  1. #Legendary Shaymin and it's Sky forme are two of the most interesting Pokemon I've ever used competitively - particularly because I haven't any experience with Gen 4. This Pokemon hits like a TRUCK with Seed Flare and Serene Grace can ....alright, I know Serene Grace is one of my least favorite abilities, but in Ubers, it's nice to flinch your way into some momentum. No comparison with the other flowers, even when non-Sky forme, to be head here. #FloatLikeABeautifly... ...sting like a Beedrill. This thing's automatically my favorite mushroom Pokemon due to the best dual type anything could possibly have in Grass/Fighting - but like Shaymin, this thing has competitive viability too - hanging out in OverUsed thanks to it's combination of the wonderful Technician ability and moves like Mach Punch and Bullet Seed, along with the nevermiss sleep inducing move Spore. It's also not a zombified bug that's BRAIN CONTROLLED by the mushroom. Poor Parasect. #Squad-OnPoint??? GetIt? Point?...becuase cacti are pointy...ah, whatever. As a Southwest girl, I admire pretty much all of the Cactus-esque Pokemon - but this thing isn't your friendly prickly pear. It's 'Dex entry basically indicates that this thing follows desert travelers in gangs, waiting to do something -probably- grisly to said traveller when they catch up to them. That's delightfully scary, Cacturne. This thing also gets access to Sucker Punch -and- Spiky Shield and can be an offensive terror in NU. I like me some offensive grass types. B-b-b-....But Cactus-san....I n-needle your love... #ThanksObama Like Grass, Ice is a very swell offensive typing and pretty bad defensive typing. However, Abomasnow doesn't try to front. It's bread and butter is in it's equally high attack AND special attack, allowing for it to run mixed offenses and put pressure on teams. It's Mega evolution is fun to use as well. #Deadlock So, both of the carnivorous plant Pokemon have limitations in usefulness and I've enjoyed using both in different ways. Starting with Victreebel, Victreebel served as my teams Grass type in one of my first runs (I'm 25, I don't remember which anymore) of Pokemon ever. It's a pretty hard hitting Pokemon. Competitively it's either Sun Sweeper or Bust however. With access to Sleep Powder and strong moves, this thing could be problematic under the right weather condition thanks to Chlorophyll, but otherwise it's a sitting duck. Carnivine has access to Leech Seed AND Knock Off, as well as a powerful Grass STAB in Power Whip, which allows for it to dance around opponents as a somewhat... tanky attacker in PU. It's got an ideal movepool for those who like Semi-stall or Balanced teams...just doesn't have the stats.
  2. If I were to have a theme as a trainer, it would have to be percussive, but also feature a bit of haunting piano. A little bit of edge mixed with a quieter bridge - and finally, horns. Whenever RuneScape started replacing their .MIDI tracks with orchestral work, they've hit on some great themes.
  3. http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pu-290014305 So, for those of you that don't know, PU is now an official tier. BEARS.
  4. Ikaru, I appreciate that you even tried at all. I know I'm an unbearable person sometimes and I get that - but I am thankful for the well wishes. #MegalladeBuddiesForLife #EvenIfYouActuallyHateMe YES. A FREE WIN! Thanks, Nas! Thanks-...it's alright, Shia can have it. I've taken a liking of PokeHilda pics recently, so if you stumble across any of those you like send 'em my way. Yeah, it is a shame, you should get on that before the rum is gone. YOUALREADYGAVEMEYOUWHYAREYOUSTRESSINGSOMUCHOML-.... I love you, Ame. Thank you. For you. For the well wishes. It's kinda cute when Ikaru stutters. Chicks dig that, friend. ....well, some of them. For some reason. You mean more like lose every battle because the man is a hax lord ONLY when he battles me, AMIRIGHT? I'll try to at least pitch him a good time from here on out. Thanks, Skitty! :]] Thanks, Abyss! You're actually on time, I think. Let's fix that some time, alright Reborn's Best Dedenne.....I'm not even sure I spelled the Pokemon's name right. Thanks, Mde! THANK YOU ALL. (you too magmawaffle, even though you weren't punctual DESPITE ROSE CLAIMING IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY A DAY EARLY. <3)
  5. I think my biggest gripe with the playoff rankings is Baylor being left out and Ohio State being put in when Jeff Long supposedly is citing strength of schedule as a metric thus far, and another metric was conference championships - which have yet to be determined, making strength of schedule a lofty 50% important in these initial rankings -IF- consistency was present. Virginia Tech -is- a more impressive non-conference game than anyone Baylor has played this season -BUT- this a particularly a season in which there are other teams who are undefeated who have played similar schedules thus far - TCU - Michigan State - Memphis ??? Alabama being in doesn't concern me. They and LSU have a tilt this Saturday and if Bama loses they are officially -out- of contention. If they win, they will quite clearly have the sexiest schedule among one-loss programs.
