Most Valued Pokemon?

Oh, how I love my Terrakion. After that it's Hippowdon, then Conkeldurr.
 
Can't believe Excadrill wasn't even mentioned. Maybe everyone is just too annoyed with how well it works...

Anywho, my MVP is definitely Scarf Jirachi. Iron Head will destroy almost anything with its 60% flinch rate, and with all three elemental punches under its belt, there is little that can avoid being hit super effectively with proper prediction (not to mention a 20% chance to freeze, burn, or paralyze respectively.)
 
@cartercr: ScarfRachi is pretty decent, but the lack of power makes it kinda hard to kill something with flinch hax or super effective hits. ThunderPunch is pretty useless outside of Gyarados since other Water-types like Jellicent take a pittance from it anyway. I'd much prefer Trick to screw over Skarmory or something.

I think Scarf Abomasnow is pretty neat, especially when you need a weather check and none of your other members need to rely on Hail. Fast STAB Blizzards are admittedly very spammable that sometimes I wish I had more than just 8PP. SR can be played around, but it's still kinda annoying.
 
Blaziken. It is the strongest pokemon I've ever had.
 
I love reuniclus as well, I gave mine Acid Armor and Calm Mind;, although it gets walled by dark types since I gave it Recover over Focus Blast, team preview makes it a massive threat. At one point he even stopped a +4 Gliscor sweep (lol) by surviving an earthquake, acid armoring with the sitrus berry, and then walling it.
Scolipede's speed helps it revenge kill stuff like the Lati twins. Although scolipede isn't that great, I still love using him on my teams.
I sashed mine so, on the off chance that rocks aren't up, it can even check stuff like Volcarona with Rock Slide.
 
All fails against the wonders of my almighty Miss. Jumpluff.
Toxic Bounce Leech Seed and Attract.
Not very effective competitively, I'm sure -
But when I went to the Elite Four in HG and my team was up against them dragons and they were so bulky that none of my pokemon stood a chance and they all died -
Super speed Jumpluff comes to the rescue!

Toxic and Leech Seed go for the gusto after an Attract- then Bounce as a "protect+attack" attack to boost toxic and continue the sapping. Poison or steel? Naddaproblem just bounce 'em and you get the paralysis boost anyway.

This is a very nostalgic moveset for me, though now i'm sort of considering tinker-toying with it so I can perfect my favorite grass pokemon for the Wifi.



However, when I was 8 years old I had pokemon yellow. All I know is that I had the mightiest Starmie that ever existed. It took down everything in the elite four without fail and was the strongest pokemon of all time. Then one day I went home after leaving my gameboy next to the window to find that the internal battery melted and that Starmie was dead. Forever. So I cried. A lot. RIP Starmie.
 
SubPunchLoom for sure. No contest.

Except maybe Bulky Technician Scizor...
 
Easy.

Gungnir, My SL Cloyster. He has crushed so many Cookie Cutter Pokemon its not even funny anymore....ok, thats a Lie, its still fun. His K/D ratio is the highest in my battle boxes.
 
My shiny excadrill is an animal. I personally can't believe I'm the first to mention the beast lmao. One swords dance coming off a sand rush speed boost courtesy of tyranitar annihilates just about anything in its way, plus the air balloon protects him from EQ.

What more could you want? Hahaha
 
I've been relying pretty heavily on my Dragonite recently. And with Multiscale, it can actually take it. Over time, DNite has become one of my most valuable Pokemon on my team.
 
Slowking (period)
water covers ice,
ice covers water,
same with psychic
and dark
 
I would have to say my porygon z. Even if it isnt the greatest competitively speaking, its still quite a beast when download boosts its special attack and with a choice scarf boosting its speed. It was probably my favorite sweeper in gen 4.
 
I hate all people who use legendaries online or in a team. Its cheap, and basically cheating, since beat up terrakion is the cheapest one out there, and its hard to take them out without legendary stats. Also anyone who uses drizzle politoed, I don't hate them as much, but still. Along with people who us every single pseudo legendaries on their team, its cheap and not fighting fair. And then those who do that and rage quit after, through all odds, I win. That's just stupid.
That out of the way, my MVP would have to be Porygon2. Not good attacking stats, but its defenses are great, combined with eviolite and recover, and you have something that won't die anything short of a high powered super power/close combat.

How are legendaries cheap ? Elaborate. Most of them are weaker than standard OU Pokemon. For example, Terrakion is the definition of "priority weak" (sup Conkeldurr, Scizor, Lucario, Azumarril etc). Its also pooped upon by bulky psychics like Slowbro, Mew etc and struggles with things like Gliscor. -_-
 
My team changes around a lot, since I don't use the Lv. 100 pokemon in my signature. Right now, my Jolteon kicks major butt. There really isnt anything special about him except his speed and his killer accuracy. He almost never misses with thunder.
