  1. Combinations...AGAIN?!!!

    [Lucario@ Life Orb, ES/ CC / IcePunch or Crunch/ SD + Weavile @ Life Orb or Choice Band or Expert Belt, Ice Shard or Ice Punch / Brick Break/ Pursuit/ Night Slash] [Offensive Strategy] [A pretty easy to undertand offensive combo. There's pretty much no need to introduce Lucario, as this...
  2. Putting an end to the slippery slope

    When I see someone use the Law of Modus Ponens in a debate on pokemon maybe then I'll consider 'logical fallacies.' I have no idea how this thread ended up as the 'let's ban Garchomp thread'... IMO there seems to be a big schism between Garchomp haters and lovers. If people are so...
  3. Putting an end to the slippery slope

    There has been a recent slew of topics concerning the viability of the 600 level Ubers in the OU metagames. Although I could discuss this in each of those topics separately, individually, they may not be overwhelming threats to OU metagame, but taken together, they constitute a large...
  4. OU combos

    Type Numer of weakness Fire 17 Ice 14 Grass 10 Electric 10 Ground 10 Ghost 10 Fighting 10 Flying 10 Bug 10 Dark 9 Rock 9 Water 8 Psychic 5 Steel 4 Dragon 4 Poison 2 Normal 0 So THIS is why Heatran is such an important pokemon in defensive combos... You should take account STAB and move...
  5. Wait... Garchomp's uncounterable?

    The only problem with saying that Garchomp has a counter is that most skilled players keep their Garchomp in the shadows until they are sure that the counters are out of the way or weakened before striking. Even then Yache berry screws over many would be counters, such as Hippowdon. It can...
  6. Lets actually talk about Mew in OU...

    Why do ppl think Garchomp, Pursuit T-tar, Weavile are better than Mew. Mew can barrier/bulk up and Softboiled/Roost in their face. Even Celebii's leech seed doesn't provide the walling power that Mew does. Garchomp's unboosted EQ's do around 25-30% to Mew. It's too good for OU. A defensive Mew...
  7. Why is Blissey so popular?

    http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38790 It's been done to death.
  8. Centered Teams

    I'll repeat what everyone said because it's a pretty major point: Don't focus on one pokemon for sweeping (not even Garchomp). I've done the same thing before, by trying to force a smeargle BP to Salamence. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Look for successful teams on the RMT section...
  9. Trick Roomer Boomer

    I like TR teams so I'll help you with this one: One of the cardinal rules of TRing is to be prepared for when TR isn't up as the 5 turns go VERY quickly. As such, standard SD/CC/ES/Crunch Lucario bones you pretty bad. While Cress and Uxie can take a CC, they can't do anything back to Lucario...
  10. Gastrodon: not just a poor man's Swampert! *Warstory*

    lol at Blissey switching in on your Lucario without knowing it's moveset. That guy is either stupid or psychic. Or maybe he know your MS already? 0.o
  11. Random Dice Roll Team

    If you want to play in the UU, go here http://www.smogon.com/dp/tiers/uu. Take out Tangrowth, Slowbro and Magmortar, and replace them with one of the pokes from the list. Anybody can choose 6 random pokes and put them on a team. If you are serious about battles take a look at the pokes and...
  12. What Wall Breakers do YOU use?

    One word: WOBBUFFET. The blue penis gets the job done.
  13. Can someone explain the life orb tyranitar set to me?

    This t-tar doesn't really break Cresselia, unless stone edge gets a crit.
  14. imperfect luck (fucked)

    Looks like a solid offensive team. Great typing synergy and I like how you 'counter' the common counters. I don't know the numbers for t-tar with outrage. Skarmory/Bronzong walls your Chomp, Gross and T-tar quite well. Consider using fire blast for T-tar or Fire fang over Stone Edge (what are...
  15. Stantler Surprise...

    It does over 9000 damage to Blissey just for being Stantler.
  16. What? You want to use Trick Room?

    I like this set, Why use curse though, WoW seems to work much better and you're not killing yourself.
  17. April statistics from Shoddy Battle are up

    They are still going to be popular, grass Arceus counters Kyogre, but not Dialga (4x STAB resist), fight Arceus counters Diagla but not Kyogre. I haven't used Arceus yet in uber battle, but I'm pretty sure that he's going straight to #1 for his shear versatility in stats and type. The Mexican...
  18. April statistics from Shoddy Battle are up

    If you want standardization, wait til Arceus makes its godly debut. He's your tank/sweeper/wall/everything all in one. I can already imagine: Kyogre, Arceus, Dialga + 3 random pokes making 90% of the teams in the ubers.
  19. Offense vs. Defense ; A Warstory

    That was a really close and exciting game. If I only Dusknoir were your sleep talker instead of Gyara, things might have been different... well played by both sides!
  20. Strange but working idea =D.

    Not quite chain chomp level of ownage, but I like, very creative. the 3/10 teams that beat it might have been using Celebi as their counter, possibly. I always find it a decent switch, especially CM versions.
