Answer the current topic! Poison types are my favourite of all. Their tricky style mixed with a diverse move pool and interesting stat combinations makes any with Poison types battle fun! Plus most of my favourite Pokemon just so happen to be Poison type. :)

Which Poison type move can no Generation V Pokémon learn in any way?

Olli January 19th, 2012 11:36 AM

You finally made your second club, huh? Nice CSS btw.

Name: Olli97/Olli
Partner Pokémon: Rex the Nidoking
Reason for joining: My feelings on Poison types are actually kind of mixed tbh. While I enjoy having a Poison type on my team as they are good allies and very helpful as they often have a chance of poisoning the foe, whether it's an ability or a move, but I hate fighting them for the exact same reason. I can only remember a few times where I haven't been poisoned while battling a Poison type Pokémon.
But as much as I hate them as enemies, it could never overshine my love for the typing and for the Nidoran family. I seriously love them (NOT WHEN BATTLING THEM THOUGH!) n_n

Hi, welcome to both of you! Great to see some Poison type lovers! Its great hearing your reasons, I couldn't agree more - especially with their status condition capabilities. Let's start things off with a topic. ^^

New topic: 'Which is your favourite Poison type Pokemon and why?'

Mine's a cross between Muk and Amoonguss, but I'll reveal why later!

TY January 19th, 2012 12:08 PM

I'd like to join...

Name: ShadowExcadrill
Partner: 007 the Seviper
Reason for joining: Poison types are always in every team of mine, cause their attacks may caue poison, which always hurts a lot...

miltankRancher January 19th, 2012 4:56 PM

MY MOST FAVORITE TYPE HAS APPEARED!

Name: miltankRancher
Partner Pokemon: Shade the Crobat
Reason for Joining: Poison is my most favorite type, since it has a nice diversity. Also, they have the most interesting and gimmicky Pokemon to use.

On the QUIZ:

Grimer has a light green hue.

On topic:

My favorite Poison type Pokemon is Crobat, my all time favorite Pokemon. I first used him during my Gold run, and i really don't know why I liked him the most. It just stuck on me.

AquaFin January 19th, 2012 5:11 PM

Hey you made another club nice job, I love Poison types.Glad to be one of your first 10 members of this club :D
Name : AquaFin
Partner Pokemon : Spooky the Gengar
Reason for Joining : Poison is also a type I love using, they hit Psychic and Grass HARD in the face. They also can have Poison sideffect with most of their moves.
What is your favourite Poison Pokemon and why? : Well I love Croagunk because in the anime it Poison Jabs Brock when he is in love with Nurse Joy or another woman and also I like Grimer because its an adorable blob smiling at me xD

Squirrel January 19th, 2012 5:51 PM

Hi, welcome to all new members! :) MilktankRancher was right on the quiz, shiny Grimer certainly is green! And I'm loving all the praising of Crobat, it truly is a great Pokemon! I never got round to watching that series of the anime, but it sounds a lot like Brock's Croagunk whom I utterly adore! <3 As for my favourite Poison type, it's a mixture between Grimer, Muk and Amoonguss. Grimer is my favourite based on the Pokemon itself, but once you get into battle Muk and Amoonguss really shine! With some incredibly unique strategies, these Pokemon really help define Poison types for me. They're an absolute pleasure to use and always leave your enemies guessing; this signifies a great Pokemon in my books!

A new trivia question is up!: How many Poison Pokemon evolve via an evolutionary stone?

AquaFin January 19th, 2012 6:25 PM

I think its 5 Pokemon : Nidorina --> Nidoqueen( Moon Stone?) Nidorino--> Nidoking ( Moon Stone?) Gloom--> Vileplume( Leaf stone ), Roselia --> Roserade ( Shiny stone)
Weepinbell --> Victreebell (Leaf stone ) And I'm not sure if you would count this one Gloom into Bellosom by Sun stone.

miltankRancher January 19th, 2012 11:22 PM

I am annoying my cousins whenever we do our annual Pokemon battles. I always lead off with Minimize Muk. LOL. They can't do anything about it.

as with the trivia questions, aquafin got it right. 5 pokemon evolve using stones.