  6. Gurl, don't you worry 'bout dat. Yes. Thought that counts. Thank you! Thanks, Solarance! Hi, my name is Hilda, nice to meet you. Thanks, Blanchette! Most respectable..... Alright, I'll take it, it's not everyday someone says something so nice to me. Thanks, I hope I do too! Thanks Simon! Geaux Tigers. Riff Ram Rah Zoo (Let's Go TCU!), .......OOOOOOO-O-OoooOooooh *tomahawk chop* ....Fuck Skype, Amiright? Thanks, Combat Medic! TY Tomas! Aww. Thanks Tim! Likewise! Thanks Chubb! Thanks Hiss~ Gracias, amiga! le no Mike doesn't know how to party. Thanks Shing! Thanks, Trevo! Likewise! Thanks, Cyaloom! Thanks, Azery! Thanks, Flux! Thanks, Author! GG, No re-. I'm just kidding. I'm only a little salty. Thanks, Stratos! Me too!
  7. As of right now, your one seed is Clemson. This is a fair assessment. Clemson has everything you could ask for right now. They're undefeated, they have playmakers on offense AND defense, and they have quality wins. The second best team at this point, according the college football committee, is LSU. If the SEC ended perfectly in my eyes, the LSU Tigers are the SEC champion this season. Supposedly, Brandon Harris is becoming a better passer. Leonard Fournette is still Leonard Fournette, and Les Miles still knows how to coach defense. This week, the Bayou Bengals are immediately at risk of falling out of the bracket, headed to Tuscaloosa to take on four seed Alabama - a team the committee respects enough to put above several other undefeated teams. The three seed is Ohio State. Next 2 Up - Notre Dame, Baylor The committee liked what they saw from the other contest the Irish played in - against Temple - even if the once-hapless Owls made it a four quarter affair that was very much in doubt with 5 minutes on the game clock. The only loss the Irish have is to the comittee's number one team in Clemson. Baylor seems to have gotten shafted to me - but it's really no surprise. The Bears didn't go out of their way to challenge anybody non-conference, and as such as low as SIXTH. Coach Briles and AD Ian McCaw have to hope that Baylor continues their style of play against the gauntlet that is their remaining schedule - which will help along with teams above them losing - but if Notre Dame doesn't fall again, the Bears could be in trouble even IF they win out, it seems like.
  8. #TEAMFURRET The beginner normal rodents have a ridiculous ability to field HMs, and Furret is just the cutest one, able to Frisk items you may be hunting for, as well as take them personally with the ability to learn Thief. If you have a desire to at least have something cute on your team for most of your field duties, you can't go wrong with Furret. #SmOgonbUrd #FearMe I really didn't want to pick Talonflame....honestly. I didn't.........but compared to it's competition in this category, there's too many things to like about it. Let me start with Gale Wings because that's the most obvious one. Priority Acrobatics, Brave Bird, and Roost is a fantastic little advantage it has over other birds, even those that aren't a part of the beginner trope! Flame Body - it's other ability - is what sold me me on it however. This thing is able to fly AND hatch your eggs faster - this is good if you like to breed for competitive quality Pokemon, allowing you to fly (if playing in Kalos) between the Day Care and the Judge while carrying 5 eggs. Fearow has nested into my heart though, being a formidable pre-Julia bird Pokemon to choice with Sniper boosting it's critical hits to devastating levels. Unlike several birds in this category, Fearow has the learnset that best accompanies it's stats. #GirlPower Wormadam-Trash is vastly underrated as a Pokemon. Granted, I don't give a crap about Mothim - but when we're talking about butterflies and competitive, they all do the same thing - and that's what makes me appreciate Wormadam's differing quality. It's able to learn Toxic, Protect, Stealth Rock, and a steel type STAB and it's sustainability can be a little difficult to deal with in lower tiers. If you like Quiver Dance set up, virtually every other Pokemon barring Beedrill and...haha...Ledian and Ariados can do that. Beedrill is a close second, being the kind of offensive nightmare that I like out of most Pokemon, but