Considering the proposal to make legal illegal move combinations, I really don't see a problem with this anymore. No, you're not playing Pokemon, but I will agree upon this if that proposal sets precedent. Otherwise, no, there's no point. Don't change it. Deal with Garchomp as its full self...

Based on the current stance on the topic you posted, there shouldn't be an issue with Wobbuffet, then. Should you guys decide to allow illegal combinations of moves, then it because Wobbuffet was released with Tickle, then it should be able to use the move with whatever IV/Nature setup the user...

Personally, I think that it's better to spread 'haxish' moves across the team rather than put them all on one Pokemon. Having a Waterfall here, a Dark Pulse there, an Air Slash over there, and various Thunder Waves and Body Slams placed around would probably work a lot better than just one...

One would think so, but a lot of people seem to always use it. A lot of the logs posted that include Wobbuffet have it leading.

Have you tried using the Tickle Wobbuffet then switching in a Scarf'd Garchomp with Outrage? EDIT: Heracross does max 85% without Guts and without a boost.

There's a problem with this method, though. In Street Fighter, you take one character and fight a person who is using one character. The person's skill with that character and the capabilities of that character dictate the winner. In Pokemon, it's different, because battles aren't dictated by...

How would a lead Darkrai interact with a lead Wobbuffet? I'd like to imagine that it would put Wobbuffet at an intense disadvantage, should the Darkrai carry both Dark Pulse and Pursuit. Of course, with those two moves, Darkrai is now very limited in what it can do, especially if it chooses to...

So... in otherwords, it'd only add one more Pokemon since Heracross is already common-place? This is, of course, ignoring that there are other Pokemon that can counter Darkrai.

What are you talking about? The only 'general' builds that exist are 252/252 builds or builds meant to maximize defenses on both sides. Everything else has specific purposes. For example, the Vaporeon on the analysis has 68 Special Attack. The purpose is specifically for bulkier versions of...

Okay, so if it's overcentralising to replace EVs, are you recommending that everyone just use 85 spreads and neutral natures? Obviously, you don't, but I don't understand why you would say such a thing when the purpose of EVs is precisely that; the change your stats to counter or defeat certain...

I'm so depressed.

Wait, I don't get this comment, and it keeps popping up. Why is it overcentralising to adjust a set or replace EVs for one Pokemon but not for another? Why is it overcentralizing to give Blissey speed EVs, but it's not to give her special defense EVs? Why is giving Skarmory 64 EVs in speed a...

And my point was that there are Pokemon that can be adapted to suit whatever the situation is. Likewise, depending on the situation for the attacker, certain Pokemon won't work. Anyways, if Darkrai is being forced to switch, then you can pick at with through residual damage, and if Darkrai is...

If your opponent has managed to set that much up against you already, then I think you have already lost that battle. Darkrai isn't the one setting up the Toxic Spikes, Spikes, Stealth Rock and Sandstream, not to mention that Toxic Spikes plays AGAINST Darkrai by rendering his Dark Void useless...

For the Darkrai that don't carry Psychic (I assume Dark Void, Dark Pulse, Substitute, Calm Mind) what's stopping someone from carrying a more defensive minded Heracross? A Heracross with Megahorn, Close Combat, Stone Edge and Sleep Talk, or perhaps a previously status'd Heracross like the one...

You shouldn't call a Pokemon worthless if it is viable. A Pokemon like Mantine is great insurance against a Manaphy or Suicune that has gained some stat boosts for some reason.

Pardon, but what the heck is a Revenankh? As for the warstory, it was a bit hard on my eyes.

What's Mew got over Gengar? I'd say superior defenses but weaker resistances go along with the pure-psychic typing. I think that if you were to ignore Baton Pass and compare Mew to other Pokemon, you'd find that there are generally better alternatives. Movepool-wise, Azelf has nothing on Mew...

I understand the point of the rules. It may be difficult on the players, but they want the matches to go by quickly. Unlike tournaments played online where it may take days or weeks and everyone has all the time in the world, they have just one or two hours to get everything done. If they can...

This reminds me of another topic where people would make a claim but would not expand on it. How would the inclusion of NFE'd Pokemon make it play like OU when a good deal of the elements in OU are missing. There's no Zapdos or Crescelia or Heatran in UU. There's no Skarmory or Heracross...
