Aghh.. I would never blame people using full walls team.. It's their choice, their style; from my own exp balanced strong against stall; stall checks offensive and offensive breakthrough balanced.. Actually, I feel more comfortable when versus stalls rather than hyper offensive. Haha And the idea of limiting "defensive pokemons" in each team is just insane.. Which class do you place Arcanine, Tyranitar, Scizor, Gyarados, Garchomp, Venusaur, Roserade.. in? Those pokemon can be good at both defensive as well as offensive role.

Just got this bad boy from exca site, tired of training a bunch of pokes, so I decide to let it go: B.o end in 24 hours from this post at 2.30PM Jul 14 th - GMT+7 or Jul 14, 2016 7:31 am by this forum timer.

Don't know why server RED (and BLUE as my friends reported) is getting crowded current days. Some said it's a effect of Pokemon:GO; some wonder if we're under another attack?

@fatman: as I said "you may never win an internet argument." Better give up, my friend; cuz this fight will lead to nowhere.

DELETED

ofc if Power-up punch TMs is available in PRO, mega-khan should be banned in 1v1 battles.. Or you will argue me that mega-khan is not overpowered at all? PRO rules and smogon rules is different, agree. But if a Smogon Uber got all its tools (moves and abi working) in here, it will definitely need to be banned. (see none bother bat an eyes about Gothitelle h.a when calm mind and rest were NOT available, but now when the pkm get all the tools it needs, it created a lot of discussion in this forum) Why? Because in smogon even with all options of checks and counters available they still find that pkm is OP and abused in competitive games, so why with narrower options, worse pokemons, we have to allow those Ubers to rampage the ladder?

Idk why people hate stall team; from my point of view, stall is much harder to be good at compare to offensive, (despite I haven't used stall since the end of season1). For people who think w. orbs and choice items u can finally eliminate stalls from the ladder: You will find urself die faster w. that orb's recoil or stuck and forced switch out more often with those choice items. :devil: But I agree, we need more items for diversify our choices when building team :D

I don't want another internet argument - which I will never win. :Crazy: Just want to express my thought: I'm with that fatman and mather88: Gothitelle need to be banned from ranked play. It's not because I don't have one, actually I do (show off sometimes in battle channel XD). Never use it in ladder, because I don't want to join the cancer :Crazy:

I really hate that no-brain strategy of h.a gothitelle and disrespect players who abused it in ladder (some of them were actually good players,sadly..)

This comparison is like comparing smart phone with laptop or a truck vs a car. :Crazy: They have totally different functions dude, one is physical tank, spinner; the other is wall breaker. It all depend on what your team need.

As I stated, there're should be a message announce about NC activated so we know the pkms is cured (in showdown, there is). However, right now, in PRO there're none, and the pkm actually cure when it switch-in again (which is different from original games) Also, most of pkms I listed would choose NC over their other abilities, and the competitive players always go for the best. Therefore, it's pretty safe to assume that every Blissey, Starmie.. u meet in ranked has NC (ofc, not 100%). My idea is just for avoiding negative plays (in other word, abusing the fault of the system and unclear rules to take unfair advantages) I agree we need clauses for ranked (In fact, as I remember, I have never broken any clauses since the first day I played ranked), but we need to be clear at some points.

One thing should be noticed about sleep clause: Since Natural Cure in PRO currently activate when the pokemon switch-in again (not when it was switch-out), and there're no announcement msg when the ability activate. So when I put a pokemon with potential to carry NC (say Blissey, Starmie.. and obviously they will, since this is competitive ranked) I should have the right to put another one to sleep when the NC pkm switch-out. (because they're now consider to be cured). This to prevent some people to do negative plays like: switch-in some NC pkms to eat a spore, powder then switch-out and keep it until the end to disable us to use those sleep moves again. :Ambivalent:

This man speaks sense. https://www.smogon.com/dex/xy/pokemon/gothitelle/uber/ Read. Thanks. It's not like we face Gothitelle h.a everyday, in fact, I have never run into any for 4 ranked seasons, so I don't care much about it haha. Anyway, w. Rest now available, h.a Gothitelle and its unhealthy strategy need to be forbid. (Irafayel, don't you cry? :Crazy: )

RMT stand for Real Money Trade - if u trading (include selling or buying) using resources outside of the game for sth ingame. Usually, there must be someone reported u w/ some evidence. If u're sure u're not violate this rule then appeal, otherwise don't waste time. They won't forgive for this kind of sin :Sleeping:

Re: My Shiny Collection. <r>SOMESone might have seen this post and cry in SOMES corner.<br/> Thinking of that gives me pleasant feeling <E>:Crazy:</E></r>

Personally, I really hate it when people keep abusing prankster confusion. If u love gamble that much.. go play Russian roullete. Swagger is banned for that reason too much luck element a.k.a hax in 1 move, it's like forcing your opponent playing RR w. you. No I prefer to lose to skillful players rather than luckier player.

None interested huh? :Cry:

The "hurting the economy of enemies" is a joking part.. well, so sad that u take it seriously :Cry: As I said everyone now at least have 1-2 sashes if sash isnt consumed in pvp battle, none bother to buy more since unlike lefty we only need 1 sash or 2 at most in 1 team. Idk about ur meta or what format u're in, to me rocky helmet is a thing in current meta especially w. the ridiculous Tough claws ability and a lot of hard hitting pkms that use contact moves so Helmet is there to punish them (30% health per touching when used w. barbs, skin).. Most Garchomp/Ferrothrone even Skarmory I ran into in OU showdown use helmet. Assault Vest (ofc is not used often as helmet) is usually use in Conkeldurr, Tangrowth, Tyranitar (especially conkeldurr, all of them switch from bulk up set to AV when it come to gen6).. This is an out date item usage statistics you may want to take a look (Can't find anything newer, but this still account upto gen6 I believe). https://sweepercalc.com/stats/ Focus sashes well, can be used mostly in suicide lead or magic guard alakazam since people always set up rock asap. In my opinion, the pkm u listed bar aerodactyl don't really need sash to function in PRO meta since the pokemon can 1hit them w.o choice items, orb is not so many.. and the ideas of having 3 sashed pkm in 1 team leave me speechless as well. Well, this is just my observation that I want to share w. you, don't take it offensively.
