if we're going to split hairs, you also didn't include chansey

but wishpassing is either "it's big enough" or "it's too small to cover gengar's crotch"

Fair enough.

I have a confession to make: I rather despise Event Pokémon/Moves that are commonly used (the 3rd Gen Wish Event is the biggest offender). I understand that these moves are useful, particularly on these specific Pokémon, but they're basically unobtainable. I don't have a problem with the moves on the Pokémon themselves, but it's their availability that gets me. In other words, Wish Chansey/Blissey bugs me to no end.

I also don't like using Legendaries for the same reason, but as most of them are reasonable to get, I'm not completely opposed to them.

His comment seemed to imply that Hydreigon would get off a Focus Blast BEFORE taking an attack from Excadrill, which (in my mind) meant that he was say that Scarf Hydreigon would outspeed Excadrill.

My bad.

Poor wording on my part. I meant if I predicted the Excadrill switch-in. Then, all that junk.

I feel weird being in here. I don't really discuss too much competitive Pokemon stuff. So while I know what people are talking about (from experience in fighting said Pokemon) I really don't know how to add an input without looking stupid.

Yeah, same here. I just read most of the time, it gets pretty interesting hearing about all the different types of competitive teams and the best Pokemon for the job.

 

[John2k4]

That's why I stay away from a lot of the competetive things too...Pokemon's mainly a casual game for me.

 

[Exceladon City]

Well, I run a dualtype team (Water/Dark) and I've been doing alright with it on PO. I have some pretty silly weaknesses but I've made do with what I have. I finally figured out how to make my Jellicent a bit more troll-y. Although, I'm considering just axing the Speed EVs because Jellicent isn't meant to outspeed anything - not with 60 base speed. So, the EVs I put down are going to be the new ones.

Jellicent:
-Bold
-Leftovers
-252 Defense/252 HP/4 Speed

Attacks:
-Toxic
-Scald
-Taunt
-Recover

I've been trying to find a way to give Jellicent the ability to poison and burn without sacking anything super useful. Scald can burn and still do damage. This gets rid of my Jirachi problem...sorta. Toxitaunt does what it does best - crippling everything else that isn't resistant to poison i.e Steel types and other Poison types.

 

[kirbyraeg]

That's like, the best set on jellicent ever <3

The thing is you might want to try running more Speed EVs so you aren't beaten to the Taunt by something else. a spread like 252/96/160 so you can reliably beat stuff like Skarmory, defensive Politoed, and Vaporeon to the punch at the expense of being unable to wall as many threats.

Really? Has nobody else thought of that? If so, I'm a little bit hyped. I'll try that EV spread.

People actually hard-switch to Excadrill? Wtf that's so weird.

I can't figure out why anyone would ever want to hard-switch to a Pokemon who plays the roles of revenge killer and late-game sweeper so well, especially when said Pokemon has subpar defenses. It just doesn't make sense.

 

[UltiMario]

I also don't like using Legendaries for the same reason, but as most of them are reasonable to get, I'm not completely opposed to them.

Due to 5th Gen's change in how IVs/Natures are calculated, it's significantly easier to get perfect legendaries. Just saying.

 

[Kofu]

I have no idea how the IVs/Natures are calculated, so you're going to have to explain that one. :V

 

[UltiMario]

They're just calculated a bit differently now, and independently of each other.

In Gens III and IV, you couldn't get a perfect IV and Nature combo for most combination of the two since they were calculated with the same, and rather haphazardly. You couldn't get perfect IVs and a nature that wasn't modest because the hidden rules wouldn't allow it, it was just how wild Pokemon IV and Nature calculations worked.

The Nature calculations and IV calculations were separated in Gen V, allowing legendaries and anything not bred to have any combination of IVs and Nature.

 

[Kofu]

I knew the first part, but didn't realize the calculations are separate now.

Couldn't bred Pokémon also have any combination, though?

 

[UltiMario]

Bred Pokemon were always able to have any combination. Wild Pokemon couldn't.

This is why Legendaries with good IVs and Nature were so hard to get in past Gens. Now that's a bit better.

