Two things. Still missing the badge for beating Shade on Friday, and I post the next team in the monocolor series tuesday, but this serves more as a note to self
-
I thought about Gyarados, but I replaced him in the end. The reason is because I already have enough Water-types, Swampert provides an excellent physical STAB Waterfall and Salamence has better stats everywhere except Special Defense. If I had a legit fear of Ice-types, I would either take it when I'd locked into Outrage because it already killed something, or switch it out in favor of Tentacruel, who would shrug off the attack. As for Sawk, it does have the double purpose. Sturdy is there to shield a OHKO should Protect fail or I choose to use it as a switch in. And he doesn't have a priority move. He can only shield against them with Quick Guard.

Signing up, you have my type. Excuse me if I'm late, I am making dinner as I speak.

Ryan C here. Owen's Diablo Rojo team inspired me to do this series. Damn straight, this is the blue team. This team is about 1/3 my league team, 2/3...other stuff. Here it is for the wannabe critics. (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Torrent EVs: 252 HP / 52 Atk / 204 SDef Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk) - Waterfall - Earthquake - Curse - Rest Tanking attacker lead. Essentially, this is a set from Serebii, with my own tweaks. Normally, Swampert prompts an offensive switch on the other end, which gives me essentially a free Curse about 60-70% of the time. Where I go from there depends on what the Pokemon is. I will use a combination of Waterfall and Avalanche after that, which will provide some pretty decent coverage, and Rest to allow for recovery as after a few Curses Swampert should be bulky enough to survive. (F) @ Focus Sash Trait: Moxie EVs: 232 Atk / 24 SAtk / 252 Spd Hasty Nature (+Spd, -Def) - Outrage - Dragon Dance - Earthquake - Fire Blast Power man and the first of three from my League team. Salamence has been a staple of my League team as it just hammers the crap out of whatever gets thrown at it. It is ruthless. Anyway, this set is a little bit modified, with a slight change in EVs and a Hasty Nature instead of a Jolly one. Dragon Dance meshes beautifully with the Focus Sash to bring about a guaranteed boost that will have Salamence outrunning and outpowering most Pokemon in the tier. In other words, something is bound to fall unless its name is Skarmory or Bronzong. From there, I choose one of three attacks: Earthquake, Outrage or Fire Blast, obviously depending on which will most brutally kill the opponent. (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Prankster EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Natre (+Spd, -Atk) - Volt Switch - Hidden Power [Grass] - Thunder Wave - Nasty Plot => Taunt (Skwayz) The prankster set. Volt Switch is the STAB and is used to throw something else in the way of a potentially fatal attack, like getting Swampert in the way of Stone Edge. Hidden Power [Grass] isn't much, but works with Volt Switch to provide coverage, and is only stopped by protection and Sap Sipper, which I have only seen Washman use in OU. (The man's crazy.) Thunder Wave can cripple switch-in after switch-in, and Taunt works to beat opposing Pokemon before they can set up. (M) @ Black Sludge Trait: Liquid Ooze EVs: 252 HP / 240 Def / 16 Spd Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk) - Toxic Spikes - Rapid Spin - Scald - Ice Beam Utility spinner, wall of sorts and the first of two from my league team. Tentacruel's main selling point is Toxic Spikes, which is pretty useful noting the lack of decent Poison-types in OU. Rapid Spin is the other reason it's on the team, so Salamence's Focus Sash and Sawk's Sturdy can kick in kinda unhindered, as well as Thundurus not having any trouble with Stealth Rock. Scald and Ice Beam have surprising power and eliminate the antagonizing Gliscor, who would wall the rest of the team. Biggest threats: Chansey and Blissey. (M) @ Salac Berry Trait: Sturdy EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd Jolly (+Atk, -SAtk) - Close Combat - Stone Edge - Taunt - Protect / Quick Guard He's not the coolest fighter out there, but he has something that other Fighting-types don't: Sturdy. This allows Sawk to take a hit and throw haymakers the other way with Close Combat, when the defensive drops don't matter anyway. Stone Edge is another hard-hitting option that provides cute coverage. Taunt stops status and boosting, increasing the effectiveness of hard-hitting Sawk, and Protect is best used to scout and analyze if you need to get Sawk's ass out of there. You'd use Quick Guard in muti-Pokemon battles to allow Pokemon like Thundurus to get a free shot without fear of something like Ice Shard. @ Leftovers Trait: Levitate EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Psyshock - Fire Blast - Hidden Power [Fighting] - Nasty Plot A different take on the offensive powerhouse, Azelf flies like a butterfly and stings like a Garchomp when you didn't know Garchomp wasn't banned here. Psyshock is STAB and provides a source of Physical damage, keeping Blissey from walling it. Fire Blast is an obvious choice, as it's powerful and provides cool coverage. Hidden Power [Fighting] is not too necessary but it is nice to take out special walls like Regice. And of course, there's the booster, Nasty Plot. Below is the exportable. Other Options Blastoise was considered but in the end it was outclasses by Tentacruel because of Toxic Spikes. Kingdra, Vaporeon, Toxicroak, all those fall under the class of Pokemon that I would not use except in rain. Any other Water-typeswere not chosen because I didn't want too much Water presence, and I was satisfied with Swampert and Tentacruel as they cover the other's weaknesses. Hydreigon was replaced with Salamence because Salamence was faster. Eelektross and Luxray are cool, but is only a replacement for Thundurus in places where Thundurus-I is illegal. Metagross is too slow for me. It was replaced by Azelf. First 5 battles: 1. 2-0 loss vs. the corrupt mod. 2. 3-0 win vs. High Fidelity. 3. 6-0 win vs. Explosms (won by forfeit). 4. 5-0 win vs. King Noob. 5. 6-0 win vs. crep (won by forfeit) Have at it! Next time on the monocolor series, I might be going (insert environmentally friendly word here)! EDIT: I had 2 battles vs. Owen and the team that inspired the series, Diablo Rojo. I won and lost once each, both with 1-0 margins. EDIT 2: Exportable is now fixed

