sorry about the spelling.I've sadi this before,but when the server went down it seems to have reset it.Anyway,this thread seems to have got to be more of a Garchomp discussion.I,personally,think that Garchomp is merely a challenge.Lapras is the most scary thing to me now.Unless i make a counter i'm never battling Apostle again czo that thing sweeps me

Lapras is the most scary thing to you? I feel you don't even know what you're talking about. Lapras is not a threat whatsoever in OU. It's merely UU, and when it comes to physical or special sweepimg, it gets outclassed very easily in OU.

Divine~Deoxys August 22nd, 2008 9:37 AM

i know,but,like i sad,Apostle's DDLapras swept my team.Other than that it woudl be DDGyara

sims796 August 22nd, 2008 10:15 AM

Hey, I saw beswt intimidating sweeper. I saw nothing bout OU. Plus, if he says Lapras is scarier to him, Lapras is scarier to him.

BeachBoy August 22nd, 2008 10:32 AM

Well, being swept once doesn't equal most intimidating sweeper, yeah, maybe for him, but not overall. Basically, that means you need to reconstruct your team. Anyway, I think I'll throw more Salamence love in the basket. Simply because I've been playing around with BulkyDDMence lately and the sheer destruction caused is divine. :D I know I said Gyara and Luke earlier, but Salamence continues to grow on me, along with it's sweeping totals. :> DDGyara has it's good points and all too, and it's up there, don't get me wrong. Salamence just... works, for me anyway. Couple it with a Magnezone and it shreds the battle field, I'm fearful of it as well. It's intimidating simply due to it's ability, (lame pun is lame) and it's depth to Choice Band, Fast DD, Bulky, etc really make it quite the force from the physical spectrum.

Isn't about the "overall" best sweeper, just personal opinion.

But as I said,I go with SD Luke. Once is counters are gone or weakend, he's unbeatable.

I know, I was merely pointing that out. This thread may be geared towards personal opinion, but it also can turn into overall as side notes. Just... well, saying.

And I agree in the Lucario regard. Coupled with Pocket Monsters to take down it's "checks," or counters it really does shred like no tomorrow. I, myself, haven't always had huge Luke worries, but it's definitely one of the top sweepers today.

sims796 August 22nd, 2008 10:38 AM

Ah, I love it when ya say "pocket monsters". I must go with LO Salamence as well,, as it can rui Luke sweeps, with Intimidate & STAB resistance.

TheMauveStorm August 23rd, 2008 3:44 AM

Garchomp. He is on 85% of teams. Though that's not a surprise because in D/P you only use 12 different Pokemon.

Divine~Deoxys August 23rd, 2008 8:09 AM

Oh,by the way,i got swept three times,otherwise i 0wudon't be intimdated by it.I'm not scared of Garchoomp,but one swept me.Gyarados,yeah,thats' scary,but that's because i can't counter it.Mamoswine?Na,that's jsut funny.Salamence?yeah,if it was bulky i'd be screwed,but i ithnk it's awesome,jsut not scary.

. August 23rd, 2008 2:59 PM

Mamoswine is just funny? Your post is hilarious kiddo. Mamoswine OHKO Garchomp with Ice Shard, a Base 40 Power move (Base 60 with STAB =D) Mamo > Your god.

Divine~Deoxys August 24th, 2008 4:51 AM

i know,but i don'#t find itb intimidating,its got more to do with thew Garchomp discussion to me.Anyway,you're right,its awesome,but that's about it

Dear God, ROFLCune, use the space bar. I also recommend using Firefox's spell check.

Anyway, agreeing with Vince on Mamo; it's just awesome.

Curse Mamo is awesome. It bypasses the Speed Drop.

But CB Tar is a menace. It deals out massive damage to anything that switches in. It's Stone Edge is about as powerful as CBChomp's Outrage.

. August 24th, 2008 5:24 AM

CBTar's Stone Edge makes me laugh. It 3HKO's Magnezone, who has Base 115 Def.

And resists Rock.
Ubers aside, Scarf Medicham is a real threat for anything frail physically. 438 Attack without nature is like about 170 base stat, rare even for Ubers.

You can't see through sarcasm can't you Mag. 3HKO on Magnezone is pretty cool for a resisted move.

Read above.

Divine~Deoxys August 25th, 2008 4:28 AM

its quite hard to see sarcasm on the internet Vance.Anyway,yeah,CBTar is a beast,but ScarfTar is too,and so are all the others,i'm actually scared of BoldBliss,coz one took out my entire team,its a matter of opinion about tihngs,some people will be scared of E-Vire still,desptie the fact every OU team in existence now has at least two counters to it,even if its unplanned,the nly Dragon it can take down is Dragonite.I'm scared of ubers,but that's just me.

. August 25th, 2008 4:33 AM

Kiddo, are you referring to my Bold Bliss that swept your team? :D That wasn't a sweep, you just couldn't take it down, nor could you stall it out.

Divine~Deoxys August 25th, 2008 4:57 AM

no,King T's Boldbliss.I odn't remember ever battling you

. August 25th, 2008 5:36 AM

Oh my god lol. I am King Tyranitar ROFLCune.

Anyway, more on topic. Breloom scares me half to death. I've been using it and (owning) the Smogon leaderboard. I'm afraid it might turn against me one day o:

BeachBoy August 26th, 2008 10:29 AM

Honestly, it's about time this thread went bye bye. :| The regurgitating points and off-topic posts went too far. As decided by the S&M staff, lock time.
