Well, what my friend and I do sometimes is settle to use a distint amount of Ubers. Like we'll do a Standard OU battle, but he'll include Lugia and I'll include Soul Dew Latios.

I have just fighten Nubers since I started, That is why ask for anyone to add me and we can have a nice chit chat and match, but those guys ...


arghhh, 4 rayquazzaz!!( if spelling is wrong I'm pretty sorry.)

..Non-EV trained ubers are just as deadly. Where the hell will those misused EVs go to? Somewhere. A somewhat EV trained Palkia in def survived my Salamence's dragon claw =_=

Well, it is part steel, so it would just be normal effective. Not that surprising :p

A thread which bashes uber abusers? I'm in!

So is the current situation of PBR random battles that bad? I remember how it was when it came out in Japan, and I'm pretty sure things are worse now.


[edit] Reason for uber hate: People who think they are good for using a full uber team. Even more so if the said person claims I've cheated because a normal team defeated his.

Crimson Arcanine September 24th, 2007 10:25 PM

This is one thing that stops me getting back into competitive battling. Me, I train what I like and I don't use most legendaries and most ubers. I prefer winning with my ninetales or my hitmonchan anyday then with Salamence, Gachomp or Swampert or even most of the legendaries. Its just so much more rewarding.

In short...I use pokemon I like the look of, and train them to be as strong as I can get them legally. To me thats what Pokemon is all about. Not about wiping the floor with ubers, not using untrained or trained legendary teams (especially those which are also uber) or hacked pokemon. Using what you like the best and having fun while using them.

Although, I am not against Ubers, most of my battling experience comes from battling people casually and of course occasionly teaching those who thought thier "team" was undefeatable just how wrong they were (But that was in the Color and Metal Gens)

Please note that these are my opinions, I'll battle anyone as long as thier pokemon are legit.

Chibi Pika September 28th, 2007 12:03 PM

^ But you see, that's the same reason why anyone would use ANY Pokemon. Yes, you get the ten year olds with all ubers just for the sake of ubers, but what if your favorite Pokemon just happen to be ubers. I adore Lugia in all it's broken-ness I've never actually trained one competitively though.

I love my Staraptor and Charizard just as much as I love my Tyranitar and Latios. I plan on having a Garchomp on my second Diamond team, and a Salamence on my Topaz/Opal team, simply because I've never used then before and they intrigue me.

Palkia is water/dragon. It was super-effective.

I know exactly what you mean. Mewtwo is one of my favorites, but using him is a blasphemey against competitive play. I'm trying to make one with absolutely terrible IVs, nature, and EVs, just so I can use him. Silly idea, yes, but maybe it won't be hated so much...

Chibi Pika September 28th, 2007 12:48 PM

^ Personally, I think the best way to handle it is as I've said before. Do a technical "uber battle," but since all lower tiers are allowed, just settle with the opponent to only one or two ubers. Becasue I like using them, but I'd be hard pressed to come up with an entire team of 'em. *_*

Lmao, now I'm tempted to use my untrained Rash Groudon. xDDDD

Seriously, I'm actually considering it. I think I'm gonna make a Physical Mewtwo. His Attack stat is nothing to brag about, even in the OU arena, nor are any of his defenses. His speed/HP are arguable, but if I give them no EVs and a negative speed nature, it might just work...

Our not-so-Ubers will have to face off sometime!

Anti September 29th, 2007 10:53 AM

MY friend thought he was high and mighty with his level 100 non-EVed rayquaza...MY kingdra took out all 6 of his pokemon...including the dang uber...actually, there was also gruberdon, kyuber, and the latubers, both of which had soul dew...I lol at his team. I hate the uber users...lol

Those nicknames are epic fail.

sims796 September 30th, 2007 8:52 AM

Those nicknames were perfect and you know it :laugh:

Always and Never September 30th, 2007 11:00 AM

How about their names are "Groudon" "Kyogre" and "[email protected]"

I like those better.

sims796 September 30th, 2007 11:12 AM

You love disagreeing, huh? Well, there goes the joke...

We know those are their names, it was just a joke.

Always and Never September 30th, 2007 11:55 AM

Life isn't fun without disagreeing :P

But seriously, those weren't really good nicknames. I'm sure there are better ones detailing the same thing.

MasterWGS September 30th, 2007 12:03 PM

I'll admit it. I liked Kyuber... Mostly because I pronounce it like Kyuubi...

DanKiba8 September 30th, 2007 1:01 PM

dude i agree that is rele annoying!!!!

People that use Ubers are noobs because they cant train their own pokemon. Using ubers is fine until you can train properly and use EVs, etc, it is then time to have some common decency and stop using them.

Ironically, "common decency" doesn't apply to most people who use ubers, as they believe winning by any means = JUSTICE OLOLOLOL.

I recently had a 3v3 lvl100 match with an elementary year student (the little bother of a friend), who believed his cheated shiny Mewtwo x 3 made him a good player. I got through his whole team with a choice scarfed Skuntank (the "ace" of my poison only team.) He accused me of cheating (see the irony here?), because Skuntanks are "bad Pokemon, and shouldn't be able to kill Mewtwo."

Afterwards I played another 3v3 against another elementary year student. She beat me with her Absol, who magic coated my Crobat's hypnosis, sword danced while I switched to Weezing, then baton passed to a CB Garchomp, where my will-o-wisp missed. Outrage -> Outrage -> Outrage and got OHKO'd pretty much.
But I didn't mind. She had good manners unlike my friend's bother.

Anti October 1st, 2007 10:03 AM

Hey, my nicknames...I didn't even come up with kyuber...epic fail. I'm adding that to my sig. What a great term. "Epic fail." I love it! What abouyt mewber...okay, that was not good...

As for people using ubers, I actually like it when n00bs think they're all high and mighty and I 6-0 'em...I've been called a hacker several times, which makes me lol. If you're gonna use ubers, at least use 'em right...rayquaza with fly was my all-time fav...it was against my rhydon XD

Shem October 1st, 2007 4:35 PM

i totaly agree that ubers are generally used by weak people, but i have t***arties, uber and non, i generall use the uber though, especilly on pbr colleseum mode because it makes battles easier, its also kinda fun to use ubers.
