A Pink Cheetah

April 2nd/ 3rd Quick catchup: Got my 13th badge. Got in touch with my oldest and closest friend. On edge of depression and hope to try and bounce back with the help of some tabletop RPGing. Sitting in the loo at 4:06 AM, somehow unable to sleep. Also: Finally prestiged in Modern Warfare 3. Don't care much. Got Mass Effect 3, finished the trilogy, actually liked the ending (though BioWare coulda done better. Just saying.) Currently beating the crap out of endless hordes of Geth/ Cerberus lackeys/ Reaper forces in Multiplaying. Finally started playing White (It's been how long since it was released?) and already have a Gigalith, Archen, and more with help from brother.

Mkay. Stay off of the forums and the server for the next week and then come back and hopefully things will be better. Otherwise, if you post, then other people will notice and you will then be bothered by other people.

Well, you DID post the link to your RMT and told everyone to post on it so you could reply to it and get moar rupees. So... Yeah. Edit: This happened either yesterday or the day before. It wasn't that long ago.

This one was't exactly covered by any of those, but guys who say that they are "the best there is" and then, when they get their ass handed to them in an obvious victory by someone who clearly knows what they are doing, calls them a noob and then leaves the server. Also, people who claim that they are the best there is out there and has a team composed entirely of.... Hyper Beam and Giga Impact spamming Pokemon.

On Dueling Network, this tournament will be? Hmm. Remake deck, I must. Stop talking like Yoda, I will.

I'm in. Like seriously. Although I'll miss my Silent Magicians. Still, no Synchro cards? Hallelujah!

;~; Spiritomb?

Absol or Cacturne.

Last I saw, Cacturne could Sucker Punch Flareon to oblivion, SO GG, MY DEAR SIR. Just kidding. I fucking love Flareon as well, man. The third most adorable Eevolution, imo.(Glaceon for 2nd and Umbreon for 1st.) Flareon is just.... OmgIwannahugglesoFLUUUUUURRRRRFFFFFFFY. It's just so underapreciated by Game Freak. "Let's give it Guts as a Dream World ability!" "Shouldn't we also give it a good fire type attack? Like, I dunno, Flare Blitz?" "... Naaaaah. Flame Orb already does nothing to it, and it needs the Toxic Orb or get para'd for Guts to activate." .... Game Freak, fuck off. Minirant on Hark's journal. Oops. But yeah, I understand what you mean when you talk about your favorite Pokemon. I think that a lot of others just say the strongest one that comes to their mind as their favorite because it is good. Like Dragonite. Ok, bad choice, Dragonite is actually kinda cute. Like Excadrill. It's sprite is... Kinda meh. It's fast. And REALLY strong. I personally can't see any other reason why someone would actually choose Excadrill as their favorite. As for me, Cacturne is just... I've used it for about a decade now. (How long ago did 3rd gen come out? THAT long ago? Holy hell, I'm old. ;~; ) and it has helped sweep through more opponent in both 4th and 5th gen in Shoddy Battle and Pokemon online because of how troll it is and how badass it looks. It's a really kickass looking Pokemon. Not to mention it's Pokedex entry? *Shudders.* Pre-5th gen, it has the most terrifying Pokedex entry. (Seems like half of the Pokemon in 5th gen want to devour your soul's face.) It stalks it's prey in the desert until the prey collapses of exhaustion. Then it eats its prey, while it is still alive. I am now the creepiest person on PO. I like Cacturne. <3

[quote name='Maelstrom' timestamp='1330096552' post='26241'] possibilities... 1. Gets cybernetic arm and becomes the new Luke Skywalker 2. Gets new arm attached and becomes the new Liquid Ocelot. [/quote] I can't stop laughing.

Gastrodon. Gastrodon is a Sand team's wet dream. Most Sandstorm Pokemon have a weakness to water and Gastrodon is there to hep remove the weakness entirely. Not only that, but it is bulkier, has a great stockpile set, and excellent recovery with reliable statusing with Scald (Seems like it burns every two turns, doesn't it?) and an excellent typing with only one weakness. Grass. I'm proposing a tier change for it from Neverused up a few tiers.