Partner Pokemon: spice the haunter
Reason for Joining: i started to love poison types all thanks to koga. in the pokemon adventures manga, he fought by the side of the protagonists and even made his golbat use leech life on his arm ouo koga <3333333

Which is your favourite Poison type Pokemon and why?
my favourite poison type is actually haunter because i think its cute <3 and it plays a major role in my party. but it cannot learn poison type moves owo my second favourite would be ivysaur ouo or rather the bulbasaur evolution line :3 i have a special bond with my ivysaur :D

miltankRancher January 20th, 2012 2:04 AM

welcome ikaroschase! nice to see a good clubber here! :)

through level-up, yes. Haunter cannot learn any poison type moves, but Sludge Bomb, Venoshock, Toxic and Poison Jab is compatible with him. :) I also believe you can somehow breed Smog onto him, IIRC.

Reason for Joining: I really do admire the poison type as it truly has a unique style of play, like you'll need to fight in ways other than pummeling with raw power. Plus, there is nothing more beautiful than a confuse/poison/sleep combination while draining and chipping the enemies health away...

hi there avishka!

we can all agree that poison is a really tricky way to play with. You need strategy and tactics to bring down an opponent.

Let's have a new topic and trivia...

New topic: 'Which is your favourite of the mono-poison type 'blob' families?'

Basically this includes Grimer/Muk, Gulpin/Swalot and Trubbish/Garbodor ^^ Personally my favourites and Grimer & Muk because Grimer is such an awesome Pokemon in almost every way, and then Muk makes up for Grimer's weaknesses by being kick-ass good in battle! Garbodor is also quite a strong contender for me, but its stats and moves just aren't good enough. D:

miltankRancher January 20th, 2012 5:49 AM

garbodor does not quite make the cut for me. I hate the design, personally. LOL.

gotta go with Muk. he always gives me a nice challenge everytime I went up against him.

Also, please welcome MiltankRancher as the new co-owner! ^^

Definately gulpin or swalot, simply because of their personalties. Muk too is yes great in battle, since Koga's in HG gave me some trouble, even my Level 70 typhlosion's eruption couldn't get rid of it one turn. :3 Aaand, its ability to use minimise was soo annoying yet quite sneaky.

This I agree with! What makes you think this though? ^^ What do you like about them as opposed to say, Trubbish & Garbodor?

New topic: 'Which Poison Pokemon do you find cutest?'

For me it's Foongus! <3

Now, I would love to be a little original here and choose something like Garbodor, but I honestly don't like it one single bit. Imo the design shows that Gamefreak is running out of ideas, because a Pokémon based on trash isn't exactly the greatest idea they've had up till now.

I'm more neutral towards Gulpin and Swalot, as I find their design ok. It's not truly horrific like some other Pokémon, but it's not super good either, but I never really got to know them while playing the games, so I don't really have any opinions on them, and I don't know how good they actually are in battle. I find their concept pretty original though, so that's one of the probs they get from me.

Moving on to my actual favourites of the bunch, and the reason why I'm NOT being original, is Grimer and Muk. I've already pretty much made it clear in several of my previous posts, that I am indeed a lover of the original 151, and that is also one of the main reasons that I like Grimer and Muk. The reason that I like them is basically just, that they're the ones I've know for the longest time and the ones that I know the most about. Their desgins were pretty unique back in the days, though they're not really anything special when compared to all the other new Pokémon, but I still love them just as much.

curiousnathan January 20th, 2012 5:54 PM

I find trubbish to be a cutie. I love it's little teethy expression, although cute is not somethig I could say about garbador. :x

miltankRancher January 20th, 2012 6:54 PM

Nicely said Olli. I would have to agree with you that Garbodor's concept is not truly the best idea EVER.

On topic:

I have quite a soft spot for Budew's design actually. It looks like asian because of its eyes, and that smile is so cute.

Avishka January 21st, 2012 12:36 AM

Which Poison Pokemon do you find cutest?
Foongus,budew and Venonat

miltankRancher January 21st, 2012 2:54 AM

i knew it. Budew is too cute. He will be the winner. :)

venonat creeps me out, honestly. Especially with his weird eyes and such.

curiousnathan January 21st, 2012 3:18 AM

Nooo; Venonat is a cutie, especially when it evolves. It can pretty annoying especially with it's status moves + double team + psychic.

