World's 'Cheapest' Pokemon?
 
I've seen some cheap Pokemon in my time, and admit to using them. I've battled a Smeargle with Spore, Mind reader, Sheer Cold, and Aglilty. Things like this just make me laugh.

Any other Pokemon like this? Please don't post hacked 'cheap' Pokemon, as they don't really count.

Azonic November 11th, 2007 5:40 AM

Mind Reader + Sheer Cold on Articuno is teh wayy cheapest.

sims796 November 11th, 2007 5:45 AM

Hacked are teh cheapest!!!¡¡¡

OK, seriously,

Lock On-Zap Cannon.

How stupid is that?

Wait,

No Guard+Dynamic Punch. Thank god he's too slow.

Or

HaxKiss.

Hate it.

On an unrelated note, nice avatar, Mushroom.

MegaMushroom07 November 11th, 2007 5:53 AM

I was wondering, can you breed Skill Swap onto Sabeyle, or Spiritomb? In a double battle, the other Pokemon could be Shedninja, and then you'd have a legit Wondertomb/Sabyle thing.

Lol, thanks. I love photoshop.

sims796 November 11th, 2007 5:55 AM

Thats the reason it doesn't get Skill Swap.

How bout in a double battle, Zam uses Skill Swap on Shedinja, & then on Spiritomb? Sableye sucks.

Azonic November 11th, 2007 5:56 AM

The thing is, Wonder Guard can't be Skill Swapped. I've tried and it fails.

Though if you Skill Swap Slaking's Truant, it can be a beast.

sims796 November 11th, 2007 5:58 AM

Awww. Azonic beat us to the punch. Thanks for saving me breeding time.

MegaMushroom07 November 11th, 2007 5:58 AM

Oh well....good idea, I suppose.

Dark Azelf November 11th, 2007 6:24 AM

Speaking of Skill swap.

Try Skill Swapping Speed Boost onto a Slaking.

OR Imagine Skill swapping Pure Power onto Slaking 0_O

Omg, that made me twitch with fear, especially the bit about Speed Boosting Slaking. Good luck pulling those off, though. Can Yanma/ega get Skill Swap? That would be so cool in double battle.

While on the subject of Traits going where they shouldn't be, has anyone ever thought of a way to exploit Role Play? Just wondering is all...

Anti November 11th, 2007 7:19 AM

Mismagius' mean look + perish song trap is very annoying to deal with.

MegaMushroom07 November 11th, 2007 7:21 AM

Oh man, I love using that. One of my better ideas :)

Yeah i suppose the speed Boost would be hard, something like Starmie swaps it from Ninjask, withdraw Ninjask, send out Slaking and Skill Swap it onto it.


However Medicham can directly swap Pure power onto it.

Arsibiyez November 11th, 2007 7:32 AM

When you withdraw the Pokemon that Skill Swapped, does it get its old Trait back, or does the Trait it got through swapping still remain? (I hope that made sense.)

If the trait stays, then... Poor Medicham... :(

Nope it re-sets once you switch out.

This is the reason i dont do double battles XD

Holy--... This is really true. It was hard to deal with when it was just a Misdreavus, imagine it getting twice as hard with Mismagius' SDef at base 105! You'd have to find a way to OHKO or Roar / WWind it away before it starts its routine. It would most likely use Perish Song first (I've seen some who use Mean Look first, I don't know why, but whatever...), so switch to something that phazes.

So that means you can have Medicham AND Slaking with Pure Power?! If that isn't a recipe for disaster, I don't know what is! >___<

EDIT: I just understood that now. Foolish me...

PsyDragon Trainer November 11th, 2007 8:34 AM

Skarm/BronBliss... Yay for them... I hate them, so cheap, they can force you to battle like 45 minutes with all the switchings... I'm glad I manage to counter them quite nicely, but I'm truly sorry for those who can't.

Anti November 11th, 2007 8:39 AM

You'd have to be really stupid to trap something that can PHaze you.

Shiraishi November 11th, 2007 11:19 AM

Breloom is freaking evil if my Starmie is dead.

MegaMushroom07 November 11th, 2007 11:22 AM

Salamence isn't cheap, just strong.

Shiraishi November 11th, 2007 11:24 AM

SpecsMence is actually quite insane. Very few pokes can take a Draco Meteor and live :x

MegaMushroom07 November 11th, 2007 11:43 AM

Incidently, I once saw a Blissey with 700 HP.

ChrisG14 November 11th, 2007 11:44 AM

The king of Cheap Pokemon:

It can be taken down a bit easier now, but it's still cheap fine wine.

Samson November 11th, 2007 11:45 AM
