Focus Sash won't help you if Stealth Rocks cut off your health and constant sandstorm on non Ground/Rock/Steel Pokemon Focus Sash only works when your Pokemon is at full health... and seeing the omnipotence of Stealth Rocks and Sandstorms... those berries can be useful at times. Also, some Pokemon won't be knocked out immediately, so Focus Sash would be kind of a wasted item on it. Take Swampert for example. It is designed to take hits, so Focus Sash won't be of much help there. Now if you equip a Rindo Berry (a Grass reduction berry), Swampert will have taken the grass damage, surviving, and OHKOing, let's say, an Infernape who used that Grass Knot back with Earthquake. Now Swampert has plenty of health to spare (40%ish) and can still take physical hits. These items are dependent on which Pokemon you use. Focus Sash is for those frail Pokemon while those berries can help bulkier Pokemon survive one hit of its weakness (Metagross with Occa Berry is a common example).

Sorry for the late post... but here it is. In celebration of the new HG/SS game coming up, what's coming up should be obvious to you [sprite]249[/sprite] [shinysprite]249[/shinysprite] LUGIA PSYCHIC/FLYING HP: 106 Atk: 90 Def: 130 SpA: 90 SpDef: 154 Spe: 110 BST: 680 Advantages: - The best wall in the game statistically and therefore is able to take a lot of hits before going down - Signature move Aeroblast has a high critical hit ratio - Has quite a large movepool - Is generally easier to obtain than Ho-oh in Crystal version - Quite speedy for a wall Disadvantages: - Aeroblast isn't quite worth using - Quickly goes down to status - Has a lot of common weaknesses (but still workable) - Stealth Rocks somewhat hamper its defensive capabilities - Offensively lacking [sprite]250[/sprite] [shinysprite]250[/shinysprite] HO-OH FIRE/FLYING HP: 106 Atk: 130 Def: 90 SpA: 110 SpDef: 154 Spe: 90 BST: 680 Advantages: - Can attack from both sides of the spectrum - Is very defensive on the special side, allowing it to sponge weaker special moves and Pressure stall opponents - Its signature move Sacred Fire has 50% chance of burning its foes, crippling physical sweepers (much more worthwhile than Aeroblast) - Can Roost off to recover its damage Disadvantages: - Has a 4x weakness to Rocks, hence why Stealth Rocks cut off 50% of its health every time it switches in - Is more elusive than Lugia in Crystal version, requiring you to catch the three legendary beasts before obtaining it - Is often forgotten and is a rare sight in Ubers Vote and state your reason why. This... is difficult for me. I will post my opinion once I decide here X_X

lol so you've finally joined. What's up?

Correct Monsieur Bidoof > And Naru... maybe you have to get rid of some of your bugs... I don't know. I haven't exactly built a team yet, so I shouldn't be talking

Ugh, I've been using Mal Voisin a little TOO much when I practice with you guys, eh? And I gave her set to Naru... but at least she netted a kill. Anyhow nice battle. So you've finally got a team Fox? Naru has a HUGE Heatran weakness

If I had a DS... lol. It's out of commission now. You'd have to wait until tomorrow. Once UnderXRay comes in, he can trade you your Pokemon. You're not in a hurry, yes? I'll alert him about this

Whoa. That was a nice comeback. I never expected that... but hey. It's Yanmega... that scary beast of an insect... SOOO dangerous > Way to go RJ!

Nope... you'll have 255 EVs in both places in-tact so after you get all 510, you are free to train with whatever you want.

Happy birthday shiniesrock! Also, you guys are forgetting... these people are also one year older today: Monocle (21) Enkidu (19) kky7989 (19)

http://projectpokemon.org/forums/showthread.php?t=3654 Apparently many of us are anything but serious battlers. Eternal, the admin of TeamUber already sought us before... and for the most part, we're not participating.

I never got that either But even so... the Japanese plot was different from your 4KIDS version... something about why God didn't make him but humans did and all that. The Origin of Mewtwo somewhat explains the whole story though. Yeah Mew is kinda good too. That whole childish innocence thing.

Rasputin... that mad monk! > My goodness... I was SO SURE I was going to lose then. Your Pokemon were high health... I just kept on stalling and switching until I realized my Pokemon had really low HP EVERYWHERE. Then came that crit... what's wrong with Lady Hax? Did I do something? O_O Anyways nice battle... and wow, that Donphan is bulky!

You saw it coming... clone vs original! [sprite]150[/sprite] [shinysprite]150[/shinysprite] MEWTWO PSYCHIC HP: 106 Atk: 110 Def: 90 SpA: 154 SpDef: 90 Spe: 130 BST: 680 Advantages: - Has one of the highest Special Attack in the game - Has an amazing movepool, physical and special and support - Has 130 base speed, which is among the highest of Pokemon - No Pokemon will ever outdo what RBY Mewtwo was in terms of raw strength (and has defined the Uber tier) - Is deceptively bulky despite its sweeperish stats - One of the best special sweepers in-game - Quite unpredictable for it can take many roles - Has appeared in a couple of movies and is quite popular - Has appeared in Super Smash Bros Melee Disadvantages: - Has slightly less defenses than Mew - The special split from RBY to GSC has reduced its Special Defense GREATLY (from 154 all the way down to 90) - It is no longer the "best" (although it is REALLY powerful, but it has to share its throne with Arceus) - Is a rip off of Frieza from Dragonball Z (color scheme wise ) - It is very wild and can only think of fighting, so it can be rather belligerent - Cannot utilize STAB Psychic in its metagame (Uber) very well due to the massive presence of Psychics in there, who resist it - Its Super Smash Bros Melee counterpart is rather... weak and humiliating!! [sprite]151[/sprite] [shinysprite]151[/shinysprite] MEW PSYCHIC HP: 100 Atk: 100 Def: 100 SpA: 100 SpDef: 100 Spe: 100 BST: 600 Advantages: - Can learn ALL TMs/HMs/move tutors save Blast Burn/Frenzy Plant/Hydro Cannon/Draco Meteor (therefore making it VERY versatile. Yes it learns Attract and Captivate) - Is adored among many fans for its cuteness - Has no real disadvantages anywhere - Hasn't been shattered by the RBY - GSC Special split - Shiny form looks rather cool compared to Mewtwo's (subjective, yes) Disadvantages: - Very elusive and is therefore hard to obtain - Is outclassed by Mewtwo in Special sweeping - Is an HM mule for many people - Stats may be good but not astounding Vote and state your reason why. Ugh... okay. I pick Mewtwo because I guess I sympathized him back in the Origins of Mewtwo and the First Movie. Plus when I caught it in game, it destroyed everything with its Psychic and Blizzard (when it was 90% accurate) and Recover. Eventually at level 81 it learned Amnesia... and oh boy. That move surely put a stopped to almost EVERYTHING. Yeah so Electrode was faster... but it couldn't do anything to Mewtwo anyways aside from paralyzing it. Due to the way the critical engine worked... wow, Mewtwo was surely an amazing reward for beating the game.

I still wouldn't say Jolteon is the best one... but it is up there with Vaporeon I suppose. Volt Absorb is good because Thunder Wave wouldn't cripple it, which is one of the most used paralysis moves in this game, and Jolteon wouldn't want to be paralyzed.
