On another note' date=' OU's are good for a reason. Many have large movepools and/or good stats. Although many non-OU's can work in OU, they must be specifically tailored to their position. For example, P2 was moved to NU, since in order to counter Gyara and Mence, it must be specifically EV'd for that and thus becomes a anti-meta card better suited for the side deck than being played since Gyara is falling in popularity.

No on can say UU pokemon can do what OU pokemon can. I just don't like how some people think that a pokemon that isn't OU can't be used their.

 

P2 can counter a few more pokemon granted most would need to be choiced.

 

 

On a third note' date=' everyone and their dog is naming their Mence "BadRoMence" Let's make something better. GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO!

What's with all the flying forts. Really, they've been used so much in pokemon movies.

 

Side from that looks cool.

[Ģค๓blє]

Well... I've got a decent team running now. I'll wait for a DS Battle to reveal it, but so far I'm 5-0 (w-l) in Shoddy.

 

xD In Platinum, I went in the Snowpoint PC... xD The Psyduck talked to me like Lady Gaga!

 

"Gaga Guwawa"

[Ģค๓blє]

Yesterday I bought a used Pokemon Diamond from Blockbuster. This was mainly in hopes of finding a great collection of Pokemon. This was a failed project, so I began a new game. My "main" team. I'm only going to include the Pokemon I bothered to train. Keep in mind, I'm not EVing them for a simple gameplay. This game will not be used for that.

You have 3 DDancers, and from my experience, that isn't the best idea. I'd add a special wall to soak up some hits, because you do have three sweepers. But good you included 'Tress, because you got some Stealth Rock weak Pokes. Another thing... SubLiechi Gyara? Haven't seen one of those in a loooooooooooong time.

 

Forget this existed, actually.

 

@ Flame Dragon: Gyarados (Liopleurodon)

 

I love you for that nickname.

[Zeroshot]

Pokemon: Gyarados (Liopleurodon)

 

How did you manage that name?

I thought nicknames only allowed 10 characters.

[Dark]

It's on ShoddyBattle, so iirc they allow for 15 characters.

[Eury]

So like, I just got Giratina from the Arceus Event. <3

RRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

 

They broke their cycle of using gems. D:

 

The should have made it like Obsidian and Quartz Version or something. :/

[EliminateHRN]

Black and White? I like the names.

 

I haven't been playing Diamond that much, but I decided earlier this week to restart my game. I'm currently at the entrance to Eterna Forest (spelling?). Here's my team.

 

[spoiler=My Diamond Team]

Batty the Zubat

Lv. 21, Naive,

Wing Attack, Confuse Ray,

Astonish, Bite

 

Dryad the Grotle

Lv. 21, Sassy,

Tackle, Curse,

Absorb, Razor Leaf

 

Lightning the Luxio

Lv. 21, Careful,

Tackle, Spark,

Charge, Bite

 

Chucky the HM Slave Bidoof

 

 

That's my team. I know I need better moves. So help with moves and stuff is appreciated. Also, do natures actually matter in-game? I'm just curious. So any suggestions on my Diamond team?

[Astro Dude]

How do you guys know these things? Anyway, maybe they'll be a Wii pokemon game that allows you to customize your trainer and battle the Gym leaders and Elite four of the first four generations. What do you think?

[Aximil]

Forget this existed, actually.

 

Well, which of my sweepers should I take out of the team for a special wall? I DO NOT WANT BLISSEY!

[Eury]

So like, I want to get into competitive battling. Right now all I know is what tiers are and what Pokemon are in what tier. I still don't understand the Sweeper stuff. Also, what tier would you guys recommend to a newbie like me?

[Astro Dude]

Black and White? I like the names.

Have you been caring for your Zubat. In most of my games, if I'm lucky, I evolve my Zubat into Golbat at Level 22 and Golbat would evolve into Crobat one level after if my Golbat trusts me a LOT!
