SRK Competitive Pokemon Battling Thread: Logoghoul and White Shadow Win! Bye Gen 6!

^ have you ever played WoW

lmao I know where this is going.

I’m clueless. Where’s this going?

Im confused. I don’t play WoW

The weekend would be better. Perhaps Friday at the earliest

whoo! fuck Mega Venusaur and it’s bulky ways :lol:

It helps that your opponent seemed to love giving you free kills for no reason.

probably didn’t know how to handle my team…not like I was doing anything special. Granted I see how you play and you make your opponents look like armatures

Oh darn. And I really wanted to use Mega Infernape too…

he’s going to ignore me again

running roost may seem like an attractive option on gliscor but in reality, it’s much better to run sub and protect (he’s already running sub) for healing purposes. i tried it with roost and replacing it with protect proved to be far more beneficial

gliscor already produces a lot of switches, especially when he’s toxic’d up, so subbing on the switch is a pretty attractive option, if the next turn you protect, no only do you keep your sub, you’re back to the same health you were two turns ago, roost is better on a set without substitute (like a gimmicky ass fling/acrobatics set), he takes a lot of neutral damage and with the power of things this gen, he’s going to take a good 40% from even neutral hits, using protect on him is way more benefical

i also do not see the justification in using poison jab on anything that isn’t pangoro, haxorus, scrafty, or a poison type, especially on gliscor who compliments moltres really well, running EQ lets you get passed it’s biggest enemy in heatran

i also think replacing sableye with mega blastoise will mitigate 90% of the flaws with this team

Gotta love a match without a ton of hax :slight_smile: I’m not really a fan of Forretress, but I needed a Kyurem-B check. I should probably redistribute the EVs on my Venusaur as well.

why did he death fodder skarmory? he could’ve won, and he should’ve wished up blissey a few times, some questionable moves by him

twas a good game though

(Oh, crap. I forgot to post these two matches from last night before I left.)

Ugh. I feel like such an idiot for forgetting that Circle Throw (and Dragon Tail) have -6 Priority. That makes two really weird instances of screwing around with Choice Scarf Pangoro make a lot more sense. That said, that was kinda why I wanted to try out the damn panda besides Parting Shot, so now I’ll have to redo that team even more. Which is fine, because at the very least Ferrothorn, who is still very new to me, doesn’t really need Spikes and Thunder Wave is kinda just “there” anyway. I should also probably give Vaporeon Heal Bell like how I wanted to, even though that makes him even more set-up fodder without Toxic. Hmmm…

Anyway, two turn-around matches from last night:

i know you want to run arcanine, but since you’re on showdown though, just run infernape over him, they run pretty much identical sets and infernape gets STAB on CC, on top of being faster

so basically, it’ll do the same job better, morning sun not included but if you really want that bulky but offensive fire type, either mega zard will work much better due to having a better defensive typing and much more offensive presence

Arcanine has intimidate and a recovery move, that’s where his niche lies. No other pokemon in that game has this. He’s kind of unkillable against some physical pokes, but he does lack a physical presence.

I’d just run full HP and defenses, and have roar, wisp/toxic, flare blitz, and morning sun. If you use him for offensive purposes, you’re definitely doing it wrong.

Masquerain, Salamence, and Staraptor say hi

Masquerain and Staraptor are complete and total ass defensively. Salamences frail ass has a 4x weakness. Doesn’t change the fact that I was wrong about the intimidate and recovery thing, but those pokemon either suck defensively and would be better off using a different ability or simply don’t have the movepool to pull off a defense set. Masquerain is useless.

I have seen one wishmence in battle… Hilarious and totally a surprise pkmn but it CAN work.

if you use wishmence, you are really the scummiest of the scum

you not only are taunting your opponent, you’re stomping on his soul

and for the record, salamence is definitely not frail, at 95/80/80, he’s only 5 HP less than azumarill’s bulk, albeit not as awesome of a typing, but he’s definitely not frail

but yea, wishmence is about as trolly as you can get, like air balloon rotom-s and cheri berry stunfisk

if you run wishmence, you’re a douche

The same guy that told me Hydreigon’s 92/90/90 was frail.
