yes cloysters typing sucks. i agree. im just using it because smogon***s rage at the site of it.
also, give e-vire a balloon. and he has no weaknesses. something choiced into a ground move is forced to switch. giving either a free hit or a free setup. might want to consider using that.

as for ice types. why no mamoswine mention?
i think balloons will be extremely situational as they require a good read on your opponent or good switch play to avoid losing it

Ice is like the worst typing ever, especially for part-water types.

Cloyster will only ever be good again once skarmory has a sudden attack of amnesia and forgets how to lay spikes+stealth rock and half the sweepers in the game get neutered.
This this a thousand times this.

Mamoswine's STAB doesn't make up for the fact that it's slow. It's movepool is also not stellar either.

well yeah its a little slow, still theres always the choice scarf option.
ice is disgraceful as a typing, defensively it only resists itself and has like, 5 weaknesses uncluding to stealth rock and all that crap. really it should be resistant to water and grass or at least some resistances XD

as for balloon, i meant if you notice somethnig which is obviously choiced into a ground move you can bring it in. also with a balloon its immune to both ground and electric. also entry hazards and status moves dont pop the balloon, only direct attacks, so iuf you expect something to use a status (like some kind of tank, or a skarmory mainly)

Gives the holder immunity to Ground-type moves, but pops when the holder is attacked. Indirect damage will not pop the balloon, and neither will Ground-type moves used against the holder. The holder is also not affected by Spikes or Toxic Spikes. The balloon will not work if Gravity is in effect.

no electric immunity, unless you ment the pokemon holding it

I still maintain that evire sucks. his speed sucks unless you get motor drive to work, which is just a dumb gimmick, and he cant sweep well enough to avoid the 87978655456678962 pokemon out there that are running earthquake. if you scarf him, he's just gonna get stuck in a dumb move and wont take out more than one poke. trust me I used to think he was good. now I know better.

Mack is terrible at Brawl.

Peace.
wise rookie XD

what i meant is that motor drive evire is immune to electricity, so hes immune to that and ground if he has a balloon.
ive seen many a heatran using a balloon. and i may attach one to my magnezone. the possible ground move read is worth the immunity. i would use balloon evire, that is if i ever found a reasoon to have it, id always choose magnezone over it, because its bulky enough not to need the speed, and stops most steel types dead

I had no intention of hiding how mad Willz made me. I was helping him with his new account and he just started trolling me like he isnt in the palm of my hand.

why do you care Calz? ur still gonna make a profit.

Kmac, theres one on the 5th confirmed, but also very likely to be one on the 26th. I would advise you book your travel asap to reduce costs.
