The OFFICIAL Pokemon thread ver 2.5

If you’re gonna run a RD bronzong he needs to be holding a Damp Rock especially if you wanna run a DD Kingdra too. Draco Meter is fine but lets not forget that it’s a one hit wonder, after using it you won’t be fond of your Sp. Atks much. However with the rain on and Hydro Pumps base, shouldn’t be a real issue that first wave. You could run the Double Dance set just in case there is no rain by the time Kingdra comes in, but it’ll lose it’s effectiveness towards sweeping generally.

Bronzong doesn’t really have a great movepoll people give credit for, but maybe something like toxic is ok. Definitely over Hypnosis, because even though Brozong has excellent typing he has no reliable recovery move to make up the misses from it. I prefer Gyro Ball or EQ, both hit hard on lots of things before you choose to explode.

gyro ball is awesome on bronzong.

Is Jirachi godlike?

very useful but not gdlk

if you do choose to start on HG/SS, they’re considered the best games in the series. not really much of a difference between the versions save for just some exlusive pkmn thus forcing you to trade if you ever want to “catch 'em all” otherwise pick whatever.

more like the king of hax.

expected on anything with senre grace :razz:

true but Jirachi makes it fully effective because of great typing and stats.

true but I’m still hard pressed that Togekiss is the hax king, well that or Gyarados flinching waterfalls

added tags

But by using DD, Kingdra’s other attacks get boosted as well (notably Outrage). Do you know what it’s like to cause severe butthurt to Fir with a Kingdra with two DD’s using Outrage in the rain? :looney:

two DD on anything scares me

not unless I got 2 DDs in myself RoFL, make that 3

You have gotten 3 DD’s on me using a Gyarados. I remember thinking to myself “How’d I let him do that?” while you were destroying my team. :lol:

I have 3 Gyarados 1 bulky,1 offensive, and one getting revamped with current up to date strats (bounce? lol)

I remember the early stages of smogon staff testing claming many teams in RMT were 6-0’d if Gyarados got a DD :rofl:

I can’t beleive it’ll be three years next month! :looney: lol I have a Gyarados with Bounce too!

Remember the Gyarados/Electivire team? I swear when Diamond/Pearl first came out 7/10 people I’d face would be using them. :rofl:

is rest + sleeptalk worth it on a bulky machamp? or are there better options?
(with payback and dynamic punch added already)

Remember when everyone was like “you have a weavile weakness” hahaha. Man, I use SkarmBliss for the lol now.

WTF three DD’s? were you guys doing misclicks for three turns or something lol

game is pretty much over when you get at +2 or more

yeah basically your only chance is that they don’t have rocks up and you have a sashed something that one shots it, and it doesn’t flinch you.

So what are the best pokemonz? And like. What about in SoulSilverz cause that’s what I’m gettings and you know I have no idea what the hell I’m doing. Haven’t played this game since Yellow. TYVM

That’s the tier list for DP. Things will likely get changed up a teeny bit when SS/HG come out, but not too much. Ubers are banned. That list isn’t 100% definitive…as I do have a little bit of a ::looks around:: secret weapon in the NU category…

It sucks that it’s exclusive to Platinum, but I really wanna try Poffin Making over the Wi-Fi connection. Anyone else wanna give it a shot with me?

Just finished paying off my copy of HG earlier today. I’m all set!