Sorry Cloud, but there are two things wrong with that, one of which, I deleted. Darkrai does NOT base base 165 special attack. That would put it higher than Mewtwo. This is bullshit, as only one thing is stronger than Mewtwo special attacking wise. Deoxys-A. Also, you stated that at base 165, it hits 405 attack. Yeah. If it is base 165, then it would hit 471. You did get the actual stat right, but not the base stat. Also, someone said that Absol has that Sucker Punch STAB to work with. Yeah, that isn't its only appeal. Did you know that it has a 25% crit chance with said Sucker Punch? Also, you give it Night Slash. Which then has a 50% crit chance. It also has barely average speed, and is a great counter to OU and UU Pokemon like the Slows and Reuniclus. And about the critical hit chance, you might be asking HOW such a thing is even damndably remotely possible. I'll tell you how. Critical hit ratios are divided up into Stages, much like stats, but work quite differently from normal stat stages. Stage 1: 6.25% The standard critical hit ratio. Almost every move has it, a lot of people know this. Stage 2: 12.5% The standard for high crit ratio moves. I.e., Night Slash, Psycho Cut, Stone Edge (Absol gets all of these) Leaf Blade, Razor Wind, etc. Stage 3: 25% Somewhat difficult to reach, but possible with a certain ability and a certain item. Stage 4: 33.3% Very difficult to reach, except for those with a very nice ability and a high crit ratio move. Stage 5: 50% Yeah, this seems damndable scary. (Link here. http://www.serebii.net/games/criticalhits.shtml ) How can Absol hit 50%? Super Luck and a high critical hit ratio move. You see, Super Luck doesn't increase the critical hit stage by one, it doubles it. Meaning a Stage two attack goes up to a stage 4, and a stage one moves up to a stage 2. Add on Razor Claw, and you add an addition stage to the total. Meaning Night Slash = a 105 power move that crits 50% of the time off of base 130 attack. Did I mention Swords Dance? I might have forgotten Swords Dance. So, what can you expect from a 105 power attack off of 788 attack that crits, literally, half the time? How about "Holy shit, I'm screwed."

Demanding a revote on Absol and a revote on Crawdaunt. Also, Deoxys-S is too damn fast, has good attacking stats and can essentially set up a rape shit of damage against teams without spinners, and yes, they are quite fucking common. Also, Meloetta's decently fast with base 90 speed, extremely powerful with base 128 special attack and rather bulky with 100/77/128 ensures it'll survive against quite a few special hits, and a rather decent amount of physical ones. Slap on Relic Song, and it has a 20% chance of putting something to sleep, and then hits 128 speed and attack, making it much faster than hell of a lot in BL and even OU, and it can outpower a lot of them as well. It can effectively run an excellent mixed set, and absolutely destroy damn near any opponent in BL that goes against it.

[font=Verdana][size=3]That Bulk[/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=3]Tangela (M/F) @ Eviolite[/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=3]Trait: Regenerator[/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=3]EVs: 108 Defense/ 148 Special attack/ 252 Special Defense[/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=3]Modest Nature[/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=3]- Amnesia[/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=3]- Ancient Power[/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=3]- Giga Drain[/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=3]- HP Ground/ Leech Seed[/size][/font] Tangela is a defensive tank that will just keep giving. AncientPower for coverage with HP Ground and the occasional stat boosts, Giga Drain for STAB and healing, Leech Seed for ADDITIONAL healing and Amnesia to raise Tangela's sorta sad special defense. Even with only 300 special attack (Amazingly high for a first stage) Tangela hits like a truck and can take a truckload of damage.

1) DFGNSDZFGBN DAMMIT I HATE THAT SHIT 2) I can kinda understand. It's like in Counter strike with the AWP or the Auto Sniper. You die with it, you lose a LOT of money and you have to SPEND a lot of money to get it back, but they are so effing worth it, but still RAGE WHEN YOU LOSE IT. 3) Due to my grandfather having Degenerative Bone Disease, the same with me. Only my legs don't get better. It already almost hurts to walk and I'm not even 20 yet. Fuck you anatomy. 4) I know this feeling. I hate this feeling. A LOT. 5) I hate terrible teams. I would like clear, concise communication from at least 2 others on the team. That way, I can get my kill on. But no. It's "Hey, everybody, let's play the cannon fodder game! Ready?! CHARGE WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING!"

