Terminology for Battling
Ok now I've completed the game I'm going to be focusing all my Poke time on competitive battling once I've learn't more about strategies and stuff. I see many of you using teminology for your Pokemon in battles such as 'Sweeper' or 'Wall' etc.
Could you help me out and list all the different terminology that you use and what they all mean? Preferably all the different possible ones. For example - I guess that a 'Wall' is a Pokemon with a high defense? I could be wrong but, you get what I'm asking. Thanks guys :) |
Special Sweeper or 'Sp sweeper'-Fast poke with high Sp atk and usually has a wide coverage of types.
Physcial Sweeper-You get it >_> T-Tar-Tyranitar Hax-Unfair or lucky advantage, like ice beam freezing a poke uber-Poke with over 600 in total base stats. Legend-Any poke that cannot breed including manaphy Hax items-Items that give the user an unfair,lucky advantage ex: quick claw Sponge-Poke to block a certain type of attack(physical or special) Wall-Poke to block both types of attack. Tank-Pokemon that takes dmg and can dish it out as well(Swampert, Rhyperior) BPer-Baton passer Hazer-Pokemon that uses Haze to cancel out status upping moves. Phazer-Poke that uses roar, whirlwind Cleric-Poke to heal status conditions on team. Moves that the poke should know include:Aromatherapy,Heal bell IVs-Individudal values EVs-Effort values Zam-Alakazam DD-Dragon Dance EQ-Earthquake Sleep clause- Only 1 poke can be asleep, if its KOd another poke can be put to sleep. Rest is NOT included. Evasion clause-Moves messing with accuracy or evasion are banned. Hax items clause-Rule banning hax items Item clause-Duplicate item are not allowed(I hate this rule) AA-Aerial Ace Lefties-Leftovers CB-Choice Band CS-Choice Scarf HP-Hidden power I think thats it :/ |
Phazer and Psuedo Hazer are the same thing, in fact Phazer is the shorthand of Psuedo Hazer
Tank: A Pokemon that can absorb damage, and dish it out as well, that is high in both Attack and Defence (Rhyperior for instance) |
Ah, so that makes Swampy my tank! Thanks.

Physical Sponge - A pokemon that has a good defense but bad Special defense. Special sponge - Go Figure. Wall - most likely a pokemon that absorbs attacks in special AND physical (e.g. Probopass) *some sponges may be called walls so use common sense. Lefties - Leftovers CB - Choice Band AA - Aerial Ace DD - Dragon Dance BP - Baton Pass HP - Hidden Power EQ - Earthquake ^ added on |
