It is?!

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #5602 on:** December 13, 2013, 12:53:16 AM

Ground resists Rock, while Flying is weak to Rock... So they cancel each other, Rock is neutral damage.

I seriously had no idea Ground resisted Rock, that just never occurred to me at all especially since Rock is neutral to Rock.

Now you know!

As for your team... If you really fear weaknesses, just go coverage. For instant... Goodra can tank Fire, and deal back SE Water. As for Rock... Hmm...

Sakura Leic · **Reply #5605 on:** December 13, 2013, 01:08:25 AM

I'm still really tempted to put Escavalier in there.

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #5606 on:** December 13, 2013, 02:14:52 AM

... I know! Chain breed Drill Run onto Escavalier!

Nah I don't really need that since Gliscor has Earthquake and Escavalier is so slow that it wouldn't be worth it.

Besides the job of Escavalier is to stall other Pokemon with Toxic and Infestation and kill Fairies since he has quad resistance to them plus he has Megahorn for STAB. The reason that Escavalier has this job specifically because his only weakness is Fire and he has bulk on both defenses which not a lot of Pokemon have.

I would normally not even put Galvantula on such a team but with Sticky Web it can function, I would probably have to resort to making it a lead and Focus Sashing it. I would like something that can have Stealth Rock if I can.

Also need to decide on a Water Type, though I'm tempted to bring in my Milotic from Soul Silver. I'm also heavily considering Tyranitar.

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #5608 on:** December 13, 2013, 02:39:05 AM

Technically, Fairy resist Bug, so stick with Iron Head.

Well yeah of course he has Iron Head, he wouldn't kill Fairies if he didn't. Also [tornado fang] I can't get Tyrantarite in Y!

Quickman · **Reply #5610 on:** December 13, 2013, 02:43:51 AM

I use ubers, so my team would be banned.

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #5611 on:** December 13, 2013, 02:44:17 AM

Stay away from Tyranitar. He's powerful and all, but that Sand Stream can still work against you, even if it's restricted to 5 turns now. Plus the way you hyped up Escavalier with STAB Megahorn sounded like that was your way to kill Fairies.

Quickman · **Reply #5612 on:** December 13, 2013, 02:46:15 AM

I'll have to check Smogon and see if Runaway is banned. Knowing my luck, he probably is!

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #5613 on:** December 13, 2013, 02:48:04 AM

Nah, he's at most a Glass Cannon. Not sure on Mega though... Then again, he scratches himself.

HE SHOULD BE BANNED TO SAVE THE PRESCHOOLERS

Quickman · **Reply #5614 on:** December 13, 2013, 02:49:22 AM

They didn't even see his Mega form. They were flattened by Runaway using a weak-ass move, which I later replaced.

No Megahorn is to deal with everything else. Besides if I do consider Tyranitar I'll try to wait until the other half of my team that can be hurt by Sandstorm dies. I honestly like him because I think he can function on the team and has Stealth Rock and he's kind of unique.

The only Mega that they are actually considering banning is Mega Gengar and probably Mega Blaziken because they think Speed Boost Blaziken is almighty so therefore Mega Blaziken is God.

And technically Mewtwo is not banned by Smogon rules, he's just Uber.

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #5616 on:** December 13, 2013, 02:56:04 AM

Mega Blaziken is ARCEUS!?

WHAT ARE THOSE PEOPLE SMOKING
ARCEUS IS ARCEUS, MEGA BLAZIKEN IS MEGA BLAZIKEN

Quickman · **Reply #5617 on:** December 13, 2013, 02:56:57 AM

Ah, okay.

On the team front, I taught Pierce Rock Smash, which replaced False Swipe. That was mainly out of necessity as I needed to smash some rocks, and dumping my HM slave into the box wasn't an option. I also needed to keep Mewtwo out due to his Shadow Ball, and Runaway stuck around to deal with dragons.

Okay actually they just quick banned Blaziken and Deoxys-N from X and Y OU, whatever a quick ban means. They are still considering quick banning Gengarite because you can't prepare for Mega Gengar since he has Shadow Tag. At least that's what they are saying but honestly I never cared about what Smogon thinks, Florges is amazing.

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #5619 on:** December 13, 2013, 03:04:59 AM

Can't prepare for Mega Gengar? That's like saying you can't prepare for Wobbuffet! Oh wait. Wobbuffet's BANNED too.

Anyways, a random question on the Champions.
Blue, Lance, Steven, Wallace, Cynthia, Alder, Iris, Diantha.
How would you rank them all?

Actually by their standards Wobuffet can function in OU and Uber.

In fact Wobuffet was only banned from unofficial tournaments until Gen 4 because of the scenario of having 2 Wobuffets facing each other in battle and having Leftovers would result in an endless battle. This changed in Gen 4 because they changed the mechanics of Shadow Tag so if 2 Pokemon have Shadow Tag and are facing each other either one can switch out or flee and they changed Struggle so it wouldn't be healed by Leftovers forever.

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #5623 on:** December 13, 2013, 03:20:54 AM

And thus, therein lies a controversial way to deal with Mega Gengar. *sage nods*

Quickman · **Reply #5624 on:** December 13, 2013, 03:40:03 AM

Just bought the Blastoisenite for $10,000.

"This is one of the special power stones that I squeeze and jiggle and warm in my own hands!"

...Didn't need to know that, thanks.
