Lucario and Greninja Lucario was one of my favorites in Brawl and I still like him, glad he's returning Greninja is just awesome Charizard is cool, but I've never especially cared for it that much

It occurred to me late last night, that Dre probs coulda taken his entire team on her own... Oh well, I needed to flush out my team anywhales

Obviously it's not. Because I didn't know it was a thing until this discussion >:c And seriously, is that all you have to say? :/

I follow the D&D version. Good and Evil are a thing, but so are Order and Chaos

Yay! ^^ But in all seriousness: Glad to have you about and I hope to catch you online more ^^

I have a burrowing penis to conquer him ^^

BP is a lot harder than that. But yes, you can kill it. I find that I can usually get almost everything down to below half health, but then there's enough boosts for my opponent to take me down And yeah, Double Team isn't banned because luck. It's banned because once you get going, you become nearly impossibubble to hit (And <3 Ninjask spam, lol)

Psst, Morgy, has my fun making been sufficient? Or must I try to do more?

(19:57:23) Snow-chan: You're not surprised I have multiple teddy bears? (19:57:24) Kyoyo: No (19:57:36) Kyoyo: I would (19:57:36) Kyoyo: I plan on it (19:57:36) Snow-chan: But you are surprised I have multiple kitchen knives? (19:58:40) Kyoyo: Yes (19:58:41) Kyoyo: Wait (19:58:43) Kyoyo: Nevermind (19:58:45) Kyoyo: I realize (19:58:46) Snow-chan: Lol (19:58:50) Kyoyo: How ass backwards this is (19:58:55) Kyoyo: I just rememberd who I'm talking to (19:59:04) Kyoyo: I thought I was talking to someone who wasnt' a killer He's surprised I have multiple kitchen knives >_> What'd he think I was washing when I did the dishes? Plates?

Ttar is usually fine even with max Attack IVs. And with its defenses, it can usually tank even its own hits for the first two Swaggers Talonflame is also incredibly handy for taking out Klefki and Sableye especially. The former can't take Flare Blitzes, the latter can't inflict permanent status. Though my Whimsicott can usually take it if it's been paralyzed beforehand Bisharp is also quite nasty if the opponent can use it well, though Klefki needn't fear it Banded Scizors are evil with U-Turn. Noivern can take out one of my Pranksters, but usually get Paralyzed and is useless for the remainder of the battle As before, anything stall oriented Chansey takes anything below 400HP since subs and nonexistant attack Volcarona is okay at stopping Klefki and Sableye, but Thundurus kinda murders it and it can only take one out. It's also the only thing I've ever seen a Lum berry on outside Ubers As mentioned previously, Rotom-W is death Mandibuzz wrecks things with Taunt and Knock Off. I can confuse it, but it tanks its own hits quite well. And as long as it gets a hit off withing the first three turns, it can usually down subs and either force a switch to Banette, or remove leftovers on whatever is out. I've been forced on multiple occasions to down Banette just to remove a pesky Mandibuzz Porygon2 isn't around too much, but it has good defenses and oft carries Mirror Coat, allowing one with good skills to outplay my Pranksters Scarf Ditto is annoying as ever. It can out Swagger my Pranksters and retreat immediately for something else (like Rotom-W >_>) To take advantage of my confusion/loss of momentum do to switching Mega Mawile is annoying, esp. with TR support. Since then it outspeeds my Foul Plays. But its massive attack means in won't last many of its own hits. Azumarill is largely the same, but swapping TR for Aqua Jet Jolteon and mega Manetric are both okay, but they have weak defenses, so Foul Play usually shreds them Dusclops can't really heal, but as long as Sableye doesn't tag it with Will-O-Wisp, it can usually PP stall a lot of my Swaggers away Speaking of PP stall, RestTalk Suicune shreds my Pranksters. They can do like nothing to it, and it can even remove the status I inflict on it with T-Wave/Will-O-Wisp, all the while forcing them to sacrifice precious Swaggers and Subs to keep it from KOing/Burning them with Scald. That's another one I have to leave to Banette Contrary Serperior is the worst, thankfully T-Wave can usually keep it from being too much of a thing since it annihilates its Speed And of course, Magic Bounce: As always, Espeon can be annoying. Esp. if it swaps in when I'm Swaggering and not behind a Sub. It forces a switch, or me risking harming myself, while it can set up with Calm Minds or drop some screens. Though Foul Play does still do quite a bit of damage to its meager defense stat Xatu has been used specifically to counter PrankSwag, so enough said. It even kills my Espeon (who I run to mess with people expecting all Pranksters Absol sucks against Foul Play. Dies in one hit after a Swords Dance, and probs two without. Further, it can't do shit to Klefki without said Swords Dance. There's a reason I'm the only person that uses it >_< So there's my nich counters. I think Own Tempo is also a thing? Avalugg usually has Sturdy tho. And Smeargle, while it has surprised me once or twice when I forgot about it (Own Tempo is that little of a thing), simply cannot take a couple Foul Plays, and if it's got Spore I can always just swap to Espeon and put it to sleep, thus removing it

