  2. Started a new game after a year of absence. Boy, did i get rusty.

  3. Thanks again. I know about Hippodown, Politoed and Tyranitar and the danger they pose against my team. I'll try to switch Ninetails for Rotom-H and Camerupt for Life orb Infernape. however the minimal speed stats on Torkoal and Camerupt where pretty nice against a Trick room strategx one oponent tried to use. YES! YES! YES! Groundwork for an argumentation. I have not seen anything 2HKO Torkoal, that wasn't boosted in any way
  4. Soooo, Thanks for the answers. First: Yes, this is a competitive monotype, as it has a few things in it that are not currently available in Reborn. Yes, indeed, I did not get a Volcarone from the egg, but instead was blessed with a Drilbur which gave me the much needed advantage over Corey. And also yes, I do have a Typlosion which I run on my Reborn mono fire team as a Fast Special sweeper. I don't have the TM for Earthquacke, which I either missed or did not have the chance to get yet (I am currently residing at Agate Circus) Ooooookay... First, I don't find it offensive in any way. keep it going, as this might be a big help, even if it hurts to let some of my favourite mons go I'll read this again a few times and decide try some of these out in a secondary team, to see how it rolls. However I do know of Heatran and that it outclasses Torkoal in any aspect, BUT I actively decided against Legendaries, as I just don't like the whole concept of them (sounds stupid, but I can't help thinking of an overconfident 9 year old when I see legendaries in competitive battle) I'll try to overcome it, if I feel the necessity. I am not that sure about the sun, because it is mostly there not because of the 50% boost (Most opponents get OHKOed by a super effective move of any of the mons), but because of the Solar beam. At the moment I am thinking to switch back to Infernape as my scarfed revenge killer/physical sweeper. I just overlooked the Mach Punch when I first set up a build. Fake out and scarf are not really good friends. as a matter of fact I will look into Rotom-H, another mon that just slipped over my head probably because of my long absense of the Pokemon world. Same goes for Darmanitan. I did decide aggainst Emboar, as I remember it to be prettty slow from my current reborn playthrough, albeit his Reckless ability paired with the huge pool of recoil moves make it to be a force to be reconed with. Soo, lastly, I'd like to ask, if you may like to post some sample builds. I am mainly interested in the builds for Darmanitan, Rotom-H and Infernape.
  5. As a kid I always wanted but never had a Charizard. My first yellow edition got stolen, my second (which I bought on a flea market) broke after serge and I never had anyone who'd trade me one to my Crystal version. So guess which I picked
  6. Well, the Title says everything. Basically this is my first competiive Team that doesn't get oblitterated by everything that it has to face. I just wanted to see, how I'd do in a competitive battle and created a Team losely using the HO Tread as a basis. I somehow ended up with a Monotype so I thoght "Hell why not?" and tried it. Next came some fiddling and twiddling and piddling and this is what it currently looks like. I am not entirely satisfied, so I hope for some suggestions. Mega Flare: The Idea: Well, Basically, what does every Fire type like the most? Right, when It's nice and warm. So Drought Ninetails will make the sun shine while offering some supporting moves from its diversive movepool Now to the main force. Quiver Dance Volcarona and Mega Charizard-Y both have a disastrous Special Attack while offering a nice variety of moves. Also Mega Charizard-Y too has the Ability Drought to keep the sun from setting when the battle lasts a little longer (He's like the Snickers of my Team) So, A pretty solid Special Attacking force, but Oh No! What if I run into a special wall? Well, That's what Arcanine is for. Access to a nice Variety of Physical Moves and a solid Speed make him not only a good physical attacker, but also a great revenge killer. Extreme Speed helps a lot with the latter. Now with the offense taken care of it's time to think about the defense. Because of the Team being all fire types, Stealth Rock is a pretty dangerous thing to have on your side of the field. So we need a defogger or rapid spinner. Because It is crucial for me to always have Stealth rocks on the other side of the field however, I have to go for Rapid spin. And there is no other Fire type than Torkoal, that can learn it. Now to the last Pokemon and the one I feel the most unsatisfied with so far. Camerupt is pretty bulky and has a good Sp Attack. It also learns the Move Stealth Rock, Earth Power and Flash cannon, covering a good amount of weaknesses, while at the same time being pretty resistant to the common counters for fire types. Analysis: This is going to be bad Sheila (Torkoal) (F) @ Leftovers Ability: Shell Armor EVs: 248 HP / 8 SpA / 252 SpD Sassy Nature IVs: 0 Spe - Stealth Rock - Lava Plume - Sunny Day - Rapid Spin Usually being the Lead, setting up Stealth Rock and (if taken damage is low enough) Sunny day, before Rapid Spinning away the opponents Hazards. with a still not to underestimate special attack she is able to do some massive damage to some spin blockers while