The OFFICIAL Pokemon thread ver 2.5

i heard it was working earlier but dropped again

well I know things were ok late last night when Guru was tradin’ pkmn with me.

ok double posting here but I’m going to say WiFi seems oks (for now) on my end. anyone want to try an UU battle?

its become a pretty common lead with taunt and stealth rock is why

Yeah I was on the receiving end on some of those setups. :frowning:

suicide leads became more popular. also I do like some of the more interesting and creativ movesets (the bulky setup using Curse with White Herb is cool)

I just tried out SubPetaya Empoleon with a Baton Pass Gliscor + Dual Screen Bronzong assist on Shoddy, and…wow, this thing can really rape. Dunno what else would fit the team best, though. Should probably at least switch Bronzong with a Jirachi so I can both U-Turn out of Magnezone and draw Ground attacks for a free Gliscor switch-in on occasion. Another Poke to BP Speed to would be a good idea as well. Preferably one without Emp’s weaknesses. I wanna say Marowak, but even Jolly Marowak’s still under 420 speed with a single boost…

Didn’t play on Shoddy for about a week and a half, so my rating plummeted. Naturally. Though I fought a few battles just now and got back up to rank 41 pretty quickly. Seems it’s still not very difficult to ascend on this ladder. I just gained like 8 ranks with a single win. :rofl:

Anyone know if Wi-Fi’s finally stabilized now?

did a few trades and DLed battle tower teams so it seems ok but I am not on long enough to really say.

Heck, you where on the receiving end of a +2 Speed, +6 Attack, + 1 Sp. Attack, +1 Sp. Def Lucario. :<

Anyway, I’m going to make a team based around Gliscor passing to Empoleon.
Thinking of sticking a Suicide Azelf lead to set up Stealth Rock.
Something to break down Special Walls
A backup sweeper
Something for Gliscor to be able to bait a weakness and switch in.

And I think everyone on Shoddy started using an Aerodactyl lead on Shoddy to bring him out or something. I hated those things because they taunted Azelf, forcing me to Physic, and not letting me to be able to set up SR in time :<

Choice Scarf Trick Jirachi lead, y/n

Well, if that’s the case…

If anyone wants to attempt a UU match, I’ll be on in a sec.

what’s with these UU matches lately? It’s the new thing?

I don’t like the idea of suicide leads but yes they work. trickscarf Jirachi is nice. Now that is gains Iron head, it can compete with Togekiss for flinchax helps take out Aero leads and bulky enough to hande suicide azelf leads. I perfer anti lead pkmn
but that is just me.

I haven’t created an OU team yet, that’s why I’m asking for UU.

I’d play but my teams now teem to focus more on OU (err yeah they always have). Plus, I just got off work :smiley:

ok well I’m down…I ghave enough pkmn (I think lol) for an UU match.

edit ok I’m online and ready to go if you’re up or if you like take on ephidel

Ooo I missed this.

The lucario you swept me with?

Actually the only trick poke lead I’ve ever used was alakazam. I hate the idea of trick in the metagame (too gimmicky for me), but hey I caught Blissey with it once and boy did it feel good as fuck. I guess Trick Jirachi with its defenses could work.

I don’t see anyone. You have my new FC in your Pal Pad, right?

hmm I think that is the problem…heh been a while so yeah my bad on not updating. give me a few min.

wait…which one am I inputting?

Just had to use Jumpluff, didn’t you? :arazz:

Such an annoying little bastard

Edit: The changes I made to this team really fucked me over. With Life Orb over Toxic Orb on Clefable + No leftovers on Rotom, Jumpluff is a total whore

Gah, gg. Some changes/Reversions are in order…
