Re: Arrowsmash City Pokémon League

Oh my god I know. Excadrill get fukt. And Bullet Seed gets a boost as well which is really nice. Fast Spore, SD, then the tech boosts are fantastic.

I've been using essentially everyone discussed in the suspect testing thread on smogon, and winning without even trying. xD
Dual Screen Deo-S, CM Latias, Excadrill, Garchomp, Reuniclus, Ttar (cause i need dat sand)

Re: Arrowsmash City Pokémon League

Asked before but asking again.
Anyone have a Glaeow/Purugly they want to trade? It's the only thing I'm missing..

Re: Arrowsmash City Pokémon League

Remedy: Might want to think about switching your Skarm to Sturdy. It's been buffed this gen to the point that it not only negates OHKO attacks, but also functions like a Focus Sash. I like the way you think, though: Just because actively boosting evasion is banned doesn't mean accuracy-dropping moves aren't.

(Also ran sample calculations some months back: LO Tech Mach Punch off max attack Adamant Loom OHKOs 252/252 Impish Ttar--not that anyone would run that, just trying to make a point--about 59% of the time.)

Edit: T-Force, I think those cats are Diamond-exclusive, but I'll check my Pt anyway...nope, "Area Unknown" for both of them.

Re: Arrowsmash City Pokémon League

Double post for bump and discovery.

As long as I was checking to see if my Pt had info on Glameow, I thought I'd leave it in and see what I had left behind for HG and then Black. Turns out I have the shiny Suicune required for the Zoroark event on both my Pt and HG! (For you more competitive-minded folk, it's Relaxed with a 31 Def IV.)

Of course, I'll be keeping one for myself, and I have all the non-shiny dogs caught the regular way in HG (Raikou was a lucky break, but Entei was a BITCH), but if anyone missed the event in the weeks before BW came out and wants my other one, check the first page for my info for those games. Their hold items, however, are mine.

Re: Arrowsmash City Pokémon League

Yeah.. Glameow is, unfortunately, Pearl only. I've seen Purugly in Black, and checked the GTS, but people on there are freaking idiots who want "*insert legendary* at level *insert either 9 and under, or 100*.

It's surprisingly hard to find a decent deal on there.

I usually deposit Pokemons instead of searching, cause everybody is asking for lol Zekrom/Reshiram lvl 9 or under. Btw I use fem eevee and zorua, and I usually get a trade in a day or 2.

Re: Arrowsmash City Pokémon League

But that requires more hatching of things, and my whoreblob has been nonstop busy since arriving in Unova.
Oh well, when in doubt.

I think he likes being a whore. Mine is like lvl 85~

Re: Arrowsmash City Pokémon League

Mine's 86 or 87. Caught it at 22 in Platinum, and has gained nothing but walking EXP in the Day-Care.

Re: Arrowsmash City Pokémon League

Bump cause haters gonna hate.

646 seen, 646 caught. No legit shinies still.
Awwwwwwww yeah. B)

Re: Arrowsmash City Pokémon League

No Keldeo/Meloetta event yet, I take it. What's the other one you're missing?

[T-Force]

Re: Arrowsmash City Pokémon League

Keldeo, Meloetta and Genesect. The last 3 event Pokémon for Unova.

Re: Arrowsmash City Pokémon League

This is the party I'm using right now in Pokemon online, it has like a 75% win ratio. (I have this exact same party in Black, except for Froslass cursed body trait)

This party is obviously not on smogon competitive level, but I like it a lot. It features my favorite pokemons and I think it has a good coverage (well at least I have never had a big problem with it)

Since not many people see froslass as a very competitive pokemon I use this to my advantage, cause a lot of people don't know what she is capable of.


(Froslass) (F) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Cursed Body
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Spikes
- Ice Beam
- Taunt
- Destiny Bond

Taunt, is a most for those pkmn that like to do entry hazards(especially fortress without any attacks). Spikes, I kinda have mixed feeling about them, they are good but they take to much time to set more layers to make them a little more useful, and I hate to just throw spikes to use destiny bond in the next turn. Ice Beam, well I need something to attack with lol. Destiny Bond, probably my favorite attack in Pokemon xD, at first I only use this to take lead pkmn with me, but when I started to switch out a little more and found out that I could use this to take powerfull pokemons with me. (A lot of people have rage quit, after they see their sweeper with full health and +6 atk being taken down by a froslass with 1HP.)


