yeah that’s what i meant, i’m still running bullet punch and quick atk on it.
steel atks in general have poor coverage, but after a few sd’s it gets interesting 
from my experiences it works but i still wanna test more.
Sword Dance/Quick Attack/X-Scissor/Roost. Used to use X-scissor on pokes like umbreon/cress.
BP scizor is alotta hype and little substance imo, steel is super effective against very little like eph said.
true but that tech boost plus STAB is nice. I wouldn’t use it personally the QA one gets stopped by a bulky ghost.
bullet punch scizor is far from all hype little substance. bullet punch and quick attack together isnt bad for stuff like zapdos, jolteon, infernape, electivire, etc, but if youre ONLY using quick attack, youre using the wrong pokemon.
lucario is straight up better than swords dance/quick attack scizor, the only thing that makes scizor so fearsome is bullet punch
Scizor is better than lucario at SD-Quick attack for the way I use him. Number 1 because he can actually take hits and even roost them off if he needs, adding to his lastablity, whereas lucario is a frail puppy. Secondly bug/steel resists/is neutral to everything that isn’t fire which, lastly allows me to switch to Life orb Arcanine/Scarftran on a good prediction.
The problem I have with Bullet Punch scizor is that I’m forced to drop X-scizor for Quick attack because of steels poor coverage only to kill… what Rock types more easily? I have a BP scizor but like I said like 2 months ago I’m probably not using him right put him in the roost set.
edit: And I can kill Gengar easier too I guess.
you talk about steel being bad but you neglect to mention that normal is a HORRIBLE attacking type, and no the steel type isnt just for rocks and gengar… its for sweeping damage, simple as that. bullet punch is effectively 90 power, compared to quick attack’s 60… or lucario extreme speed 80
lucario may be frail, but he still has A LOT of pokemon that are free set up fodder to him, and thats what matters in the end. but yeah having onlky a fire weakness is definitely useful, youre right there, i just think bullet punch is too good to pass up
in regards to S Dancing pkmn I would prefer Lucario. Scizor has more attack and better typing but Luke has better typing for sweeping and is faster.
Hmm…could be a bit too soon? (in egards to the possible viewing of the 5th gen of pkmn)
This might sound like a dumb question but has Pokemon Platinum’s release date been announced yet?
I was just thinking the same thing. Did anybody import it? I lost my Pearl and im kind of want to start playing again.
Imported it twice for my friend.
Maybe I’ll order one for myself but,dunno.
PBR seemed boring to me.
pkmn Plat date has been announced
march 22nd is the launch date in the US. :tup:
cool. too bad they never added random match making
cause nintendo fears for the safety of it’s players…hence the stupid and unnecessary friend codes… :rolleyes:
when I go on break from work for a week for X-mas/new years I’ll be online to play games (hopefully with new pkmn) soon.
Fuck friend codes. Worse shit ever.
I agree…but in anycase I am here to say that for those who have been paying attention to the metagame as of right now, Skymin (Shaymin S) is considered Uber tier…for now but will be retested again in a month or so. Non Soul Dew Lati Twins will begin testing soon so it will be interesting to see how that fares. I realize I wasn’t playing much during the time Deoxys was OU (with perhaps one or 2 battles to experience him)
Shoddy players should be helping out with how they feel things are going. would be interesting to know how they handle.
heatwave zapdos is awesome, i mean i knew that shit was coming when allan downed my steelix, but it’s still awesome xD
heatwave zapdos is something I’m looking at…but then become a matter of which kind am I going to use? alos…those damn Hidden Powers and what do I want to cover… :wonder:
Apparently on smogon they’ve found that certain HPs and Natures are auto-fixed for stats, so now they’re debating the legalities of using maxed out Legends with certain hidden powers. Quite interesting…
It’s even more awesome when you’re the one doing it. :razzy::wgrin:
This is true. On Shoddy, legendaries can’t have all 31 IVs or stuff like that. Certain IVs are locked to certain natures so you have to constantly tweak the stats until you don’t get an error. I was able to get the HPs I wanted (yes HP 70) even with 31s in Speed and Sp.Atk. but it took awhile. Now that I have almost three weeks off, I’m re-Pokesaving my legendaries so they have stats that are possible to get in-game.
realizing that I’ll go check over my pkmn for legal stats soon.