Foongus is indeed cute no question about that, but Venonat is cuter imo. I've always thought that Venonat was cute, ever since I first saw it back in the original games. I guess part of the reason is its round, fluffy body, but the eyes play the biggest role. It may not have any pupils, but I still find them extremely cute. But I'm just confused with its eyes, because even though they look a bit sad, I just can't really see it as a sad Pokémon :|

Venomoth is annoying, yeah. But it still creeps me out. Its a violet bug. And it has weird wings, and such.

And venonat's stare looks like it could suck out your soul.

Name: d4rka8isz
Partner Pokemon: Roserade
Reason for joining: Poison type Pokemon intrigue me deeply. My favorite aspect of them is how they can poison opponents with almost any move. I may not find them as useful as say the water type in battles, but they still are one of my favorite types.

I think bulbasaur is the cutest.

Too cute!

miltankRancher January 21st, 2012 3:40 AM

hi there d4rka8isz! welcome to the club!

I may not quite agree with you in saying that Poison type is not as useful as water types. each type has their won niche to fill in, and it is like saying that a hammer is not as useful as a wrench. Water types are good at what they do, mostly sweeping and such, but poison types, who specializes in status ailments, confusions, and such, and they do well in it. :)

I will be posting up a new topic tomorrow. I will let these topic slide down first. Feel free to defend. :)

as for the quiz, Scolipede wins with a 200 kg weight.

a userbar! it is jerky so sorry. couldn't fix it anymore. and i could not find appropriate gen V pics, so sorry. Anyway, FYI, this is a hundred frames with each frame at 500 ms. :)

On topic: I think cradily should be poison type instead of rock type. He looks like he will ooze out poison one way or the other.

Yeeah, but I think its rock typing is approproiate since it came from a fossil..

d4rka8isz January 21st, 2012 6:20 PM

Gligar and Gliscor definitely should be poison types. They're scorpions after all.

ikaroschase January 21st, 2012 6:42 PM

^ i totally agree with d4rka8isz \(OuO)/
plus, gligar's purple which is kind of stereotypical for a poison type.

Piggying off these two.

Yeah, I agree; never really though about that though good observations.

I always though carnivine should be poision, dunno, since it does live in swamps which can contain poison if polluted.

/now I'm getting too technical. =p

AquaFin January 21st, 2012 7:07 PM

I've always had a feeling that Beedrill should of been poison because its basically injecting poison in through its stinger causing overwhelming pain.

I forgot about the gli-family! I agree with your arguments. LOL.

and thanks for using the userbar I made. :)

Squirrel January 22nd, 2012 5:55 AM

Hmm, Gligar and Gliscor is an interesting one... But I personally like their typing as it is ^^ I think the Flying/Ground typing defines it more than a Flying/Poison or Ground/Poison typing would. :3 Plus it doesn't learn many Poison moves from memory? I think Sandshrew could do with a Poison typing, especially considering some of its staple moves include Poison Jab :3 New topic!

New topic: 'Which Poison type do you find scariest?'

I think Drapion!


miltankRancher January 22nd, 2012 6:00 AM

I agree with you Alex. :) Drapion looks pretty scary from my point of view, especially with its coloring and its fangs and such. Plus, it is so big.

D:

Being a little more seroius, I have to agree with you on Drapion. Drapion, also based on a scorpion, which is an animal I most definitely don't like, is a Pokémon just scary in itself. Its face is made rather angry, and its pose seems rather threatening, which only adds to its scaryness. Not to mention all the creepy fanart around the internet.

Another Pokémon that lies relatively close to Drapion in a matter of being scary is Victreebel. It pretty much looks like a Pokémon sent from the depths of hell, when you base it off of its facial expression lol.

miltankRancher January 22nd, 2012 6:18 AM

i see where you are going here, olli.

http://www.pokestadium.com/pokemon/sprites/handheld/blackwhite/shiny/71.png

that shiny sprite is too scary if you ask me. Like he had finished some dastardly business of some sort.

and Victreebel is based off a real-life devil.