It does, but in the Pokedex, it says Rotom is red. Just like they say Bronzong is green...I guess it might have something to do with their shiny forms but I dunno for sure.
-
I missed that part. But I laddered with the team using that move and the move choice, as I found out, goes beyond one person. You have Cloyster, Aggron and some other guys who would otherwise survive Hi Jump Kick with either a Sash or Sturdy. That and Double Kick has 100 accuracy. It might be 105 base power weaker, but it makes up for that by being a great situational move. This team doesn't give or take status well, as I found out. I would recommend giving Charizard Will-O-Wisp. Either that or you could replace one of the Pokemon on the team with Rotom...actually, that's a great idea. Yeah, do that, because you could use Water/Electric anyway, as Grass would be covered by Blaziken. As for the status recovery, I dunno. You could try to find a Heal Bell user, but that means you're stuck with Flareon, and I think the only Red Pokemon with Aromatherapy is Vileplume.

Make sure you get dat Genesect!
-
You're either thinking of its pre-evos or its shiny form.

Alright, here's what I got to say after doing a few test runs with your team. It's good, not mind-blowingly fantastic. Here's some things that worked well after some tweaks: Eventually, you're gonna run into crep. And he'll use that fucking Lopunny. And you'll Hi Jump Kick. And his Sash will kick in. And you will rage. There's a bunch of perks in a multi-strike attack that your team could stand to benefit from. Double Kick on Blaziken, despite how weak it is, worked best for me. I found Analytic on Porygon2 worked better for me; as it will give you a consistent boost to your moves as opposed to getting steered away by others' EVs who have them set up especially to force Downloaders to steer clear of the Special Attack boost. That, and you're not running Trick Room on your team, so...why not?

Man, you really sweat the details.

Hark you sexy slut beast. Anyway, time for the next pic. EDIT: The camera that I had had absolutely terrible picture quality. I hope you don't mind.

He's right, it's a bit different from Smash Bros. ...a bit. EDIT: "We're aiming for the end of next year." - A dude from Namco Bandai on the release of the next Smash Bros. games.
-
no, now I'm the one who has to make up all the bad puns Whatever it takes, dude. Sleep is as important as staying hydrated, well-fed, etc. Just ask Ame.
-
I can wait until the next Smash Bros comes out next year I got to play the game when they came to Toronto for the CNE. Had some different elements to it but overall I wasn't too impressed. As for characters, Big Daddy was the only dude I was able to use decently.

Update. - Pokemon Black 2 - Some marathon game of Monoply that I and some others have had going for a few days now - Mario Kart 7 - Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Name a popular N64 game and I'm probably playing it.

Vs. Shade 6 I didn't get the log! Shoot! I got some kind donations from JellyMan in preparation from Shade. cuz...you know...#yolo. $R much appreciated nonetheless. It gave me enough to fulfill my evil ambitions! become an Ace Member, which I said I was interested in doing for the hell of it. Anyway, onto the battle, where I discovered the value of Toxic Spikes. Keeping my word that Tentacruel would see action earlier, the use of Toxic Spikes, with the knowledge that there are no Ghost-type spinners, and that the only Ghost-Poison pokemon all levitate, it completely turned the battle in my favor and won me a match even through a late-game scare. Basically how it went was: - Salamence went out first vs. Sableye - Due to a Lum Berry, it took two Will-O-Wisps to burn Salamence - Tried to take out Sableye through a burn but failed - Switched to Tentacruel while Sableye recovered - The ensuing switch to Gengar allowed me to place Toxic Spikes <= Critical turning point! - Gengar puts Tentacruel to sleep, forcing a switch to Espeon who dies from the ensuing Shadow Ball - JSC chases Gengar in favor of Sableye, who gets hit with a hefty Night Slash - Will-O-Wisp from Sableye is wiped out by a Lum Berry and it dies to Megahorn - Dusknoir misses twice with Will-O-Wisp, takes two Night Slashes and dies from Toxic Spikes-induced poison - Golurk Rock Polishes, hits JSC with DynamicPunch and takes a Night Slash - Another DynamicPunch to JSC, another Night Slash to Golurk and it dies from poison the next turn while JSC beats himself to death - Jolteon goes out against Jellicent, hits it with Thunderbolt, and Jellicent dies from poison at the end of the turn - Chandelure takes a Ghost Gem-boosted Shadow Ball and dies from the poison as well - I send out the sleeping Tentacruel against Gengar and let Gengar beat it to death with Shadow Ball, sent out Salamence and Gengar KO's him with another Shadow Ball - Jolteon returns and takes out Gengar with a critical hit from Shadow Ball Such a satisfying finish.
