Hi. I just told you I'm joining. So I guess I'll do it. Jirachi is mine >=D. Also Zong is cute.
|
Joining because I want to. ;3
I'm not a big fan of zong but I'd like a Jirachi too please. :c |
I'll join too.
not exactly attached to zong I'll have a Durant. :> |
What the heck, I'll join too!
Partner: Stoney Blaes Jr. the Heatran But I feel the name of the club is inaccurate... Not all steel types are slow. Lucario has decent speed , Jirachi is faster, Metagross is fast enough to make use of Agility, Klingklang, has Gear Change, which inceases it's good attack & speed & Scizor ignores it's speed stat with it's very strong Bullet Punch. Also, Excadrill has good speed which doubles in the VERY common sandstorm. |
Alright, added everyone. Thanks for joining guys!

Alright, added everyone!
Also, how about something new... ACTIVITY Review a Steel type Pokemon! This will be a weekly activity. Basically, every week, I will choose steel type Pokemon, and what you do is review and share your opinion of it. Do you think it has a nice design? Do you feel like it's good in battling? Do you think they went creative with it? And all that stuff, really. I'll change Pokemon every sunday! This week's Pokemon is... SCIZOR! Gogogo! |
I'm in. :)
And I'll answer the last topic just cos I never got to cos I wasn't here. :DDD 1. Scizor 2. Scizor 3. Scizor 4. Skarmory 5. Scizor Do you really need an evaluation of Scizor from me? ;-; |
Scizor is sexy. Ever since Platinum gave it Bullet Punch it's battling capabilities skyrocketed, as I'm sure most of us are well aware of. I also like it's design a lot.
[/awful review where I have to go to work soon] |
http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/212.gif
ScizorDesign: 7/10 Stats: 8/10 Viability: 10/10 Scizor is an overrated yet interesting Pokemon. Great design with decent stats make this Pokemon viable in the Metagame. When you first look at this Pokemon, you'd probably want to get one. Of course, it's quite difficult to guess that this is Scyther's evolution, with the change in its secondary typing and all. This is a downfall, and it doesn't even look like a steel type. Despite that, the design is amazing and it brings justice to Bug types. Most Pokemon fan would always want their hand on a Scizor. Heck, Scizor is one of the reasons I chose Treecko in PMD1. (As you can't get Treecko's friend area until after the credits roll, which is also Scyther's friend area.) The stats were creative. It would only make sense for it to have a better defense and attack but a lower speed as it has a thick, red metallic exoskeleton. However, the low speed and rather mediocre Sp.Def and HP pulls it back. But the low speed isn't much of a problem as Technician and Bullet Punch makes up for it. Supported with an amazing 130 base attack makes it a great Choice Bander and a monster with Swords Dance. A 100 base defense isn't something to laugh at as well. Scizor is amazing in the metagame. Filling many roles such as choice user, revenge killer, bulky sweeper and a lot more. Countering one of the biggest threat in the game, Reuniclus and being able to actually take hits. A +2 Bullet Punch is capable of 2HKOing Infernape and Blaziken, 2 Pokemon that resists it. However, Scizor is rather countered easily by Rotom-W, Skarmory, Bronzong and especially Jellicent holds it back this gen. But with the great support you should be careful of it. Overall, Scizor is a great Pokemon design-wise and battling-wise. Is it overrated? Yes Does it deserve it? Absolutely. |
/join with Jirachi
HAXRACHI RULES! I guess I'll do a review when Jirachi comes, then? I guess I'll do Scizor later, 'cause I'm tired rn. |
There's no discussion to be had here. Along with Ground and Rock types, Steel types are my besties. Partners will be... A Bisharp, named Vindicator, and an Aggron named Protector. Now, onto this weeks topic...
Scizor Although I must be the single person on the planet never to have used Scizor, it looks fairly ok. Although my preferences always lean towards Pokemon with massive defences and often a bulky design (Excluding my beloved Bisharp) Scizor has an ok design in my opinion. As I've never used the fellow, I can't say how good it is, but from what I've read on Smogon and other sites the equation of Bullet Punch + Technician + STAB + Swords dance makes for a fairly good squisher of unprepared foes. Although 100 base defense isn't something to sniff at, I do like Pokemon who you can't hit for any damage at all. So Scizor is, in my opinion, an average Pokemon with a reputation that could easily be sorted out with a good dose of Fire Pokemon. But it's Steel, so therefore is good. |
Scizor is by far, one of the best designed Pokemon, it's sleek, yet avant garde design is only added on to by its magnificent coat of crimson. The claws just make it even better, looking like extra heads. Competitively, it's a monster, enough said, and I adore Pokemon like Scizor, competitively, because I use and love it and never have any problems defeating it, so it's all good with me. All in ally, Scizor is the epidemy of coolness and badassery.

