter also works with sturdy, so that's nice too. Sawk is your typical faster fighter, hits hard, comes back, hits hard later, but with a free sash thrown in (technically due to sturdy). Taunt is great for those who want to set up, usually with spikes or whatnot, and prevents foes from getting tougher than him. He can be paired with a band or scarf thanks to that awesome ability, despite his counters may be many. However, he's got less of a punch than Throh, and I say this because there are other fighters, particularly Hitmonlee, that do the same thing (close combat, he's faster, limber, movepool, etc). Inner focus is obviously meh... Sturdy is awesome. He doesn't have storm throw, which means defence raisers will be happy to do that... No cross chop? Why? Oh well, that move isn't required anyway. He's fairly easy to counter, he doesn't even have access to U-turn for constant switching. To do this, Weezing is very good, because he'll say howdy and burn him, or just hit him hard, resisting his attacks well unless he is boosted by bulk up or if he has mold breaker. Slowbro is another mention, since... He obviously will wall him no matter what. Skarmory will just laugh at him, and Claydoll will just look at him funny... He's nothing to become afraid off if you got the team. Still, that 125 base attack will take a chunk off, and if used right, sturdy + reversal combined with a substitute could leave a nasty mark on the foes team if they don't have the right pokes for the job. I'm not saying Sawk sucks, I'm saying that there are other fighting sweepers that can get the job done even in UU.