The VIP Challenge

Do you want to be a VIP? Do you have the guts to go head-to-head with PC's most dedicated userbase? Do you look good in a swimsuit?

If the answer to any of these questions was 'yes' then you're in the right place - it's time for The VIP Challenge! Every few weeks we'll be throwing another challenge at you for you all to compete in and we'll start to find out who really are the VIPs of PC. The challenges will cover topics new and old, test skills you never knew you had, and will hopefully provide a bit of bonding too, so play some games with your fellow members and the prizes may be in your grasp.


¤ Rules ¤
A real VIP goes about life with style.
1. Follow all of PC's rules.
2. Don't spam, troll or harass.
3. Don't make fun of people for their entries; this is all for fun!


¤ Current Competition! ¤
Post your entries in the thread!
PC is running low on funding and needs an exciting new way to draw in potential detonators. You're in charge of PC for the day and you're allowed to create one new section for people to post in, but it has to be a good one or you'll be laughed out of the staff team for good. Your job is to think of a new section for PC to use, decide who will have access to it, and give a short description of the threads you'd expect to find there.


You'll need to include a name for your section, the section's focus and a brief description of how the section will function in order to be taken seriously - but keep in mind you'll also have to explain your choices. The PC crowd are a tough one to please and making the wrong decision here could bust the forum, so to have your idea put into action you'll have to be very persuasive and demonstrate why PC needs your new section and why the members will love it.

Are you up to the challenge? Then show us what you're made of.


¤ Entry Form Example ¤
Post your entry in this thread to take part; a more creative submission will earn points!
Code:

Username:
Section Title:
Section Focus:
Description & Reasoning:


¤ Prizes! ¤
Let's make this worth your while...
It wouldn't be a contest if there wasn't a prize, so this week the winner will receive a super sexy emblem and a small VIP donation straight from my pocket to give to whomever they choose. Also anyone who takes part will receive an emblem too, so you've got nothing to lose!



Good luck!]

Seems Drapion is pretty scary! o.o One Pokemon I think was always suppose to be scary is the Golbat line... But who could really find this scary?

Okay, I admit that picture was a little biased, but even looking at an accurate picture...

http://www.freewebs.com/edjsitnek/golbat.jpg

I still can't see anything scary about it! The huge gawping mouth just ruins it for me. All these evil organisations need more Pokemon, Golbat isn't scary enough! Does anyone find this Pokemon scary?

I'm now terrified too! :D Even so, is this scarier than Drapion? I'm not so sure, that thing is a monster!

AquaFin January 22nd, 2012 2:29 PM

I think Victreebell is the scariest since its a demonish flower with its mouth wide open with fangs that are ready for dinner--- a trainer.

Well... It's terrifyingly adorable? xD

Snivy063 January 23rd, 2012 3:53 AM

Name: Snivy063
Partner Pokemon: Roselia
Reason for Joining: I actually didn't like Poison types at first, because they are really annoying in battles most especially at times when you don't have any potion left and your Pokemon is poisoned. But I came to love them after I caught myself one which was a Grimer and fell in love with it! And so, I tried catching other poison types too. They're surely a lot of fun. My favorite poison type is Roselia as to which I chose it as my partner. :)

Squirrel January 23rd, 2012 3:59 AM

Hi Teezee, welcome to the club! Great to have you here. ^^ I couldn't have recommended a better Poison Pokemon to start with, Grimer is the best in my mind! And Roselia is utterly lovely and a huge pleasure to use; although I can't help but prefer Roserade ^^

New topic: 'If you could transform into a Poison type Pokemon, which would you choose?'

curiousnathan January 23rd, 2012 4:03 AM

Definately not swalot xD;

Probably Gengar, because not only is it an extremely strong pokemon when trainer and given the right moves but I love it's ability to move through things. x)

miltankRancher January 23rd, 2012 4:19 AM

hi there teezee! :)

anyway, on topic. There are many poison types I would love to transform too, barring Garbodor. I love to transform to Nidoking for sheer awesomeness. To crobat for the power of stealth and speed and flight. For Gengar for a ghsotly experience. To Scolipede for sheer weight.

But srsly, i would go with Crobat.

