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

As long as Po and Mood are present in the same thread these arguments are almost destined to happen.

well i like bans kinda because i can’t play pokebank with genesect legal lol
like it makes me too mad if i see him

Oh nah son, minimize can eat 1000s of dicks, Blissey is already hard enough to get rid of without evasion.

You’ve got to be trolling.

However Smogon has been making questionable decisions like keeping Genesect in the metagame while banning Blaziken already.

Like iirc, no discussion is even taking place about banning Genesect. He’s got to fucking go, Scizor is already here to stay, why do we need a faster Scizor with a better movepool and ability to run both special and attacking sets.

I think the ability to attack twice is super busted(Mega Kanga), you won’t get me to budge on that position ever. At least you can sub up and troll powerful pokemon until they die. With Kanga, he gets a two plus boost for breaking your substitute.

Alright, so I ran this team against an Ubers team running Ho-Oh, Kyogre, Xerneas, and Deoxys A and almost won.

The special attack set probably wasn’t a good idea in Ubers, but I can change that lol.

replay of said match?

There’s no Item Clause on those simulators? :rofl:

special attack set will only work in OU, not in ubers as everything is wayyyyyyyyyy bulkier outside of blissey

use brave bird on talonflame, there’s only like dialga who resists flying attacks and in ubers especially with all the dragons and kyogre running wild

that aegislash set eats bags of dicks, use the autonomize mixed set

Aegislash @ Life Orb / Weakness Policy
Ability: Stance Change
EVs: 88 Atk / 252 SpA / 168 Spe
Rash Nature

  • Autotomize
  • Shadow Ball
  • Hidden Power Ice
  • Iron Head / Sacred Sword

I don’t know if he’s actually bulky enough to use weakness policy in Ubers but this set is the tits anyways, you might be able to lower your Spe EVs in ubers thanks to it being naturally slower than OU but there’s still mewtwo (as +2 outspeeds positive 130s), hits like a truck and is fast, idk why people don’t use this set more as it’s the best set he can run

psychic in ubers is entirely useless on lando-I, too many psychic types and nothing is weak to it there, you might as well use splash over it

That set is going to get obliterated before it can use Weakness Policy, especially without as much as HP investment. Without King’s Shield, it dies if it doesn’t OHKO, and I highly doubt it’s OHKOing much without Atk/SpA boosts.

yea…you’re right, it’s just more threatening at +2 speed since he’s great at stopping sweeps, especially when shadow ball does a fuckton to mewtwo

Po & Mood = :yin_yang:

I OHKO’d a Mega Mewtwo Y with Leafeon once… Good times :lol:

So which one of you is the Avatar that will bring balance between the spirits and the material world?

lol I wish I saved the replay where I got someone using all legendaries down to one pokemon and lost because I fucked a prediction. I tried swords dancing on an Arceus because I wasn’t sure if I could OHKO him with Sacred Sword.

Something that won’t happen on Pokebattle. :coffee:

So, my team is ass, but this Belly Drum Azumarill tho.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pokebankoubeta-70406745

Im the guy with the Belly Drum Azumarill if it wasn’t obvious >.>

I know this is hella gimmicky and probably not the best trick set up but I use a smeargle with flame orb. It’s hilarious tho, everyone with an espeon switches into get tricked into getting flame orb.

thanks for the light clay? lulz

EDIT: Yo that azumarill went in :lol:

He let 3 Pokes die before he realized “Hmm…my Pokemon with Sturdy and Roar MIGHT be a big help here…”.

That happens to me sometimes. I’m still getting used to the new typing changes and everything and sometimes I just straight up missplay out of ignorance and let things die till I find something that works.

Wouldn’t be me since i still think despite the valid arguments Po i would side with. Mood sounds like the fucktards I deal with at work all day claiming they know more than me.

White Shadow is The One i believe in. Always have since gen 3

i never claimed to know more than you, or anyone for that matter

i just feel stupid shit needs to go away from competitive battling