 

[Xubble]

Shinies. We all love em. What's the coolest shiny you ever encountered and/or caught?

I lost my Diamond save a while back. I was so pissed about it. When I restarted after about a week of not playing, I ended up getting a shiny Piplup on the very first try. Made me soooooo happy. ^_^

 

[Sapphire Dragon]

Mmmmmmmmm shinies. Love them too much.

I have an Ekans and Noctowl on my original Silver, I'm pretty sure I had a couple others but I can't remember. I have a shiny Dragonair from FireRed (yes, caught it as a Dratini in the Safari Zone, feels good man) and a shiny Stantler from Soul Silver.

 

[Circa]

Shiny Bidoof. I named her Fergie. :3

Actually my favorite one was the Gloom I got in Diamond. It was my first. And then oddly enough, when I played Pokemon Rumble the first "shiny" I got was Gloom as well. <.<

 

[Wave⁂]

Shiny Missingno, noobs.

 

[Sapphire Dragon]

^Win

I want to play Pokemon Rumble. Rumble Blast doesn't have shinies, sadly. I wish it did

 

[Surri-Sama]

[UltiMario]

Postbit tournaments.

Also:
Shinies: Cyndaquil, Zubat, Dragonair, Giratina
THE ONE THAT ****ING EXPLODED: Graveler

 

[Sapphire Dragon]

Oh yeah, forgot. The one I almost got was a shiny Goldeen in FireRed's Safari Zone but it fled.

 

[asianaussie]

shiny nidoran female in leafgreen safari zone

two rocks, one ball, it is now a nidoqueen (quiet nature but who cares lol)

i am the greatest

 

[Sapphire Dragon]

I think I only threw bait at Dratini. Then I just spammed balls and prayed.

 

[Surri-Sama]

hah thanks, i actually traded "clams" from whyville many years ago for it lol (dont ask about whyville lol)

 

[UltiMario]

Quiet actually isn't a terrible nature for Nidoqueen.

Not the best, but definitely not the worst.

 

[asianaussie]

mm, i EV'd it in HP and SpA

Ice Beam
Thunderbolt
Crunch (because I felt like it)
Superpower

 

[Exceladon City]

I am really starting to hate dealing with Politoed.

 

[Deleted member]

Shiny Missingno, noobs.

If only...

I hatched a shiny Lucario in Platinum. He's my pride and joy. <3

 

[Xubble]

My shiny Empoleon is Jolly, so I kiiiinda have to run a Swords Dance set. >_>

My very first shiny was a Gyarados in Crystal a Pidgey in FireRed. I flipped **** when it showed up. "OMG SHINY PIDGAAAAAAAAAY!!!"

I have a shiny Dragonite on HeartGold with ExtremeSpeed. He's my favorite. ^_^

 

[UltiMario]

I am really starting to hate dealing with Politoed.

Then run SpD Ferrothorn.

Free Spikes every time Toed comes in.

 

[Exceladon City]

Well, I'm running a dualtype Water/Dark team. It's mainly just Politoed leads and ****ING TOXICROAK!! I just don't want to eat up a slot by adding Golduck to cancel out Drizzle once Politoed is gone.

 

[Xubble]

So use Rayquaza. I heard he's pretty good.

 

[The Real Gamer]

Dood Ubers is all about Kyogre and Arceus.

Spoiler

and ferrothorn

 

[Wave⁂]

Shedinja and Quagsire, too

 

[Xubble]

Ariados, the Darkrai Slayer.

 

[Gamegenie222]

Need that Thunderus as well. Also the only legit shiny pokemon that I found was a shiny Linoone in the Ruby Battle tower in my first Ruby game which sucks hard for me, a Shiny Duskull that my friend has now as a shiny Dusknoir from my first Ruby but too bad the nature sucks. A shiny Pinser in the bug catching contest in gold version that was paralyzed got a critical hit with Vicegrip on my Mareep before I caught it and tears came that day, a Shiny Clampear which I found in my Second Ruby with a Naive nature and good Speed Iv's is now a Shiny Huntail on my rain team in my Heart Gold and a shiny Raticate I found in my Heart Gold as well while Ev training for speed too bad the nature sucks.
