Stalling is over! The best defense is a good offense. :nunchuck:
wonderguard dynamic punch can still hit you if you use fly. lolz
on the ohter hand new sets are being considered making some UU more viable to OU…one pkmn I really wanted to use being Aggron. Sadly I was hoping that bullet punch Aggron would be a lovely dream (curse/BP is evil) but even so STAB no recoil Head Smash is HOT. that rock polish set I thought of a while back now looks to be more than just a dream now. 
also Torment Nidoqueen is fun and I have thrown so many people off with it. :lol:
edit and as I looked over the new move tutor moves again not surprisingly most of them are geared drumroll for 2v2 battles…so once again yes gamefreak pays attention to competitive battles…but only in japan. they don’t give much a shit about US standard…:bluu:
Aggron has plenty of potential to at least be considered for UU (right now smogon has him at NU, people just aren’t finding a slot for him)
I assume smogon is getting strict on just what is OU now. We seen Yanmega take the fall from OU with Stealth Rockers becoming more rampant. Roserade was OU for a while but saw her usage shrink up, now she’s UU. People complained about Donphan, and he’s not even BL now.
Does anyone like Shuckle?!!
I swear to god, shuckle has the bestest defense ever. <3
Did anyone ever train shuckle in crystal!? Cause then, you are awesome.
ah Shuckle…I think most here are aware that I do enjoy that pkmn a lot. my dear Darkninjagurrl, just go to youtube and type in my SN to find some pkmn vids. some have me using shuckle.
Oh Shuckle. Anyone remember that nasty Sandstorm/Wrap/Toxic combo from the G/S/C days? :looney:
Shuckle is a bitch in SS, now that is a annoying pokemon! I remember something of that combination, a toxic/ss stall.
Allan, lets start the rematch OU.
Travis I got the message and am heading online. Good luck!
sandstorm shuckle is a major bitch to take down. even super effective stuff doesn’t take it down very easily. when i see shuckle it’s basically set up fodder to me.
I don’t mean to rub it in, but SWEEP! :wgrin:
gg :tup: I gotta get ready to see a movie, so no rematch (just yet).
Geez a sweep didn’t see that one coming.
I’ve been terrible as of late, I better just stick to playing FE: SD online lmao I’m doing a lot better there. Cool on the rematch haha, imma just read up on the revamp movesets for pokemon and stuff for the time being. GG!
shoddy has the updated moves now. check out what works now online!
I want to start playing pokemon pearl again. >_< My friend borrowed my ds for 6 months, I actually forgot she had it.
how come i never see rapid spinner starmie? starmie imo is the best rapid spinner. natural cure for switching in on status effects, can heal itself with recover with the speed AND bulk provided you’re running the smogon set. i mean sure you aren’t able to stall as well as forretress and without all the resistances but forretress can’t do the same stuff starmie can.
plus starmie makes a great switch in to gyarados if it hasn’t taken a lot of damage beforehand.
gg last night man, hope to find you on shoddy again
During the early stages of D/P saw many rapid spinner Starmie’s just for the sake of “having one”. At the time SkarmBliss was incredibly popular, so chances of you getting hit with S/R was pretty much guaranteed. Starmie would counter this because not only would it scare away major threats such as Garchomp or Gyarados, but it was one of the few spinners that were truly available in the OU environment.
Chances are people still have one, but they probably feel more inclined to run the specs set over it to counter switch ins (ex anything with pursuit) on starmie.
a bulky starmie is also a great staller with toxic spikes in play since it’s so hard to take down. i ran a roserade/starmie combo not too long ago and it worked really well surprisingly. i think only a handful of moves could ohko it.
i still think it’s such a shame that roserade got moved to UU but i guess it works out there since toxic spikes isn’t used at all in OU due to all the damn steels
anyone know if nintendo will finally let you use the rotom formes on wifi without an ar code in hg/ss? putting that code is so inconvenient everytime you wanna use a rotom form.
^ i know that giratina-o is not gonna be available for wi fi, dunno about the rotom-a
and for that reason alone is why I never use Rotoms. I take into account WiFi teams made from shoddy so I have to take into consideration what I can use.
also hate the forms anyway.