Well, I would have five higher level Pokemon, if I hadn't lost two of the ones I was going to have up there to my Rival And I've read that, I've been trying to not get all my normal stuff even. Though I did get Squirtle, Zubat, and Weedle, and was hoping for Ekans. But I don't intend to use Dan later on, just wanted to have Zubat about in case Dre died and I didn't get Ekans. Because Poison types are very important I used up all the trainers in this area on Not Amused. And wild Pokemon make things really slow. So Ima move onward and try to level up Dan some more, then hopefully get something to drop Ekans for. Edna may or may not tag along. I always seem to have a Pidgey in my Kanto games, so I may try to use something different this time Never used Gyarados, ever. So that's why I have Not Amused I would use Roger, but Vileplume is so ugly I just can't manage that, and I can't get Bellossom until post-E4

I'm all for limiting or banning BP I still think that Klefki is pretty clearly the main problem, not Swagger And Swagger isn't as easy as you make it sound, Sarc. It does require quite a bit of prediction. You can't rely on a 50/50 chance, and you have to watch for switches to Electric and Ground types smashing your momentum. Shore you can always Swagger and Sub while waiting for them to not hit you, but you usually can't go more than 1 for 1.5, assuming they don't have a counter like Rotom-W, Tyranitar, or Espeon/Xatu lying around

Well, I tooked nice pictoors this time. Though they'd be better if I was wearing pink and a skirt... Or actual makeup >_< Here's me with my favorite teddy bear: Me with my favorite knife: Me with the bear but closer: And a look at my face, since it doesn't really show well in the others: I may or may not add the one with the over exaggerated creepy stare later

Thanks Notus! Yeah, but I named another after you ^^ Lol, yeah, Dome fossil. I've always loved Kabutops. And I would likely have picked it just to spite TPP anywhales And that's what I did. I just went back to grind and didn't heal after >_< And you forgot part of Pesty's thingamajig. It should be: You died to save another, who died anyway Yeah... I really wanted an Ekans >_< Just beat Misty, updating in a moment

I'd far prefer that to dropping Swagger Also, Swagger isn't as easy as people make it sound. It's quite hard [Read: nigh impossibubble] to perform against a stall team well. It murders hyper offense, but that's about it. I wouldn't be running it if it was easy, that'd be no fun for me. There's a reason I mostly hate hyper offense outside Ubers (where I have yet to find a way to properly perform any other strategies >_<) Also, Seccy, the reason you see Xatu so much is probs because of my PrankSwag team. I notice a large change in the general team build on Reborn towards more stall-oriented stuff after a week or two of using that EDIT: Isn't there a way to ban Pokemon from having certain moves tho? So maybe just ban Klefki from having Swagger?

Nah, it handles quite fine in Ubers. It does die in one hit from most sweepers, but as a lead it handles fine. You could run Screens to buff your defenses, or Spikes like I do and support your sweepers. You could run Sub if you're crazy to try to get an extra barrier while, Groudon lays rocks? IDK, Sub seems pointless for that O_o But despite it's frailty, it does make for exceedingly handy utility

After facing BP a few times... It's actually quite tough to kill. I can't take down Espeon with Mandibuzz's Knock Offs, and I can't Taunt anything until I've done that If I can get a Taunt out, or somehow manage to get my Xzard to 4 DDs or so, then maybe I've got a shot (also sticky Web forces Scolipede out every few turns, it's it's not hard to kill with a special attacker) But even then, and maybe I just suck, I have a ton of trouble killing it. Espeon kills most of my main strategies, and Smeargle forces me to switch and sleep one of my weaker Pokes, thus removing any boosts Xzard had. It's really quite painful, though I enjoy the challenge of taking it down I still argue that Swagger isn'- Actually, no, I give up on that argument. and there's a solution proposed that I find quite workable and I am seriously tired of people whining about Swagger Nobody (I.E. Not a vocal majority) cared in Gen V. A lot of the arguments I've seen have been centered on Klefki. I run Klefki in Ubers and it performs okay, usually gets it's Spikes down and maybe KOs an opponent (Though a few times it's swept entire teams because Spikes damage + many Ubers have high attack) So just make Klefki Uber. Problem solved Also, I was running that PrankSwag team for a while there? I can't use it anymore because people keep 4-0ing it. Mostly people with Rotom-W or Xatu... But also Talonflame if Thudurus goes down beforehand and it gets lucky against Klefki (Though Whimsi has managed to kill one once or twice by getting insanely lucky with Stun Spore) Basically, I can't run it anymore, because like the whole server has figured out how to counter it (Though if we were to ban Klefki, I could swap that for something capable of taking on the aforementioned problems c:< ) EDIT: And oh no, %90 is very important. I've lost matches by missing Swagger at a key point (And I don't mean needing them to hurt themselves, I mean needing to be able to T-Wave them with my next Poke instead of having to waste that one on Swagger and rely on luck to pull me through)