Snivy063 January 23rd, 2012 4:26 AM

I would love to transform into a Bellsprout, haha

It's so clumsy and weird which makes it really soft and cute, just adorable. N'aaaw <3

miltankRancher January 23rd, 2012 4:39 AM

remember jeanette fisher's bellsprout from first gen? I would not call that clumsy, but boy, it was strong! It managed to defeat Pikachu!

Avishka January 23rd, 2012 6:07 AM

Which Poison type do you find scariest?'
Drapion,Arbok and Gengar

Hmm, this is indeed a hard choice. There are so many Pokémon that I would like to become if I actually had the ability to turn into one, even with the few Poison types there are it's still a hard choice.

In the end I think I'd have to go with Grimer/Muk. The handiness of having a liquified body is something I'd like to experience, where it would make it possible to fit through narrow spaces and stuff, and it would just be generally awesome. And when it comes to battles, neither of them are exactly weak, which is a great bonus if you'd have to end up battling :p

miltankRancher January 23rd, 2012 7:22 AM

I think that's awesome, but flight is speed is a better ability. You make pranks, then you fly as hell breaks loose.

Squirrel January 25th, 2012 3:05 AM

Oo, great choices all around! I'm not sure I'd want to be Grimer/Muk though, or even Bellsprout. Despite all being some of my favourites, they have a huge problem with mobility! They can't even jump D: I think I'd want to be a Scollipede. Think of the sheer power and stature you'd have! Also if you wanted to get around quick, just use Steam Roller :D

New topic: 'Which Poison type move is your favourite and why?'

For me, it's a cross between four moves. Poison Jab, Sludge Bomb, Toxic and Acid Spray. Poison Jab and Sludge Bomb are both very powerful moves often causing great STAB damage and even with a chance to cause poisoning; these seem good in my books! Then there's toxic. An utterly unique move supplying so many useful strategies and coming in useful in almost every situation. It's a shame it doesn't work against Steel types! Then the other move, Acid Spray, is possible the most useful of all. With only 30 base power it isn't exactly a great damaging move, but it sure has a useful secondary effect! Always lowering the foe's special defense by two whole stages whilst also causing damage is invaluable. It means you can really cause some devastation, even with some pretty weak attacks!

miltankRancher January 25th, 2012 3:30 AM

On topic:


I think mine would be a triple tie between Sludge Bomb, Cross Poison, and Toxic Spikes.

Sludge Bomb, because it's animation on Gen II is just so good. :)

Cross Poison because Crobat for the win.

Toxic Spikes because I love them entry hazards.

Hmm, this is hard to say. Back in the first games I really hated Poison type moves and I never had any Poison type Pokémon, so I never really got used to them. I got some Poison type Pokémon in later games though and if I'd have to choose between their moves, it'd probably be either Sludge or Toxic. I know that Sludge in itself is a really strong move and can be a real pain in the butt with its possible effect of poisoning ones Pokémon, so naturally it's a great move to have yourself. Toxic instantly poisons the foe and its damage keeps increasing during every turn it's in effect, so it's great to use against stronger opponents that could take some time to beat, though it's really annoying to be fighting against, naturally. A last move would probably be Poison Jab, though. I don't know very much about the move itself, since I first learned about it while playing PO. It was perfect with my Ursaring, and often damaged my opponents a lot, but I don't really know anything about the move itself. >_<

Poison Jab i actually a really good move on Ursaring (who have a very limited movepool IIRC) I used Poison Jab once on Infernape, and boy, it felt redundant.

Hehe! Poison Jab is also an amazing move for Sandshrew to use (just throwing it out there ;D). It's one of the strongest it gets and after a few attack boosts it really does some good damage! Plus the chance for poisoning is never looked down on ;D

miltankRancher January 27th, 2012 7:15 AM

Poison is good! The chance of slowly damaging your opponent is very good! But there are by far, more powerful poison type moves out there than PJ.

