For those who didn't get Roober, Tim gets a specific and very cute Water/Poison pokemon to deal with both your STAB. I am not aware what the one tackling Eufur is, but my bet is on a fox I've seen in the battlers folder and am lazy to take a look right meow.

When you reach the 1500 mark and have to create a new alt in order to try a new team and you have some easy games that make you love certain pokemon http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-310863004

You do know that egregious has 2 opposite meanings.... Posts like this make me feel chuffed.

Thank you Sync for your input. I'll try the Excadrill option, but that means I should sub SR on Clef with Flamethrower, as I'll need the fire attack, otherwise Ferro and Skarm will become soon big problems. I do not really understand the point of lead Aero with 2 attack moves, but I'll check how it works on the field and present the results back here. The reason I had Zone was to form a AeroMag core, different than the usual DragMag, since Aero does not like the Steels either and can work much easier without them. The problem with Starmie is that it cannot keep the steels in the game long enough to cause them true trouble. I'll try your suggestions and see how it goes.

Ok Season 1 only had 12 episodes. That's not few considering the manga goes in a very slow pace. If you liked the opening, here's the original song. Too bad the lead singer is not wearing a bald cap. I was listening to it with my cat while seated in the living room. When it ended, I was living at the top of a mountain with a pet tiger

Go to the mall and take the first quest. The others are in the police station. If you look at your right, you may find a register.

Unfortunately, the speed tiers are very different in UU and OU, so even if I used salac, I wouldn't have accomplished much. Remember that M-Aero is in UU and it completely outspeeds the entire UU and OU meta if invested properly, and that includes even certain set-up sweepers at +1 (gyara, Zard, etc). I don't know if using the above set will help Chest, as it ends up with mind games in the end, when the 50/50 is forced. It works well as it is now, and the only issue I have is with Starmie's EVs not making it bulky enough. I know it's not supposed to, but opponent Starmies seem bulkier. It may be just the feeling that the grass is always greener on the other side, or they just didn't like the speed. Anyway, it seems I am not used to this team yet, thus making bad decisions when playing. If you have any suggestions for different mons to use, I'm at your service. Red I didn't catch that, so if you could, elaborate here or via pm. Also, no comment on the team, lol ?!

