Bulbapedia has a much more complete description: Light That Burns the Sky compares the user's Attack and Special Attack stats, dealing damage to the target using the higher stat. If the user's Attack is greater than its Special Attack, the move will be a physical move; if its Special Attack is...

First off, it's 3-6 on the ladder, but that's a lie. Two of those wins were by forfeit after I got a surprise KO, I've yet to break 1100. I actually played the team after building and before posting here, which is apparently what you're supposed to do with these things. Usually I built and then...

I honestly don't see how in Shield, Melony gets away with being the third strongest among all the types when she has freaking Ice. Basically, this project is seeing how the gyms would realistically shake out instead of just choosing the 8 that would make for an interesting boss rush. And yes...

they said my ladder ranking wasn't high enough can you recommend a good safety

By adding this forum, minor but significant oversights can be reported by users without SCMS access. Having more eyes able to see and report things like this will lead to better overall quality for the material that goes onto the site. Yes, we have QC and GP checkers for articles, but even...

There's probably more to this interview than the article suggests, but for those who might be interested in what some of the head Honchkrows have to say, here it is: http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/news_gamefreak_interview-2012-10-01/ Likely to be of particular note to you guys is...

We all love the music, and sometimes the games are pretty cool too. There's also some bitchin' TMs up for grabs if you have the luck, or more often the dough. Slot machines are frustrating as hell. Main reason to get Blue over Red: Porygon is only 6500 coins, as opposed to needing a full...

Okay. I'm pretty positive it's not my team that's holding me back by this point, but team fixes are a lot easier than fixing me. Since I'm not really sure what my overall strategy is or should be (sad but true), I figure a replay with the team I'm putting under the knife will have to do...

I didn't see a thread about this, but god damn if this isn't more addicting than the contests (musicals don't even fucking count as a side game, let's face it) ever were. You actually have to get good at the games to unlock each room in turn, which is the main component of said ability to...

I seriously don't understand it. I made a team specifically for the tutee tourney with the feedback of IFM, and I still get 3-0ed twice with two different teams by ITSU. (To whoever thought it'd be funny to put me up against him just because we had the same tutor, I'm not laughing.) Anyway...

Many forums have a space reserved for newcomers to the forum to ask questions and generally learn what makes the community tick. While it's true that each sub-forum has a "Simple Question, Simple Answer" sticky to serve this function, this approach is counter-intuitive and has the effect of...

Long story short, if someone uses Team Preview to change their lead mon in a fight, the sprite of the first Pokemon sent out is still the mon in "Pokemon 1". Screenshot as proof: As you can see in this shot, Heatran is the active Pokemon in the log, yet the max HP is that of Deoxys-D. (The...

It's all downhill from here. :pimp:

Disgusted with my utter lack of any sort of talent on the OU ladder, I thought I'd try UU on for size. With the recent banning of Hippowdon from the tier, I'm thinking a team like this is going to have a much better chance of shining. Without further ado... THE MANLY MEN OF UNDERUSED Victini...

So I was up last night training my Haxorus to Outrage level, and I realized that two of the daily trainers, Morimoto and Cheren, lead with a Fake Out Liepard. Much to my chagrin, it turns out that Fake Out maintains its superior priority in the face of Sucker Punch and Quick Attack, therefore I...

Inspired by numerous examples of similar chess training programs that give you an actual game position and ask the player to pick the best move in the situation, I put forth the idea of the tactics trainer for Pokemon. Let's face it, not all of us have the ability to get a mentor, and some of...

I don't know what it is with me. Every time I've managed to sign up for tutoring, I never get a goddamn tutor, and as a result I need a crash course in team synergy and threat analysis. As proof, here's my latest model. What I was going for was sort of a bog standard sand offense team, but...

Pretty much exactly what it says on the tin. I've tried a lot of different teams, but I keep getting bumped down to the bottom 2K on the BW OU ladder after the novelty wears off. This team, however, is particularly terribad. What I'm looking for is a decent weather-offense team that plays...

I've tried, I really have, but I apparently have no idea how to make a cohesive team. I've just thrown together random bits and pieces, seeing what works, oops I made a mistake, shit wrong lead, why did I forget he had LO, etc. etc. I need team advice, yes, but I also need strategies (I am up...

I'm not looking for praise here, much less to get featured in The Smog. I just need to know what's a good team for someone that apparently has no fucking clue how to predict what his opponent is going to do. Here's what I'm running with right now, but ladder testing has given largely...
