Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Alright, someone else coming out of hibernation: Last time on the OU Ladder was gen 4 with Suicune. Woooooow times have changed.
I've played a lot of random battles on Showdown these last few years as a non stressful way to keep playing with new mons.
My experience is only Battle Stadium...
Mega-Metagross is strong and it does require some extra thought in how to counter it. Frankly, I'm tired of hearing "It 2HKO's Lando-T, one of the most popular mons". Well perhaps if some people put more thought into their defensive mons instead of picking the most popular ones they may notice...
1. Is Baton Pass (with specific reference to full Baton Pass teams) a problem for the development of the metagame?
No, not really. Top players have generally rejected this strategy, and the sentiment for losing to a Baton Pass team is a mixture of "noob rage" and indifference. The meta will...
I said the following on Suicune earlier but it got buried:
"Not sure if its been nominated or not, but I want to nominate Suicune for B+.
While it is true that CroCune (possibly the only viable set) has trouble with Pokemon such as Celebi, Ferrothorn, Jellicent, Blissey and Chansey, most of...
Its already day 1....And Lucarionite is still not banned lol.
I didn't make req's but my opinion is:
Lucarionite is broken. You don't know what it is until it has either killed a 'mon or setup on you. If its the latter, then you probably lost.
Genesect is an iffy one. I ran into one of these...
Not sure if its been nominated or not, but I want to nominate Suicune for B+.
While it is true that CroCune (possibly the only viable set) has trouble with Pokemon such as Celebi, Ferrothorn, Jellicent, Blissey and Chansey, most of those pokemon (besides Chansey perhaps) are seemingly dropping...
Nice. I'm actually only at 1400 on the ladder right now (started yesterday) and I've been surprised at how good this thing has been for me.
With Talonflame and Heatran on many teams, this thing always has a chance to come in and either start setting up, or scald on the switch and hope for a...
Hi,
I'm interested in both the Suicune (Just realized mine has terrible IV's) and the Landorus. I know its definitely a stretch but the best I have to offer is:
Shiny Garchomp-Level 100- 252Atk, 252Speed, 4 HP-Jolly-6IV 31. Pretty sure its legit, as I got it from a giveaway here during my 4th...
I'd check it if someone gave me an Eevee with Baton Pass. I'm still going through the game so I don't feel like leveling one up right now. If anyone is up for it, we can exchange friend codes and I'll have an answer shortly thereafter.
When I ended up breeding Wish onto Fennekin, I had originally planned to get Aura Sphere from Lucario.
The notion that she gets Aura Sphere from Lucario is 100% false....sadly :(
