yeah… last night everything seemed to work fine for me… and today I got DC’d twice… I really hope they sort this shit out…
sucks to hear but I’ll try to play again.
also since more and more vids I put up seem to reveal my teams, in a short time I’ll begin to post up some builds…most are my creation and as such don’t exactly follow standards
edit - FUCKING A!!! SRK you give me an error right when i am done and I refresh and bam…everything gone…fuck doing this now, I’ll do it tomorrow.
ok double posting here but I wanted to provide some new ideas for pkmn to show ya’ll why standards need to be shaken up a bit
for now I bring you my calm mind Bronzong (JUJU)
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/100 Def/152 Sp Def
Relaxed/Sassy Nature
- Hypnosis
- Calm Mind
- Psychic
- Flash cannon
I run sassy nature to have both Def balanced when I can’t CM but feel free to use relaxed nature to boost your Def and score a CM to beef up your pkmn better. the set uses hypnosis to put your threats asleep and then you proceed to CM up…only physical fire moves will cause your guy to run but most other attacks will be a 2HKO to ya. both attacks you use get STAB and thus benefit…although you other fellow Psy/steels will try to wall you after about 3CMs you’ll be able to 3HKO standard metagross and other steels will fall…blissey can be troublesome but if it doesn’t run seismic toss (or a flamethrower with a bunch of Sp Atk behind it) then you’re ok.
One of the problems with Bronzong is that it lacks a great healing move and can’t take repetivitve abuse. Taunting Gyara loves sets like those, and it just re-sets you up for dragon dances. Stuff with sleep talk can still wear bronzong down before a couple of CM, and sub-punchers also counter that set nicely.
this set isn’t meant to support much…it’s designed to attck…although Gyra can come in on a CM after that it’s a 3HKO to beat it…but then again your shouldn’t be using this against Gyra anyway.
this brings me to another set:
torment cloyster
Ability: shell armor
EVs: 252 HP/100 Def//56 Atk/100 Sp Def
Impish Nature
- poison jab/ice shards
- protect
- torment
- spikes/toxic/explosion
your focus here is to status a pkmn and then proceed to stall. start by bringing this in on a pkmn that cannot do much to it’s excellent Def and torment the oncoming pkmn. if you want to provide good team support give it spikes or if you’re really in need of a spinner rapid spin. if you choose to go with toxic, then you can use Ice shards. with spikes or explosion posion jab allows you to avoid being taunted and with a 30% chance to poison, you’ll then be alternating between spiking and protect…or protecting and poison jabs…of course if you have toxic spikes in play, then poison jab can be dropped for ice shards or surf (juts switch to a bold nature and allocate your Evs accordingly)
speaking of EVs, max out the HP and Def won’t be needing as much…although if you don’t care about sponging ice beams and surfs with this pkmn (due to its poor Sp Def) then put the rest of your EVs to either attaclk to hit harder or to Def to spong stuff like EQ even better. this set runs very well in Hail for added support. beware of close combats and STAB stone edges as this shellfish won’t like being hammred by either. thunderbolts fry it in a heartbeat.
Cloyster handles extremely well in an UU game, but after that it gets risky using it lol. He has a 50 HP statistical base and that’s not good, I’d focus my EV’s there. I think he has a respectable Sp Atk at 85 base but any leftover EV’s should be ran there, you’ll likely be running off two STAB’D atks in Ice Beam/Surf so you’ll be wanting to get the most out of those.
Nothing can be done about his Sp Def, EV’s there would just be wasted since it’s wayyy too low. He’s not a bad spiker but he was a lot better in ADV, with the SR weakness I see most Cloyster teams running rapid spin sets.
In Fire Red
Gyara is hard to work with in this version. I don’t plan on using him competively but somehow I still want HP Flying and I hate breeding for HP’s. I thought the poison type is determined with the SPECIAL category but it is a physical property sigh there goes my Venasaur’s Sludge Bomb. So now I’m thinking something like…
Synthesis
Sunny Day/ Sleep Powder
Solarbeam
HP Fire
It’s modest, but like I said I hate having to get HP’s right :bluu: I also wanna stick Leech Seed in there but don’t know how. Grass types are still poor in ADV, despite bulbasaur being the best in-game starter.
I had Ghost as special and Dark as physical, yeah that’s backwards actually :/. Now I see why HP Ghost was on a lot of things in the ADV version, I plan on getting a Marowak but that low speed isn’t pleasing. I just want a balance in-game team with good types and competitive moves I’d use if I was battling a human 
Hmm…since we’re talking FR here about this venusaur, I can see why there’s no room for leech seed if you want your pkmn to be a sunny beamer. if you run sleep powder, then synthesis can be swapped for leech seed but IMO you’re better off going with sunny day…this way HP Fire gains the boost.
I decided to not to pursue leech seed, and just try for HP Fire. Here goes a long stretch of cursing, frustration, and annoyance. xp
haha well this is why I try to avoid HPs as much as possible…
anyone here?
challenge!!!
you still there? I’ll play :tup:
are you still there? lol. if so i still wanna battle
I WAS there but when I came on you weren’t…I guess when you came back, I was already deep into my match (I battled Mag instead)…and I JUST finished that match…an epic 57 min we went at it…and I will be uploading this one to youtube later tonight…(so long it will be a 2 parter :wonder: )
gg infernoman, you shoulda seen my face when i remembered gyro ball… i remembered it just before the words came onto the screen. ouch
p.s. if anyone else wants to battle ill be on hosting still for a bit
I think that was the turning point…the moment I saw you shuffling your pkmn to get statused I realized you’re avoiding toxic lvl poison and as such another layer would be pointless…but when I say you trying to rock polish…I was crozzing my fingers that you’d pass to one of your rock pkmn…oh man did I guess right!
Lagann always get’s his job done…and this time he pulled off all 3 of his tasks and actually utilized everything he had! :woot:
a great game man! been a while since I had to struggle so hard…your last pkmn (not counting the trapper) had me fustrated…though i realized I could have ended it 15 min sooner if I didn’t hit the wrong attack with my Lockjaw… :rolleyes:
alas…Gurren was dead weight…stone edge failed me…man I knew I shouled have taken the time to try out Kraken again.
Anyone want to play?
If you already have faced my “special” team, you know that one? Then don’t bother, because I’m still using it. xD
Well I just kept shaking my head knowning Outrage probably would of KO swine, I can’t believe I fell for that perish trap…I figured Jynx had an ADV moveset like it always does.
Well played, gg allan.
gg Travis. I already posted a visitor’s message, so I’m not posting again about the battle (though I could just easily cut and paste it here).
Also snow cloak really did me in, I missed a Zen Headbutt and something else. Just sad really, there was nothing I could do.
I’m going to end the night on a winning note - if you wanted a rematch it’ll have to wait. :razzy:
