What’s Scrappy?

scrappy makes fighting/normal moves hit ghosts

so say Spiritomb would get hit SE against a Focus punching Kangaskhan

Oh yeah my miltank has that. :looney:

Thats why people always say that Miltank needs Rapid Spin.

anyone wanna battle?

I’m waiting for guru but 2 victories would be sweet. Time to drop this 0-5 record, let’s go mag.

ok im on

doh, forgot about aura sphere/flamethrower. gg

GG mag, I didn’t think A/S would KO Luc. I was also afraid of Deoxys there :o

Heh, now I’ve got a 4-win streak on Mag. 3 on Wi-fi, one on the shoddy ladder. Kekekeke

Still need to make a new team, though. Mine gets owned by stall.

Man, my dad changed the Wi-fi settings for the security, and now my DS can’t connect to the router anymore, but the Wii still can. D=

lol ya, im on a pretty big losing streak in general, on shoddy and wifi

except in double battles. havent lost one of those in forever!

Battle anyone?

A double on wifi, only had one of those ever against guru. Turned out well, very well.

What is the metagame for doubles like?
I’ve never played doubles and I’m just wondering.

Same as regulars, only you have to pay more attention towards move effects. Example, earthquake and explosion will damage everything in battle. However, if I’m running say Garchomp and Gyarados then EQ will only effect the opposition as to oppose my own teammate.

What about those Exploder, Jynx, Smeargle stuff?
Do people even run those sets anymore?
And would the only real way to deal with it to be to pack T-tar on your team?

Well I don’t think those sets run too well in the meta, but you could probably get away with it late game or something.

I know guru used worry seed on his own Reigigas, to ignore the effects of slow start.

ghosts work pretty good on those sets (oh to have an insomniac ghost)

additionally most of the time explosion is seen coming miles away, and Sash fucks around alot of stuff

I heard that Worry Seed didn’t remove the effects of Slow Start or something.

Worry Seed doesn’t work on Truant. However, Gastro Acid does. fyi Worry Seed changes the target’s ability to Insomnia while Gastro Acid removes the target’s ability.
