Swellow my awesome bird from Hoenn!

A new member! Nice to meet you, I'm Wraith the crazy person no one listens to

I'm actually going to have to agree with the other two because chronologically, it makes sense. Besides, people here won't really celebrate immediately once HG/SS comes out because usually people here are not Japanese and will wait until Spring 2010

Do you have a preview of them? Or at least a general idea how they look like? For the GS one for example, is it Ho-oh/Lugia or something? Or just colors? I think I want a general idea first

some naughty things

You play the bass? Wow, that's pretty sweet. My little brother plays the acoustic guitar, the electric guitar, and the bass. The brown one looks cool to me, but probably because I'm old fashioned and all. But the black one looks more refined and all... and it looks a lot like those electric guitars I see. I don't know really... what do you think fits you more? I don't know what's "decent" either, but I do know... it's always the functionality over its aesthetics that makes things decent, although you don't want the aesthetics score to be TOO low. I think the general consensus will like the black one better though... something just tells me that. :-/

Octillery used Octazooka! It's super effective!

Thanks, I was wondering what to do with Nidoqueen and Steelix. So Steelix functions somewhat like a Skarmory in UU so he shouldn't be lead? I see. I've always done special Victreebel before... but I just wanted to try to vary her a little bit. After all, Victreebel is my favorite plant (I think)... and so I wanted to try using her without getting outshadowed by Vileplume and Bellossom, who have the same Special Attack (at least Vileplume does) and more bulk. I think I'll try a mixed set then... go go Leaf Storm! Isn't Solarbeam 120? o_O There's a Sucker Punch tutor in Platinum (I know, Platinum has many move tutor moves!) Sucker Punch helped me against an Extremespeed Linoone after Vicky Salac'd... and might work against Kadabras and Haunters (as long as they're not sashed) Oh yeah, Leaf Blade is actually 90 base power now in DP. Back in RSE it was 70 Thanks for the rate, I'll see what I can do. Is there a HUGE weakness I should watch out for? @ Illithian: I know it sounds weird, but I want to keep it this way for me until I can test them out for a while and see how they actually function. I believe they're BL, but most of them are low BL anyways... but please, rate my team instead of my list. Those are the conditions I'm playing with for UU as for now... I just want a rating of my team, please You haven't seen Gastrodon in its full potential :-/ I don't care for you Smogonites either... why so serious? Can't I have some fun? Pokenerds -__- Some are actually debatable believe it or not... and NOT everyone knows. For me, I think Mismagius is more BL than Honchkrow is... but you don't agree. See? It's not all written in stone or anything... so stop complaining about my list for now. It says in parentheses "for now"... it is ALWAYS subject to change. Don't be so harsh and all... ='< @ Paradox: Yeah... I was debating between Hypno and Grumpig... and I don't know who to choose @_@

