    Well, Deo-S runs Ice Beam occasionally so it's hard to use Gliscor to kill it. The way I take care of them is lead with Scizor, then U-Turn to my Tyranitar. Though there are lots of ways to take care of it, just use hard hitters is the best way.

    Hm... How would a Toxic Stall Gliscor counter D-S? I understand that Gliscor has Poison Heal this generation so a Toxic + Protect set should be able to get D-S down to at least the point where a Scizor can come in a revenge kill it, no? As you can see, I'm still only using old Pokemon because of my lack of knowledge of new ones haha

    Actually, yeah, lead Dnite is very effective right now, though you do have to watch out for Deo-S with Ice Beam, as it can outspeed at +1 and KO. But otherwise it's pretty flawless. xD

    LMAO. Dragonite is my absolute favorite Pokemon and I always make sure that it warrants a look before creating a team. Looks like it's finally getting some respect with Multiscale?

    I was actually thinking of leading with a Dragonite, something along the lines of :
    Jolly @LumBerry
    4HP/252Atk/252Spe
    Dragon Dance, Earthquake, Outrage, Fire Punch

    and basically just DD on the first turn (and maybe 2nd if they set up hazards), tank a hit, and proceed to sweep. I'm thinking Jolly over Adamant to out speed other Dragonite?

    Well, true, I battle on the PO server myself, so it's still legal there. But yeah, in that case, even less of a bother. xD

    The main problem now is Dragonite imo, it's extremely potent, and it can do just about anything, so you never know what to expect with it. Skarmory in the rain takes care of it very nicely, though.

    Well, I guess the tutoring just started haha. But that does make it much less of a headache. and I thought Excadrill was Uber (per Smogon)?

    Luckily Balloon is only really on 3 Pokemon, Heatran, Excadrill, and Magnezone, which can all be beaten by any STAB Fighting move. So it's definitely less of an annoyance that it was earlier in the metagame.

    It looks like it'll be the only clan on the site? Are there really no clans at all? haha

    I think what'll bother me most are new items such as air balloon. When Gen V came out, those things pissed me off.. and I guess learning new threats, too :P

    Unfortunately the thread won't be posted until tomorrow, but awesome, glad to have you joining. :D

    And yeah, I'll try as hard as I can to get you back into the metagame, should be pretty easy though, since you already know your typing and all that good stuff.

    It's one my top 10 lists of favorite movies which isn't actually a list but rather just a way I rate movies haha. I do wish it had a little more zombies+survival in it. Though I'm not sure how it would fit, so it's probably better off the way it is.

    There's gotta be some connection, right? Otherwise I wouldn't keep returning. But the thing is, I don't know how dedicated I'd be to learning the game since I'm proportioning my focus towards school right now. Pokemon is more or less just a hobby, for lack of a better term, now as opposed to when I seriously wanted to win and managed clans and all that. You'll have to coach me a bit ;)

    and Do you have telepathy or something? I was actually just thinking about joining a clan since I felt like it would help me get back into things. You can bet I'll join :)

    Yeah, Zombieland is a sweet movie. Probably my favorite zombie movie just because of the comedy in it.

    Well, it's definitely tough balancing Pokemon with life, I guess it's just something you really have to want, though if you've come back to it after all this time, you must like it plenty. xD The metagame now isn't too hard to get into, just takes about a week or so on Pokemon Online. I'm currently working up a clan thread, though, you should join once it gets posted. :P

    Haha you're fine. I can tough it out! Ever seen Zombieland? I wonder what I'd do if I saw a zombie clown..

    Blah, I always end up having this problem. I leave for awhile, I come back, and I have to learn a whole new metagame haha. That's mainly way I'm saying "to hell with tiers! I'll use whoever I want and do whatever I want with them!"

    I wish I had something like that to turn to. Every time I leave, it's usually me losing interest or sports come up and interfere with it. Last time I played, I believe it was January, last year. I left because it was senior year so the Senior Class was really busy with organizing Prom, etc. and Then summer came around and since everyone I've known forever was going off to different colleges, I spent every waking moment outside with them. Then school started. I've finally gotten the hang of things and decided to pick up my DS once more even though I'm sure I'll only last to about December before leaving again.

    Sorry. xD It's for Halloween mostly, even though it's a day late. xD

    Glad you're getting back into the game, it's (imo) a lot more fun than last generation.

    And I dunno, I just love Pokemon, and when I feel like not playing anymore, I just go and work on my ROM hack instead of battling, and by the time I get some work in on it, I just can wait to get back to battling. xD

    1. I hate/I'm deathly afraid of clowns so that avatar&signature set is creeping me out haha
    2. I've been, well, I kinda just left Pokemon completely for a long, long time to pursue other things. Not like I haven't done that before though haha. and Now, as usual, I'm trying to get back into battling, but I don't really care for all those tiers and whatever anymore. Just trying to create teams with Pokemon I like and battle with them, cause well, I like them and I like battling haha.
    3. What's been up with yourself? I'm honestly surprised you've stayed with Pokemon for so long and not left once. Then again, this is coming from a guy with commitment problems to Pokemon who keeps leaving for months on end haha
