Official Pokemon Thread ver 3.0: PokeMMO: The Future Of Pokemon? (B/W 2 OUT NOW!)

Tornadus Therian has a blistering 121 base speed, which means if you want to revenge it, you NEED a Scarfer. It still has extremely respectable SpA, which allows him to spam STAB Hurricanes like no one’s business in the Rain. Oh, and it has Regenerator which makes it even more annoying to deal with.

Thunderus Therian has a ridiculous 145 SpA, along with very respectable 101 Base Speed. Taking things like a STAB Tbolt/Thunder from it is not very fun in the least. It knows Nasty Plot to boost that further. Add the fact that it has Volt Absorb which makes it easier for it to switch in, and you have a monster in the making.

Landorus Therian…meh, he’s lacking. Pretty much the only niche he fills over Incarnate Landorus is being a better defensive pivot.

So thanks to the hollows in BW2, a lot of Pokemon have gotten their dream world forms… Which means I can finally run Tech Breloom on Wifi!

It seems like GameFreak realized Shadow Tag Chandelure might be just a TAD bit overpowering and is stalling on its release though.

WOW can’t beleive SRK has a pkmn thread. I’m gonna post on here more and post my current team and let it get critiqued.

I finally made a viable team based around Shedinja… Team Trick…

The whole idea behind this team is to cripple your opponents with the wrong items…

Throw a choice item on your opponent, then switch out…

Interesting, I don’t think anything can beat that uber magikarp video tho…

Is that guy tweeking or something? The way he’s talking so freakin fast is weird. Plus the edited bleach logo + typical FF7 + whipped kinda explains it all. :lol:

How have you been handling scizor?

Have you tried Pokemon Showdown yet? They made a recharge move for Magikarp in random battles that’s a 120 BP physical water attack that drains HP, lowers the opponent’s stats, confuses, and gives Magikarp Aqua Ring and Magic Coat.

Stat adjustments and new abilities. The pure flying type, Tornadus, is considered the best actually. Regenerator is a huge boost for it and the base 121 speed means that it can just u-turn away for most threats and regenerate damage from u-turn and Life Orb. The loss of special attack is kind of unfortunate, though since it misses out on some Life Orb OHKOs and 2HKOs that it had before. Tornadus T gains some much needed longevity in exchange for slightly weaker attacks and emergency Tailwinds and Rain Dances that it didn’t even need to use often.

Thundurus T is basically a slower, but stronger version of Thundurus without priority T Wave. There’s still no counter to the Nasty Plot set, but he’s easier to revenge kill and outsped by quite a few things now. That said, I kind of expect him to be banned like regular Thundurus was. He’s extremely powerful both on and against Rain teams.

Landorus T seems to be the least used of the 3. It’s slower than normal Landorus, but it has more attack. More attack, however doesn’t necessarily equate to more damage as normal Landorus hits harder in the Sand because of its ability. In addition, going from a trolly base 101 speed to a mediocre base 91 speed means that Landorus T usually plays a more defensive role. He’s a great switch in to Scizor thanks to Intimidate and can U-turn himself, so he’s finding a niche in a counter-volt/turn strategy.

^ lol that team rapes Scizor for free…

None of Scizors moves hit through Wonder Guard…

I just throw a choice item on him and he’s useless for the rest of the match…

That team is weak against sandstorm teams…

Heatran is great coverage, but I really need some thing that can change the weather to something non-volatile or get rid of it…

Everything has earthquake…

Maybe all I really need to do is hook him up with air balloon…

I’ll miss Life Orb though…

Just merked someone using Salamence plus all the other top tier pokemon…

FeelsGoodman.jpg…

Entry Hazards trouble this set too… but Donphan is the best rapid spinner in the game:sad:

I wish everyone could learn rapid spin… matter in fact I need an extra move slot…

EDIT: How the hell is Shedinja NU tier… his ability is stupid good… the 1 HP thing is this only thing that keeps him wrecking shit…

Haven’t had time to try PKMN Showdown yet, but I will once some stuff free’s up.

Stealth Rocks. Ruining Shedinja and Charizard teams since D/P/P.
(That and sand being so popular, fire and rock moves being common, and team preview ruining the suprise of having one meaning once you see it you’ll try not to get locked by it.)

It does well in Ubers though.

I guess…

Usually my opponent never tries to set up entry hazards twice…

Once I spin away his first set, he doesn’t bother anymore…

As for sandstorm…

Simply switching T-Tar out kills Shedinja instantly…

He’s trouble if he’s scarfed…

Entry hazards aren’t that big of a problem… just gotta remember that they are there…

It’s alot to keep track of…

I love this team mainly because it rapes eviolite Dusclops…

Just about every pokemon has a move that changes items…

Not really. Most Scizor are Choice Band already, and band scizor always has Pursuit.

Everybody is rocking sword dance scizor…

Without pursuit of course… that’s what happens when you use them smogon movelists… I use whatever sounds like a good move for a particular pokemon…

In any case, I have Heatran…

You said the website you are on is called Pokemon showdown?

I’ll try it and see what yall competition level is like… because I beat an Uber team with team shedinja…

Time to move on lol…

Swords Dance Scizor is played out. Way too many rain teams for it to be as effective as it once was.

We need to get some matches with people on here going or something.

I do enjoy Pokemon Showdown. Teambuilder isn’t as good as PO’s, but the battling tends to be much better (unless you run Zoroark…then you might be miffed).

The hype has died :sad: at least for wifi, online battle simulators appear to be much more convenient in these times.

Shedinja can preform wonderfully (no pun intended) in NU. He just needs a team built around him and his counters out of the way, but that in itself can prove difficult if he is forced out early.

I do agree CB Scizor is better than SD Scizor, but depending on the teams needs SD Scizor can be good. He still gets roost which provides instant healing without losing his heavy resistances. A trapper like Umbreon can work well with SD Scizor.

I’d still be rocking wifi matches, but, my new modem is not working out with my ds. D:

I would do wifi matches if I would get off my lazy ass and breed some Pokemon. Not like it takes terribly long to do that but I’ve barely tried RNGing in 5th gen.
