What set are you going to use? Having SolarBeam and Leaf Storm seems kinda odd for Venusaur.
That's going to be my fun set, I surely wouldn't take Lilligant into competitive OU battles(gonna use it on my grass team). Kinda interested in using Pokemon that only spawn weather too, sounds fun.

I must now endeavor to build this team.
I might do a Kanto run with just fire types. Charizard/Flareon/Arcanine/Ninetails/Magmar/Rapidash
I mean what moves?
I'd suggest at least Sludge Bomb on there as well.

Hmm, if my Venusaur has hidden power fire I might add that(doubt it). I definitely would use Growth, but maybe I should use Sludge Bomb. Haven't used Sludge Bomb much except for the days of GSC where I would one shot Mewtwo with Tentracruel in matchups.

For the love of...Gold/Ethan's hair looks kinda stupid in Pokemon Chronicles...
Feel free to go back to your talk of whatever.

Without a doubt.
The only episode of Chronicles I remember actually enjoying was the
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
Oh yeaaaah.
I remember I wanted to do this in Ruby but my asshole cousin SO PLAINLY stole my master ball.
I mean seriously, my game case was opened with out me knowing, he was in the bathroom for a long ass time, he "found my game" under the couch all of the sudden (slight of hand!) and when I restarted the game not only was my master ball gone but one of my many Spheals were too (I totally counted how many I had beforehand).
I wanted to kick his ass for this for so long.
He finally admitted it like 2 years ago.
...
man fuck him

I don't remember, I think I wanted a Walrein cause it looked cool but then I saw Spheal looked cute so I just made a bunch of those.

Gotta love Sudowoodo.
I just caught a Sudowoodo 30 minutes ago as I'm currently playing HeartGold. Not sure if I like Bonsly more, though.
Hahaha. It's a shame ice Pokemon get the short end of the deal when it comes to weaknesses.

Just finished the Darkrai movie in the movie nights. Heh, I think I like the idea of movie nights now.

I dunno man, Sailor Leia is probably my second-favourite female playable character.
Palmtree-Hair has a pretty weird design, though.

You guys keep bringing up fire types and keep leaving out Magcargo!
Aki, my Magcargo in my current run of Heart Gold, is such a fun Pokemon to use.
Rock Slide, Lava Plume, Fire Blast and Recover. Soooo goood.

Found another sprite mistake.
The bag is on the front regardless if you go left or right, so the sprite was just inverted. However, when you move up and down, the bag stays on the correct side.
It's a Generation IV sprite sheet. Character sprites in that game were always asymmetrical.

*ducks behind desk*
Magcargo is Gen II, we were talking about Gen I Fire types.
But yeah that's a cool set. I'd personally use AncientPower/Earth Power/Lava Plume/Recover.

Tyranitar may not fear Solarbeam, but I've had many opponents immediately switch out once I used Rain Dance instead of switching. People to this day still never predict it.
I used to run Thunder on Tyranitar. Used to catch Politoed switch-ins off guard.

I thought Tyranitar's special attack wasn't anything to write home about...
95 base stat is pretty solid considering things like celebi and starmie have 100.

Thunder still hurts when it's doing double damage.
Nocturnowl

It can do that? I thought Rain just guaranteed it hit or am I missing something else here in your equation professor?
tiggerkiddo
Member
95...that's...decent. I know he's a killer in game but is he a terror competitively?
tiggerkiddo
Member
Even though he's slow as molasses? Or do people get around that by just using Trick Room?
Well in Gen 3 I remember most people using Dragon Dance on him, but now with priority moves being common DDTar isn't really viable anymore.
In Gen 4 I remember most people using Choice Scarf on him to boost his Speed.
Gen 5 Tyranitar's seem to focus more on Bulk so he can outlive Politoed/Ninteails and Sandstream becomes the permanent weather of the battle. And Tyranitar has the stats to survive a lot of hits, especially on the Special Side. Just watch out for Fighting moves.

Okay I definitely jumped in midway through a conversation here, now I get what you folks are chatting about and I'll see myself out
tiggerkiddo
Member
Why would he need to outlive Ninetails? Or is it because people use Solarbeam with Ninetails?
Whenever Ninetails is switched in, the Sun is summoned and the Sandstream disappears. But once Ninetails dies off, you can send Tyranitar back in and the Sandstream will be active for the rest of the match.

Oh...wait Ninetails gets Drought? Boy am I out of the loop, I thought that was exclusive to Groudon.

I didn't realise the new Kyurem forms are gotten by
That's a bit too weird for me. I assume the plot explains it?
literally fusing together Kyurem and 'rom/'ram.
He does. Politoed also gets Drought now. Weather has become very important in competitive battles this gen.

I just quoted you since you clarified it for me. No ill will was intended.
On another note, I just finished EV training Shelly today. Quake in fear, internet, for thine reckoning is nigh!

Yeah. It's not just random fusion; there's a story reason, and an item is required.