I really do -for now- like Wormadam more. I'm not gonna sell out and say Pikachu for best Pika-Clone. It's not a clone of itself. #Actually-useful I forgot Emolga was a pika-clone. Emolga though, is one of the things I think a lot of us, even the Gen-5-haters, would say Gen 5 got right. This clone is actually very worthy of tipping your cap to. It's ability Motor Drive grants it an immunity from a usual weakness, instead boosting the Pokemon's Speed. It has access to Agility and Baton Pass, which allows you to set up Pokemon that may otherwise get left in the dust, while possibly even getting help from an unsuspecting or unaware opponent thanks to Motor Drive. Played correctly, this Pokemon can really annoy your opponent, and lead to victory through unorthodox means. #THEGOO.... Dragonite came very close, but erryone seems to like calling me 'Hildra' and this thing has a couple of neat abilities in Gooey and Sap Sipper, as well as a wide variety of moves to choose from. The Assault Vest also comes with this thing, and they pair nicely. Pokemon that can take a hit AND dish out damage are well liked in my book.
  9. LSU at Bama - CMON TIGERS. FSU at Clemson - ....I can't believe I'm saying this...but Let's Go Noles?....*goes to wash her mouth out with soap* TCU at Oklahoma State - Horned Frogs It's finally November. The CFP rankings are beginning to be released TODAY. and this weekend is officially #ShowdownSaturday after two weeks where we have lots of "meh" matchups. Few Thoughts: - The Temple Owls deserved to remain ranked after taking Notre Dame to the brink. - Duke got only half back when the ACC suspended the officiating crew following it's loss to Miami, as there is a high probability the Hurricanes should have lost that game. - You know what Iowa State has done that Oklahoma hasn't? BEAT TEXAS. The Sooners better be awake for this one, because looking at common opponent in that instance makes the Cyclones DEMAND respect. With a tilt in Waco looming next week, this one at home has trap game written all over it.
  10. Some bad news... Arbok -won't- be joining us after an executive decision. Aside from Glare, there's not many redeeming qualities against Corey that make it really unique - as Mud Bomb is just too far above the cap to tediously bark orders for in exchange for disobedience, and more tragic, it's STAB physical movepool just doesn't do enough to make me happy. However, there will be a Poison type in it's place, getting it's first official Reborn League experience under it's belt. Meet Koffing. The Weezing family's signature niche is being able to stay immune to Ground type attacks and brush off physical abuse with ease, while causing utilitarian-esqe problems for the opponent. For Corey, it will be a Pokemon to use against the Corrosive Mist field that awaits. Clear Smog will eliminate Corey's buffs/debuffs after getting hit Assurance serves as a coverage type attack. Gyro Ball serves as another coverage attack Self-Destruct will serve as a panic button in order to secure victory.
  11. Halloween and Valentine's Day are easily tied for my least favorite holiday. Both of them are ridiculously commercialized and don't really hold any value whatsoever. School doesn't take off either occasion, and truth be told, there comes a time where both feel like they are more obligatorily ritualistic in order to make your kids/partner happy. One should always try to make their children and their companions feel loved - We hardly need stupid money-sink holidays for it. Also, screw fear - it's mostly unneeded after we learn a couple of lessons about the way life works.
  12. Heck yeah I'm going to use Litleo later on. That's a great Pokemon. Right now I'm going to spend some time getting Facade for Vigoroth. Right now I'm looking at something potentially like this. This team allows for me to start by using Corey's T-Spikes or Poison statusing moves or field against him by clearing things early with Vigoroth, particularly things that trouble Hypno (like Skuntank) before sending in Arbok to remove the Spikes. Flaaffy/Ampharos will be able to lead and kill the field with ET, as well as handle Crobat. From there, Everything else will be there to ensure damage gets delt. How does that team look?
