Close Combat OHKO’s all Tyranitars(Mega and non-mega) and Heatrans and Blissey’s, OHKOs a Mega Kangaskhan running full health after stealth rocks, OHKOs Magnezone even when Pinsir isn’t a mega, takes care of Lucario, and much more.

There is absolutely NO reason to run return over close combat.

Running Return over Quick Attack is an option(but the worst one) but I’d recommend being Jolly if you are going this route. Auto-dying to priority users like Donphan, Mamoswine, and friends is no bueno though, especially when switching out will cause you to lose 50% switching back in(dem stealth rocks).

Quick attack is the best option if you want to sweep with a pinsir, and I definitely think you would want to stay in. Switching out has too many consequences.

Air balloon also would prevent some issues to the set above(rooster’s), Excadrill would rock slide the shit out of you, but with close combat, you are guaranteed to OHKO a Excadrill even running max defense and health.

Also have some Adaman fletchlings with gale wings with four iv’s and a couple of timid charmander’s if anyone need some

303

304

Speaking of Pinsir, I’ve always wanted to add the disrespect factor of running Thrash lol

Yea dante but atm momment all i have is some 4 iv ones that cool?

Hey i also got a female on i want to give you just in case you wanna breed and itll make it easier to breed some with magic guard!

306

Thrash is actually no joke it does insane damage. Probably too easy to switch into though.

307

Was looking through my pc box in pokemon black, and I noticed I have a whole bunch of Phione. Do you guys want any Phione when pokebank comes out? They are breedable. They would be better if they can evolve into manaphy.

308

Lol I missed this… If you still have it could I get from you tomorrow? I’ve got to get to bed to be ready for work early.

309

Whelp I just learned how Magic Bounce works. Hurray learning experience.

310

311

Mind saving me a Fletchling, good sir.

312

YEs sir going to bed right now i can get u tomorrow after noon

313

Here’s a fun fact about the Ability Capsule: It doesn’t work on Pokemon with 3 Possible Abilities if its current ability is the Hidden one.

Because of this, I have a fully-trained Modest Lucario with Justified and no means of changing it… -_-

314

Word. Get at me. I’ll be around all day.

315

I’ll be on til about 12:30. Then I’ll be back on about an hour later.

316

Alright. I have a conference call for the next hour or two so I’ll sign on later.

317

Going through Super Double Battle at Battle Maison.

Sylveon
Charizard (X)
Delphox
Ferrothorn

All of them are fully trained, battle ready mons. Ferrothorn covers everyone else’s weaknesses minus Dark and Ghost, and everyone else covers his for the most part.

Can anyone spot any serious flaws? I lead with Charizard and Sylveon and it’s worked well so far. 10 wins in and each battle takes like 5 minutes so I don’t want to get bodied.

318

Some bullshit hax is going to happen and you’re going to lose ;_;

319

I had like 16 wins in battle maison then my whole team got outsped by a Fletchling…

320

Gonna fight to the end right now. Let’s see if I make it.
