I checked EVER trash can I came across ... nothing.

Why GF?!?

[HovaHovito]

Teams of

Mewtwo, Xerneas, Garchomp, Blaziken, Talonflame, Yveltal

Are just not interesting to fight. Pretty much every passerby that has challenged me has had this kind of set up or similar.

I hate that
People always use legendaries and ots so lame

 

[HovaHovito]

A vaporeon just took a shit on my gogoat
I failed

 

[Otakumegane]

Outrage is great because of Fairy, if they switch in it gets canceled and you don't get the aftereffects

But it's locked the 1st so the fairys can setup or status like Fairies do.

 

[SeZMehK]

I am home for those that were going to trade for my 3/4/5 IV ralts.

 

[Gsnap]

looking for breeding rejects in the forms of:

- Mawile
- Larvitar
- Gible (w/ Outrage)
- Gligar
- Abra/Staryu/Swinub
- Carbink

PM me if you have any of these guys please!

I could get you a mawile or two. I should have some 3-4 IV ones lying around.

 

[Regiruler]

My team is the best.
Pikachu, Flareon, Carbink, Goodra, and Mawile.

Can you say EARTHQUAKE?

A vaporeon just took a shit on my gogoat

Doesn't Vaporeon have rediculous defensive bulk with decent Sp Attack while gogoat is fairly fragile?

 

[theprodigy]

But it's locked so the fairys can setup or status like Fairies do.

immunities cancel Outrage (and Thrash, nobody uses that though), convenient huh
something like Aegislash is much better, as the opponent continues Outrage for minimal damage while you set up for free

 

[Tiamant]

Why is it so hard to get multibattles going? ;_;

 

[Kansoku]

I'm looking for a Pokemon to replace my Pangoro HM-Slave for E4.
My team is Greninja, Charizard, Gogoat, Flygon and Aurorus;

Any suggestions?

 

[User 73706]

Stupid question: why is Klefki OU material? Just the typing?

 

[Niraj]

Damn, just read on Smogon that Aerilate, Pixilate, and Refrigerate give about a 30% damage increase to converted normal type moves on top of STAB. That's pretty awesome, though obviously limited to only a few Pokemon.

 

[Not75Drops]

Why is it so hard to get multibattles going? ;_;

Do we even have a 4th person?

 

[takriel]

We're currently 3 persons waiting for a fourth one to do some multibattling! Anyone interested?

@Not75drops: I'm asking strangers, it's not going well

 

[Mr-Joker]

Anything new about those 3 leaked event Pokémon?

Spoiler

#719 Rock/Fairy Diancie
#720 Fire/Water Volcanion
#721 Psychic/Ghost Hoopa

I hate to wait.

Well we will finding about one of them next year, then second one in 2015 and the last one in 2016.

Assuming that Game Freak goes by releasing event Pokémon yearly.

 

[Tiamant]

Come on Busaiku, join us in!

 

[Caladrius]

Stupid question: why is Klefki OU material? Just the typing?

Prankster: makes it great at screwing up sweeping attempts with thunder wave, swagger and magic room. Foul play is also a point in its favor.

EDIT: Can't learn Taunt, my bad. Got his moveset confused with Thundurus.

 

[Neiteio]

Stupid question: why is Klefki OU material? Just the typing?

Klefki's typing is excellent (2X weak to ONLY Ground and Fire, and with two immunities and multiple resistances). His defenses are strong. But his secret sauce is Prankster, which gives +1 priority on all status moves.

This allows Klefki to do the following:

- Always go first paralyzing with Thunder Wave and/or confusing with Swagger
- Then go first setting up a Substitute next turn
- Then go first using Swagger if I haven't already, or paralyze with Thunder Wave if enemy switches to shake confusion
- Then use Foul Play, which is stronger the greater the enemy's Attack; with an anti-Attack nature on Klefki, and the enemy's Attack raised two stages by Swagger, you can hit them HARD.

When the sub breaks -- if they're able to hit you instead of hitting themselves or being immobilized by paralysis -- then you repeat the process.

Only Taunt can stop it. In which case Klefki can switch out for a bulky wall to kill the taunter.

Also, some people use Klefki to set up dual screens and/or Spikes. Although I think the incredibly durable Carbink (with Sturdy, and holding Light Clay) is the premiere Dual Screener (and Stealth Rocker!).

Personally, I'm interested to use both -- Klefki, and then Carbink.

You still need someone to fill that slot?

 

[QP3]

I am home for those that were going to trade for my 3/4/5 IV ralts.