  13. Okay, the next trainer is literally Corey, and I've got a couple of options, as well as a few more things to decide if I want to use. Field Effects start becoming a real problem with Corey, so the executive decision, at least for this match, was to bench Pikachu for either Butterfree or Flaaffy in order to clear the field with either Gust or Electric Terrain. For Corey's Crobat, I figured I would go with Flaaffy, so that's currently what's being grounded up. The only other for sure selection for this battle is Hypno due to it's amazing Special Defense. So, if there are event Pokemon up in the Beryl Ward pre-Corey I can pick up (was considering Gothita) you guys should let me know. Anything but a certain psychic Feline everyone uses, of course. Servine and Pancham will be benched - Fearow is a possible bench - and I -had- been rolling with Granbull over Loudred in order to start preparing Granbull for Kiki, but that's obviously getting benched. The Onyx Arcade offers Nidoking - except I like Nidoqueen more and that's what I was going to save my moon stone for - but that -is- an option. Here are some other Box Pokemon - tell me who you think might shine in this battle! And if you think I should get some other Pokemon up through the Beryl Ward, let me know!

    Litleo Event

    If you're planning on tackling Mechanightmare before Florinia there are three things I would recommend. 1. Potions 2. the ability to put Klingklang to sleep 3. Leech Seed. Stall is the most effective way of taking Klingklang down at this part of the game - because Klingklang has Charge Beam at it's disposal, along with a Steel STAB and Discharge that will rip you apart if you try to go with offense.
  15. BADGE COUNT: 2 So far, the theme of this team seems to be "the Schemers" - with both Hypno and Pikachu having access to Nasty Plot, Pancham looking to evolve into a Dark type, and Servine being contrarian in the future. Artwork will come. Hopefully. Also, the ShinyBox has been updated with the MALE and FEMALE versions of powerful staraptor Pidove. Meet Amoldo and Audrey. http://prntscr.com/8vu7th
  16. That pre-Florinia grind. That Oleander getting a friend. @WongTong - Pancham was specifically MY suggested replacement for Makuhita that early in the game in a former thread known as "The Axe" - and I meant to have it bumped up to be a regular encounter in the Slums in the event that Makuhita was removed - I think Ame may have reduced the encounter rate for Maku, but because of the sentimental value, Pancham is going to be the test dummy for DillybarCray, so I can see if it's as intended - A less effective Fighting Type with the ability to pan out. Hariyama evolving at 26 was somewhat cheese. ---- Drowzee has insanely high special defense, which can be helpful against special fighting types - like a certain Lucario Kiki has. It may still struggle against Corey as he has some fearsome physical attackers, including Skuntank - as well as a bad matchup in Gengar - but it's redeeming quality is the egg move Nasty Plot. If I can find something on his team to freely set up on, he's in trouble. The goal however is to evolve Drowzee into Hypno - who also has a level 26 evolution - before Florinia. @Generalguy64 - Uproar is pretty good, it's also above the cap in it's learnset for now, so Echoed Voice will have to do until then. @Darvan - I've never been keen on shiny Pokemon personally, and I felt like since the encounter rate is higher and because I'm not so keen personally on using them unless the pokemon is just super amazing, I would honor them by only nicknaming my shinies (barring an overwhelming consensus from you guys saying I should name ALL of my Pokemon.) - Grimer isn't bad, but I also have a Koffing in my PC too, and I prefer it over Grimer in terms of use. Question of the Day - Do I gotta nickname 'em all - or should I continue only naming my shiny catches?
  17. I'm well aware of how good Cradily is, and that's the reason Pancham is on the squad in the first place. I'm familiar with Makuhita's dominance and I'm....quite frankly still impressed it wasn't moved backwards a bit. However, I'm not looking for a similar experience from last time!
