i present to you gliscor!

my favorite pokemon, who is also one of the greatest physical walls is only weak to ice beam, meaning a skarmory/blissey counter like infernape won't have a choice but to use flamethrower. since gliscor survives the attack, it crushes infernape with an earthquake which is "stabbed" by the way. quite surprisingly, it can also survive an ice punch from an electivire and pull in an earthquake to faint the common sweeper. it also has fighting resistance and it takes neutral damage from rock the most commonly used combination of physical sweepers. one of the only difference from skarmory is that gliscor does not have all those resistances skarmory has with it's sub-steel typing. gliscor also has a 95 base speed, pretty fast for a wall and it is able to outrun porygon-z without a choice scarf. it also has a self-recovery move, roost which ables it to take lesser damage from ice attacks. also a very good 95 base attack, with 75 base hp (same as skarmorys), and the awesome 125 defense, its a good thing to combine with your blissey as blissey is weak to fighting moves

thats my review on gliscor, i even used to use gligar back then!

For the record, you don't really need a concluding sentence. What makes wobbufet so cheap isn't all of its moves, but the fact that shadow tag makes it so you cannot escape.

And I'd actually agree with the grade Itachi was given. He mentioned one example, and it wasn't a very good one :/ Really, there was Nothing GOOD to support that conclusion at all.

Of course, he is correct, but the lac of any backup makes it very meh. For example, Hypno is a beast in OUs since some people don't know its standard movesets and all that. It can stall effectively, provide wish suppport, and wall nasty special attacks. and pinsir can be quite the beast in OUs in the right hands.

But yeah, before you're so quick as to get mad at his grade, realise he was right...

GalladeIceMan December 8th, 2007 7:32 AM

nice 100%. Keep up the good work.

Anti December 8th, 2007 7:32 AM

Erm, I was only adding onto Itachi's ;)

Hey, I'll give it a shot.

Ursaring: The Bear Pokemon

Coming from Jellystone Park, Ursaring is definitaly smarter than the average bear. With a meaty 130 Base Attack and good movepool, he can rape a team pretty easily. In the 3rd Gen, he was ok, but really too slow to sweep a team without BP support. But now those days are over in 4th Gen with Quick Feet. Give him max speed EVs and IVs, Toxic or Flame Orb, he rips teams to shreads with a nice Earthquake, Shadow Claw, Return/Facade, and Close Combat. Only Bronzong and Skarmory can take those hits like champs, so if you have Emerald and a need to breed, go with Fire Punch over Shadow Claw. Though you can only have Guts with Fire Punch Ursaring, a nice BP from Ninjask can still make it a good sweeper. But once you see Fire Punch or Shadow Claw, you know who can take the big bear out. In conclusion, don't let his Yogi Bear appearance fool you, if you try to set up on an Ursaring, you WILL regret it.

Anti December 8th, 2007 9:11 AM

Keep in mind that giving a quick feet ursurand flame orb would gobble up its attack stat, so only toxic orb would suffice.

GalladeIceMan; your review rates are spam; stop writing them. And Itachi and MegaMushroom, stay on topic; I'll be watching this thread closely and just one more off-topic post from either one of you and you'll get a nice little warning.

And because I like the general idea of the topic, I'll make my own review about the deadliest little critter you'll ever encounter in Pokémon: Pachirisu.

You may think Pachirisu is a useless waste of space in your cartridge, but I've used one on Shoddy and it's quite fun to play with. Pachirisu's stats are bad even on UU standards apart from its schmexy base 95 Speed and 90 Special Defense. Pachirisu's movepool also isn't great, it has a couple of support moves, but its offensive options are terrible. So what makes this Pokémon that shines with its mediocrity so awesome? Two words: Super Fang, one the most broken moves in the game, combined with its good base Speed make it a force to be reckoned with. On its own, Pachirisu is pathetic, but it's a great team player capable of bringing down the opponent's HP to quick KO range. Switch in Pachirisu on something that will either want to switch out from it or will try using a status move on you, Sub up and start spamming Super Fang. Thunder Wave can be used to cripple sweepers on the switch or when Pachirisu is doomed regardless of what you do and Thunderbolt should deal enough damage to keep Skarmory and Gyarados away.

The great thing with Pachirisu is that its 90 base Special Defense actually allows it to withstand some weaker special hits making it possible to cripple your opponent's special sweepers and allowing Pachirisu to actually switch in to some offensive moves. Pachirisu is awesome in the way that few people know what it's capable of doing and thus, take it lightly, giving it time to set up a Sub and start pwning.

Pachirisu might not be the best choice (especially if you play OU), but it can give you a good laugh when you take out an Earthquakeless Forretress or a Togekiss without Aura Spehere with it not to mention it gives great parasupport and works well with fast sweepers as it can bring down its opponent's health to 50%, making even powerful walls vulnerable to sweeping. Pachirisu isn't for players with bad predicting skills, but if you're good at predicting your opponent's moves, Pachirisu will fail to disappoint you. If for nothing else, use it for the LOL-factor.

I'll try it again, but not Spammy:

UU's - UU's: They are.. Unique... To say the least. They are sometimes overshadowed by omnipresent Pokemon such as this: Flygon. The main OU Pokemon that does It's job better, is Garchomp. Despite this, it should not discourage you from using Flygon. Unlike Garchomp, it has Roost, a very valuable recovry move, and a suitable one. Another UU, moving on, is http://archives.bulbagarden.net/w/upload/thumb/9/9b/ArtManmoo.png/140px-ArtManmoo.png Hi! My name is Mamoswine! Today, I will present to you how I kick Heracross's ass:

Opponent switched in Heracross! Heracross: Heh.
Mamoswine used Peck/Ice shard. Swine': Bye bye!
Heracross: NOOOOOOO! *OHKo'd, if not, KO'd*

MegaMushroom07 December 8th, 2007 9:40 AM

You want 'Lol' factor?

Take a Baton Pass Curse Umbreon and get Cursing. Pass to an agility & BP Poke, then do the same.

BP to Focus Sash Magikarp, and PWN!!!

Mamoswine in UU? L-O-L-Z!


It's in OU or at least BL at the least.

It still can't switch into Heracross :/
