Pokémon General Discussion

[B~T]

I already have a trained Scizor.

Nature: Adamant
Items: Leftovers
EVs: 252 HP/252 Atck/4 Def.
~ Bullet Punch
~ Swords Dance
~ X-Scissor
~ Brick Break

B~T's Puzzle of the day!

 = My lead will be a certain Fighting type Pokemon who only knows Normal and Fighting type moves through Level up...

It will not have Stealth Rock...

It plays another role...

 = My sweeper is a stat boosting sweeper with a powerful move it knows naturally...

It is also my first EV Trained Pokemon...
 = My Stealth Rock/Tank/Mixed Sweeper Support will be a Bulky Water with an additional type...

 = My Physical wall was reviewed recently...

 = My Special Wall/Status Support is that of the Fairy Egg group...

 = My other Sweeper will be a popular Cresselia counter as well as a Pursuit user...

It is also the Monster Egg group...

 = But wait...

My other sweeper will also serve as a Rapid Spin blocker...

It has the highest Special Attack for that role...

= My other reserve sweeper has no set gender...



Good luck figuring who all my Wi-Fi Pokemon are. It's not like Blademan's "Special Surprises"...

Now what are the prizes for getting all 8 Pokemon right?

@ZLS:  Go ahead and use Ninjask for a Baton Passer.  Your team is built around Physical Sweepers, so that would be beneficial. 

I notice you've put a lot of emphasis on Physical Sweepers.  Watch out for Burns and Physical Walls. 

And yes, Tyranitar learns Stealth Rock.  However, I think it's the best Pursuit killer in the game, so it's a questionable choice. 

Cool. I was also thinking a Gliscor with Sand Veil, if I lead with T-Tar. It learns Baton Pass and Swords Dance, which could be passed on, and also is protected in the sandstorm. The downside is that it doesn't pass speed, which is what Breloom and Scisor lack(though both posses Priority Moves)
If I use Ninjask it passs Speed for sure, and possibly atk. Is this a good set for Ninjask:

Ninjask @ Focus Sash
Jolly Speed Boost
252HP 4Def 252Spe
-Swords Dance
-Protect
-Baton Pass
-X-Scisor/Aerial Ace

Protect the first turn, which gives a speed boost, then swords dance the following turn, giving me +2 Speed and +2 Atk, which I pass on the 3rd turn. Focus Sash should protect me on the second turn, unless hail or sandstorm starts on the 1st turn. Or I can simply pass off +1 speed after 1 turn of protect.

If I use Gliscor I think the set would be:

Gliscor @ Item
Impish(I think, that's +Def -SpAtk right?) Sand Veil
EVs
-Swords Dance
-Baton Pass
-EQ
-Roost/Aerial Ace
1st 3 moves are standard. 4th move is between type coverage if he's in battle as a late Sweeper or recovery after being hit while passing stats. Not sure about EVs.

I'm too lazy to explain stuff to you now, but all I can say is that Tyranitar's use as a lead is declining due to the rise of Metagross and Jirachi.

And do you know the answers to my puzzle? 

[Solo Rogue]

At Meganium Review:
xD Nice. xD I don't mind that. ... Don't ask why I'm using this. And that review was pretty funny. "Nuuu hax Shedinja D=" xD I prefer Bayleef, but Meganium's good too. =)

HG/SS: Epic this will be the best =O=O=O=O Read that as being all-caps, I don't like using them, even when it's what usually is used. =P

[B~T]

I only review fully-evolved Pokemon...

Who should I review next:

Electivire?
Shedinja?
Or Blade's other favorite Pokemon?
(Bibarel) XD

[Solo Rogue]

I know, I was just saying that I prefer Meganium. =P

Electivire, Shedinja's too cheap, and I'm pretty sure you've already reviewed Gallade. =P

Oh yes, Congrats on getting Wi-Fi Dudebot =D

[B~T]

It's not Gallade. 

Highlight the bar underneath the "Or".
Plz o plz dont attack mah if you are offended!!! DX

[Solo Rogue]

XD

I think that'd be Dudebot's favourite though. =P But...


Do it. =P

[Dudebot5000]

No. I despise him from the depths of my soul, even though Smogon makes him seem useful. =D

Battle Video code for my silver match in teh Arcade: 63-77567-47477

Going for Castle Silver next. I've been pwning that place, though, so I should have no problems. ^_^

[Solo Rogue]

That's why I said he was your favourite... Oh wait, I forgot the </sarcasm> tag. =P

Finally caught Darkrai today. He fainted me the first time around today, but I grabbed my Staraptor and finally caught him after a few hundred different balls.

Did I mention that HG/SS looks epicly awesome and will be the best game ever? =)

[Dudebot5000]

Of course you did. =P

Sweet.

I can't think of a time when you haven't, Blade. =P

[Solo Rogue]

=P

Everything I see just maakes me like it more. Customizable Safari Zone? YES. Apricorns and the balls returning, along with a new use? YES. Wi-Fi events that unlocks new PokeWalker zones? YES. =D

[Dudebot5000]

I just got haxed at the Castle. I was winning... Then... Somehow... Darach killed me with his ub3r hax skillz. -_-

Battle Vid code: 34-16068-11231

Perhaps I shouldn't level up Darach's pokemon up 5 levels each... =/

[The Host]

Probably not... I leveled his pokemon down 5 levels each I think... even though Houndoom, Staraptor and Empoleon aren't great pokemon they somehow are quite good together. I think I'm on the 5th or 6th round of the Battle Castle, although I've been skipping battles lately(the 7th battle usually, to ensure I win the round).

So, for my competitive team, should my Baton Passer be Ninjask or Gliscor?

[Solo Rogue]

Pallet Town looks pretty interesting...

New Pokemon Center and the updated Magnet Train looks epic. =D

[Ddude The Insane]

Say, do you have to wait to beat the game in HG/SS to go to Kanto?

And I'd reccomend Gliscor for the Baton Passer.

[Solo Rogue]

If it's anything like G/S/C, then yes, you'll have to wait.

[Ddude The Insane]

Darn.. I was hoping to get a few Kanto Pokemon if I could...I wonder if you can catch the Kanto starters in the wild for the first time? That would be cool.

*grunt* The Japanese are getting this game within the next 30 days, and we're getting it in Spring.

Anyone gonna get an imported one? *looks at him*

[Solo Rogue]

1. While it would be epicly awesome, I'm not sure if they would, since them being rare is one of the 'charms' of them to some people.

2. I might, but since it apparently is between getting English or Japanese, so perhaps, but probably only if I can get both languages. And it's 24 days and counting. =)

[Ddude The Insane]

Agh!!! 24 days! **** game translators!

I wonder if Heracross will be caught via headbutting trees...?