Hello Rebornians!!! Given it's Christmas time and everybody is caught up in the holiday cheer, people start playing pokemon even more aggressively. So... I thought "Why not make a team... that's AGAINST the most fanatics of religion?". So, here's a team that consists of 3 pokemon coming from space, one relic from the ancient times, one pokemon practicing voodoo/magic, and an x-men. Not really. It's just 6 pokemon I rarely or never use in the game and wanted to try them out in the new meta. With Hoopa around it may prove difficult, but It's worth a shot. Surpisingly the team is somewhat decent, however I might need to change it a bit to make it stronger. And where would I find a better place to do so than here? Comment, judge, criticise, help me, like and subscribe! Without further ado, here are my lovely pokemanz. There is no spoon (Alakazam) @ Life Orb Ability: Magic Guard EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Psyshock - Focus Blast - Shadow Ball - Encore This guy is smart, good-looking, and hella fast. He's there to break your stallers, outspeed and kill your faster threats, all while not caring about hazards or status or anything in particular. Sometimes he cannot make the needed kill without the life orb, so I put it there over sash to boost his killing potential. When enough of the enemy team is weakened, he can work as a late game sweeper so it's my off-chance win conditon. Usually he's brought mid-game to kill the stalls, and that's it. The Juggernaut (Chesnaught) @ Leftovers Ability: Bulletproof EVs: 252 HP / 108 Def / 148 SpD Impish Nature - Spikes - Spiky Shield - Drain Punch - Leech Seed Alright, this one is partially a tribute to Chase, who I know loves this pokemon. He's the x-man of the company, and as the name suggests, he is the physical wall. The moveset is self-explanatory. It works as a Ferrothorn that can actually fend for itself against Keldeo and slower threats like Conkeldurr, all while keeping some momentum for the team. Given it has trouble with birds, the other members ie Aerodactyl and Magnezone come to his aid, while he checks the common enemies of the meta. The sand-team spam is walled all together in front of this creature, as it stops Ground, Rock, Water, Electric and Dark attacks with minimum damage. It stops the choiced mons and gives me a chance to seed them while regaining strength with drain punch. There is the belly drum possibility, but unless you use it with a salac berry, you will be just ruining chestnaught for the game. Classic Rock (Aerodactyl) @ Aerodactylite Ability: Unnerve EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Stone Edge - Aerial Ace - Aqua Tail - Roost Now that's a mega you don't see often. Aerodactyl is a beast not used much in OU, simply because it does not have enough moves to do the trick while others can alternate and keep different sets. However, it not being so much used can confuse the opponents who did not come prepared and thus net me kills I wouldn't even dream of before. It is very afraid of Steel types, since I didn't give it EQ, but it stops fire, flying, and the occasional u-turn, which is nice as it is. Tough Claws helps boost his awesome power without a life orb, and all two of the moves become stronger than ever. Stone Edge is the obligatory nuke STAB, while Roost helps me stay alive. Contrary to other megas, Aerodactyl's main role is not sweeping but punching holes in the opponent's team early and mid game, so the others could demolish them. It's speed helps net some kills no matter how you play with it, which is nice. You could stop certain threats in their tracks and work as another win-con if you are lucky. Space Invaders (Starmie) @ Leftovers Ability: Natural Cure EVs: 252 HP / 32 Def / 224 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Scald - Reflect Type - Rapid Spin - Recover It's been a while since I used Starmie, and this set is the first one I make with Reflect Type, so bear with me. Classic spinner with some defenses, gets the job done and throws some random burns if he wants to. Works mostly as support that does not die immediately. This is the only member I consider changing, but it works well so far, so wynaut keep it? Really there is not much to say about this one, apart from that it's cute, I love it, you love it, and has soooooo big potential to kill you if you choose to give it analytic that is. U.F.O. (Magnezone) @ Choice Scarf Ability: Magnet Pull EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk / 30 SpA / 30 Spe - Volt Switch - Thunderbolt - Flash Cannon - Hidden Power [Fire] Another mon I rarely use. Straightforward set. Magnezone kills Steel types that bother Alakazam and Aerodactyl. Sometimes I need to double switch to lure them in, however it nets me enough kills against the likes of Ferro, Scizor, other Magnezone using Flash Cannon against my beloved Clefable, Jirachi, and weakened Metagross and Excadrill. Sadly it cannot kill Bisharp due to it Sucker Punching all the time, however it can lure the attack for me to bring in Chestnaught safely. Also, Skarmory has become rare. Again, role is to get rid of the obligatory Steel types of the opponent, while weakening the other members as much as it can. Cannot touch Heatran, but I have others to do so, like Aero and even Starmie. Apollo 13 (Clefable) @ Leftovers Ability: Magic Guard EVs: 252 HP / 144 Def / 112 SpD Calm Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Stealth Rock - Moonblast - Soft-Boiled - Calm Mind Last but not least, the specially defensive pokemon. I gave some Def EVs to keep it safer from physical mons attacks. Only 1 offensive move, to keep SK which is much more needed than Flamethrower, and I already have HP-fire on Magnezone. Moonblast for some damage, and CM to keep the damage racking. Soft-boiled is there to keep me healthy while I roll. Even if this is not the most optimal set in terms of killing the steel foes, it weakens the enemy pokemon not only with hazards but also with spamming moonblast. Cannot touch other set-up sweepers, however you wouldn't stay in on those anyway. It can stop Zard-Y and stall the sun rounds, without buffs. I was wondering whether I should change it to a wish-protect set to provide health to the other members, but in hindsight, the others can self-heal while those who cannot, wouldn't stay alive long enough even if they wanted to. So thoughts? I'd appreciate comments and suggestions, since a 3rd person's view matters most, because it points out things that I, the creator, may not be able to pinpoint due to my excitement of creating the team in the first place. Take a break from Redemption and come back for some classic old OU, which we all love and serve. Importable Here are a few replays for you to see the team in action. They don't show much, but they are nice to watch. Low ladder, all of them And if I offended any of you, I am sorry. The intro was a joke. I realized the possible symbolism only after I made the team. I had no intention of offending anyone's beliefs. If I don't speak with some of you, happy holidays, merry Christmas and happy Hanukka. May you live and prosper.

I do believe we got a little side-tracked here. One could not argue against the methods people in peril use to boost their morale, by using their imagination. Not at all. In fact I approve of this method being used to tell a story, instead of shoving the truth on your subordinates' faces, crystal clear, raw, and... ugly. As Tomas said, that's what pirates did to pass the time as easily as possible for them. The Mediterranean sea was once a paradise for pirates. Rape, pillage, plunder, that was... every second Tuesday for them. Even so, with all the supersticion, they were humans at sea. They are, of course by no means, your everyday sailor, as they are much darker figures with no ethical bounds, ready to grab any possible chance to get their hands on treasure or just an easy living. That's why I even proposed, among others, the "treasure chest" pokemon when you still asked for submissions. At the same time, people connect them to the sea, because that's their "workplace". Even if someone calls themselves an expert on pirates, that does not really have an impact on the vast majority of people who only know them by various commercial means. I mean, they were once the terror of the seas; furious sea-bandits who could not care less about your life. They are born at sea, they live in the sea, and they most likely die in it, if lucky. Modern pirates (and no I'm not talking about Pirate Bay and Internet Pirates) in the coasts of Somalia operate in a similar fashion, without the supersticion. But since you are taking things the ghosty way, Mary could always hint at it while drunk: an example: you mention your friend Catherine and Mary says while drunk "cats. black cats. I hate 'em, matey". Anyway, I'm not the one writing this and I agree with Huk that one cannot fit everything together without creating a cluster of information, that the player usually passes by, uninterested. About turtles, while I never needed to search for what Kelon meant before you tried to connect it to the Tortuga (I mean tor-toise, tor-tuga, who saw that coming?) mostly due to origin, in terms of pronounciation it would go best as Khelon, or Chelon or even Helon. Kelon works as well, even if it does not let a native realise it right away.

