haha, you highly underestimate yourself, my friend. Your team is an amazingly great counter to my team. I remember someone tried to go up against me with a Magnezone, Swampert, and Dugtrio. Dugtrio doesn't scare me as much now that I put Ice Beam on Blissey, but Magnezone is frightening and Swampert will always be a thorn for my team. But anyway, someone built a team to counter mine and I DESTROYED it.

lol, somebody did that to me. It's so fun to uber-predict people. If we ever battle on Netbattle, I actually DO have a cursepert on my team! Teh pokemanz gona g3t me teh winz!

Your team, however... I dunno, it's just amazingly well balanced. Now, I've got a pretty damn good team (to give you an idea, I formulated a team with NO 4x weakness), but your team gives mine a run for its money.

another person to beat my butt down...

Although, both variations of my team has its flaws... mainly with dealing with Swampert for one, and Blissey for another. So I've got a few things to sort out no matter what.

My team also has blissey. OMG OMG I ACTUALLY stand a chance agains tthe almighty Richard? Is it possible???

And Lady Nicole, what tourney? The Halloween Haunt one? If so, I'm gonna sit that one out.

I'm amazed that my team counters yours well...of course, it's 3rd gen, but OMG OMG haxorz! For the record, that was an accident. lol

But it is an accomplishment to beat you, Richard. I really do look forward to the day we fight. and BTW, I have my Richard Steel keyboard and graceofbaal speakers here that I'm using right now.

Well you could give Starmie Grass Knot Richard =D

Oh, I do have a Starmie with Grass Knot... but that's where my trouble with Blissey comes in. Claydol is my replacement for a Rapid Spinner, and basically the only sure-fire way to defeat Blissey is to Explode on her fat ass, which can be slightly unreliable. Even Metagross can have trouble with Blissey, since more than once Parahax has taken its toll, and with leftovers Meteor Mash can on occasion be a 3HKO. Insane, eh? But with Claydol, it basically opens up a window for a different Pokemon in place of Spiritomb and Metagross (my core resistances to Fighting and Rock, which Claydol fulfills both). It's just hard parting with Metagross (rarely do I switch him, though) and Spiritomb for ANY battle, since Spiritomb has become a notorious lead of mine. And even when I do lose Spiritomb, I don't have a reliable lead. Skarmory is a decent lead, but trouble arises when some douche decides to lead with Magnezone, which (for the record) has indeed happened before. haha

In a nutshell: I'm still trying to calculate a team where I can kill both Blissey and Swampert, and also Rapid Spin.

Okay, that's just friggen creepy. XD

Ice beam on Blissey eh? Magnezone is frightening eh? No 4x weaknesses eh? *strokes chin* I'm starting to form a plan.

How dareth thee?!!!!!!

Scuse me, is my Richard Steel stuff being ignored here? I'm his biggest fan in case anyone hadn't noticed!

Mr. Steel, you're online again! You know what? We have a lot in common ;););) We're both pianists, we can both be manical at times...and we're both unpaired *WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE* hahaha lol XD nah, just kidding.

 

[sims796]

That reminds me (the Blissey/Swampet thing, not the hair)

What is the best counter to Skarmbliss, WITHOUT a mixed sweeper? Can you answer that?! I think not :P

Why, Ms. Nicole, whatever could you be alluding to? XD

And I didn't know you play piano. Who's your favorite composer?
Please tell me you're at least a Billy Joel fan.

And don't worry, Magnezone is taken care of with a secret weapon of mine. That was what destroyed that one guy's team: I brought Skarm out, and immediately switched to it, and BAM, Magnezone was toast. It was amazing.

EDIT:

Hmmm... now that one's impossible. Infernape is unarguably the greatest SkarmBliss killer in existence, but any intelligent SkarmBliss user will have a backup wall in this generation. Claydol and Milotic seem popular, and will usually defeat Infernape one-on-one. If you want to go old fashioned SkarmBliss killer, my personal favorite is SubPunching Gengar (dubbed "McIceGar"), or even Tyraniboah, which actually caught me off guard once and killed my Skarm, the bastard.

ChainChomp does a decent job at it too, but is a bit more predictable - and once discovered, it tends to be easy to defeat, since you usually ALWAYS get a free turn/switch while he Swords Dances.

 

[sims796]

Well? Other than mixed sweepers, what can doom a SkarmBliss? I lost two matches from those. Granted, on the second, I DID freeze Skarmory twice.

EDIT:That explains these "clauses" for Skarmbliss. Don't get it.

=O He's talking to me! XD

My favourite composer's Rachmaninoff closely followed by Chopin but I can't play way too many of the stretches :( (damn you, Rachmaninoff, why such big hands?)

OK you're scaring me now...I don't want to mess with you any more, your brainpower's too overwhelmingly strong for me :P I don't like Magnezone anyway, it's too ugly for my liking.

