  1. Latias Discussion: The Underrated Eon

    I have been using this awesome Latias-Jirachi core wherein I use a LO Recover 3-attacks Latias with Draco, psyshock and HP fire/surf and a normal SPDRachi. They cover most of eachother's weakness' and are just generally great together. The reason I think that Latias specifically is so great is...
  2. Victim of the Week: Week 6, Volcarona

    Arial ace Gliscor. Gg bro. It's immune to spore, takes no damage from Mach punch/low sweep, and takes bullet sees excellently. Aerial ace is a clean OHKO with no investment. This is also excellent because nobody expects aerial ace, and so people think they can win with Breloom vs Gliscor.
  3. CAP 5 Discussion (Concept Assessment)

    I like the idea of a Pokemon that can ruin weather. I think that if we tread carefully, we might be able to make a mon that counters all weather without it being completely broken. For example, Latias wrecks sun and a majority of rain (that is, with a bit of support), and it's nowhere near...
  4. Gen 5 The OU Viability Ranking thread

    Maybe it would be a lot of work, but on the front page (the post with the tiers), could we put a link to a post explaining why it's in the tier that it is, or just a spoiler box explaining it? I think it would be a lot more helpful then just saying which Pokemon is in which tier, because trying...
  5. Auto weather poll

    If you think that Blissey doesn't worry about Alakazam, I dare you to bring it in on my choice specs Focus Blast. I agree that strong water moves are scary, but I disagree that it is reason to ban drizzle. That's because Kyogre and Groudon are obviously Uber material. Look at their base...
  6. Auto weather poll

    The problem of having to have type synergy between Pokemon is not exclusive to rain, and neither is the problem of having to have Pokemon take powerful moves that are common in the metagame. That is not an argument against rain.
  7. Auto weather poll

    I think that the best course of action at the moment would be to find out what a weather-less/drizzle-less/whatever metagame is like, because all we can do right now, all we are doing right now, is theorymoning, and you cannot base an argument off of theorymon. Maybe this means suspecting it, or...
  8. Victim of the Week: Week 6, Volcarona

    I honestly think that Heatran is by far the best counter to Jirachi. Other than the rare SupeRachi carrying Hidden power ground, it counters every set. Heatran takes abysmal damage from both Iron head and Body slam. The only other offensive move that standard Jirachi uses is fire punch...
  9. Offensive rain RMT

    Bump? I've changed the team a bunch, so I think I'm allowed to do this.
  10. the Hydra

    Hey! Instead of doing a proper rate, I'm just gonna kind of critique the ideology behind the team, and point out a few nitpicky things: First of all, Hydreigon is slow. If you ever want it to sweep, you need to spread paralysis. The idea of eliminating it's threats and things that are faster...
  11. Offensive rain RMT

    I think that we have very different opinions when it comes to what substitute is useful for. It's not just about eliminating status and defensive playing, it's about prediction, and not wasting life orb recoil. For example. Say that I have Tornadus-T in on a Blissey. The Blissey is at 60%, which...
  12. Offensive rain RMT

    Thanks for the rate! I'm actually not running Stealth rocks on Landorus, although I agree that a spinblocker would be helpful if I were. Thanks again! Thanks for the rate! I actually noticed my massive Rotom-W weakness just before reading your post, and I agree that Latias is an excellent...
  13. Offensive rain RMT

    Okay, so I've been testing out everything that you guys suggested, and here's what I found. Jirachi was kind of just dead weight on my team. The easy SR and paralysis spreading was nice, but overall, I found it to be kind of useless and ended up sacking it a lot. Maybe this is because I'm...
