Tfw you realize you didn't get !nything for scret santa despite being a santa for two different people. Oh well.

I wooden do that if I were you. It's metal to steel another spoon.

Wha- What about me, Mael-kun?

Leave the monks alone, they mean no harm!

That's not official. It's from DA. Just look at the "3D" models. Besides, it was confirmed fake over at /vp/.

Bieber secretly knows wushu.

sup. I've noticed you used a wallpaper for a profile picture. >>

Cool team. One little thing, though. I recommend Hi Jump Kick over Close Combat for Hitmontop. You wouldn't want that nice bulk to go would you? True, HJK could backfire pretty bad, but I think its worth more then losing your bulk. 9.8368186382941903153850/10

wat is dis warnin post abt????

I like this a lot. Do you have the raw wallpaper that you could probably share?

lol

True, I did put Taunt there, but it seems i forgot to save...

I did want a hazrd bouncer, but seeing my team doesn't take too much from SR (Except Swellow. The rest has a recovery move), I decided to run this more offensively.

Just RNG, dude.

Cool team, I really have onthing to say, except you should most probably run a defensive Cobalion as a backup in case some other Steel-types take out Magenzone. And Charge Beam over Thunderbolt for setting ups.

Alright, as I haven't been around lately, I've decided to do a RMT as a sort of apology. Here's a team of high-flyers, ready to soar in battle. Good song is good. TEAM SUMMARY This mono-Flying is based on weakening the foe first before cleaning up the rest. Here, meet the members: (M) @ Flame Orb Trait: Guts EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - U-turn - Brave Bird - Facade - Protect Swellow may look pretty frail (it actually is >>), but it packs a punch when Guts kick in. Moreover, Swellow is one of the fastest birds, if not the fastest, making it extremely useful in cleaning up or plain sweeping. Protect helps to stall and kick Flame Orb into action, while Brave Bird and Facade does some serious STAB with Guts. I had teams beaten by this set because they underestimate the awesomeness of this bird. U-turn is great for scouting and doing damage without getting burned at the end of the turn. (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Sturdy EVs: 252 HP / 232 Def / 24 SDef Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk) - Drill Peck - Stealth Rock - Roost - Whirlwind Typical Steel Armor Bird set. This set revolves around stalling and stuff. Stealth Rocks will MUST go up in order to fully utilize Dragonite, which I'll come to in a minute. Roost and Whirlwind does their stuff and Drill Peck to finish stuff off. Now, Drill Peck > Brave Bird as the recoil will kill Sturdy, which is not cool. (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Serene Grace EVs: 252 HP / 252 SDef / 4 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Roost - Aura Sphere - Nasty Plot - Air Slash Now, Togekiss here is my bulky setter. She comes in on troublesome SAttackers and set up right in front of them. Roost will easily cover the damage the foe slowly chipped away and Nasty Plot brings up her SAtk to tremedous power, making her a dangerous tank. Aura Sphere and Air Slash are for coverage, of course. (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Multiscale EVs: 4 HP / 136 Atk / 116 SAtk / 252 SDef Quiet Nature (+SAtk, -Spd) - Roost - Dragon Tail - Thunder Wave - Draco Meteor Dragonite is my basic wall. He has great bulk and stronger attack, coupled with the amazing Multiscale, which cuts SE moves into two when at full HP. Roost will constantly make Mutliscale usable. Thunder Wave will stop sweepers (usually) and Dragon Tail will force sneaky stones on the enemy. Draco Meteor is my back-up plan, in case Dnite happens to look like dying. (M) @ Toxic Orb Trait: Poison Heal EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Def / 4 Spd Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk) - Bulldoze - Substitute - Swords Dance - Ice Fang Physical Wall and Status taker. Sub + Sword Dance has been a tried and cool tactic in gen 4 and is still usable. However, I chose Bulldoze over Earhquake for the -1 speed, which cripples unparalyzed sweepers (unless they happen to be scarfed or Trick Room) and besides, a +2 Bulldoze kills almost anything not bulky. (F) @ Black Sludge Trait: Infiltrator EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - U-turn - Cross Poison - Roost - Brave Bird My last resort. I hardly use her unless I'm forced to, seeing Swellow and Glisor usually do the sweeping for me. She's basically a 2nd version of Swellow, except less power, more bulk. In that sense, Flying/Poison resists many things, like Fighting and Grass. Roost will take care of the HP, while Cross Poison tries for a crit and Brave Bird for heavy STAB. So, this team is really, really working for me. It even has a good record (good for my standard =\) Here are your records: 16 wins, 7 losses, and 0 ties. Thus your winning percentage is (not counting ties) 69.57% Keep battling! It's pretty solid on it's own, and it's working out! I do actually plan on listening to any good suggestions, so if you have anything to say, do tell me. Alright, you know what to do.