Introduction All right, so I somewhat got bored of OU and I want to try UU. However, as you all know, I'm terrible at making teams that can support each other and whatnot. And most of you know that I love to make teams that are good with stalling and come out on top with indirect damage. I have other Pokemon that may replace certain Pokemon and all. Without further ado, please rate my team! The Team [sprite]208[/sprite] Luster the Steelix@Leftovers Male Impish Nature Rock Head 252 HP/120 Atk/136 SpDef (yes, it's Smogon's set, other than maxing out HP, I don't know the reason for the other two) - Stealth Rock - Stone Edge - Earthquake - Explosion Steelix is my lead, and as usual, I try to set up Stealth Rocks in the field. I realize Steelix is weak on the special side and will be promptly OHKO'd by Flamethrowers or Surfs, but the leads I've met were usually physical and therefore will have a tough time taking this Iron Snake down. Once I lay out the rocks, I either start attacking with Stone Edges and Earthquakes, explode if I think his job is done, or I switch out, saving him later for another time. He's been effective for the most part, but I have to watch out for Magnet Pull Probopasses, which like to switch in, Magnet Rise so Earthquake won't affect me, and Earth Power Steelix to death while Stone Edge does pitiful damage against him. Weaknesses: Water, Fire, Ground, Fighting Resistances: Normal, Flying, Rock, Bug, Ghost, Psychic, Dark, Dragon, Steel Immunities: Poison, Electric Accomplishments: Defeated Purugly, Solrock, Gengar, and Mamoswine [sprite]097[/sprite] Tapir the Hypno@Leftovers Female Calm Nature Insomnia 252 HP/56 Def/200 SpDef - Wish - Thunder Wave - Reflect - Seismic Toss Hypno is my main special wall. With HP/Def/SpDef of 374/190/347, she's sure to take hits, and adding reflect can help her tank physical attacks too. Wish is my main method of supporting the team with an instant recovery move while Thunder Wave hurts sweepers by slowing them down to dust (my team is filled with slowpokes). Seismic Toss is there for consistency, but I do have some problems. Hypno tends to die very often from stuff like Sweeper Clamperl and whatnot and usually I'm left with very little health to use Wish with. Perhaps I'll need room for Protect? Any suggestions? Weaknesses: Bug, Ghost, Dark Resistances: Fighting, Psychic Immunities: None Accomplishments: Defeated sweeper Clamperl, Raticate [sprite]031[/sprite] Regina the Nidoqueen@Leftovers Female Impish Nature Poison Point 252 HP/96 Atk/160 Def - Toxic Spikes - Crunch - Superpower - Earthquake Nidoqueen is my main bulky ground and can do plenty of things in UU. Firstly, her movepool is so large people won't know what to expect. I went all physical, but you can make a suggestion here to go mixed or special if you want. She can also tank hits from Fighters and others, which is really needed here. If she has nothing better to do, she can Toxic Spikes if needed, although it doesn't work too well in UU. I think her role is largely redundant with Steelix, so I'll need help here :-/ Maybe I'll go with Nidoking, I'm not sure... Weaknesses: Water, Ground, Ice, Psychic Resistances: Fighting, Poison, Bug, Rock Immunities: Electric Accomplishments: Defeated Gallade, Rampardos, and Nidoking in one battle [sprite]323[/sprite] Humphrey the Camerupt@Leftovers Male Modest Nature Solid Rock 228 HP/72 SpA/208 SpDef - Yawn - HP Grass - Earth Power - Heat Wave So here is my beloved camel of doom! He's supposed to be very efficient at walling stuff, but for some reason, he loves to get critical'd by random things every single time. Here's how he works: he yawns stuff, forces them to switch or stay and fear Camerupt's powerful attacks. Heat Wave and Earth Power are his main STAB options, and HP Grass is there for coverage against Quagsires and bulky waters who think they can switch in with impunity. But even then, I'd switch him out instead. I think I have way too many Electric immunes (I get very paranoid about electric Pokemon, but then again, when do I see them other than in OU?) If you guys can think of a replacement, please say so! But this camel's too cool Weaknesses: 1.5x to Ground, and a 3x to Water! Resistances: Fire, Bug, Steel, Poison Immunities: Electric Accomplishments: Kept on dying, kept getting Critical'd... and defeated Mothim @_@ [sprite]071[/sprite] Vicky the Victreebel@Salac Berry Female Adamant Nature Chlorophyll 76 HP/252 Atk/180 Speed <--- outspeeds base 60s - Swords Dance - Return - Sucker Punch - Leaf Blade With Stealth Rocks and/or Toxic Spikes around, Victreebel shouldn't have a hard time switching into something she resists and set up Swords Dance and start sweeping. We have STAB Leaf Blade, which unlike its predecessor Sludge Bomb, it actually gets type coverage. There's Sucker Punch in case something likes to be smart and try a priority move. Return is just there for coverage, although Body Slam might work for that chance of paralysis, but I don't know if that's worth the power drop. Salac Berry works well if Victreebel is low in health... and then she can proceed to sweep. I realize her friends Vileplume and Bellossom are more bulkier and more fit for this team (not to mention they use special attacks, which my team needs more, I think)... so do you think Victreebel should stay or go? Weaknesses: Fire, Ice, Flying, Psychic Resistances: Grass, Fighting, Water, Electric Immunities: None Accomplishments: Swept Kingler, Skuntank, Lunatone, Gastrodon... and defeated Probopass [sprite]009[/sprite] Tortoise the Blastoise@Leftovers Male Bold Nature Torrent 252 HP/220 Def/36 Speed <--- outspeeds 200 speeders by 1 point - Rapid Spin - Toxic - Protect - Surf Yay my favorite starter! This guy is what makes thing so SLOOOOOWWWW. Toxic hits things not Steel or Poison types to slowly sap away their HP while Blastoise proceeds to wall them, weaken them with Surf, and Protect for a free turn of Leftovers recovery. Rapid Spin spins away those rocks, which I really need (although none of my team is particularly weak to it), but those rocks can make a difference between a 3HKO and a 2HKO. I might want to keep him in... and I have plenty of grass and electric resists/immunes in this team to back him up. Weaknesses: Electric, Grass Resistances: Steel, Fire, Water, Ice Immunities: None Accomplishments: Defeated Probopass, Drifblim, and Gastrodon If some of these Pokemon don't seem to work well in my team, please pick one of these in this list to replace them if needed. In my eyes, these are UU for now (the classical one); I refuse to use Smogon's UU right now because it's all screwed up. Milotic and Spiritomb in UU? No way! I even have NU and some popular NFEs in this team too... If anyone wants to test out UU with me or whatnot these are the ones I'm allowing for now:

Oh woops. I forgot @_@ But Aqueel, are you planning on attending a tournament?

weird looking wurmple

I do use IE... it's much better actually.
