  1. Attack of the Pranksters

    I approve of this battle, because it had Murkrow in it. That thing is amazing ;) But great warstory; interesting teams and a good battle made for an enjoyable read. Your commentary especially (though crude at times) it was quite reflective of what you were going through in the battle, and it...

  5. CAP 13 CAP 2 - Part 4 - Stat Limits

    Poor/Below Average SS wouldn't really lend itself towards the 'somewhat balanced bulky offense style'. For comparison, Beautifly gets Quiver Dance; its Special Sweepiness lies in the 'Above Average' range, yet it is barely seen, even in NU. Though it is significantly less bulky than Sketchy will...
  6. CAP 13 CAP 2 - Part 4 - Stat Limits

    Looking at Deck Knight's table, we really shouldn't be advocating anything above Above Average for both PS and SS; access to Shell Smash means a 'Good' or even 'Very Good' limit on either sweepiness stat will either give Sketchy a ridiculous speed stat to work with or a ridiculous attacking stat...
  7. CAP 13 CAP 2 - Part 3 - Threats Discussion

    The problem with discussing 'Threats' for Sketchy is that its sketched move will be chosen to check as many of these threats as possible. Problem with Dragonite? Use Ice Beam/Punch. Heatran? Use insert EQ/Earth Power/Aura Sphere etc. Additionally, because of its ability to use Spore, it can...
  8. Ask a Simple Question, Get a Simple Answer Mark II - Read the FAQ in the Opening Post

    In Pokemon Dream World when you have two areas unlocked, what is the chance of being sent to either of them? Ie: a 50/50 chance or is there an outside factor?
  9. np: OU Suspect Testing Round 5 - Sandstorm (Excadrill/Thundurus Banned)

    One of the better checks to Excadrill, I've found is Rock Polish Landorus. As long as they don't have Frustration/Return, you can switch in and proceed to set up a Rock Polish, outspeeding them and hitting back hard for the KO. The problem being you've named four moves, whereas almost all...
  10. np: UU Suspect Test Round 2 - Cold As Ice

    After reading through this thread and playing a handful of matches myself, I am agreeing with the consensus that Smashpass teams are ridiculously broken; nothing short of prankster haze or an early roar can stop them. If your hazer/roarer is gone, then gg. Quiverpass teams are almost as...
  11. Murkrow

    I've been running Physically Bulky Featherdance Murkrow on my teams; it is a godsend to almost any physical attacker. Featherdance, TWave and Roost off damage.
  12. CAP 10 CAP 10 - Sprite Submissions

    It's a nice pose, but the shading is all wrong and makes it look really bright. It looks as if it has light shining on it from the top AND the bottom.
  13. CAP 10 Cap 10 - Part 5d - Secondary Ability Poll

    I voted Intimidate again, but i would not mind either Filter/Solid Rock or Poison Heal winning, as they both take this CAP in positive directions. I am however strongly against Magic Guard as an ability, I believe a pokemon with decent attacking stats and defences will be almost broken with an...
