Okay, got weevile done. I’m waiting on deck.

The_Damned:

(Hunh. My Rain team kinda sucks. Lapras seems like dead weight, especially since apparently Heal Bell is illegal with everything I want to use. Thanks for the clarity, PokemonShowdown.)

I think I’m going to screw around with a Scrappy Pangoro team since r00ster22 brought the bear up. I’m probably going to use Circle Throw in the last spot over Stone Miss and no-more-Garchomp-talk-about-it Poison Jab. Fairies won’t be a problem if they get tossed the fuck out and land on rocks repeatedly.

Syke1:

Arcanine’s base speed should be buffed to 115 at least tbh. 130 in my opinion. His signature move is Extreemespeed. Like wtf.

Besides the Dragonite thing, I’d argue that Arcanine is better known for being a surprisingly good, awesome-looking tank. So what he really needs is more reliable (read: non-weather dependent) recovery like Slack Off, though that might make him a tad too obnoxious. Don’t need to create another “must have on every team” pokemon like Scizor or Rotom-Wash or Genosect or Aegislash.

I think Extremespeed could stand more distribution though, especially on naturally faster Pokemon that are lacking in good moves.

looks at Rapidash

Just keep it the fuck away from things that get STAB on it. Arceus lost STAB on Extremespeed and that thing still fucking massacres with it in Ubers after a single Swords Dance.

shudders at the idea of Zangoose, Stoutland or Diggersby getting Extremespeed

You should play my Rain Team later and see what you think. I’ve been trial and error-ing with it for months now.

Sorry dude, I got caught up with something. I’m coming on now. Let me get one of those Meditite.

Saitsu · January 21, 2014, 4:51am

Alright, no problem Po.

Mood4food77 · January 21, 2014, 5:09am

for the record, poison jab is good on pangoro for lack of options to deal with fairies (especially when both his stab moves are resisted by fairy)

Saitsu · January 21, 2014, 5:36am

Alright, still waiting on AVP and Co-Jones.

And is there anything you guys want me to work on in my on deck circle? I’d like to know before I start heavily breeding anything else.

Lycanscar9500 · January 21, 2014, 5:40am

@Saitsu ill trade you a 4iv HA Eggmove Timburr for that jolly meditite

Saitsu · January 21, 2014, 5:41am

Deal, let me put up your FC quick and get online.

Lycanscar9500 · January 21, 2014, 5:46am

@Saitsu ill trade you a 4iv HA Eggmove Timburr for that jolly meditite

Alright
Also i just hatched a 6iv roselia

The_Co-Jones · January 21, 2014, 5:47am

Adamant marvel scale extreme speed iron tail dratini
Adamant body slam pursuit slakoth
Modest tynamo
Adamant speed boost destiny bond carvanha

Dratini and carvanha barely have 2 IVs in attack and speed because I don’t have good dittos.

Still waiting on @EveryFlowerFlow for the ditto.

Saitsu · January 21, 2014, 5:47am

Is there anything you want for the Roselia? Or is that just a personal victory lol?

Lycanscar9500 · January 21, 2014, 5:48am

just a personal victory its my 3rd 6iv

Saitsu · January 21, 2014, 5:50am

I can rock that Dratini.

ashstampede · January 21, 2014, 5:57am

Someone do me some trade evolves please

What did you breed timburr with? Using a 4iv chimchar only getting 2iveggs

Lycanscar9500 · January 21, 2014, 6:05am

i used a 6iv ditto

Saitsu · January 21, 2014, 6:07am

It feels good to be a part of the 6 IV Ditto Master Race.

Lycanscar9500 · January 21, 2014, 6:08am

Ditto is the best assist in pokemon

AntiVirginPatrol · January 21, 2014, 6:08am

My bad I was breeding Dratinis.

Plus I can’t connect to the server for some reason now…

Syke1 · January 21, 2014, 6:09am

but Arcanine is supposed to be lightning quick in the lore. It should be as fast as a crobat.

Lycanscar9500 · January 21, 2014, 6:14am

on second thought that 6iv roselia is for trade, i just hatched 2 5iv with the right ability
