  1. This one's gotta be interesting... [sprite]025[/sprite] [shinysprite]025[/shinysprite] PIKACHU Type: Electric HP: 35 Atk: 55 Def: 30 SpA: 50 SpDef: 50 Spe: 90 BST: 310 Advantages: - Can utilize the Light Ball, which doubles its attack and special attack power, making it stronger than Raichu - Has a larger fanbase for the most part - It's uber in the anime >.> - Learns Grass Knot to OHKO Bulky grounds - Static can be very annoying to stuff that hits it with a "contact" move Disadvantages: - Is very very frail - Can be killed by priority moves - Light Ball does not allow the equipping of other items - Is generally hated as much as it is loved - 90 base speed is somewhat fast, but sometimes not fast enough - To use Surf requires a Hardy nature [sprite]026[/sprite] [shinysprite]026[/shinysprite] RAICHU Type: Electric HP: 60 Atk: 90 Def: 55 SpA: 90 SpDef: 80 Spe: 100 BST: 475 Advantages: - Somewhat more sturdier than Pikachu - Is more versatile with the "survivability" to Encore, Nasty Plot - Generally more useful than Pikachu - Has the same attack power in both sides of the spectrum - Has an interesting movepool, such as the ability to Grass Knot to take down bulky grounds - Static can be very annoying to stuff that hits it with a "contact" move Disadvantages: - It is STILL frail (but not to the same extent as Pikachu) - It cannot utilize Light Ball - To use Surf requires a Hardy nature - In popularity Pikachu outshines it - Back in GSC it was always shown to be fat and mean looking Vote which one you like and give a reason why. I'm picking Raichu because I don't like Pikachu. Weird reason, eh?

  3. Sheddy's hardly a threat, really So many things, including Toxic/Will-o-Wisp/Stealth Rocks... there's always something that'll own it. PF... still adamant about using Roar on Floatzel? Fine... but don't blame me when something one shots that weasel before it gets a chance to use it. Remember, roar has a NEGATIVE priority, and therefore is best used by bulky Pokemon like Skarmory or Walrein. BTW be specific with what your EVs are for. And you do realize Choice Specs locks you into one move, right? That boost is welcome (Floatzel's SpA of 85 isn't bad, btw) but Roar with Specs is unproductive The thing that resists Dragon is Steel... which makes up most of the metagame. So be CAREFUL when using Outrage. Waterfall + Outrage... resisted by Empoleon and Shedinja EDIT: PF... where are your STEALTH ROCKS?! Without Stealth Rocks, sweeping will be screwed by an inevitable Focus Sasher! Yeah, Touffey is actually right. Aside from Leech Seed and Brave Bird, you have no way of dealing with Shedinja
  4. But red is the complementary of green, not purple But you'll see. Right, maybe I'll change his name to "nourriture", which is French for food
  5. Eh, I like Meganium. She's kinda cute [sprite]154[/sprite] LOL bob. Smogon = Koffing in German

  7. Original names for... ? My anonymous opponents, the warstory title, the Pokemons' nicknames... or what? :tongue:
  8. (Wraith89 v. Food) Shoddy Warstory Another warstory from the heaps and piles of logs I've recorded. It's a novelty sun team, so I just wanted to share it with you Rules: Evasion Clause, Freeze Clause, OHKO Clause, Sleep Clause Pokemon: (In order of appearance) Wraith89: Food:
  9. Please elaborate on how. Don't say Carbon Dating, because that stuff only works for a couple of thousands of years.

