Oh yeah, Skarmory, duh. *Smacks myself in the head*

Ichida July 5th, 2007 1:37 PM

I pick my teams based on "three physical-oriented Pokemon, three special." Usually sweepers. :P

Pogiforce-14 July 6th, 2007 5:03 AM

I have been told the new pokemon from DP have made the meta primarily sweeper based. stalling out doesn't work so well anymore.

What, are you saying I suck at Pokemonz?

I'll have you know it was a pretty close battle.

Avolition July 8th, 2007 10:33 AM

Dude, I'm not saying you're bad, I'm saying Ichida's good. Why do you always have to overreact to everything everyone says?

paratroopa July 8th, 2007 2:07 PM

The most commonly abused uber I see is Giratina. If you see one, you've instantly won because these people don't know what they're doing to put it simply.

Avolition July 8th, 2007 2:15 PM

Esoecially if the Giratina is just caught and has no new moves. Staraptor or any Normal/Flying type will own it.

paratroopa July 8th, 2007 2:24 PM

Yeah, too many times have people using Giratinas tried to use Shadow Force on my Tyranitar. Makes me pity these people.

Avolition July 8th, 2007 2:27 PM

What about people trying to use Thunderbolt on Swampert? That's worse. I pity the fool. Sorry, had to say that.

paratroopa July 8th, 2007 2:31 PM

Another good one is Earthquake on Charizard. Come on, aren't the wings a give away?

Avolition July 8th, 2007 2:39 PM

Yeah, xD. But it happened to me more with Flygon. Noobs love to use Earthquake on Flygon, and go, "But I thought it wasn't a flying type." xD

paratroopa July 8th, 2007 2:44 PM

So satisfying imagining people's smug look being wiped off their face when you kill their ubers using skill as apposed to stupidity.

Avolition July 8th, 2007 2:45 PM

xD I beat an uber team once with an underused team. I lol'd when that happened.

paratroopa July 8th, 2007 2:48 PM

My team isn't particularly overused, as far as I've seen but its a good team nonetheless.

Ichida July 8th, 2007 3:04 PM

The funniest thing of all is when you see said Giratina users try to use Shadow Force, then you switch in something Normal-element and watch them have wasted two turns before you kill the damn dragon. I love to just switch into Porygon-Z and then Ice Beam the Giratina to death.

paratroopa July 8th, 2007 3:10 PM

And you're the guy that help me mould the majority of my team lol.

Another one that is overused is Mewtwo.

Laa July 8th, 2007 8:24 PM

I have no idea if either of my teams is overused...nor do I really care :D

What is so special about giritana?

Ichida July 8th, 2007 8:41 PM

Because the idea of a ghostly dragon excites people, and Shadow Force can't be blocked by Protect or Detect. It can however be walled by Normal types, which is bloody hilarious to pull off. :P

But seriously, its stats are pretty defensive for a legendary...

Lame...that's all I have to say...

~Mithos~ July 9th, 2007 3:36 AM

I have a good team except against most fire types or mewtwo

I got: weavile, sceptile, lucario, froslass, luxray, typhlosion

focusblast/most fire attacks will take out my team easily =/

so I got weavile surf, sceptile eartquake (takes out its team partner though =/), lucario nothing, froslass water pulse

(anyone know how to get weavile ice punch? it level 100 EV trained I don't wanna train it again =[ )

IIRC..

Breed a male Hitmonchan that knows Ice Punch with a female Buneary/Lopunny. Then the Buneary eggs will have Ice Punch. Then breed a male Buneary with a female Sneasel.

Ichida July 9th, 2007 11:38 AM

Get rid of Weavile's Surf and Sceptile's Earthquake. Weavile is a physical sweeper and Sceptile is a special sweeper. Those moves won't do any decent damage.

Avolition July 9th, 2007 11:45 AM

Wow. Just wow. Weavile learns Surf? That makes all of no sense.

~Mithos~ July 9th, 2007 1:49 PM

weavile's surf never does anything

what should I replace surf and earthquake with (I was trying to counter fire types)

also I think i'm just going to completely retrain the team for better IV's and give them to my little brother...

EDIT: EV's

Ichida July 9th, 2007 2:02 PM

Weavile: Ice Punch, Night Slash, Aerial Ace, Brick Break

Sceptile: Energy Ball, Dragon Pulse, Focus Blast, Synthesis.
