The online play is garbage and makes me super duper sad. You can’t just set it to 6v6 auto level to 50. It is like they don’t want you to have fun.
Yeah, hopefully Gen 6 will fix online play…
Pretty please?
Pffft… HAHAHAHAHA…
I’m sorry, Bious… but that’s probably not going to happen. Nintendo is at least two generations behind on their online infrastructure… I’m sure Game Freak will try, but their inexperience combined with Nintendo’s elderly myopia when it comes to anything internet related will make this a difficult, if not impossible, task.
Also, good God, Heracross is a fucking beast. I had no idea so much of the metagame was so free to a Scarf’d Moxie Cross… and UU is mighty Guts Hera weak… the stocky indigo beetle is just so GDLK.
In my Top 5 favorite Pokemon of all time, for sure.
I was fine with my Guts one. Too lazy to get my friend to get me a moxie one from dreamworld. You just get tired out from the DW breeding IV stuff. 
Like I said before, she wasn’t scarfed for awhile (dumb ol’ WS was like “no no use a band!” ) and I was like “Fuck this” put a scarf on her and she started blasting people. DON’T TELL ME HOW TO RAISE HERACROSSES MARLON.
Heracross is the best pokemon, this will never be challenged in anyway.
Well 2OHKO’s Hippodon, and it OHKO’s Volcarona(yes even the bulky ones) after a swords dance boost…
If I’m not confident about being able to kill a certain threat, baton pass to something that can like a Choice Band Dragonite or Life Orb Scizor, it’s beautiful really…
I use it as a lead in all my matches, this thing ate a Ice Beam from a Politoed and then killed it in one attack after a swords dance boost(jolly nature), I was like 
It also OHKOs a non-bulky Heatran after a Swords Dance boost(Brick Break)… I wish I gave it Bug Bite, but I used that slot for Baton Pass…
This thing is ridiculous lol
…I’m intrigued…I must witness video of this.
Dammit Po, I can dream!
I will have my LV 100 6v6 battles back!
I am the Dream Eater (lol Hypno)…
I still to this day don’t understand why the hell they took that option out… Game Freak loves adding new, innovative, and fan-favorite features and then taking them out in the next game…
I’m still waiting on them to bring back having your Pokemon follow behind you… I want my Heracross and Toxicroak to get hyped before we bring the arpe…
I was about to steal your scyther idea but you have to get Roost on him. I don’t have BW2.
Also if Heracross gets an Evo, LETS GO EVIOLITE HERACROSS.
Why oh why is there the auto level down to 50 anyway? Almost like hey we don’t want you to raise your pokemon to
level 100 anymore shit. Couldn’t they just be auto leveled to 100? I really don’t see the point of forced leveled down
to 50 other than nintendo’s bullshit rules.
If I said it needed a band it was justified.* whistles*
Yeah the days of DPP was SOOO freaking good on here. We had over 50 Friend Codes and finding a match was easy.
I remember playing on Smogon when things died down here, and yeah they complain about a lot of stuff. Who bitches at item clause? I mean seriously…
Hey not my fault! Choice Band Herasara did work for me, so it’s all on you buddy. spits on your DS
Dat Cutor
Full Metal Alchemist shit right thurr…

Well heres a look at how much damage Scyther regularly does, for the Hippodon thing, it cannot 2HKO a Defensive Wall Hippodon, but a Special Wall one… so you’re taking a chance…
So many people run stealth rock, if you’re running Scyther as your last Pokemon you’re doing yourself a disservice without rapid spin support…
Tbh, I need to run Donphan and replace Sableye…
^That nigga sucks at Pokemon… how you gonna let two Pokemon just run you whole team into the ground like that? That’s just sad. He had NO answer for Scyther other than Dragonite’s Thunder, lol.
…and who sends in a non-Scarf Hydreigon in on something as fast as Scyther anyway?
I was planning on Baton Passing because everything on his team was too slow to hit Scyther, but when he switched out Politoed instead of Ice Beaming I was like, really?
It can take a super effective hit from anything, I like using him because most Baton passers are not offensive threats…
Tbh my team gets ran through against entry hazard subteams that have Haxarachi…
I win sometimes but it’s by luck…
My team is a hard counter to any sun team because after a swords dance, he OHKO’s Volcarona and Ninetails, and is a hard counter to anything grass type…
Stealth Rock rapes me so i gotta find a solution to that… but if I switch out Sableye for Donphan, I’m opened up for Vaporeon rape lol…
Maybe I should get a taunting Gyarados instead… that would definitely work…
…
Make it happen, Game Freak

Here’s another battle that was really a close call…
One thing I noticed playing with Eviolite Scyther is that he is a direct counter pick to Ferrothorn…
The only attacking move that Ferrothorn typically carries(power whip) has a 4x weakness to Bug/Flying…
Usually I bring Scyther in on a Ferrothorn and hit him with that Swords Dance, Brick Break combo, and if my opponent doesn’t bring in something fast(after either killing Ferrothorn or forcing the switch), I’ll baton pass to Scizor…
But whether Baton passing to Scizor and using him to kill Ferrothorn or the way I go about it is still in question…
I thought most Ferrothorns carried Gyro Ball for those situations. Will that KO after rocks?
Nah, most people use that slot for something like protect(if they don’t have that move, it’s an automatic loss for Ferrothorn because they can’t Leech seed or Toxi-stall against a Scyther)… nobody expects a Scyther lol… they use power whip for coverage against water…
But you’ll die after two gyro balls if you get hit by da rocks…
But Ferrothorn always is the one to set up the rocks against everyone I’ve played… this is what will usually go down(when Ferrothorn has protect)…
- Ferrothorn gets brought in, I switch Scyther in, Ferrothorn sets up rocks, Scyhter swords dance boost, Ferrothorn(toxic,leech seed), Scyther keeps brick breaking until Ferrothorn switches(A boosted brick break does 70%), if you think Ferrothorn would switch out, use Aerial Ace… this scenario is the one that is in your favor.
Here you have the option to either Baton Pass or stay in, if you do Baton Pass, I’d recommend it for a scarfed Sweeper(like a Terrakion or something). Without rapid spin support, you will lose your Scyther guaranteed on the switch but at least you get to take a Ferrothorn down with you.
- Ferrothorn gets brought in, I switch Scyther in, Ferrothorn uses leech Seed, Scyther uses swords dance, Ferrothorn(stealth rocks or toxic), this is a war of attrition less in your favor but one you will eventually win, in this scenario I just keep Scyther in until something kills him…
