Really? My friends freaked out when I used Azelf in a fight.

airconditioning November 1st, 2007 7:02 PM

Azelf is one of the Legendaries that fall into the OU tier, so he's okay for standard play. In fact, there are a number of Legendaries that fall below OU, such as Uxie, Moltres, and Entei (all BL). The entire Uber tier consists of...

* Arceus
* Darkrai
* Deoxys
* Dialga
* Giratina
* Groudon
* Ho-Oh
* Kyogre
* Latias
* Latios
* Lugia
* Manaphy
* Mew
* Mewtwo
* Palkia
* Rayquaza
* Wobbuffet
* Wynaut

Why Wynaut and Wobbuffet? Their insane HP, combined with Encore, Mirror Coat/ Counter, and Shadow Tag make them near unbeatable.

Anti November 1st, 2007 7:04 PM

If your friends didn't know azlef isn't uber...I won't say it...

suicune...or any special tank for that matter, would be a nice addition to your team.

Oddball November 1st, 2007 7:08 PM

Well, they said "no legendarys," and I never considered azelf a legendary, and that's why they freaked out.

anybody who clauses legendaries is a n00b...prefering not to have them or just don't like facing them is one thing. I see that all the time...it's fine. But going, "leik, legnedz are tota11y uberz m6n! (We need Nameless to do his n00b talk for this one...)...but yeah.

some people just don't like legends, which is fine, there IS a difference.

What's Shadow Tag? I can't find it under the movelist.

Houndoom666 November 1st, 2007 7:13 PM

Im not even sure Suicune is exactly "Ledgendary" persay. Hmm maybe it is ledgendary. Yep it is cuz u cant use him in the Battle Fronteir. Im just now learning about Ubers but what ever they are, Suicune is one of em. XD

shadow tag is its ability, making you unable to switch out. yeah, wobbufet is a BEAST.

EDIT: Houndoom666, suicune ISN'T uber...I JUST said that :/

Oddball November 1st, 2007 7:14 PM

So what do I need to use then, since Suicune's out for this one?

suicune isn't uber though...houndoom666 is wrong, as I mentioned in my edit. It's a perfectly fine standard pokemon that every team should have a counter for.

Oddball November 1st, 2007 7:20 PM

My friends play no legendary though.

So I have either Skarm + Clay or Donphan + CmCune?

As well as Agiligross, Porygon-Z, Salamence, and Blissey?

Tell your friends to play by standard rules or don't play at all.

If they just don't prefer legendaries though it REALLY doesn't sound that way) fine, but explain to them where you're coming from and try to convince them otherwise, eh? works for me :)

But if they don't like CMcune, use gardevoir maybe...it makes decent use of CM and with WoW, can make a beast of a tank.

Oddball November 1st, 2007 7:36 PM

Thanks! So now it's a question of EV's for Agiligross, Salamence, Porygon-Z, Blissey, Donphan and Suicune?

Rantern November 1st, 2007 8:46 PM

Eh, Salamence can work in alot of different ways.IDK if you want just the EV'S or what but i'm just going to post the entire (2) movesets.

Specsmence-

[email protected](choice specs)
Intimidate
Modest(+Sp.Att,-Att)
EV'S: 252 Sp.Att / 252 Speed / 4 HP
-Draco Meteor
-Flamethrower / Fire Blast
-Hydro Pump
-Dragon Pulse

I'd personally run with Flamethrower than with Fire Blast due to the fact that Fire Blast has 5 PP, and it's accuracy is 70% I think(It's still not good enough IMO).Though its Sp. Attack is lower than its
Attack, it can do incredible amounts of damage with the insanely powerful
Draco Meteor. Very few Pokemon can survive a full power Draco Meteor and even
fewer can survive the second round of this move. Only Steel types resist
Dragon moves and those are taken care of by Flamethrower. Heatran is the only
Pokemon that resists both Dragon and Fire attacks, so Hydro Pump is reserved
especially for it. Dragon Pulse is your secondary Dragon move. Use it near the
end of the battle when your opponents have already been weakened.

Then there is the

CBMence-

[email protected]
Intimidate
Adamant(+Att,-Sp.Att)
EV'S: 252 Attack / 252 Speed / 4 HP
-Stone Edge
-Dragon Claw
-Earthquake
-Filler / Fire Blast

The last spot you could place Zen Headbutt because thats what I role with.Fire Blast is an option as well.Although I highly recommend Fire Blast for Skarmory.A STABed Dragon Claw could be a nasty
surprise to people who switch in their Blisseys because they expected your
Salamence to be a Choice Specs version. Earthquake hits Steel types. Fire
Blast hits airbone Steels like Skarmory and Bronzong and will do more damage
than Fire Fang. Stone Edge is for Flyers like Gyarados.


These are the only sets I can think of for now but I'll try to think of more.

Anti-Pop, they can play by which ever standards they like.

Oddball November 2nd, 2007 3:45 AM

Quick question: Don't you want blissey to have sp defense since that's her specialty, or do you want it to have defense because of it's low defense?

Angelic Diablo November 2nd, 2007 3:55 AM

unless you plan on using Blissey in the uber tier... always Bold and always Max Def EVs... otherwise any physical hit would KO it...

Blissey (and Milotic) are the only two exceptions (that I can think of) that you put EVs in with the lowest useable stat, ie Defence for Blissey... as it is all about increasing durability, and with as much Sp Def as Blissey has, she doesn't need anymore unless going up against uber pokemon

Arsibiyez November 2nd, 2007 4:03 AM

Blissey desperately needs her Def and Bold Nature because without them, any decent physical attack OHKO's her, even attacks as weak as Aerial Ace will do considerable damage if coming with STAB.

To save you the trouble of asking, STAB means "Same Type Attack Bonus". This means that Pokemon that use moves that are the same type that they are will do 150% damage.



And just to comment on that Wobbuffet thing earlier, that big blue thing gets owned by Future Sight. Future Sight can't be Mirror Coated, so Wobbuffet can't do squat except to Encore it. My Gardevoir loves Future Sight. Lol.

Speaking of Psychic types, what role do you propose to give Espeon? Baton Passer or Special Sweeper? She's been blessed with great SAtk and Speed, so decide on a role, and we can provide possible movesets. =)

Saito November 2nd, 2007 4:31 AM

I heard that stab damage is just what everyone said..Actually do it really stab?

Arsibiyez November 2nd, 2007 5:02 AM

I can't understand what that last post is asking for, so I'll just explain STAB again...

STAB stands for:

S- Same
T- Type
A- Attack
B- Bonus

This means that a Pokemon that uses an attack of the same type will do 150% damage. For example: Breloom, a Grass- and Fighting-type Pokemon, uses Focus Punch. Focus Punch is a Fighting-type attack with a base power of 150. Since Breloom is a Fighting-type Pokemon, Focus Punch will do 150% damage. So, 150 * 1.5, or to make it easier, 150% of 150 is 225. So instead of 150, Focus Punch will have a total power of 225, which is really high. There's no actual STABBING going on. Pokemon don't IMPALE each other.

1.5=50%
1.5=1/2
75 is half of 150
150+75=225

Actually, 1.5=1 and 1/2 :/ STAB just make the move 1.5x more powerful.

Oddball November 2nd, 2007 1:16 PM

As far as EV's are concerned:
 
My friend was telling me that he was going to kill Beautiflys which give 3 sp. atk EV's, and use a macho brace and Pokerus to get 12 ev's per fight. He said that will give you maxed in 21 fights, and then once he does all his stats, he's going to rare candy to 100. He's hacked his game of course, but, will this work in theory?