CB medicham in 3rd gen packs a punch on skarm kinda...with some more attack it woukld be I guess. I don't have exact claclations, so I wouldn't be sure.

Oh, Richard, any luck getting Netbattle? Because I'm gonna nickaname my pokemon:

-Richard
-Steel
-grace
-of
-baal
-is my hero

And I'll be proud.

Alright, you want the best way to kill SkarmBliss? I usually don't give this particular piece of information out, but since you asked...

Magnezone @ Life Orb
Naive Nature
EVs: 252 SpAtk, 252 Speed, 6 Atk
- Thunderbolt
- HP [Ice]/Flash Cannon
- Magnet Rise
- Explosion

Trap Skarmory, kill, wait for a Blissey, and make her eat a Life Orbed Explosion. Naive Nature is only there to completely guarantee an OHKO on Blissey with Explosion. Max Speed allows it to switch into Metagross and fire off a Magnet Rise before being Earthquaked.

The only reason this is superior to Infernape when it comes to SkarmBliss killing is the fact that Skarmory can't escape. And Blissey is usually the one to switch in after Skarm is dead. Just pray your opponent doesn't have a Dugtrio.

EDIT:

Rachmaninoff? He's decent. Tchaikovsky I was never a fan of - too many chords. I don't think anything that man wrote was a chord involving anything less than four fingers. I love lots of single notes. make the neatest sound when played faster, a lot like ragtime. Look up the piece by Billy Joel called the Root Beer Rag, which is by far my all time favorite piece to play on the piano, followed very closely by Hungarian Rhapsody No.2, by Liszt.

And pish posh, mess all you want! haha

PS: Magnezone is ugly. And is a thorn in my side. *shakes fist at Magnezone*

 

[sims796]

Alright. I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna call you what we all wanted to call you (Nicole, Anti, Lumine, you know its true), but never did.


So, how is it being the MAN OF STEEL?

There. We can all sleep a bit easier. 1986 references be damned.

So, Man of Steel, too tired for a match? Got someone I want you to see...

 

[Anti]

Or you can use evil fighting attackers with 600 max attack and mega-STAB...too bad there are none :( Medicham comes close, and with some BPed attack, it OHKOed my skarm :(:(:(:(:(:(:(

It made me oh-so-angry!

EDIT: Man of Steel? No. He is the GOD of Steel. Fixed. Simply put, he pwnt superman a long time back, and then threw him to Neptune.

 

[sims796]

Of course, his one weakness!

I tend to use Raichu with Focus Blast. It dents Blisseys too stupid to remember that they can heal. Its less funny than it sounds.

And then my CB magikarp comes in as /THE/ ULTIMATE skarmbliss counter. Bliss wears it down with seismic toss, then unleash CB flail!!!!!!!!!! Skarm...yipes...

No. I meant that quite seriously, unfortunately. It's like, she has a recovery move. Why the hell didn't she use it? & for God sakes, give it T-wave if you won't heal. If my Raichu OHKO's you, there will be problems.

It makes me so damn mad.

Whoa. Stay cool, sims. Always...

 

[Richard Lynch]

lmao, I really hope these nicknames are a joke. XD
I mean, I'm not that good at what I do.

Anti: I have not gotten NetBattle quite yet, but I plan to look into it tomorrow! I shall let you know when I get it.

And yeah, it is a bit late for a rematch, Sims. I haven't slept in for about two weeks, so tomorrow is going to be AMAZING. Hell, I plan to sleep all the way through and wake up Monday morning. Well... maybe not. But a few hours of just wandering around my house in a robe and drinking coffee is worth mention.

 

[Anti]

Are you okay? Today was a bad day in terms of n00b spammage, but we got through it. Let's not blow up now...lol

I wanna get on Netbattle and destroy an uber-n00b right now, but responding to random threads here is preventing me from doing so.

Richard, keep in ming that my Richard Steel pokemon team is leik, teh best! No, I wouldn't make a n00b team. that would ruin your reputation. Not really. what am I saying? Why...yeah, I'm going crazier than sims O_O

Guess we've had a REALLY rough day.

Oh, how do you feel about Notre Dame losing to (lol) Navy? Makes me happy!!!!

EDIT: Looking forward to battling you. Since you've been playing in 4th gen, I might gain a slight advantage sine you're used to the 4th gen metagame...maybe...I'll need anything I can get. I get all nervous during battles, excpet uber-n00b battles, which are SO fun.

though one had a quick claw groudon that wiped out my entire team...that's REALLY embarassing to say, but...

 

[Lumine]

I have the urge to spike Richards coffee mug....

If thats not the way to spend a day off, I don't know what is. I'm already sick of dealing with customers for this quota.

If we forgot your salad, why did you call back in a cab? Do you expect me to follow the cab? They shorten my already short lifespan :(

Still, rest up. I must find a way to defeat you in the meantime...
