The Terrakion was from a different trainer than the one who traded it to me, who was American. It was also at the level you get it. The Murkrow... Well, I guess it could be. There's nothing special about it aside from the color, though.Roto13 said:
Because of its Dream World ability, Speed Boost.xSL4INx said:
On Ninjask it wasn't worth much because Ninjask is already stupidly fast and doesn't hit hard. Blaziken though hits like a truck and is held back by speed... guess what Speed Boost does
e: And unlike the third Speed Booster, Yanmega, Blaziken gets a whole bunch of extremely powerful attacks (100+ BP, two of them have STAB)

What was the whole Blaziken thing again?
Send him out, use Protect to get a free turn of Speed+1 to exploit his moves?
I wonder what Blaziken's usage looked like before the ban...
Oh excuse me, before being 'kicked up the stairs' to Uber, to be clear

What do you guys mean by banned? I can still use him in all the Wi-Fi online battles. Also it is possible to get Legit Japanese Pokemon from the GTS with the Dream World abilities? I want a Dragonite, but not sure how i would find out before the trade?

It's a good thing i was making an Unova team anyway. not that i follow smogon rules anyway.
Technically tiers allow all pokemon to shine. If you like Beedrill you've got an entire bracket where the little guy can be effective. Otherwise he'll get munched and walled and turned impotent by the critters with superior stats and movepools, on top of the legendaries (see: Nintendo contests).vall03 said:

I used to get raged at all the time on wifi battle because I didn't follow Smogon.
Tournaments and such, fair play, but unless you have established rules prior to a random battle, it's all fair play as far as I'm concerned.
That being said, organized battles are so much better than randoms.

well yeah, but still, I find that playing with tiers feels so limited. Its not really about outmatching the opponent, but rather using the Pokemon I like. Then theres the next problem wherein everyone just uses the same Pokemon from a predefined set. Overall, that play style is not for me...Vhalyar said:
Of course. Anyone playing online randoms that expects their opponent to follow a set of rules not enforced by the game is absolutely retarded.Blue_Gecko said:
If all you're doing is playing with friends or randoms then of course you're not bound by any rules. Personally when playing with friends I still find the tiers a good benchmark; I'm not going to pull out my sandstorm KILL BLOOD MURDER team on a friend who doesn't know what IVs arevall03 said:
But comparing Nintendo tournaments to matches based on Smogon tiers... yeah, you really see why it has a place.

Agreed. I love Blastoise, even though he is supposedly not that good. I have won several battles with his tankish defenses, running with Counter and Mirror Coat. But in the end it's all about having fun.

OKAY I CALL HACKS!
One of the elite four should be immediately banned from competing in the pokemon league for using hacked pokemon.
Why?
He has a lvl 50 Bisharp.
PAWNIARDS DONT EVOLVE INTO BISHARPS THAT EARLY!
Plus I'm pretty certain that Haxorus was hacked in the next to last gym as well. I don't think those exist at that low of a level either.
Cheatin ass pokemon league is using hacked pokemon. I'm about to have my wife IR trade me my old box full of EEVEE-lutions to put the fear of God back in these guys.

Smogon's tier system makes sense most of the time. Then they occasionally go and ban/unban random shit.
I'd still take that over official Nintendo tournaments out of principle though.
