  1. Dragon Types in UU

    Hustle Zweilous packs a huge punch (Its attack can get higher than Haxorus'), but not learning Hone Claws or even Dragon Claw is a huge blow. Its outrage absolutely rapes the metagame though, and a scarf, wide lens or eviolite set could possibly work quite well in the metagame, especially with...
  2. np: UU Suspect Test Round 1 - Sunny Days

    There's nothing Chansey can do against a 101HP substitute, and many, many pokemon in UU that can take great advantage of them (Stallrein comes to mind).
  3. Smogon University PO Statistics — April 2011

    Rated Dream World Usage Stats | 251 | Butterfree | 510 | 0.2540 | | 252 | Entei | 495 | 0.2465 | | 253 | Blaziken | 478 | 0.2381 | Dream world looks really interesting for other reasons though. I'm seeing pokemon that people have called "broken"...
  4. np: OU Suspect Testing Round 3 - So Long and Thanks for all the Fish

    If we ban snow cloak, will that make Beartic an uber?
  5. What aren't we writing about? (Pokemon unfit for OU Analyses)

    Stunfisk is a beastly tank and isn't outclassed by anything. Evo stone scyther also looks very, very powerful and will probably be BL'd at the very least.
  6. Challenge Nuzlocke Challenge

    There should be a mention in the OP of limiting saves. Being able to simply restart from a save whenever a pokemon dies is really taking away a lot of the difficulty and tension. A rule that I always follow (even in normal games) is that I am not allowed to turn the gameboy off without saving. I...
  7. Most Underrated Pokémon of Generation 5

    Mew and Latios are UU on the PO server IIRC, so probably them. Bisharp looks like it could very well be a major player in the Uber tier. At very least it's a hard Mewtwo counter. There's not much Lugia and Giratina can do about it either, and with good prediction you can get an SD on the switch...
  8. Ask a Simple Question, Get a Simple Answer - Read FAQ in First Post Before Asking

    Are tiers going to outlined any time soon? I understand why standard probably won't get any soon (as every new released DW pokemon can significantly change the metagame), but what's stopping Dream World from getting tiered up?

    I understand the OHKO ban for luck reliance reasons, but why can't they do it by changing the base accuracy to 0 instead of banning the moves outright? There's no luck involved in strategies like Mind Reader+Sheer Cold Articuno or having a Machamp Partner in doubles, and they were clearly...
  10. Pokémon Minus - Street Pokémon with Mimic Glitch Allowed

    If you don't outspeed CS Jolly Machamp and you aren't sturdy, you won't survive on the street.
  11. np: OU Suspect Testing Round 2 - Who am I to break tradition?

    Switch Dusknoir in on a High Jump Kick and Shadow Sneak the other 50% away. I suppose that's a Blaziken Counter, but it requires prediction (not very difficult prediction though).
  12. Eviolite

    Also, Max Def Impish Scyther is a beast. One time it survived a Heracross' stone edge and KOd it with aerial ace (it may have roosted the previous turn, I'm not sure). It's probably not strategically optimal, but that scyther has got me quite a few wins, many of them ragequits. In fact, that...
  13. Eviolite

    Base Stats Interesting Facts (rounding decimal stats, with stone when possible) Porygon 2: 85/80/152/105/159/60 (128/128) Registeel: 80/75/150/75/150/50 Scyther: 70/110/130/55/130/105 (16/16) Uxie: 75/75/130/75/130/95 Magmar: 65/95/95/100/136/93 (0/0) Articuno...

    Again, is there a spreadsheet with all 649 pokemon on it?
  15. The 5th Gen Gimmick Team: Assist + Dragon Tail

    Damn, gamefreak saw it coming. Could someone test overhead throw? I doubt it would work, but maybe with the whole ghost immunity thing it might. If so the only pokemon who are immune to that are weak to thief (or leperadusu's STAB dark attacks for a single cat team), so it's still viable...
  16. The 5th Gen Gimmick Team: Assist + Dragon Tail

    Persian and Purugly are also good candidates for other assisters. Persian gets technician on the dragon tail, purugly has decent attack, and they're both damn fast. For the weavile set, it would be worth adding Thief for a decently strong STAB attack. Ambipom gets technician covet, so...
  17. Ask a Simple Question, Get a Simple Answer - Read FAQ in First Post Before Asking

    Could I have a link to a spreadsheet with all 649 pokemon on it? The one in the sticky only has B/W pokemon, and no dream world abilities or base stats for NFE pokemon.
  18. Prankster

    The problem there is it that assist has a 50% chance of using spikes or stealth rock, and during that time you're vulnerable (or they could put a sub up and ruin you). Dragon tail and dragon tail alone is probably the best option on such a team. Also Weavile is the fastest user of assist, and it...
  19. Scrafty

    This guy looks like it should have been Dragon/Fighting Speaking of which, Dragon Tail could be quite useful on it, with those defenses.
  20. Gigigear

    Gigear with pre-evo stone would probably do a better job with the support set, trading some attack and speed for much better defenses (it doesn't lose any HP) And you know a pokemon's movepool sucks when it doesn't learn any physical attacks for any type other than Steel and Normal (other...