Chapter 1: The Decision Clavicus Vile twiddled his thumbs, his dog, Barbas, had his head resting on Vile's lap. Standing directly in front of him was Azura, beautiful as always. It was her beauty that had him stuck where he was, in Moonshadow, her Daedric realm. "So, what do you want to do?" He asked nervously. He was never nervous. But he knew that Azura had been watching him in the several thousand years that they had known each other, and the other Daedric Princes had been watching as well, but none so closesly as Hermaeus Mora, sitting on a stool not ten feet from Clavicus. He chuckled to himself. "Well now, you can always just make it vanish." He suggested "But then... the others would know of such an occurance." He chuckled again, a slight, bubbling laughter that was highly inappropriate for this situation. "This child can't just be made to vanish. I see a future in him that will save most of our very existences if he should live. And if he were to not exist, then we would all be forgotten. Save one, of course. I say... We make a deal." Azura suggested, her hands on her lower stomach. "A deal? I like deals. What kind of deal?" Clavicus asked, his sudden worry that the other other Daedric Princes would find out immediately vanished as a mention of his favorite hobby was brought up. "That will be your choice, Clavicus. However, the deal must be made with a woman who has the strength to bear the child of two Daedra, leastwise Daedra as powerful as we are. You may leave. Hermaeus, you however, will not. Not until I've talked to you privately." Azura said, dismissing Clavicus from her realm. "Oh goody. A secret conversation." Was the last thing that Clavicus heard before returning to his own Daedric realm, Barbas with him. "Well then... Barbas?" Clavicus asked turning to his companion. "Let me guess. You want me to 'sniff' out a suitable wish for someone who wants power, or something like that." Barbas replied, sighing to himself. "I'll get right on it." Barbas then disappeared, searching for the appropriate woman to raise his master's child. Clavicus walked into his room and started, surprised at the sight of Sheogorath lying on his bed. "When you find that which you seek, what kind of deal will you bless her with? Only the partridge knows. Hehehe...." Sheogorath giggled, sitting up. "And yes, I know what happened, but don't worry, no one bothers with the ravings of the Prince of Madness. Ahahahaha!" He said, jumping off of Clavicus' bed, his cane in hand. Clavicus had always been envious of Sheogorath. Whereas Clavicus' tricks brought bits of fun that lasted days, weeks, or even months if he was lucky, Sheogorath always had his fun lasting for years. "I know where your mongrel can search for the perfect bearance of yours and the Twilight's child, but I don't know where it is, only when it is." Sheogorath said, his words barely making sense to Clavicus. "Sheogorath, you're rambling again. You said that you know where, but then you didn't know where and only when?" Vile asked, crossing his arms and glaring at the Mad Prince. "Did I now? I don't remember saying that at all. I do know the name, but not her given name. I don't remember a when or a where though, because I don't know such things." Sheogorath chuckled to himself again before bursting out in full on laughter. "Ok, old man. Listen to me. I'll cut you a deal. You tell me the person, and I'll tell you the whereabouts of three people who wish for excellent musical talent, pure sanity, and happiness. Surely you can help them find these things, seeing as you do what you do." "Oh, sorry lad, but it'll require more than- did you say three? I'll take two and it's a deal." Sheogorath said. Chapter 2: The Deal Salindrel sighed, staring at her husband's sleeping body. She had been a Breton soldier in the Imperial Legion, and had gained fortune afterward by adventuring before settling down, but she had, so far, been unable to become pregnant. Which is why she had been mulling over the deal that Clavicus Vile had offered her two weeks beforehand. Barbas, who had followed her after her encounter with the Daedric Prince to watch her, was lying at the foot of the bed. "Barbas." Salindrel finally said to the dog, sitting up. "Mmmrph. I'm trying to sleep, woman...." The dog answered back, opening one eye. "It was hard enough when you two we-" "I accept the offer." She cut Barbas off, turning her eyes up to the ceiling. "Well then, normally, I'd be on my way right now, but I'm sleepy, so you'll have to wait for me to go on my walk in the morning to tell him that." Barbas replied, closing his open eye. When Salindrel woke up the next morning, Barbas was sitting next to her side of the bed, staring at her. "Get some clothes on and come on. You need to meet them." Barbas said, turning around to leave the room. Salindrel looked to the other side of the bed, and, seeing that Maximus was still asleep, got up and put on her best clothes, not wanting to embarrass herself in front of two Daedric Princes. She quickly ran after Barbas who was already a little ways down the road, toward where she first met Vile and the dog. As she approached the clearing, Salindrel paused, stunned by the beauty before her. "M-m-my Lady Azura, I apologize. I didn't think that it would be you-" Salindrel stammered, immediately bowing down in respect for the Queen of Twilight, the Mother of Roses. "No need to apologize, child. Come, you know of the deal?" Azura beckoned, smiling softly at Salindrel. "Yes, my Lady." She responded, standing up. "I... I gain your child for the loss of my husband." She responded, balling her hands into fists. "Don't worry, child. His soul will be safe in Moonshadow. My realm. And your child will be watched over by Barbas. That way, we can ensure his and your safety." Azura said. "Now come here. Accept my gift of life." Salindrel hesitated, and then fell into Azura's open arms, quickly falling asleep at her warm embrace. "Sleep well. You'll need the strength in the coming months...." Were the last words that Salindrel heard before falling asleep. (Will continue later.)

Not to mention Priority Nasty Plot and Thunder Wave and a 180 power +2 special attack Thunder. Thundurus is devastating. Zoroark has base 105 speed, 120 special attack, and 105 attack, meaning that it's fast, and very powerful. It gets Sucker Punch, Night Daze, Dark Pulse, Foul Play, etc for excellent STAB moves. And with access to both Swords Dance and Nasty Plot, along with great coverage moves such as Flamethrower, U-Turn, Shadow Ball, Punishment being great against those who set up, Low Sweep, and even Focus Blast, allowing for perfect type coverage with its Dark STABs and Shadow Ball. Specs it with a timid nature, and it begins an all out powerhouse special death sweep. Expert Belt works just as well, and so does Wise Glasses. Add on a Nasty Plot boost to the Expert Belt or Wise Glasses, and it becomes a monster, sweeping through everything that it hits.

Well, consider this. I was the only one who posted any argument at all. Everyone else was like "kwhatev" without giving any of these some thought. They were ok with Azumarril going down in rank when it can quite easily hold it's own in battle in UU and OU. It would destroy the lower tiers. Especially with the perfect type coverage of Ice Fighting in the form of Ice Punch and Superpower. Add something like 25 Rupees for assisting with the tier discussions would be incentive for people to post arguments for and against certain tier movements. And Amethyst, could you uh... Please post my tier arguments?