edit: sorry for the little fence of text, I got Hukuna'd ... That's valid. However, certain types are connected to specific traits. If I were to present an example, I would not have a savage trainer/leader raise plants or meditate with psychic types. It is understood that the author decides how to connect the type to the leader's personality, but even so, that link needs to have some logic behind it. With high skill, almost any connection is do-able. That does not mean though, that one should over-extend themselves, pull rabbits out of magic hats, and try to make the weirdest combinations possible. That said, the amount of things you learn about a character, and the deeper the knowledge you have about them, the more you can understand why they are affiliated with certain types. Yet again, I'll need to present Hardy's and Cain's examples from Reborn. Their personalities may or may not match the general traits of a type, but they are expressed in the way they see the world, and how they act on it. Therefore, if one tries to present us with a leader whose persona does not allow you to guess the type straight away, he must show us the reasons behind this. The canon games are hated because the leaders have no active role in the story, i.e we do not learn anything about them; at least that's the case for most of them. When it comes to Mary's case, I was fervent about her being the Water type leader, even if the only thing we had was her pirate theme. I was glad I was proven wrong about this one, and I'm expecting to know more about Mary as the story goes on, simply because her being ghost type, still does not "add" well. Some backstory or comments here and there about her motivation into choosing such a peculiar type is much needed in my honest opinion. Perhaps even a sidequest with her. The mood is set with the great abandoned ship but that's it. A ship could still be water, it hints towards it at least. In conclusion, while one's type of preference is not necessarily bound to their character, it must be depicted somehow on the leader's behavioral patterns, speech patterns or quirks, in order to have a form of justification. This is supposed to be a world in which pokemon are real and people's lives revolve around them. One does not choose a type "just because". I do not disapprove on Mary's having an unusual type compared to her personality, I am merely expressing my hope for more backstory on how she got to choose said type, and how that becomes a part of her life.

One-Hundred Push-ups One-Hundred Sit-ups One-Hundred Squats And run 10 Kilometres EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! That, my friends, was the training of the champions. The sort of power you earn from an easy task when repeated can make you accomplish great feats, acheive any goal and become a hero for fun. This is... Saitama, you everyday generic person who may live next door and play video games, until monsters attack the city. Then, he must lose his hair and fight crime in Oppai fashion. You know you like him. Once we went from manga to anime he became viral in just a few days. However... Do you know him? Do you know his universe? Do you even know who Garou and SilverFang are? Prove it. Comment here. Argue with each other and give us your best... PUNCH-lines.

These were my thoughts as well, and seeing her character makes me drop the other possibilities I had in mind, which were Dragon and Steel. Dragon because it resists all types of pokemon she so easily gives us, but that would require a fervent personality she lacks Steel because of her deep connection to machinery and the mere fact that the dual-typed steel pokemon probably have the best potential to counter any threat. Being a pokemon professor means she has conducted research on the matter and probably reached the most logical result. May need personal characteristics similar to Flobot's to accomplish something similar, but is a guess worth mentioning.

What's up weebos and otakus! I am certain you all are familiar with AMVs (Anime Music Videos), which are scenes of your favorite anime mashed together under a nice musical piece or an inspirational playlist that highlight points of the story or just make a battle a lot cooler. However, don't forget where all the mythos you witness in the anime came from. That's right... the Manga! MMVs are not well-known simply because certain groups of people regard manga as the "newspaper in front of the TV", even if some times the design on paper may be far superior to that of the picture. MMVs have their own quirks and are quite different from AMVs in their presentation and technical features. They add in the movement that the manga lacks and so they bring the design into life, without messing up with the original artwork, but building upon it. If you have a good artist and the right material, you can work wonders. So without further ado, here are a few of my personal favs, and I encourage you to search and post your own here!

I need Cepheus to guess on this one: what type of pokemon would a gym leader, part time professor, use ?