That's true! Wasn't there a Poison version of Fire Blast introduced in Gen V for Trubbish/Garbodor? Something like Gunk Shot or Gunk Blast? :s If so, that could be a great move to try out using!

miltankRancher January 27th, 2012 5:07 PM

Hmm.. a Fire Blast poison variant? Maybe you meant a Flamethrower variant. Sludge wave is a pretty cool move, with base power of 90 and almost perfect accuracy (at 100). Also, it could damage all Pokemon in range, which is pretty awesome because it could deal damage to two pokemon in one-hit. Sludge Wave is a better Sludge Bomb. :) pretty neat.

arbok January 28th, 2012 11:38 AM

can I also join? If so I'd like an arbok but as pokemon lady has got one I'd be fine with ekans if need be.
my reason for joining is that I love most poison types. My goal on fire red was beat the game by being the ultimate poison type trainer. Which I did.
Current question question is eight.
My favourate 'blob' family is grimer-muk. Mainly for nostalger but muk has helped me out a few times.

That picture of Garbodor makes me like it more now :)

I think that he was talking about the move Gunk Shot, which I think was introduced in generation 5. I don't actually know that much about the move, other than it's a very strong move and that I mistakenly said "Poison Jab" in my previous post, when I actually meant Gunk Shot. xP

Of course! Two members can have the same partner Pokemon, so I'll sign you up with Arbok instead ^^ I'm glad about your love of the 'blob' Pokemon families! ^^

New topic: 'Discuss Gulpin & Swalot!

Personally, I love these Pokemon! But I've always been curious as to their actual anatomy... They have some great moves and good abilities, but their stats aren't all that great. They look great to me as well, but Swalot's 'mustache' is... Well, just what is that?

arbok January 28th, 2012 12:35 PM

I've never owned Gulpin/Swalot so I'm unsure of a lot of their skills. In fact, the most I remember of Gulpin is using him to swallow foes in Super Smash bros: brawl along with his role in mystery dungeon.
Design-wise, like most poison types, I like it. I always thought it was one of the best evolutions because it looked a lot like it's pre-evolved form but it was clearly much stronger. Compare it to ones like Jigglypuff who doesn't look much tougher if any when it evolves or Magikarp who hardly looks like its next form at all.

d4rka8isz January 28th, 2012 2:20 PM

The green blob and the purple blob. I like them. Gulpin and Swalot are pretty amazing in their own way. One time, I lost three Pokemon to one Swalot in Emerald, but I was in third grade. I think that Game Freak should put Swalot in a gym leader's party. Mainly just because I think it's funny, but Swalot is a strong Pokemon.

Swalot is a neat pokemon (though Muk could achieve more.) I have never had any experience with swalot, except that I always skip Swalot whenever I see a rental Swalot in the Battle Arena. Never tried using it though.

curiousnathan January 29th, 2012 3:25 AM

http://www.pokestadium.com/pokemon/sprites/handheld/blackwhite/animated/316.gif

When I first look at Gulpin - or when most people think of gulpin - we think derp. I mean it doesn't appear to be a bright pokemon, and nor all that useful and really, the bottomline is most of the time it isn't. But with the right moves it can be quite the formiddable opponent early in games and especially when evolved.

To be honest I don't like Swalot as much as Gulpin simply because Gulpin was a little cuttie, now Swalot is a massive purple blob of flubba. Nevertheless, like I stated beforehand, with the right moed it can become a pretty good team members, especially with its moustache. (Probably noodles, pffft; designers! ;o;)

Hmm... Swalot have never given me any impression, except from its appearance. LOL. I doubt I would even like it when I use one. Probably going to make it in my mono-poison run in Emerald in the future.

Swalot has always been looked upon as a lesser version of Muk, as with its lower HP and Special Defense stats, along with certain key moves missing from its moveset, it is quite easy to make this mistake. However, it does have more balanced defenses and a greater supporting movepool with access to Encore, which makes it a much better mixed wall than the purple slime could ever hope to be. Although its lack of resistances make it hard to wall certain foes, the Purple Bag Pokemon is an underrated threat that can whip up a storm in UU.

Hmm... I guess its access to Encore is a neat thing, as it can trap a Pokemon 4-8 turns with a Swords Dance. Other than that, I see nothing special.

I think its quite useful if it can whip up a storm in UU.

miltankRancher January 29th, 2012 3:55 AM

If teams in UU are not prepared. Honestly, aside from the annoying encore, I think Swalot would not wreak much havoc on a team, unless it is really a suckish team.