  18. So, I figured I would play this game for realsies this tim-..HEY. STOP LAUGHING AT ME. STOP IT. STOP. STOOOOOP. anyway... I recently began to pick this game up again with the intent of playing farther than I've ever gotten before. I currently have beaten Julia and am in a little bit of a grinding spot after picking up Cut. Here's the Squad: Drowzee: Nasty Plot, Confusion, Hypnosis, Headbutt - Ability: Inner Focus - Nature: Calm Pancham: Cut, Work Up, Karate Chop, Slash - Ability: Iron Fist - Nature: Calm Loudred: Echoed Voice, Stomp, Howl, Bite - Ability: Soundproof - Nature: Naive Servine: Leaf Tornado, Vine Whip, Leech Seed, Tackle - Ability: Contrary - Nature: Docile Butterfree: Sleep Powder, Gust, Supersonic, Confusion - Ability Compound Eyes - Nature: Naughty --- ShinyBox Oleander (Grimer)
  19. All five of my NFE favorites are useable in competitive play. Prinplup is a cutie. Eviolite boost allows for it to be one of the tankiest hazard controllers in NU with it's access to Stealth Rock and Defog, and with it's ability Defiant, it makes others think twice about defogging or switching in their Intimidate checks into it. It's also a prideful Pokemon, like moi. Gabite to me is the coolest looking Pokemon in it's line - and considering this thing evolves into Garchomp, that's saying a lot. in PU, it's a viable offensive Rock setter and is fantastic defensively with access to the Dragon type, the Eviolite, and the ability Rough Skin. You could also go Toxic and Roar to phase out your opponent to residual damage. Unless you have an ice type to deal with or Clefairy on the other side of the field, Gabite can make it's mark in a PU match. Togetic was officially demoted to NFE with the introduction of Togekiss in the 4th generation, but it's amazing bulk with the Eviolite along with it's supporting moves Defog, Roost, Wish, Heal Bell, and statuses give it a home in RU. I've always liked Togetic since Gen 2 and was sad when it wasn't a good Pokemon after evolving it in a story run - but nowadays it can be very difficult to deal with in the best tier in all of Smogon. Doublade climbs even higher than Togetic, all the way up to UU. The Steel/Ghost type Pokemon is immune to Fighting and Normal type moves, can set up offensively with Swords Dance and Autotomize, and with the Eviolite can be one of the more devestating all around tanks in the tier. With STAB Priority in Shadow Sneak and hard hitting Steel type moves, along with a Sword fighting type move for coverage against Darks, Scrappy users, and opposing Steel types, this thing is a fantastic NFE Pokemon, especially with it's final evolution being banned from OverUsed. Machoke is the only pure fighting type in PU, and one of the few types in the tier. Between No Guard and Guts, this Pokemon has some options to run. It has steel-type priority in Bullet Punch, and access to hitting Ghost types with Knock Off, alone with the ability to set up using Bulk Up, and the Eviolite again, makes this NFE very hard to hit.
  20. This week is a rather soft week around the College Football universe with only one ranked contest to boot - With Texas A&M playing Ole Miss this Saturday. Both programs are reeling after losing to Alabama and Memphis respectively, but with both teams having only one conference loss, their SEC West title hopes are still very much alive. The marquee Big 12 contest this week is being played in Oklahoma, where Baker Mayfield and the Sooners will host his former school in Texas Tech. Oklahoma will get to see a pass-first offense for the first time since playing Tulsa non-conference - a team that absolutely torched them through the air. The Red Raiders will be entering the game with a shaky defense of it's own, particularly against the run. Expect points galore in this one. From the West, this week's Pac-12 games are interesting games in which Los Angeles schools USC and UCLA are FAVORITES over #3 Utah and #20 Cal, both being unranked. The ACC has a couple of interesting games in Clemson's visiting Miami, as well as Florida State heading to a Georgia Tech team that has tapered off greatly, but still will be a difficult test due to defending the triple option. and this weeks sleepy Power 5 conference is the Big 10, with Michigan State playing Indiana and Ohio State heading to Rutgers.
