  1. Request to change the words "User CP" on the control panel to something else, preferably something that doesn't sound illegal
  2. I usually turn around with my back against the door and look at them You spend like what, 20 seconds in a lift at most. That's way too little time to strike up a conversation unless you're in Austin. It's justifiable to just keep quiet
  3. Gengar also has T-bolt iirc, so rotom shouldn't be the only thing you're worried about with regards to using Krow
  4. 1v1 The only standard meta where a Trevenant can outstall Kyu-B and an Eevee can beat M-Alak http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/1v1-280152354 http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/1v1-283369630
  5. Off the top of my head, +1 M-Sharp has the exact same speed tier, Scarf/Sand Rush Exca and Scarf Hydreigon are below, Lando-T is a point of reference You're looking way too much into what I'm saying. I'm not saying Lando-T will be a centralizing threat, nor am I saying that you shouldn't change the evs on the fly. The spread I gave was a general starting point if you're planning to run QD Volc. OP had it at 252 Spe, which is why I brought it up. Take it to PMs if you have anymore arguments with what I said, it's really not nice to clutter an RMT with trivialities
  6. Lando-T was a comparison, hence why I mentioned "Up to" That's the absolute maximum speed that you need to stay relevant, hence why I suggested the change in the ev spread in the first place. 252 is overkill when you already outspeed more or less everything at that benchmark
  7. When you remove megas and legendaries, you end up having an incredibly limited pool of good fire types to pull from. Honestly speaking, you shouldn't feel cheap for using Slash either. You're expected to be able to have a team that functions efficiently on both Singles and Doubles, and the additional limits on the moves make it impossibly difficult to build a build a team that works well on both formats. Meanwhile the gym leaders get to tailor their team to their format. Having one mon, say Slash that trivialises the singles format gives you way more room to focus on a team more suited for doubles, and vice-versa And just so this post isn't a waste, I'll rate There are two things that stand out immediately when looking at the team. The first is the inherent lack of hazard removal, especially with Dragonite wanting to keep multiscale and Volcarona not wanting to switch into rocks. The second is the team's inability to deal with fairies. Running Defog Scizor > Sticky Web Galvantula is able to solve both these problems. Scizor @ Leftovers Ability: Technician EVs: 248 HP / 164 Def / 96 SpD Impish Nature - U-turn - Bullet Punch - Defog - Roost The team itself doesn't really need Sticky Web control, since the mons are already naturally fast, or have ways to augment their speed. Or they're slow af and webs don't help. Scizor fills in the two niches that you need, the ability to reliably clear rocks while providing the ability to dealing with fairies. The EVs were optimized for the current OU meta, so you can alter it to fit whatever the hell you need to check, but as it stands it acts as a M-Scizor lite, surviving three hits from M-Garde's Hyper Voice/Weavile's Knock Off/M-Meta's Hammer Arm. The moves are straight-forward, U-turn for pivoting, Roost for recovery, something something. Aside from that, something you should consider is running standard CB Dragonite > LO Dragonite, because multiscale is a bit counter-productive when run with LO Consider running Slack Off > Substitute, because recovery is really important for Bro to wall Substitute on Serp doesn't really work when you slap an Assault Vest on him, so it might be better to either run Hidden Power Fire > Substitute or change the item. For Volcarona, consider changing the EV spread to 72 HP / 252 SpA / 184 Spe, since this allows Volc to outspeed up to Scarfed Lando-T at +1 Spe while giving you a bit more bulk.
  8. Based M-Alt Is Animal Experimentation Justified?
  9. Reddit has several subreddits dedicated to porn. If that's what turns you off a website, Reddit's way worse.
  10. Banned because both Game Grumps and Commander Holly stopped their let's play of Undertale at the same place and they haven't uploaded another episode for like two days
  11. Something I noticed right off the bat was that you have absolutely nothing that you can do to Scizor. You could opt to HP Fire > HP Rock on what I imagine is techniRose, but I feel as though you'd benefit much more from running Contrary Serperior > Roserade Serperior @ Life Orb Ability: Contrary EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe IVs: 29 HP Timid Nature - Leaf Storm - Dragon Pulse - Hidden Power Fire - Giga Drain Serperior gives you a way to break stall, while still nailing Scizor on the switch. And without Heatran/M-Char, Serperior has so much less to worry about when you're spamming Leaf Storm. Everything else is standard. Another thing I noticed is that you lack a hard check to Talonflame, which nobody really appreciates having to tank. Something you can do to alleviate this issue is by running Rotom-Heat > Jolteon Rotom-Heat @ Leftovers Ability: Levitate EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 Spe Bold Nature - Overheat - Volt Switch - Will-O-Wisp - Thunder Wave This provides a secondary Scizor/Ferro check, while also absorbing burns and paras that your team particularly dislikes. Thunder Wave is the status of choice, letting Feraligatr and Serperior/Roserade set up much more easily, but Will-O-Wisp is also there for whatever physical attackers you want to cripple. It also provides the ability to wall Natural Gift Talonflame Outside that, some minor changes I'd suggest would be to run High Jump kick > Brick Break on Hawlucha. Hawlucha only gets one chance to sweep with unburden, the extra damage is worth much more than avoiding that 10% chance to hit yourself with recoil Aside from that, I'd also recommend running Ice Shard > Knock Off on Donphan. Your team lacks priority of any sort, and this lets Donphan chip off any weakened opponents without having to spend Sturdy. That's all I have, good luck with the league!
