Yea. I saw the strategies. It's still funny to see Wobuffet on a list with Ho-oh, Mew, Dialga and stuff.jman2050 said:

Which is fucking hilarious :lol It's even funnier when you consider Wynaut is an Über for the same reason.
Is Garchomp still Über?
Yes, he's incredibly brokenJet Grind Radio! said:
Are more people having trouble connecting to others? I thought it was just me. Was having trouble connecting to Metroid Killer yesterday to get a ditto, and later in the day I was trying to trade with another friend and it took us like 10 reconnects before we were able to see each other.
Yes, and that's why I don't care much about Smogon. Anything good = banned. Double Team? Banned (Aura Sphere and many other moves walk on this shit like there's no tomorrow). Fissure (with a laughable 30% rate) banned. The hell. It's ain't fun this way IMO. No, I don't even care about DT nor OHKO moves, but the way I see it, that's ridiculous.Green Scar said:

You like Double Team? The accuracy/evasion stuff is the one bit of the game I wish Game Freak would get rid of, it's just frustrating. I'd ban it too if I were whoever makes these calls at Smogon.

I think a common misconception of Smogon's tiers is that they correlate to how good the pokemon are. It's not necessarily about that, it's more about how often they're used, which is an important distinction. I'm not privy to Medicham's particular case, but logically thinking about it, while his ability makes him a monstrous physical attacker, there are several other pokemon that are more reliable in that role, and those are typically used more often than someone like Medicham.
Echoes said:
Banning OHKO moves I guess I'm iffy on, although I suppose with stuff like lock-on and foresight around it makes sense. I guess the reward is considered TOO great for the amount of luck involved, which I don't totally agree with, but whatever.
The Evasion Clause however is totally justified. Yeah, there are a few moves that are designed for get around evasion, but consider that that's precisely the problem. If DT/Minimize were allowed, then there stands to be no logical reason for all of your pokemon to not have Swift, Aeriel Ace, Shadow Punch, etc etc. It greatly restricts the metagame and forces players to rely on a very small set of moves for reliable damage. And that's no fun.
Yeah I know how the tiers work, and I know other pokemon are better than it, but a well supported Medicham is an absolute monster. I can pretty routinely get 2-4 KOs with it in a row with no set up moves. I've been using him since Gen 3 on just about every team I've ever used, and he's never let me down; and he's only gotten better in Gen 4 with the phys/spec split, imo.jman2050 said:

So, I haven't been to the Battle Frontier yet. Is this full, Emerald scale BF, or the shrunken version from Platinum?

Pokemon that evolve using King's Rock... they don't eat it, do they? Like evolution stones are one-shot...

You're a big guy.

That would be fantastic. I'm not really interested in hardcore EV training or the like, I just want to have a Pupitar for the rest of the quest line. Brilliant looking Pokemon.
I'm not sure what you want in return or what I can realistically provide, but thanks!

Huh, apparently you can go to Sinjoh Ruins twice if you have the two different types of Arceus.
Was either Arceus ever dispensed in the US?

Is that the same guy that customizes your player character's look when you go online?
I have to agree with the evasion rule too. With the exception of Aura Sphere (Which only two non-legendary Pokemon learn), all unmissable moves have 60 base power. If a Pokemon can keep using double team then you are basically shutting out every Pokemon that doesn't have one of these moves.

Cant challenge fighting leader or do the Swarm pokemon. SO annoying!Just beat Jasmine with my level 25 Gyarados which i'm quite happy about. Just grinding now near the Safari Zone as I feel my team is a bit too weak to hit up the 7th Gym just yet.
Team at the moment:
Quilava: lvl 29
Gyarados: lvl 27
Ampharos(sp?): lvl 31
Pidgeotto: lvl 31
Graveller: lvl 30
Bellsprout: lvl 10 (needed a Pokemon to learn cut :lol )
Probably looking to get a Ghost/Physic type in there at some point but so far my team is shaping up nicely.

So just as a rough outline, what kind of weaknesses would a team like this have?
Surfin' Raichu
Flinchey Togekiss
Empoleon
Gyarados
Snorlax
Azumarill
Probably a huge weakness to electric moves I'm guessing... >.> I guess I've always loved water Pokemon. <3
Azumarill is variable, dunno really what to put there.