tanking theirs, forcing them to switch out and then spinning anyway. Vixi (Ninetales) (F) @ Heat Rock Ability: Drought EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def Calm Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Flamethrower - Will-O-Wisp - Solar Beam - Hypnosis secondary lead and support she goes in first against Teams that are too dangerous to let them set up. With Drought setting up most of what I need and Will-O-Wisp to cripple physical attackers and Hypnosis to sleep the target her main objective is to give Volcarona time to set up one or two quiver dances. Also perfect lead for setting up against water type monotypes, because of the Sunny Day, Solar Beam combo. Dorn (Charizard-Mega-Y) (M) @ Charizardite Y Ability: Solar Power EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Air Slash - Fire Blast - Solar Beam - Dragon Pulse The Mega of the Team. Fast Special sweeper with Fire Blast and Air Slash as STAB moves and Solar Beam and Dragon Pulse as coverage. probably the most straight forward in the whole team. Mothra (Volcarona) (F) @ Life Orb Ability: Flame Body EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Modest Nature - Fiery Dance - Giga Drain - Quiver Dance - Hidden Power [ice] There is not much to say about Volcarona: Con: She needs one turn to set up with quiver dance Pro: after that she just burns through enemy teams like a Flamethrower through paper. With Fiery Dance as a strong STAB move that further boosts her Special Attack and Giga Drain to restore the HP lost through the Life orb it is difficult to get around her once she got the tempo up. HP Ice is a nice coverage ove to deal with nasty dragon types and Flamebody hopefully cripples any Revenge killer that managed to hit her. Rexy (Arcanine) (M) @ Choice Scarf Ability: Flash Fire EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Extreme Speed - Close Combat - Wild Charge - Flare Blitz Choice scarfed Physical sweeper/revenge killer. Extreme speed guarantees that he'll outspeed even the fastest opponent. Urmel (Camerupt) (F) @ Passho Berry Ability: Solid Rock EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA Modest Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Earth Power - Lava Plume - Stone Edge - Flash Cannon Camerupt. Nice bulk and a good coverage with stone edge and flash cannon. the Passho Berry along with Solid Rock pretty much guarantees her to survive switching into a strong water type move. Export: Treads: Sashed Dragon Dancers, amplyfied by the ability Moxxie. Azumarril with sap sipper, Aqua Jet. probably some more, that I am not too well aware of, because of my inexperience. Well, I'd really like to hear, what you think and how you would improve this Team. I still don't know how serious I want to get into competitive play, but I had fun so far. Also, like I said, this is my first competitive Team, so please go easy on my noobish ass.
  7. As much as I can see how Unown can be labeld the worst Pokemon, I somehow always found it to be a unique quirk in the Gen 2 games. It is (as far as I know) te first Pokemon to have different appearences and I kinda liked the Alph ruin puzzles and all the mistery surrounding them. Also they where practically used to demonstrate the Move Hidden Power. No, which pokemon I truly despise would be Dunsparce.. sure, It's Stats are not that terrible and It's move pool isn't either, but seriously, What the frick is this thing? why does it have to be that ugly? I mean, Garbador will never win a beauty contest, but this thing has at least some visual qualities to it. But Dunsparce is just so...vacuous... There is one thing for a pokemon to be ugly or competitively awful, but to be mediocre in any way is what makes you forget it ever existed. that is why Dunsparceis imho the worst Pokemon that ever existed
  8. I still don't get what's so funny about confusing this with the search bar

      it's actually not that funny; just that it's happened so often that we all take it as a running gag of some sort

      Raindrop Valkyrie

      It's mostly just a running joke at this point... because almsot every new person here does it somehow... I don't know how What's on your mind? Conveys search bar rather then you know... the bar that says search in it... but people seem to be draw to it like a magnet. It's more a fascinating phenomenon at this point then funny lol.

      the funny thing, personally, is that I didn't even notice that the status bar was there when I was new, so I didn't know how to make a status update as opposed to the common newbie mistake of confusing the status bar with the search bar.

  9. Well, honestly I don't think this question deserves it's own thread, but since I could not find a Q&A Thread here it is. Well, with this out of the way, here is my question: If I use common candy to decrease the level of a Pokemon under a certain level on which it naturally learns an attack, will it try to learn the attack anew whilst leveling up, or does a once learned and forgotten attack be forgotten forever? Example: A Charmander leveled up to lvl 19 and accidentaly overwrote it's Dragon rage with scary face. will feeding it 4 common candy (lvl 15) and then leveling up to lvl 16 again trigger the learning of Drago rage?

  10. ...there are no words on this world to tescribe this...O.O Me want!