  21. I mean, you could go Scarf, but if you like defense, Flybae can work just as well. Flygon @ Leftovers Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 HP / 116 Def / 116 SpD / 24 Spe Careful Nature - Defog - Roost - Earthquake - U-turn / Toxic / Dragon Tail Noivern can only be used in UU or above, which is rather unfortunate for it, but it's speed is quite advantageous. Here's a Fast Taunt set that can buy your team some momentum. Noivern @ Leftovers Ability: Infiltrator EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Draco Meteor - Flamethrower / Air Slash - Taunt - Roost With Camerupt, you don't have to go Mega if you're playing in a lower tier, but if going for OverUsed, MegaRupt is a fantastic wallbreaker and should always Mega Evolved. Camerupt @ Cameruptite Ability: Solid Rock EVs: 168 HP / 252 SpA / 88 Spe Modest Nature - Fire Blast - Earth Power - Ancient Power - Stealth Rock / Will-O-Wisp / Toxic Gardevoir should always be run Mega using Hyper Voice....unless it shouldn't. Got a problem with Swift Swimmers or Sand Rush Excadrill? Enter TraceScarf 'Voir Gardevoir @ Choice Scarf Ability: Trace EVs: 4 SpD / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Moonblast - Psyshock - Focus Blast - Shadow Ball Cryagonal is primarily used as a diverse rapid spinner option who threatens Ground types trying to set up Rocks, as well as Waters with Freeze-Dry access. Cryogonal @ NeverMeltIce / Leftovers Ability: Levitate EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Rapid Spin - Freeze-Dry - Ice Beam / Hidden Power Ground - Recover
  22. Mawile (and to an extent Azumarill) aside, I'm actually happy some of those Pokemon got the Fairy retyping. the Clefable line's secondary member is CleFAIRY. It was destined to become a fairy type by nomenclature. the Gardevoir line is actually quite a fan favorite that wasn't terrible so much as it's viability was limited. I like the current typing more personally, but I see the point here. Whimsicott is something I don't quite understand - but it makes it a little more viable outside of weather, which is appreciated. Azumarill is an interesting "back to original topic" Pokemon for me. With it having Huge Power since generation 3, and gaining priority in Aqua Jet along with a STAB physical move in generation 4, this Pokemon has seen it's viability continuously rise. Last generation it was breaking out of it's UU home for a niche on rain teams as the most powerful priority user in the rain, giving it's choice band set even more meaning than previously had. With the rain gone, the Fairy typing made it's water typing even MORE defensive and gave it another STAB to play with in Play Rough - effectively breaking the barrier between it and OU. It's always been a "decent" little 'Mon, but I'm not sure if it was a beloved Pokemon within Game Freak of if the thing had some support outside of Generation 5. Not a Pokemon I'm really keen on, but it's pretty interesting.
  23. I've been told some pretty bad disgusting things over the internet through Showdown and due to my middling experience with competitive 'mons, I get both sore losers and sore winners alike. Use the Reborn Server only, as Ame suggested. Rebornians tend not to be so wound up over battles and you can count on us to kick those that are in the teeth. Ignore commands will virtually erase the problem, as Cow, Rupe, Tomas, and several others have probably suggested. This allows you to keep using SD to ladder. There are most definitely ways around internet tough guys. Don't let them be the reason you stop enjoying competitive Pokemon.
  24. In one of the more not surprising votes, my vote went to the Aegislash line. The "Ghost" inanimates are inanimate objects that make more sense than their non-ethereal counterparts, however, I am not one of those that absolutely hates inanimate objects being the basis for a Pokemon. The fandom has proven time and time again that said Pokemon's viability and whatever the object is matter more than the fact that something is an inanimate object.
  25. The Granite Cave version exclusives from Gen III are a pair of interesting, beloved Pokemon I just can't get behind. It's easy to see what makes these two well liked when you start prattling off the types of abilities you will see between these two and their Mega Evolutions. Intimidate, Prankster, Huge Power, Magic Bounce. But these two "darlings" were just version exclusives and nothing more before Gen VI! Mawile was a pure steel type that has been CONSISTENTLY in NeverUsed since it's maiden voyage while it's Mega evolution only saw a brief window of dominance in Ubers before Primal Groudon came in and made it a niche-only adversary. It's stats are horrid when not Mega evolved and it relies heavily on Sucker Punch to beat faster threats offensively. Defensively it's most unique moves are Super Fang and Pain Split - and while Swords Dance makes it terrifying, anything that gets Swords Dance and a priority move is terrifying in the same right! There are MANY better options to use than this thing - which didn't get much out of it's recently bestowed Fairy typing and needed a Mega Evolution to climb anywhere. Sableye? It's an equally loved, equally hated Pokemon. If your cup of tea is pissing your opponent off instead of defeating them, then this was the Pokemon for you. It's literally the FACE of the ability Prankster. However, that ability didn't grace Sable's pitiful existence until GEN 5 - and this thing has been rolling since 2003! The generation before getting any kind of respite whatsoever, Smogon recommended ANYONE thinking about using Sableye to use Spiritomb instead! In it's analysis, where usually it will make a note about a Pokemon outclassing it. No punches pulled. Just "should probably use Spiritomb instead." Yet, these two Pokemon have a baffling amount of fan support, especially around a community like Reborn, where Ghosts and Fairies are arguably everyone's favorite types. Not my cup of tea though.