  12. Since nobody's started rating stuff, I'll get the ball rolling Also, you guys should totally abuse Aegislash and Greninja. There's a reason why we kicked them out of OU. They're your best bet against people who have an inherent advantage over you. The thing that stands out the most in this team is the lack of hazard control, which is especially important considering Talonflame is one of the only mons in your team that has an offensive presence. Something you could do to alleviate this issue is to run Reflect Type Starmie > Slowking. Slowking typically really shines in stall teams, abusing a regenerator core, and balanced teams can't really afford to shoulder Slowking because you're already compressing so many roles into each pokemon. Starmie @ Leftovers Ability: Natural Cure Evs: 252 HP / 6 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Reflect Type - Recover - Scald - Rapid Spin Reflect type lets Starmie avoid being pursuit-trapped by Sharp/T-Tar, and is overall just a really useful move to use against anything that has a nice typing to steal. Everything else is standard, Scald lets you fish for burns, recover for well, recovery, and so on. Overall a nicer alternative to Slowking, especially with your prime defoggers getting banned. Something else I noticed is that you don't really have a reliable answer to Stall either. Heal Bell is great and all, but the opponent can easily stall it out since you only have 8 uses. And while Starmie does alleviate the weakness by a bit, it really helps if you have a dedicated stallbreaker in the team. Hence, I recommend running CM Magic Guard Clefable > Cosmic Power Clefable Clefable @ Leftovers Ability: Magic Guard EVs: 252 HP / 172 Def / 84 SpD Calm Nature - Calm Mind - Moonblast - Soft-Boiled - Thunder Wave Unlike Cosmic Power, Calm Mind steadily makes you more and more powerful, and makes you an actual threat vs whatever passive thing Cosmic Power is supposed to do. And without stuff like Heatran running around, it becomes even harder to stop once you get the ball rolling. Heal Bell isn't necessary anymore because you can just send in Clefable to absorb any status, freeing up a movepool for another support move. I chose thunder wave in this case because your team really enjoys speed control. Everything else is standard That should be enough to cover all the main issues with your team. I don't want to completely deconstruct your team, so I'll stop here. Feel free to hit me up if you have any questions. Good luck with the league! Edit: Shit, is the league in doubles/triples format? If so, ignore this post. It was written with singles in mind
  13. I don't think I've ever heard someone say "Ow, my spleen". Generally people say "Ow, my chest" or "Ow, my stomach" It's like hearing someone say "Sit on my thighs, little kid"
  14. Just want to address something, Jolteon isn't forced to run two electric moves. If you really wanted to, you could opt to run T-Bolt/HP Ice/Shadow Ball/Signal Beam and still have a great time. Jolteon typically runs two electric moves because Volt Switch is an amazing utility move to have, and there are times where you want to choose to either grab momentum, or stay in and fire T-Bolts It's similar to Keldeo running Scald+Hydro Pump in the same set. There are times when you don't want to risk a miss and scald is more than enough damage, and there are times when you need the extra oomph to KO a mon
  15. iirc we're working on seperating the megas from their non-megas, it's just not a priority Mostly the mons that are seperated are stuff in banlists, ie Gengar in OU vs M-Gar in Ubers, Mawile in NU vs M-Wile in Ubers, Gallade in RU vs M-Gallade in BL, the list goes on
  16. Tankchomp best mon, hands down. He's just so versatile, being able to act as a SR lead in one game to an X-Char check in another to a mon that punishes Voltturn teams, I absolutely adore him. Also itt people who don't know what a tank is
  17. Minish cap Too bad nobody plays it
  18. Get a few common candies and reduce your Hariyama's level to level 18, then retrain him from there. He naturally learns Knock Off that way
  19. http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/rmt-rules-resources-required-reading.3534875/ Under the image resources tab are a bunch of animated/non-animated sprites, with both front and back in different gen styles Then just repost them to something like imgur, copy the bb code at the bottom right, and update your sig
  20. Banned because I miss Jontron
  21. You must have missed the whole Ellen Pao fiasco, because a large number of communities pushed for reddit to be as it is now. Also, /b/ and /r9k/ don't define 4chan. They're seperate communities under the same website. You won't see the people on /fit/ or /vp/ shouting for a beta uprising
  22. Is Halloween supposed to be Trick-or-Treat?
  23. Banned because I hate Tokyo Ghoul
