Negrobison’s signature move better have this **hold item**to increase it’s power by 1000% :p:
That Mummy trait is pretty interesting, if that Pokemon has good stats it might make for a frustrating opponent.
Clear Smog aka Haze 2.0, me likes.
Magic Room, me likes
…but Strike Down, Dragon Tail, and [the probably on crappy cutesy Pokemon] Cheer Up are the real stars of the show.
Earthquake Spiral is a good ability too.
Darkodile has it. Raises it’s ATK when it KOs an opponent. :rock:
I already discussed it a while back, and yes it’s awesome.
Just hope the Pokemon is too.
Hopefully it evolves.
well luvdisc and chimecho are getting evos so i don’t see why afronegrobison can’t be a tauros evo
Haven’t they already revealed a few old poke evos, like Luvdisc, though?
DD Gyarados lead
Sweep until pokemon with electric move switches in
Electivire gets boost
You win
was every Garchomp/Manaphy-less team’s intention for like 6 months after 4th gen started
As well as, CB HERACROSS USED CLOSE COMBAT
I didn’t know about that. Hmm I guess it’s possible then. Im sure we’ll find out next saturday.
Remember when Weavile was actually being used to sweep teams? Nasty Plot Porygon Z with Adaptability was another, Nasty Plot once or twice and KO everything even Blissey.
Leadoff with Yanmega w/life orb. Put your counter to sleep and proceed to tear teams apart as they panic switch. Every Azelf ran the Nasty Plot set.
Switch Vire in any Blissey/Togekiss set because they all ran Twave for motor drive.
Use Hippowdon’s sand stream + Garchomp combo. Use subs+brightpowder along with SD so you can’t be hit 50% of the time to boost&sweep
Bro, I’m still finding ways to fit Porygon-Z onto teams cause the Porygon line is one of my favorites. Same with Empoleon, but he’s easier to fit into teams.
Weezing is a physical wall fit for OU.
Lead Azelf doesn’t exist.
Swords Dance Quick Attack Scizor.
Rhyperior in general.
Not on my teams. I couldn’t fit in Empoleon for the life of me, too many common weakness despite his typing.
More early D/P
No S/R/Suicide leads
"Cresselia is the new Blissey"
SpecsMence
Ice Shard Donphan, then people figured Mamoswine did it better
"Trick" was uncommon
Dugtrio OU
"Alakazam is going to sweep you"
Ice Fang Gyarados
Drill Peck Skarmory
and then platinum came and fucked up 4th gen forever
Hitmonlee is the greatest pokemon ever
Probably a dumb question but…does everyone in the thread play the competitive style(EV/IV training, hyper breeding, etc)?
I just need to know if I’ll be shunned for being strictly casual when B/W is released stateside 
[media=youtube]RKsidZ9w3ro[/media]
Very good.
Yes, people here play competitive, but most of us stopped playing for this generation.
i’m not super hardcore. I do think about teambuilding, i do ev train, breed for moves when necessary, and stuff
I take natures and movesets into account and I was never really good at breding for moves but I got a little better in Gen 4 but I dont EV/IV train or anything.
Just kinda tiring when I actually try to battle and I get the whole “lol you dont ev? nothanks /trollface”
I used to be super-hardcore, but now I don’t particularly care when it comes to my wi-fi teams, and I do weird stuff with my Shoddy teams, so I guess I would classify myself as mostly casual as well.
I’ve been keeping up with the info coming out of Japan, and it looks like NONE of the new Pokemon are related to previous-gen beasts… so Luvdisc evo is NOT a Luvdisc evo, lol.
However, if rumors are true, we are going to be getting some VERY interesting type-combos and Pokemon this gen.
I’m extremely hyped right now.
since gen 4 made it relatively easy to, I EV train. I don’t go for perfect in my EV training, but I’ll attempt to gear it towards what I want out of it. IVs… not so much. Too much of a hassle to warrant such a little difference. Natures and movesets I’ll focus on though.
competitively yeah you’re gonna have to ev train and all that to get the most outta your pokemon in battles, but ingame you could run pretty much anything.
the longest battle I had with someone was about 2 hours, SKARMBLISS vs SKARMCRESS, I never EV train anymore because the simulations do it for me (AR/Shoddy/etc)