Thanks guys for joining and reviewing Scizor! Added everyone and edited the first post.
NEW TOPIC Which Steel type Pokemon look best in shiny? And since it's sunday! (Is it?) It's time to announce this week's Pokemon to review... http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/625.gif BISHARPHave fun everyone~ |
can i join??? i guess my top 5 are
1.Aggron(looks like a shogun) 2.Scizor(its a Scizor) 3.Lucario(he can talk!) 4.Metagross(he looks cool) 5.Steelix(this sounds childish but i like the shape of his head :3) |
reviewing: BISHARP http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-bw/icon/625.png
to me, Bisharp always looked like one of them Ninjas. XD; i've to say i'm no expert on Bisharp, as i never used it in battles before. i do think it's a very decent pokémon. the design reminds me a bit of Scyther/Scizor (and also a bit of Weavile), especially their pokédex entry: Quote:
i have to say i like its moves, though.. and its Attack stat is quiite decent, too. all you have to watch out for is a FIGHTINGtype-pokémon.. 4x damage might hurt. all in all, i give it an 8 / 10. |
What? Only two posts since my last post? That won't do!
Due to the fact we only got one review for Bisharp since the last two weeks, Bisharp will still remain the Pokemon for this week. Might as well add a new topic along with the latest one. Who is your favorite Steel type leader? |
Bisharp
Totally amazing design. Fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. It's also based on a chess piece, and as I am a chess nut, that also added brownie points for the Sharp Sword Pokemon. In-game, as long as it's supported by a good flying Pokemon, it has always proven extremely useful. It got me through three of the Elite Four single handed, barred only by Marshal, who was defeated by the aforementioned supporting Flying-type. With a beastly Attack stat, I used a combination of Night Slash, X-Scissor, Shadow Claw and Sword's dance to crush those puny Psychic and Ghost types. But it's severe weakness to the excessively common Fighting type has somewhat limited my usage of it- but when it has been used, it has always performed outstandingly. I can't speak for it in competitive battling as I have never used it in such an arena, but I think it would be less effective there, due to the prevalence of Fighting and Ground-types as major offensive Pokemon, but in having the (unique) typing of Steel and Dark, it resists the critical types of Psychic, Dragon, and Ice, whilst being very good against Psychic and my personal hated enemies, Ghost-types. So, overall- Design, 10/10 In-game, 8/10 Competitive- (Speculated) 7/10 Overall, 8.3/10 My favourite Steel Leader... Well, if Steven of Hoenn counts, then it's him. He's just so... Epic. But other than that, Byron is just a bit rugged and crude-looking. It may be ironic for a Steel-type user to say this, (I base my usage of Steel-types around the graceful and deadly Samurai, and combine them with Poison and Dark-types for a homage to Ninjas) but he's just so inelegant and crude. Jasmine's definitely the more preferable of the two. Sorry I was inactive last week, I was on work experience and had to stay with my technophobic grandparents ^^; |
looks like my review was beaten. XD;
anyway, for the topic.. FAVE ICEtype LEADER? ... yeah. i have to agree with what you said tho. Steven is just the absolute epicest STEELtype user. if not the epicest trainer, period. XD; as for the actual gym leaders.. honestly i don't like either one too much.. Jasmine is just.. or well, she seemed too shy and insecure i don't agree with that kind of thing for users of the STEELtype. but that's just me, i just don't like her much. somehow. whatever. tho i do like her looks. .... and well, Byron is too cliché. XD; |
Who is your favorite Steel type leader?
Jasmine. Me @ forgot about this :(. |
I'm gonna answer the last two topics. Giving up on the Review a steel type poke thing for now. :<
Which Steel type Pokemon look best in shiny? Durant. I think it has a very nice shiny but I don't know why. :< Who is your favorite Steel type leader? Yeah I'm counting Steven. He is my favorite champion and type specialist, so I'm going with him. :P I was kind of thinking about this for a while, so... Do you think Steel should be super effective on Dragon types? People slay Dragons with Swords. Swords is forged with steel or w/e. Also, knights wear steel armor. You know where I'm going with this right? xD |
Do you think Steel should be super effective on Dragon types?
