manaphy is almost as bad as skymin, i want nothing to do with that thing, and skymin is ridiculous
what´s your favourite mon mood?
pretty sure its Blaziken
too bad he sucks
sniff sniff
don’t you tell me he sucks, don’t do it
sniff
…And the Caped Crusader responds to the Bat-signal in the sky, leaping into the fray…
Insert Po’s assertion that there is more balance in Pokemon than some people can realize/admit, and that banning everything that murders Tyranitar for free is the source of a lot of the volatility of that one place’s metagame*
ok
im ready for those calcs
*You are forbidden from speaking against the allowance of Manaphy in SRK Tournaments. Break this rule and the consequences will be severe.
You have been warned.*
when’s poke bank btw?
December 27th for us westerners. The Japanese get it on Christmas Day.
I just lol at seeing these diminutive and seemingly weak Pokémon(i.e. Manaphy, Sky Shaymin, Bidoof, Fear Rattata, Sturdy Aron/Magnemite) troll the fuck outta the big, badass, “cool” mons like Zekrom/Mewtwo/Arceus and become feared and even banned for being “too good.”
Shaymin S is fast and has dat serene grace seed flare but he’s frail as fuck.
He’s a good stall breaker against someone who can’t really hit back, but is 4x weak to ice and takes 25% for every switch in.
He needs to get brought down from ubers, he’s not even good for real…
EDIT: Manaphy is>>>>>>> Shaymin S
Tail Glow is really easy to set up for a pokemon who only has 2 weaknesses.
Alright so far the team has been doing far better with a belly drumming Azumarill.
That Skarmory puts in work, but often its either taunted or put to sleep. I should just run a suicide lead version of him.
I wanted to use manaphy! Tail glow is scary. I used shaymin in reg form before it became the flying raping reindeer

This team also fits in the realm of the item clause(wherever it does apply, it doesn’t on Pokemon Showdown but I think yall enforce it)
or dear god, i didn’t realize that seed flare had a 40% chance to harshly drop special defense, so skymin gets an 80% chance to drop your special defense to super low levels, and since it’s probably faster than you, even if you survive the next hit, you’re going to be flinched anyways, it was the most rage inducing thing ever and was no fun to play against, it has no business being in standard play
the only things in pokebank that should be banned are deoxys, manaphy, thunderus-I, and genesect, you’d be pushing it for keldeo and landorus-I, none of the megas are ridiculous like mega gengar and mega khan, mega lucario is the next best one but he is far from braindead, and blaziken already has been taken care of
the current OU metagame is fun and nothing runs train without you being an idiot, then pokebank will come and add other shit
also just because it beats tyranitar, doesn’t mean it’s stupid, like gliscor
i need to make my stall team to infuriate you guys to oblivion
Why isn’t your lucario not Justified over steadfast there is no reason not to run it?
Justified is a better ability because switching into a dark move gives you an auto-attack boost.
All of his abilities other than his mega ability of adaptability fucking suck, but Justified is the best one.
I don’t remember the last time I’ve been flinched and Mega Lucario is crazy fast.
