I hate OU pokes
 
This is for me to try to find out the pokemon i should use for pokemon i feel are the most OU. I would like to start by saying that i really dont like OU pokemon. Most of the ones on my battle team are OU, but i think the advantages to having a few original choices are very rewarding. First, What is the best pokemon to fight off the dreaded Blissey/Skarmory duo. I have heard that Dusknoir is a good choice, and also Infernape, but what is the best choice?

c_dog July 30th, 2007 6:44 PM

Best? Well, Magnezone obviously takes down skarm like no other. Why do you use OU pokemon if you hate them? Doesn't make much sense.

Infernape is a good one too. Nasty plot Flamethrower/grass knot gives skarms and the rest of the team problems but blissey can't switch in due to infernape having close combat.

I imagine Electivwire is good too. Takes a twave from blissey and say thank you and cause havoc to the entire team.

A lot of things can break Skarm Bliss. It's actually a lot easier to beat than most people think. Just have to have good coverage on your team, mostly fire and fighting of course.

Shiraishi July 30th, 2007 6:47 PM

My mence with fire blast takes care of em :/ My electivire can hold its on as well against them. I only use about 3 OU pokes in my team (Starmie,Mence,Togekiss) unless Swampert is OU...

Azonic July 30th, 2007 6:51 PM

Starmie is not OU, but isn't UU.

Kingdra or any mixed sweeper pwns.

c_dog July 30th, 2007 7:03 PM

starmie is so OU. it's only every other team. swampert is OU too. it's not as common as some other OU's but it's around. worst case it's a very very good BL.

Kingdra can beat Skarm Bliss? Skarm it can beat alright, but if they switch to Blissey Kingdra is completely walled.

What are you talking about??? Starmie has ALWAYS been OU. And this gen is STILL OU

Lord Mike July 31st, 2007 6:27 AM

Here's a good UU Team you can try out.

Electivire @ Life Orb
Trait: Motor Drive
Rash Nature (+SAtk, -SDef)
EVs: 140 HP / 92 Atk / 144 Def / 96 SAtk / 164 Spd
-Thunderbolt
-Cross Chop
-Focus Blast
-Fire Punch

SkarmBliss counter.

Ambipom @ Choice Band
Trait: Technician
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
-Shadow Claw
-Double Hit
-U-Turn
-Brick Break

SC for Ghosts, Double Hit powered up thanks to ability, U-Turn for a hit-and-run type of situation, and Brick Break KOs a variety of types.

Meganium @ Leftovers
Trait: Overgrow
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
EVs: 236 HP / 252 Def / 16 SDef

Seol July 31st, 2007 6:29 AM

Um, Electivire isn't UU...

Lord Mike July 31st, 2007 6:32 AM

Well, he wondered how to counter SkarmBliss, so that's probably one of the best ways to do it. Magmar can work too, and I know he's UU, I just checked the Tier List.

Shiraishi July 31st, 2007 6:37 AM

You just gave me a great physical wall for my team, ty very much.

WraithGadra July 31st, 2007 6:38 AM

Why would you use Magmar when you can use Magmotar?

Just trying to understand your post.

Becuase Magmortar isn't Uu. >.< he's Ou/BL. Also, why are you using Ou pokes when you Hate them? that doesn't make sense.

Towlie July 31st, 2007 7:12 AM

Magmortar seems pretty UU to me. Never really sees play on teams.

Azonic July 31st, 2007 9:35 AM

I see Magmortar on teams every once in a while, but not all the time. I wouldn't say it is OU but it is reaching OU status.

Lord Mike July 31st, 2007 1:32 PM

I haven't been able to locate the tier list for the D/P generation, but I would think Magmortar would be Borderline, which is basically more part of OU since Borderliners aren't allowed in the UU metagame.

That's why I was simply guessing with Ambipom and Electivire. Sorry about that.

I'm the only one that uses Meganium, heck, I even use it in the OU metagame and with the right EVs and movesets it PWNS. I thought it would be nice to finally share my signature Meganium with the public.

Skarm Bliss combo is dead now.

Anti July 31st, 2007 2:33 PM

It is? They must have lost quite a bit of power in 4th gen.

Vainz August 1st, 2007 10:14 AM

Im sorry if i wasnt clear, but i want help to beat OU pokeon with UU pokemon. I dont consider Magmortar OU. When i say OU, i mean in the same level as Bliss/Skarm, Garchomp, Milotic, ect. I know i said i hate OU pokes, and i do, but if i dont use at least a few, it is very hard to stand up against some of the people who use nothing but the standard OU pokemon, because they are OU for a reason. I think having a few orginal choices makes the game more intresting, thats all. What is the best poke to go against any type of Salamence?

if you need a few Ou pokemon go Regice, but there is Glalie for Uu/Bl. Weavile's partially ice Abomasnow's UU as well, as said on Mewtwo Academy.