Yes. Then they would not be broken as hell. |
I'd like to join.
Partners: Orange the Metagross and Dialga I have an imaginary Metagross friend named Orange who follows me around and helps with my math homework~ :P Review for Bisharp: It's okay. I honestly think it's kind of creepy, but that's just my messed up opinion. I haven't used it in battle though, but from its appearance it looks like its Attack would be good. The Fighting type weakness should be watched out for, though. Who is your favorite Steel type leader? Steven. He's AWESOME. Do I need to elaborate? Plus he's handsome ^_^ As for a Gym leader, I'd say Byron. True, he's cliche, but Jasmine's too insecure and 'fragile' for the Steel type. |
I wish to join up in this group. For partners, I want a shiny Metagross named Calybias and a Ferrothorn named Hera.
Top Five Steel Pokemon: 1) Ferrothorn 2) Metagross 3) Escavalier (FORGET YOU SCIZOR!) 4) Durant 5) Aggron Anyways, onwards to the discussion at hand. Bisharp For once, look out Scizor. You just might have competition when it comes to coolest Steel-type Pokemon ever. Bisharp design emphasizes something that you should be scared to touch, since it is so sharp. Maybe it is that glint in its eyes that causes you to not go near him... Either be the case, this is a Pokemon that should be feared. With its key resistances to Dragon- and Ghost-type Pokemon, I expect Bisharp to have an effective impact on the competitive aspect of Pokemon. Sure, Fighting- types might have a field day with him, but if you know how to set up a Swords Dance and use Sucker Punch, Iron Head, or Brick Break, you shouldn't have much problems. Let's not forget this Pokemon may also be the answer to a certain Pokemon known as Reuniclus. Overall, I expect Bisharp to be the next Scizor. Great design, good typing, decent movepool, I deem him worthy of anyone looking for a Ghost- or Psychic-type counter. While he is not in my top five favorite Steel-types, he is in the top ten, and thus I am proud to give Bisharp a 4/5. Who is your favorite Steel type leader? Steven. 'Nuff said. Forget Jasmine and Byron. Do you think Steel should be super effective on Dragon types? Hmm... I don't think so. I do agree that Dragons shouldn't be able to damage Steel-types too much, but I disagree on being super-effective on Dragons. A sword might not be able to kill ALL dragons afterall. |
i´d like to join this group cause i love Steel type Pokemon.
my top 5 is 1.Excadrill (my best Steel-Pokemon) 2.Bisharp (he looks just badass) 3.Registeel (favorite Steel-Legend) 4.Aggron (pure badass) 5.Escavalier (why not??) |
Welcome to all of you! :] I'll add you all to the member list eventually.
Seems like a lot of people are fans of Steven. I'm not surprised, though, he is the Hoenn champion after all. I never really knew Bisharp was this popular. I'm really glad, however, since I love it so much. :> I'm gonna think of something to make this club active, but I know it'll take me a while. So how about a simple topic for now? Your favorite Steel type move? Gyro Ball for me, definitely. Seeing as speed is very important to Pokemon Gyro Ball is extremely deadly, especially if used by slow steel types like Forretress, Ferroseed and Bronzong. It alos really love how it looks in the anime. |
Flash Cannon, for me. It's a fairly powerful move, no negative side effects, etc. Plus, it looks really cool, and Dialga can learn it (yes, it always has to be related to Dialga).
|
my favourite would be Doom Desire because it´s Jirachi´s signatue move and it looks great
|
Your favorite Steel type move?
Bullet Punch. It kills a ton of stuff, has a cool name, and doesn't kill Gliscor, allowing me to wall Scizor. B) |
Your favorite Steel type move?
Bullet Punch IS awesome, but I have to say Meteor Mash. I mean come one! Te signature move of Metagross is AWESOME! |
ohai tharz. it's been some time, hasn't it.
anyway, for the topiccccc FAVE STEELMOVE? um.. that's a hard one. i think i'll go with IronTail, lol. i used to never use STEELtype pokemon in my team at all, and even now i think it's useful. for some reason i never had problems with the low Accuracy either.. that and i'm loving IronTail on my re-playthrough of Pokemon Colosseum XD; wellthen, that'll do :3 |