Zoroaaku (Zoroark) (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Illusion
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Night Daze
- Flamethrower
- Focus Blast
- Nasty Plot

I just love Zoroark, he is nothing special but the illusion is such a awesome/fun trait (I have been called a haxor/cheater cause omg my vaporeon is using flamethrower !!!!) He is pretty much my special sweeper, and if combined with froslass, he is pretty much garanted that he is going to survive a few more turns than usual.

Haxorus (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Mold Breaker
EVs: 252 Atk / 255 Spd
Hardy Nature
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Brick Break
- Dual Chop

physical sweeper, Choice Band + 252 atk ev + 145 base atk + STAB Outrage = 1HKO or 2HKO almost everything. He is also my substituted breaker(dual chop). And his Mold Breaker ability is pretty awesome.

Zapdos @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Heat Wave
- Roost
- U-turn

**** Thundurus! Zapdos is the way to go. This bird has been in my party since Pokemon Red, and thats not gonna change, just because an overpowered genie in a cloud can do the same things and maybe more. (besides he should be uber anyways). I choose to use the more offensive zapdos cause 1) stalling is boring 2) not many people know about Heat wave :P 3) he can take hits anyway.

Lucario (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Inner Focus
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Close Combat
- ExtremeSpeed
- Stone Edge

the only reason I have him in my team is because he is probably the most cool looking pokemon there is and ExtremeSpeed. Stone Edge its also really good, cause apparently not many people think that a Lucario will be using Stone Edge.

Vaporeon (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Water Absorb
EVs: 248 HP / 224 Def / 36 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Wish
- Protect
- Toxic
- Ice Beam

Welp yeah I needed somebody that could take hits. Wish + protect works awesome for stalling, and if you add toxic even better. Ice beam it just a good Ice atk. I wasn't sure if I should should change toxic for scald to have a STAB atk, but I will lose my 100% of getting my opponent with a damaging status.

Re: Arrowsmash City Pokémon League

Haxorus does hit like a truck, yes, but he has literally no answer to Skarmory and sits at an awkward Speed tier just below the omnipresent base 100+ of standard play, yet he is clearly capable of far more destruction than even the mighty Heracross during its time in UU. Definite BL material. (I know this is your in-game team, but for the sims, please, PLEASE make him Adamant.)

Due to the revamped mechanics of Wish, there's no excuse for a Wish-support Vaporeon to not run max HP. I find it interesting how all of its EVs have gone into defense...besides, max HP gives a "magic" Leftovers number (464 = 16*29).

Zoroark needs the coverage and power Focus Blast offers, but he simply cannot afford to miss due to his low defenses and will still lose every time to bulky Fighting types, particularly Mach Punch Conkeldurr. At least Lucario has the impressive list of resistances that come with being a Steel-type should he whiff with a Stone Edge. Choice Specs is another option for the Illusion Fox if you're confident in your prediction skills, but in that case Night Daze will have to be replaced with the stronger Dark Pulse, and Zoroark is fast enough to abuse the flinch hax as well.

I don't know what to make of that Zapdos, man. It's like you mixed a special sweeper spread with a cherry-tap U-turn just for the free switch out (it's actually better than Volt Switch because Bug has no immunities, so the switch effect will always happen except on a miss), then threw in Roost for lulz. Relies too much on its defensive typing to sponge hits, probably a frequent Wish recipient as a result.

And finally, Froslass. Ah, the Snow Maiden who is unique in her ability to set up Spikes and spinblock at the same time. Can't take or dish out the pain, but holy crap is she annoying in her ability to pick off the other guy's MVP. Trollish speed lets her tie with other positive base 110s as well as outrun literally every unboosted Steel-type. I like this build a lot.

OMFG I just notice he is using Hardy...... thats the default setting in pkmn online, apparently I forgot to change it gahhhh ;_; Thanks. the one in game has Adamant.

I don't like the limits I get by using a choice item in Zoroark. I have thought about it but I don't think it would be that effective on my team.

Yeah, that zapdos has pretty much one of the most random movesets ever >.< I just din't knew what other attacks I should pick for him, besides heatwave and thunder bolt, and U-turn and roost looked like the best choices. I was thinking about roar but, but wasn't really sure.
