I wish I could get on too. I miss you guys.
I'm also most excited to see if Shanderaa lives up to its hype since it's now my favorite Pokemon ever.
Still Gengar weak. ;DRiolu got Nasty Plot by the way so now we'll have NP Vacuum Wave from Lucario.

Smogon said:Choice Band Adamant Crunch Tyranitar VS
Chansey = 41.05% --> 48.58%
Blissey = 55.88% --> 65.97%
First huge difference. Chansey with this EVs spread may be 2OHKOed only 6% of time with SR up. While Blissey doesn't stand a chance. However it doesn't end here.
Choice Band Adamant U-Turn Scizor VS
Chansey = 35.37% --> 41.76%
Blissey = 47.90% --> 56.44%
Another perfect example. Not that Chansey should stay in (SuperPower will hurt), however in some situations this may be quite crucial. Surprisingly, Chansey takes U-Turn as well as... Max HP/Max Def Swampert. Anyway, another proof on how it helps our poor Chansey.
But here we go. What king of difference it makes when taking special hits. And here it looks also interesting. It's best to show it on example.
Choice Specs Flash Fire Boosted Fire Blast Timid Heatran VS
Chansey = 40.06% --> 47.30%
Blissey = 47.48% --> 56.02%
Smogon said:+2 Flame Orb 252 Atk Jolly Facade Heracross VS
Gliscor = 77.68% --> 91.53%
Gligar = 61.98% --> 73.05%
In other words, +2 Flame Orb Facade can't OHKO Gligar, while there's 28% for OHKO when Max HP/Max Def Impish Gliscor try to do the same.
But someone may say - Heracross in this fast paced metagame ? Nope, I don't think it's the only niche where Gligar may try his luck in walling certain Pokemon. Let's go with Randorosu. 101 base speed, 125 base Atk and access to Swords Dance may make it one of the most dangerous sweepers in Gen 5. Well, this is also where difference in damage helps our litle Gligar.
+2 Life Orb 252 Atk Jolly Stone Edge Randorosu VS
Gliscor = 48.02% --> 56.78%
Gligar = 38.62% --> 45.51%
Just to make it short. Gliscor is 2OHKOed by Randorosu, while Gligar can't be 2OHKOed back. In other words Gligar may be able to run Toxic, Roost any damage back and let the Toxic + Life Orb recoils do the job. While Gliscor can't afford to try his luck with Toxic and must use Ice Fang, which may not knock out Rankurusu back.
However may Gligar use this additional bulk on special side ? Well, he surely can. And I think Gligar has higher advantage here even more.
0 SpA EVs Milotic Neutral Ice Beam VS
Gliscor = 98.31% --> 116.38%
Gligar = 77.84% --> 92.22%
100% OHKO with SR up (with Gliscor) against 20,5% with Gligar. I guess it's worth to invest a bit of SpD on Gligar just to secure survive. Anyway, it looks really good. Ok, time for something else.
Life Orb 252 SpA Roserade Neutral Leaf Storm VS
Gliscor = 103.39% --> 122.03%
Gligar = 81.74% --> 96.41%
You can: https://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/pokeshifter.shtml. It is really useful (filler lol)!Gigner you posted that RestTalk set, but I think that you can't import Pokemon from Gen 4 (can anyone confirm that?), and all of the gen 4 mons got Sleep Talk from the tutoer in the Emerald Frontier. All of these legality things confuse me lol x_x
pokemon is dumb
i just got xbl
gamertag: ajnardo add me yo. i only have mw2 atm but imma get black ops when it comes out and maybe/not likely halo reach

Mischievous Heart : Non-attacking moves have a higher speed priority.
(At least better than those shrooms you guys smoke ;D)
My GT is in my info. Too bad MW2 sickens me now. :( I only play Mass Effect (1 and 2) and Halo: Reach now.
Now onto pokemon. It find it quite hilarious that Chansey can now outclass Blissey. But is that only physically? Therefore Blissey is still a better Special Wall? Another thing that I want is that little first stage electric spider for LC. Anxiety (prevents the use of berries) could be great! :D
