Politoad
 
I found out last time that I shouldn't voice my opinion of pokemon, but rather what everyone else thinks my pokemon should have, so I have decided to go anarcist. Check it!!!

[email protected]
Calm~252 special Defense/252 Special Attack/6 hp
Water Absorb
Haze
Surf
psychic
Ice Beam

Yay for no leader!!!!! @narcistment

Anti September 13th, 2007 6:31 PM

Um...okay. May I recommend HP Electric for type coverage on it? Psychic doesn't do all too much...and I wouldn't take the "can't voice my view on PKMN" thing too seriously. Forgive and forget...also, it can belly drum, but poliwrath is much better at that...

Ooka September 13th, 2007 6:33 PM

Well, 1)I don't want to waste days of my life on Hp anything.
2)I didn't pick poliwrath because I don't like him.

But anyways, thanks for the comment.

Anti September 13th, 2007 6:34 PM

Well, I don't blame you about HP...but I would use something other than psychic. Maybe HP *anything with high power and decent type coverage* That saves you more time than you'd think.

Ooka September 13th, 2007 6:36 PM

Well, I was thinking about substitute to suck up status.

Anti September 13th, 2007 6:40 PM

Yeah, sub is a good option too. I still say HP could work, regarless of the type, as long as it isn't like, poison.

Ooka September 13th, 2007 6:42 PM

Well, I honestly hate HP but when I'm iv breeding, if I happen to get something other than ice, water, phychic, poison, or normal with 60+ power, I'll use it.

Anti September 13th, 2007 6:44 PM

If you had HP dragon you would hit everything except empoleon I believe.

Ooka September 13th, 2007 6:47 PM

Well, I don't expect it to hit everything, I have starmie for that XD.

Samson September 13th, 2007 11:00 PM

a good, effective Politoed set:

Politoed @ Wide Lens
Bold Nature
Ability: Damp/Water Absorb
252 HP/160 DEF/44 SP DEF/52 SP ATK
-Hydro Pump
-Ice Beam
-Hypnosis
-Substitute

set a sub after scaring a foe away, set sub, and set to sleep. hydro pump is preferred because wide lens boosts its accuracy. damp or water absorb are equally good on politoed. it really depends on what is more of a threat to your team.

i use politoed myself, and i love it.

Ooka September 14th, 2007 3:29 AM

I think I'll just stck to my hazer set Samson.

Samson September 14th, 2007 7:57 AM

i think you're failing to recognize that politoed is too slow to pull haze off. the only time where haze would be effective on politoed is if you're up against a CM Suicune and a CurseLax. otherwise, by the time politoed makes its way into battle, it won't be able to take a hit, use haze, then survive the following moves. it CAN however, come in, take a hit, and KO the threat or maybe even scare them away.

Iceman3k September 14th, 2007 8:02 AM

Unless of course, he packed it with like, Max HP, and some defenses with a Bold Nature.
But then again, I think retarded thoughts, so don't mind me too much

Ooka September 14th, 2007 9:20 AM

Thing is Samson, I don't care what you think. I might actually try what you said though Iceman, defense him up and then use him as my hazer.

Smarties-chan September 14th, 2007 9:36 AM

~Kazaam~, just saying you don't care about Samson's opinion is rather rude and instead of saying that, you could tell him why you don't want to use the set he provided. You seem to be under the impression that you're somehow above Samson and if you don't stop acting like you are, I'm sure a warning will fix your attitude.

As for the set itself, a Hazing Politoed wants to go defensive, in which case you'll want something like:

Politoed @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
Calm Nature
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpDef / 4 SpAtk

- Hypnosis
- Haze
- Rest/Ice Beam/Surf/Hydro Pump/Focus Blast
- Rest/Ice Beam/Surf/Hydro Pump/Focus Blast

A Hazer is usually a Pokémon that can take a hit or two in which case most EVs should be invested in defensive stats. In Politoed's case you won't be able to do any real damage without sacrificing a whole lot of tanking capability, which is why a defensive Politoed should have all its EVs in Special Defense and HP.

Samson's only trying to help, just like I, and everyone else is. Now, you don't have to take his advice if you don't want to, but you also do not have to say you don't care what he thinks publically in an effort to anger him.

Ooka September 14th, 2007 4:50 PM

Yeah but every thread I start, when I say I don't like the set he gave me, he gets all defensive and starts insulting my intelligence.

Anyways, I think I might try the high defense and just haze myself out of any stat changes.

Samson September 14th, 2007 5:04 PM

insulting your intelligence? in what way exactly did i insult your intelligence? was it anything like your calling my suggestions stupid? cus if so, i don't remember it, but i'd know better enough to apologize for it.

it seems like no matter what username you hide under, you are just as unpleasant as ever.

...Well, that's between you and him, I'm out of this

Anyways, I think I might try the high defense and just haze myself out of any stat changes.

Well if you do that, here's some EVs:

252 HP / 176 Def / 80 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)

Wait, what? If it's mullet you're talking about, PM me please...I've actually gotten better since our rumble in the jungle a month or so back...I'm not so stupid anymore. But yeah, I just have to say I would post a moveset, but it seems now you are just neglecting our ideas. While I rarely take sides, I'm with Iceman and Samson on this one. Why make a thread if you won't even listen at all?

no i'm speaking about Ooka aka ~Kazaam~.

Anti September 14th, 2007 5:17 PM

I remember him...from way back. But really, why put ddown our advice? You did the same thing in the tauros thread, even though our suggestions were much better than giga impact...but smarties can handle this. I'm tired of being bossed around by Mullet, Kazaam, whoever the heck it is. Why post a thread if our advice means nothing? Just curious...

Ooka September 14th, 2007 6:14 PM

Um, if you check, I took everyones advice in this thread except Samson's. And I don't know why you guys are ganging up on me just because I don't want to hear any advice that Samson hs to say. Yet he still keeps coming into every thread I start, I say I don't want to use his moveset, then he says something along the lines of,
Quote:

learn how to get over your ignorance and apologize for foul statements
Which is a direct quote from my other thread. And unless I am reading wrong, that is calling my ignorant, which is deserving of an apology.

Anti September 14th, 2007 6:18 PM

Okay, really. This thread...what is it worth anymore? Why hate Samson so much? Really, just b/c you may have a beef with Samson doesn't mean you should toally ignore his comments, and you haven't been the nicest. You did call Itachi Uchiha a n00b in your miltank thread...even if you disagree with advice, doesn't mean you have to flame it, which might have something to do with us ganging up on you. There's your answer.

First of all, I called Itachi a noob because he told me to get a Bold Miltank, and he said it on purpose. That is just asking for it.

Second of all, I didn't flame samsons advice, I just told him that I don't want advice he has to give me(more or less)and I haven't done anything to you which means you have a beef with me for no apparent reason.
