Ausgezeichnet.. Ok, I clearly need to practice my German more often! However I found the warstory to be quite enjoyable, unlike others of the same style. More or less, most of the predictions were quite spot on and the format was easy to follow.

Venomoth @ Leftovers EVs: 8 HP/ 252 Sp. Atk/ 248 Spd (HP Fire) EVs: 4 HP/ 252 Sp. Atk/ 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) Ability: Tinted Lens ° Substitute ° Sleep Powder ° HP Fire / Bug Buzz ° Baton Pass Strategy behind it: One of the best shots of seeing Venomoth being used in OU is as a...

Thanks to bookmarking the discussion index, it's possible to be exposed to these things. Anyways, I loved this certain quote from an old conversation(which I was not part of) about why Jynx didn't get an evo:

Either Taunt or Sub Mismagius, 105 base speed is pretty cool. Taunt stops most Blissey and annoying stuff like Sleep or most Paralysis moves but fails against Thunderbolt/Ice Beam. However, Sub helps maggie defend against status(period) and pursuiters like Weavile or Tyranitar. I've pretty much...

I find that I can't really depend on physical walls too much, so I use some of my sweepers to take the hits when they can. It usually goes like this: 3 sweepers(physical, mixed, special) and 2 walls and 1 sleep talker. Heracross actually takes the last spot and does a wonderful job.

*ahem*, Rock and Fighting is also resisted by Nidoking/Nidoqueen and the previously mentioned Claydol. This next guy who I am going to talk about, also resists that combination. I forgot who did this, but they get credit for it. Gallade w/ Life Orb EVs: 76 HP / 216 Atk / 176 Spd / 40 Sp Atk...

Don't we already have a topic that is similar to this one? Anyways, I love using Jynx. [Player 2] switches in [special wall] mindlessly but is met by Mean Look followed by Lovely Kiss, and it all goes down from there with Perish Song. Timid Jynx has just enough speed to outspeed those who sit...

Adding to my list is Sub Gengar.. I tried one out for myself and it just works really well. Focus Punch 2HKOs Blissey with the correct EV investment and she can't Ice Beam you if she's Tormented. Although you lose a lot of Special Attack EVs to pull it off.

Rest means Dugtrio might get a free switch-in and it would have more than enough time to KO blissey because she'd be stuck to using Rest over and over again or even Thunder/bolt. NEUTRAL Nature Dugtrio's Choice Band EQ does 53.99% - 63.50%to Blissey with those IVs and Nature, and she doesn't...

^That's what I had thought, but I actually proved how dumb I was just now.. xD On a test Zapdos, I just used two rare candies to get to level 52, checked the HP and got Fire 65. Then I used the rest to get to 56 and got HP Fighting 60.. I don't know who to believe.. =\ edit: On another test...

Do the legendary birds have their Hidden Power set when you first start the game? It's so odd that the natures and IVs change, yet every Zapdos I've caught thus far has had HP Fighting. Am I stuck with that for good? Or is this another instance of a rushed release?

Off-topic but Double Dragon is a reference to a late 80's to early 90's game, but I won't say name your dragonite "Bolo". Of course this set isn't anything new http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=536148&postcount=14 but it's nice to bring it up at least.

^I second the Mismagius notion, but I didn't get to try the Perish Song trap set. One thing I really underestimated was Choice Scizor. He got some new moves to help him deal out the pain. CB X-scissor is a 2HKO on max/max beneficial nature Cresselia and with the same item Brick Break comes...

This battle is all the more reason I should try out Anger Point Tauros in the BT. I'd fear that Return would miss against something holding Brightpowder though. anyways.. it was a well-written story, that I really enjoyed reading. So you win in that regard.

Truly, yes, it is great. The expression on its face, and the tilted eyebrow just screams badass. by the way You should put your signature on it for completeness sake.

While it was a nice story, it's sad that Tentacruel and Slowking did not receive any action, but that's partly his fault for not using a single special attacker. the small ocmmentary on the side was a nice touch though

I'm probably going to avoid the mony drop on the Wii system, I'm fine with my little DS.. for now. I'm going with the last option. If I get enough money from working my ass off, I'll get to reap the rewards later.

Don't forget Raikou. Phione is not going to do crap to him as he Calm Mind, but that's my opinion. I don't know, I feel like Phione should never have been. It's cute and everything, but so much more useless than Manaphy because of Tail Glow. I think I'd personally go with the 2nd set there...

Poison/Dark is not a bad typing, but it isn't great either. As much as I want to use Drapion, he just does not seem appealing to me. CH is his best option I think, but wow, look at that support movepool. 'Tis a shame he did not get Baton Pass. If you add Taunt, he will not be subject to...

Does the Synchronizer trick work in FR/LG on the running legendaries(Entei, Raikou, Suicune)? If no, I'll have to resort to trading, or worse, playing through Colosseum again. shudder..
