That's pretty good Azelf, airconditioning.
I'm sure you'll get pretty far with it- for both battles and negotiation. |
What makes a better lead generally? DDTar or CBTar?

IMO both are quite horrible leads as you don't have an advantage on anything in particular except Azelf in the case of CBtar. Either you could use FreakTar (LO MixTar) or MixScarfTar, both which function better as leads.

I guess CBTar is a better lead. Thanks Archer. |
If I ever used a Tyranitar [god forbid please forgive me for ever thinking of this], and wanted to lead with it, I'd certainly go with Boah.

@Aquilae From my uses, Salamence's Intimidate doesn't stop it from being either OHKO'd or KO'd (depending on what set they use) Gyarados gets massacred no question. |

As for no-one running strong leads, What about Specs Mence? |
Quote:
And not many Salamence like to take a Stone Edge or Ice Beam from Tar. |
I don't think so. Tar has base 150 SpD in SS.
|
Tar doesn't have base 150 SpD in Sandstorm. Mixmence will OHKO regardless and Tyranitar is quite frankly, easily walled during the earlygame, even moreso if it is Intimidated.
SpecsMence certainly would not OHKO Tyranitar, assuming it stays in Tar is crippled for the rest of the battle. I would switch out of Tyranitar. |

Sorry to butt in, but I've left (English) Pokemon battling for sometime, and finally came back.
Tyraniboah is intriguing, and I've looked up on what the build is like. So is it safe for me to assume that it's a Sub-Punch T-Tar that has special attack moves to break walls which it usually cannot? |
Quote:
So you'd have 448 Sp. Def points with a Neutral nature and 0 EVs. You can't really address it to a base stat, because the boost is variable. Anyway, I see Tyranitar vs Salamence as a prediction match. If Mence is Specs, you win with Ice Beam. If it's Mixed, you lose. edit; @kohei: That's basically it. |
Quote:
@kohei Boah is basically what you said. SubPunch is to remove Bliss while the other moves down walls and stuff. I would like to know more about the Japanese metagame. I heard Lanturn is high OU there, which is surprising =.= |
Quote:
Thanks, now I know! I was surprised at Lanturn being used a lot here too. However it's a great Special Water/Ice/Electric wall. Bliss is hated (with a passion) amongst most players here, and many people decide against using it (「自重する」). So I guess alternative spec. walls start becoming popular. |
自重するwwww
I wish we English players had that kind of hatred towards Blissey too. Even though we all hate it, most of us use it anyway. [I don't, though ♥] Is Garchomp the over-overused Pokémon over there, too? |
Quote:
It's all rooted deep within our society and culture, so it may seem strange to foreign people. Quote:
As far as I know, it is less popular then back in 2006, but is still considered a 厨ポケ ("chuu-Poke", a degrading term used to point out "EZ-to-use Pokemanz for kidz"). |
The Japanese Metagame sounds interesting. Guys I only brought up Specsmence in support of using High-Offense Leads.

Deoxys Nature
Jus wondering whats the preferred nature of Deoxys? I want to kno Before I recieve mine? Can anybody help? Thanx
|
I don't think you can choose...

You can choose just reset the game without saving once u have recieved it, If Its not the nature u want and try again...