Squirrel January 29th, 2012 6:13 AM

I disagree! After having used a Swalot in my current Hoenn play through, it's far stronger than expected. And with access to moves such as Toxic, Stockpile and Swallow, this Pokémon really is built to outlast. The only problem is facing non-steal types as the only good non-poison move I seem to be able to find is Body Slam... But I'm sure it can probably learn something to take them down! I think a Curse set could be interesting on it too... As for the moustache again; what?

miltankRancher January 29th, 2012 6:45 AM

Well, I just based all the things I said based on what i see, and from info I gather. I still have to change opinions once I can actually use a Swalot in battle.

Hmm.. Curse, eh? I think it is a good thing on swalot, considering as he has not that much of Speed to lose.

Partner Pokemon: Excalibur the Beedrill
Reason for Joining: Poison types are sexy and dangerous. Their appearance can seem to be cute but with one touch and the victim will be "toxicated."

Sexy and dangerous. i like the sound of that. Crobat is sexy and dangerous. :)

Squirrel January 30th, 2012 5:40 AM

I agree mR! Hmm, seems like we're done with the current topic, so let's make a new one!

New topic: 'If you could become a Poison type specialist for the Elite 4, what would your team be?'

miltankRancher January 30th, 2012 8:07 AM

I love Pokemon-team assembling.

Mine would probably be:

Crobat would be included because it is my favorite. Anybody having a problem with that?

Gengar because he is too cool. Plus, access to Shadow Ball to counter those psychic types is awesoME.

Tentacuel is a good lead with Toxic Spikes. :z

Roserade is just beautiful.

Drapion for sheer power. Earthquake and Crunch for the win.

Toxicroak for spot-filler. Cross Chop is a good phsical move, especially when coupled with a Swords Dance.

yup yup.

My team would be the same except I will exchange Roserade to Venomoth. Venomoth is a beauty (especially with a shiny form). It can substitute, quiver dance as much as it can then baton pass to Gengar to sweep. It can also be assisted with the item red card which causes the opponent to be switched out immediately after one turn attack. :)

arbok January 30th, 2012 9:06 AM

oh I think my team would probaly be the same one I used in fire red.

Crobat- speed freak
Venusaur- A strong status healer
Arbok- For being awesome
Gengar- The ghost to mess with minds
Tentacruel- For the water moves
Nidoking- Heavy physical attacks

But as it was from fire red its very first gen heavy. Drapion, Skuntank, Roserade and Scolipede from later gens all could easily feature on mine.

Squirrel January 31st, 2012 7:50 AM

Interesting teams... I love all the Tentacruels going on! Personally I'd base my team more on favourites as most of the E4 seem to do... I'll list them from which will be weakest at the top to the strongest at the bottom since some Pokemon are always higher levels on their teams :3

Scolipede
Roserade
Garbodor
Swalot
Muk
Amoonguss

Amoonguss would be the strongest, my shining star. With Muk, Swalot and Garbodor all being the same level as each other, slightly lower then Amoongus. Then Scolipede and Roserade would share an again slightly lower level, making the two weaker Pokemon of the team. ^^ Together, this team would kick butt! And probably die easily. :D

d4rka8isz January 31st, 2012 8:50 PM

As for me, my team would probably go like this.

Roserade
Roserade
Roserade
Roserade
Roserade
Roserade


Roserade
Garbodor
Drapion
Vileplume
Swalot
Crobat

I kinda really like Roserade, but for challenge's sake, I'm not going with only Roserades. Garbodor and Swalot are the funniest for me so I just put them on my team.

I LOl'd here, really. Good team guys.

d4rka8isz, having a team of purely Roserades would somehow put you into a tight spot. Especially when you deal with the Fire types, and Gliscor.

Squirrel February 1st, 2012 1:29 AM

Paha, a whole team of Roserades, why not! Some Elite 4 members repeat their teams :o In that case if i had to have a team of all the same Pokemon, they'd have to be Muk B) Or maybe Amoonguss... Hard choice. ;; I think Amoonguss. :D

miltankRancher February 1st, 2012 1:57 AM

Yes, they would repeat, but only once. LOL. not a whole team.

but if I am to have a whole team of only one pokemon, i would have crobat. Six crobats. All with return. And then bow down.
