The Fush

Oh, and i am addicted to ice types... and i forget to mention stuff... like I did just now... and how many puns is that exactly, Phoenix?

So I'm aquainted with most of you lot anyway, but anyway, because I'm bored: My name's Rufus, and I got into the competitive side on Pokemon lately (though i only ever EVed, natured and IVed a Starmie in the actual games...). You may have seen me on the forums either as Roo, Bad Pun Master Roo or Roo The Baka. I'm very wacky... I like pokemon... I've been here for about 2-3 weeks... that's about it. why not I like it here.

If your rival picks Tepig, he turns into a vegetarian! Congratulations, Cheren!

And it's a shame how Archeops has been moved down... I adore that thing to death. Game Freak, Wai You Give Archeops Bad Ability?

Neo Said: Underrated- Maractus It does a decent job at the roles I give it. When people see me use it they laugh. But I like that cactus, especially in the sun or with spikes. Though I say it took down an infernape, I was just lucky there. That was so hilarious... And I don't know how to reply to what people say... anyway, one more: Underrated: Glaceon: Though outclassable, it (like flareon) has great special attack, and with a scarf and blizzard in hail, it's strong in the lower tiers. Also, it can take at a special move most of the time due to high special defense.

This is pretty much the same as what people here have said, but: Underrated: Flareon (In UU And NU): Despite Fire Fang being the only STAB physical move it has, it has a good coverage movepool and can hit hard in the lower tiers. Hated: Chandelure: This thing is the bane of my existence. Whenever it switches in, you can count on shadow tag to keep you in while it justs overheats your pokemon (or maybe even more than one) to death. Terrakion: I've seen this thing just thrown out with a choice scarf and dominate whole parties on multiple occasions(though ghost types can easily solve that...). I just wish it would burn. Serperior: The amount of times i've seen a contraperior own everything on a party with leaf storm is ridiculous. It can even take a few hits and just rampage. It's speed doesn't make it easier for you either. Chansey: While not the worst offender, it can drive people nuts how it can soften most hits, paralyze/poison you and heal itself.

It's more of a chandelure problem, really... It pretty much OHKOs nearly all of it.

After first reading this, I decided to give steel a go. It was successful, but I don't know how good it really is: Steelix (Nickname: Bulk Much?) Type: Steel/Ground Ability: Sturdy Item: Leftovers Moveset: Stealth Rock, Dragon Tail, Earthquake, Gyro Ball Nature: Relaxed (+Def, -Speed) EVs: +252 HP, +96 Defense, +206 Special Defense Aggron (Nickname: Hates Puns) Type: Steel/Rock Ability: Rock Head Item: Leftovers Moveset: Head Smash, Earthquake, Stealth Rock (Just Cause), Thunder Wave Nature: Careful (+SpD, - SpA) EVs: +252 HP, +4 Defense, +252 Speed Scizor (Nickname: Buggy Bug) Type: Steel/Bug Ability: Technician Item: Life Orb Moveset: Swords Dance, Roost, Bug Bite, Bullet Punch Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -SpA) EVs: +188 HP, +252 Attack, +68 Speed Durant (Nickname: ThreatANTing) Type: Steel/Bug Ability: Hustle Item: Red Card Moveset: Hone Claws, Iron Defense, Baton Pass, X-Scissor Nature: Jolly (+Speed, -SpA) EVs: +24 Attack, +160 Defense, +72 Sp. Defense, +252 Speed Empoleon (Nickname: Death) Type: Water/Steel Ability: Torrent (Might Change) Item: Life Orb Moveset: Agility, Hydro Pump, Grass Knot, Ice Beam Nature: Modest (+SpA, -Atk) EVs: +40 HP, +252 Special Attack, +192 Speed Metagross (Nickname: Heimerdinger) Type: Steel/Psychic Ability: Clear Body Item: Expert Belt Moveset: Psychic, Meteor Mash, HP Fire, Ice Punch Nature: Naughty (+Atk, -SpD) EVs: +168 Attack, +232 Special Attack, +108 Speed The Team Didn't Really Have A Specific Purpose, Just Different Types Of Attackers With Durant As A Baton Passer And Steelix As A Lead Tank. I ignored countering entry hazards because they only pose so little of a threat. Although Chandelure Completely Cuts (Well, Burns) My Team Into Bits (Or Ash, For That Matter).

I agree with practically every one of these. Though I can't deny i've pulled a smiley face when landing a crit before >_> Oh, hypocrisy...

All of a sudden, pre-evolved pokemon look a little more threatening...

Wide Wall: Makes protect protect an extra pokemon in double or triple battles (but only one).