Are you looking for something specific in return?

 

[Not75Drops]

Klefki's typing is excellent (2X weak to ONLY Ground and Fire, and with two immunities and multiple resistances). His defenses are strong. But his secret sauce is Prankster, which gives +6 priority on all status moves.

Doesn't Prankster just give +1 priority to a non-attack move?

I need a keychain

 

[Neiteio]

Oops, you're right, I'll fix that. I had +6 on my mind, I wonder what I was thinking about. :-o

I also wrote "Thunder" instead of "Thunder Wave."

 

[HovaHovito]

Can you say EARTHQUAKE?


Doesn't Vaporeon have rediculous defensive bulk with decent Sp Attack while gogoat is fairly fragile?

Yes. To vaporeon
Gogoat is a sp def tank. I got cocky and did an extra bulk up and i payed for it

 

[Korosenai]

You really can't get mystic Water unless you picked Froakie as your starter? Dumb.

 

[MarkusRJR]

Need help with making move sets.

My Eevee has:
-Return
-Quick Attack
-Bite
-Last Resort

I was curious is something like Dig or Toxic would be better than Last Resort (considering how annoying it is to set up Last Resort) ?

My Zorua is going to have:
-Nasty Plot
-Dark Pulse
-Extrasensory

I'm not sure what to do for it's last move. I was thinking of doing Incinerate since it's now 60 power and I have no fire moves on my team, but I dunno. Maybe something stronger like Shadow Ball would be better. Advice?

My Flygon is going to have:
-Dragon Claw
-Earthquake
-Fly (I really need a Pokémon with Fly)

I was thinking of having Roost be my last move, but I don't have any bug moves on my team then. Should I do U-Turn instead?

Some advice would be lovely.

 

[Niraj]

You just have to find it. Areas around Laverre and Ambrette are often rainy for me. Geosenge sometimes too. I'm not sure if it's random or by day or what.

So, if I kill

Xerneas

, will its stats be different

What's a good item for Belly Drum Azumarill to hold? I've been using a Sitrus Berry to help guarantee Belly Drum goes off, and I made sure to have even HP so the berry still activates if I Belly Drum at full health. Is the extra health really worth it, or would it better to give him something for extra power like Splash Plate?

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Teams of

A few days ago, I fought a Triple Battle against a team consisting of Yveltal, Mewtwo, Mega Charizard Y, Lucario, Bisharp, and Floatzel, using my Elite Four team.

I barely won.

Yearly?

I can't wait, that long...

You can farm it off of Lapras if you have one in your FS.

[User 73706]

Prankster adds +1 priority?

So in theory if you manage to get something strong enough with a priority move you could take it out before it had the chance to set up, right?

I guess there aren't too many out there beyond Bullet Punch / Extremespeed / Aqua Jet / Ice Shard, though. Shit, and it resists literally all of those beyond Aqua Jet and Shadow Sneak, huh?

You could arguably make a case with a specialized Magnezone or Rotom-H designed to counter it, but even then that seems improbable.

Why not Leftovers?

Hes a good suicide lead. Hes pretty easy to take out with a tank though

 

[Korosenai]

I'll have to see if anyone on my friends list has a Lapras... Unless someone here wants to just trade mystic water for the fire counterpart item?

Choice band, splash plate, mystic water.

If you're still looking for one in ~4 hours I got you covered lol.

It would be much appreciated. If you don't want the fire item I may have a secret pokemon in store for you (with 4 perfect iv's).

You may want at least 1 Flying/Levitate on the team.

Also why Rain Dance on Toise?

 

[YoungMoney]

From what I've read HP is always superior to DEF, unless you're trying to use a lot of draining moves.

But since his nature is +defense im undecided of what to do :/

 

[User 73706]

Could Avalugg end up being a decent counter to Klefki? It can learn EQ, Safeguard, Substitute, Recover and obviously has some decent STAB, and it can also get Own Tempo as an ability.

You may want at least 1 Flying/Levitate on the team.

Also why Rain Dance on Toise?

Yeah, replace that with Rapid spin. Rain dance ruins Volcarona's STAB and Rapid spin is needed to clear entry hazards so Volcy can get onto the field safely.

Volcarona should at least pack flamethrower, bug buzz and (this is very important) Quiver Dance. Choose whatever you want for a fourth one, I'm thinking hurricane but that's an unreliable move.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Choice band, splash plate, mystic water.

Choice band would be pretty bad if he plans to utilise belly drum.

Ugh....