  11. The order aside from Crobat being lead doesn't matter, so that's a non-issue. Bronzong can be the status platform and can set up Stealth Rocks when needed (Focus Sash users are a BIG threat to rain sweepers, so you need SR to break their sashes). Plus it can use Hypnosis, set up Reflect/Light Screen or even set up Rain by himself. Oh, and he detonates when you want him to. And I am STILL contemplating. Making a rain team is VERY hard.
  12. LOL. I did NOT say that :mad: Anyways, there is a way we can keep BOTH Bronzong and Crobat, but use Crobat as a lead. I'm still contemplating, but what if... - Crobat - Ludicolo - Kingdra/Floatzel - Floatzel/Kabutops - Bronzong - Zapdos/Raikou/Jolteon We need team synergy though... so don't get your hopes up yet.
  13. I'm still thinking about it PF. There are many holes in your team, but it will take a while to fix. But we can do this without Kyogre, got it? [sprite]382[/sprite] NO!
  14. If it's pwning people... then you're officially a wimp. I'm sorry to say that, but that goes for all people who use Ubers in OU (unless given consent otherwise but still). Anyhow, just use a Crobat lead... and forget about the fishy. Still insisting on using that Kyogre? Then play ubers, but don't bring that thing in OU. Make sure Crobat has U-turn though. I'd go Rain Dance, U-turn, Roost, and Brave Bird (breed with Staraptor for Brave Bird).
  15. Kyogre is a big harm. Rain + STAB + Surf/Hydro Pump = pain. Not to mention with Calm Mind that thing can sweep. 90 speed is slow for Uber tier, but in OU that's quite fast. Also in the rain his Thunder's not gonna miss, and his Ice Beam will destroy a lot of things since many things are weak to Ice. And all this coming off 150 SpA? Yes, it is quite dangerous. Water Spout Choice Scarf lead? And do I want to face that?? Especially in the rain? They're called uber for a REASON. I do not need to argue with you about what is already obvious... And all you need to do is max out Crobat's Speed and give him Jolly nature. Not sure about the rest... just dump them into attack/HP.
  16. Well, if you play with that crowd, then whatever. But most other people do NOT want to fight Ubers!! (who you did NOT see, I guess... but ask the others in this forums whether they want to fight a Kyogre or not except for ParaDoX, who is crazy because he brings babies to fight OUs/Ubers, but that's besides the point). Everytime I see an uber in Wifi, I really go "Man, this guy is so cheap!" Bottom line... even in Wifi, do NOT bring ubers unless your opponent doesn't care (confirm with him/her first...) Kingdra/Floatzel are two great mixed sweepers (or even physical/special alone) in rain... unless you would like to differentiate those two, but even then, both are sweepers, so they do kinda overlap. I'm not stopping you from using both though...
  17. Urm, I have NO idea who YOU were playing with, but Kyogre is definitely not allowed in standard battles. Magnezone is a threat because STAB 135 SpA Thunderbolts can wreak a lot of stuff... yeah. But I'm not saying Dugtrio's necessary. I'm just saying he can help you if you are considering one. CB = Choice Band. Yes, Zapdos learns Thunder by level up, albeit really late. Floatzel/Kingdra kinda overlap in roles. If you want a sweeperish Floatzel, try Rain dance, Surf, Waterfall, Ice Beam with 240 Atk/252 SpA/16 Speed (Lonely/Naughty/Mild/Rash nature). The speed is specific to hit 270 Speed, and in rain, it becomes 540 speed (of course, this is assuming max IVs in speed). I just maxed out SpA and put the rest into attack. But Floatzel will never want Roar. And if this is an in-game team, I have no reason to rate it because anything is destroyable in-game. Now if you're talking about standard metagame, then we can talk, but Kyogre has to go.
  18. Bronzong isn't really meant to be a lead, not with all these Taunters around. And no, no Kyogre. Remember, Kyogre's uber. There are PLENTY of options for rain team... Omastar/Kabutops... the special/physical fossil duo wreak havoc in rain. Ludicolo is a good one as you have... Zapdos makes a good wall/phazer and can use Thunder quite well and stall out opponents Azumarill's CB Aqua Jet in Rain HURTS Kingdra is evil in the rain > Dugtrio traps enemy Magnezone and kills it ... I can't think of any more...
  19. Yep, just them ^^ But HP Water? Bleh, I don't think HP attacks are good idea without STAB because they're usually used as a filler or to take down things with W4 to something. Too many things in OU resist water though (although there are stuff weak to it). Dark Pulse + HP Fighting is good enough. Could P-Z learn Shadow Ball? I don't see why Dark Pulse is chosen over Shadow Ball though. That combo is resisted by Hera, which WILL destroy P-Z if it isn't careful.
  20. Well, there are MANY MANY things to be said, such as using the wrong sets and all that. For a lead, I'd suggest a Crobat with Rain Dance, Roost, U-turn, Brave Bird with Jolly nature. You can hold a Damp Rock with him... and as for Bronzong, it can still be in your team, just reserved someplace else for a rain refiller or something. I'll fix it up a bit later.
  21. Azelf also is susceptible to a Taunt from Aero. Aero gets his job done effectively usually. It just fails to Metagross, which seems to be omnipresent >.> And most Meta leads carry Occa Berry anyways. But still, Azelf going boom isn't a bad idea I suppose. And I don't think I saw that Salamence weakness. Pretty nice. For those cruddy Ninjasks that always seem to ruin... maybe consider a phazer someplace, like Roar from Aero or something, idk. X_X And Tage definitely wants to hit harder. Porygon-Z isn't exactly known to be a defense machine. However, some of your sets might work Dimi. And Tage, remember, Adaptibility is the one you want for Nasty Plot sets. Otherwise, use Download.

    Nya~

    . . . So would I telos. I'd hate to see someone like me... disturbed, twisted, heartless...
  24. There's a HUGE HUGE problem with this team... which is that lead Bronzong. A lead Aerodactyl will easily Taunt your Bronzong and screw up your whole strategy. As you can see, your whole team depends on Bronzong to use Rain. You may want at least 4-6 Pokemon to have Rain Dance just in case something happens. Also, Floatzel isn't the guy to use Roar. He's very frail, and just likes to sweep. All you need is 16 Speed EVs to hit 270 Speed (assuming 31 IVs) and that gets doubled in the rain... since Floatzel's already fast enough, he might as well be a mixed sweeper, although Kingdra basically does that. Want a phazer? Get a Swampert or a Zapdos or something. Floatzel wasn't meant for that stuff Beware, your team all contains some common weaknesses. You may want some other Pokemon like Jolteon or Zapdos to complement your rain team. This is the common misconception to rain teams: all Pokemon must be water types. Not always... you can put some stuff to counter those guys that destroy Water Pokemon. A Gliscor can help you beat stuff like Tyranitar or Lucario or Infernape, so give it a try. BTW don't worry about Groudon. He won't ever be in standard battles. As for Shedinja, lol, Stealth Rocks screw it over before it gets a chance to do anything
  25. Wow, I'm just the opposite. I like Shiny Marill but Shiny Azumarill had to be yellow Maybe I just don't like the color yellow, idk.
