@ddude: Yes, but you said that "heart beat skill", and that you could beat me with that alone. Thus, I made a retort against that.
And a
real competitive player doesn't need a guidebook. I do everything from my head, as all others do. You just need to memorize a bunch of things that you can actually find in-game. Guidebooks aren't necessary.
So you're saying that you factor EVs, IVs, Natures, Base Stats, CHs, factored moves, counter-strategies and reverse tricks, and the overall tier that you're fighting in? Then I await a battle with you. I've been needing a good one for quite awhile.
@herochild: The point I've been trying to make throughout this topic is the same one that can apply here. Level
doesn't determine how strong a Pokemon is. Base Stats, Effort Values, Interest Values, Abilities, and Natures determine how strong a Pokemon is. For example, Giratina's stats are strong enough to put him in the Uber Tier. On the other hand, Regigigas has much weaker stats, and has a HORRID ability, so he barely even makes Borderline Tier, much less OU or Uber. Regigigas isn't that great of a Pokemon, in general opinion.
Of course, the only
real way that competitive people battle is in OU.
I love meh Gallade and Electivire, by the way. Those two are really good in OU, and I put a fairly good amount of work into factoring out their stats.
I know that, but it still should be obvious that a LV 100 should beat a LV 76.
