Phione is now UU
 
Phione is now considered UU by Smogon, which basically means, it's UU. :P

The first Legendary to be under the BL Tier. An influx of UU Rain Dance teams is on the cards me thinks. ;)

Well it's about time. I always thought Phione did great in NU, and fine in UU. I use it in my UU rain dance team and I really don't have any problems with it in that tier. Im glad people figured it finally can get it's deserved bump. I used it as a wall in my UU rain team. Acid armor fun yall ;D First legend to ake it UU, well good to hear people found the use for it in UU. Now of course it will never go any further but it least will not be "never used" for the time being.

Yes, Phione is one of those "Forgotten" pokemon. It certainly has potential, with 80 Base in all stats.

Just wanted to say something: Phione is not a legendary; only Manaphy is.

Sorryyy I know UU and OU, but what is NU?? Stupid question, I know!!

El Gofre March 16th, 2008 11:48 AM

NU= Never used, as in so bad it fails against everything

aricarrot March 16th, 2008 11:59 AM

kk, that's what I was thinking... Thanks!! :D

Zacceh March 16th, 2008 2:27 PM

Personally, I agree that Phione has potential. I'm gonna raise one up myself and see for myself though :)

I classify Unown, Rotom, and Phoine as "Semi-Legendaries"

They follow some basic Legendary at least, but break others.

Though, tachnically, using this method, Ditto could be considered such too, but I don't.

Anyways, I'm glad my Modest EV Trained Phione will finally see the light of batting in the competitive arena :D

I have no idea what the heck any of you just said. I just play and collect :D

Naito March 16th, 2008 6:31 PM

Phione is UU huh?

Well, there's another Pokemon for Rain Dance teams that's worth using. Glad to see that this Pokemon's in UU, so we can see more of it.

Still... I have a soft spot for Vaporeon.

Mikoliah March 16th, 2008 6:33 PM

someone tell me what you are talking about.

super onii chan March 16th, 2008 6:33 PM

RikuLetircani March 16th, 2008 7:28 PM

talking about phione and all......I just realized, I have 301 of them.....wow.....anyone want one!?

Shiny Umbreon March 16th, 2008 7:36 PM

Ok, this is really better in S&M, and it has become a bit spammy. shinyhunter and Mikoliah, those posts weren't really necessary. RikuLetircani, don't advertise Pokémon for trade here.

Anyway, you can remake the thread in S&M if it's accepted. It's better.

-CLOSED-

By the way, about Phione's legendary status, it had never been considered a legendary up to now, as being legendary meant not appearing more than once in a single game. Since you can breed many Phione, a new definition should be made, and I think there can't be a correct one if Phione is in that category. Pokémon.com has just ruined it, but I don't know how loyal they are to the games because if we follow the anime, Arcanine ends up being a legendary too (it appears in the tablet where Ash sees a drawing of Ho-oh in the first or second episode).
