I never heard of any moron using Gengar against a Snorlax. Snorlax after one or so Curses OHKOs Gengar with Shadow Ball.
And I have never heard of a moron who uses Curse against Gengar. Snorlax will OHKO Gengar with Shadow Ball even without a curse. -.-

MCGar > Trigar. Trigar gets walled by every single Snorlax out there. At least MCgar can deal good damage to Snorlax on the switch.

I guess it can work but you need to put a lot of EVs in Attack and Speed.

Only needs enough Attack to 2HKO Blissey and Speed to beat 330 Starmie.

You mean you were discussing McGar and didn't even know how it worked or what it did.

Just about every good OU player here. Teams don't fear Gengar, and usually have no need to try and counter it with snorlax. Their main concern is counter MEtagross and Tyrnitar who can SCREW YOUR WHOLE TEAM if their attack grows high enough.


And no, Gengar can only roughly 49-58% Blissey with Focus Punch. Gengar's attack is too weak to KO Blissey with FP.

You are in 2004 before Tyranitar and Jirachii were invented. AKA, Shadow Ball Snorlax is only used in teams that have Gengar problems.

Then I guess that's a problem with most teams because Gengar has Levitate and is basicly like a phazer to Quakelax to stop Cursing and switch out.

I think you fail to understand the fact that ONE POKEMON ISN'T A TEAM. Teams who have EQ on Curselax have ways to deal with Gengar. This is called team synergy

Saying thats a problem with MOST teams is basically proving that MOST of the teams you've witnessesed aren't really solid at all.

You're assuming things yet again Synchronize. You don't know many of the opponent's I battle. These people mixed OU with UU and NU and use uncommon movesets that no one can really prepare for. When you thought you like you've seen everything in the metagame, please tell me.

lol, and when you actually learn that you aren't that good, please come see me. I've seen enough things in the Metagames respectively to prepare for them, because knowing a pokemon's stats and movepool are all you need to know. If you know how to play correctly, then no matter what the opponent throws at you, standard or not, you know how to fight back. Which, good sir, and I am well able to do.

You, however, don't even know how much you can hurt a Blissey with Focus Punch.

So when you learn how pokemon battle, please tell me.

People who mix NU, UU and OU in one team aren't generally that good.

You assume I'm not good because I post teams you strongly disagree with. I've found my comfort zone on NetBattle, and with the movesets I make that you hate and Pax Deorum thinks all suck, I school Pokemon in NetBattle. When you know my NetBattle record, please tell me. :P :P :P

Your Netbattle records don't mean crap. =\ Everyone knows Netbattle is full of n00bs.
And judging by your posts in the battle Battle Logs section you haven't battled any good netbattlers.

and i dont think you suck because i disagree with you. I disagree with you because 70% of the time you are wrong. I think you suck because you don't even know how much STAB increases an attack by.

Your battle logs are about as funny as your fanfics. Which isn't much. -.-

And if you are as good as you claim to be, then how about posting some real battle logs?

Anyway... I can't bother replying here anymore. I don't want to clutter up the forums with off-topic posts.

I've looked on other websites and it said 25% STAB for dual-types and I thought it was 50% STAB but they said 25% STAB so I listened to them.

What's funny is that you assume that people are bad even though you don't know them that well. :\
