Whos to say you havent been battling compete nubs ? Win records are irrelevant =p. Anyways, i wouldnt say balanced pokemon fail, so to speak, but they wont do certain jobs as good as specialist pokemon, a good example would be Mesprit who can do ANY job basically, from Spiking, to tanking, even sweeping etc vs Hippowdon at physical walling, in comparison of physical walling Mesprit pales to hippow.

No, he meant by making every pokemon cover every base. Those phail in every way. For example, giving Pikachu Substitute just to take a hit, or giving a fragile sweeper survivability. Those fail. Trying to make every pokemon cover all bases weaken it comepletely.

Just let those pokes stick to their stregnths. Don't force them to be all pound when they can't afford to be.

And as Dark said, win records doesn't prove anything. I have a record 0f 35 wins, 32 losses-all from Dark Azelf. Does that mean I'm a bad player? Looks to me like it means I should battle other people :\

This is another episode of "Dark_Azelf tries to be creative" haha

Anyways, i noticed Lickilicky has solid base stats and thought it could be pretty tanky due to the base 110 hp / 95 def / 95 sp.def. But it does not have reliable recovery ......or does it ? Well, i noticed it gets a very special move, and is awesome, that being Wish through an event =D. So i though a decent support set would be in order to be an anti metagame poke of sorts =p


Lickilicky@leftovers
212 HP / 220 DEF / 78 Sp.Def
Relaxed Nature
- Thunderpunch / Thunderbolt
- Icy Wind / Knock off
- Wish
- Body Slam


Knock Off/Icy Wind and Body Slam could screw alot of things up imo, Looks to be cool counter to Gyarados aswell hence T-Punch/Bolt.


I could put some evs in att /sp.att, but meh =p


Opinions etc ??
 
Wow, I never realised the fatty could do anything past rival snorlax at pie eating ;)
But yeah, that set seams quite solid (No pun intended). Wish support is always handy, as is knock-off. I wouldnt use iy wind, since it is cured by a simple switch-out, but since it's not an immediate problem it's hardly forcing a switch like status can. Since you have T-punch/Bolt for paralysis, consider explosion over body slam for a more volatile STAB move ;)
 
I really really like Lickilicky, but you do know that Event-exclusive moves are getting banned, right?

Wait until we have Custap Berry available. Then I'm sure Lickilicky usage will go up.

Never heard that rule before, I've never played anyone with a problem with using wishbliss :S

Its not 100% certain that there will be an event move ban to the best of my knowledge. Nothing has been guaranteedly decided yet. Correct me if im wrong lol

I think its kinda stupid being an event blanket ban tbh, MANY people work hard to get these events and then get told they cant use them ? Yeah, im sure people will listen to that...not, only cause for concern is Tickle wobby really, who wouldnt be a problem if some smart person wouldnt of woke up one morning and say "Imma put Wobby in OU" >_>.


Anyway, until then im gonna abuse event moves lol



Custap berry seems cool, especially on sub-ability pokemon =p

I believe their ban has been decided already, but I could be wrong.

Anyway, I imagine Custaplicky to run like

Lickilicky @ Custap Berry
Adamant/Brave
252 HP 252 Atk
- Counter
- Swords Dance
- Explosion
- Gyro Ball/Endure

Counter a hit, get low-health'd, activate Custap, Explode. If you predict a switch, SD. Gyro Ball is for Gengar, Endure for convenience.
 
I love Lickilicky. Its support movepool is pretty awesome and it takes hits better than you'd think. You can bulky it up to Celebi's level if you want, which shows it's not too bad. That and everything but ghosts fear that SD Explosion.
 
Thank you for the shedinja movesets.
What is custap berry? I have never heard of it :/
 
I need help with one more thing - Golduck's ability Cloud Nine could be useful on SS and Hail teams, switching off their Special Def (TTar and Hippo won't enjoy taking Focus Blast and Surf without SS cover :D), but there is a problem - how to use him in effective way in OU ? His stats aren't the greatest, but aren't that bad also. Maybe just to use some standard set with Choice Specs or Scarf and pass him Agility, Rock Polish or Nasty Plot/Calm Mind to give him more power ? By standard set I mean:

- Calm Mind/Hypnosis (or Substititute)
- Focus Blast (good combination with Cloud Nine)
- Surf/Hydro Pump (for STAB)
- Ice Beam

Yep, the only difference from standard UU set is Focus Blast used in place of Hidden Power. In other words I thought of maximizing Speed and Special Attack to try to use him as a spiker or with help of Calm Mind to raise his Special Def (but still 80 hp don't help you to use this variant and that's the reason I would prefer to use him as a Weather Switching Spiker). But if you have any idea for using Golduck in other way or just make proposition for EVs (because to tell the truth it's not my strong point) then it would be nice. This variant of Golduck is easily walled by Blissey/Snorlax or Bulky Waters, but I think it's not that bad on other Pokes. Or maybe just to try to use one of Hidden Powers ? Cheers and thx for any help.

Usually in OU, i use


Golduck@life Orb
104 Attack / 252 Sp.A / 152 Speed
Mild Nature
- Cross Chop
- Hydro Pump / Surf
- Ice Beam
- Hidden power Electric / Hypnosis

244 speed to outspeed Jolly T-Tar. Its kinda a cool set, especially for people who seem to think Blissey and Snorlax are counters lolz.Hidden power hits Gyarados and bulky waters mainly, but Hypnosis is there if you cant get it.

Thanks for it Pokémon gets to move first just once in a pinch if I'm not mistaken ;).

And...

Golduck@life Orb
104 Attack / 252 Sp.A / 152 Speed
Mild Nature
- Cross Chop
- Hydro Pump / Surf
- Ice Beam
- Hidden power Electric / Hypnosis

I totally forgot that Golduck have Cross Chop ;). Thanks for set D_A, because it looks really nice and with wish support could be really effective ;).
 
Doesnt golduck work better as special sweeper like this?

Leftovers
30 HP / 252 SAtk / 228 Spd
Modest Nature
With Ability Cloud Nine (Obviosly lol)
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Calm Mind
-Hypnosis

What about that?
 
Then your walled utterly by Blissey. Calm Mind won't stop Seismec Toss.
 
Not to mention Golduck isn't very fast, and with your EV spread it can't take physical hits.

Just use Dark_Azelf's set, which I have used and can say it's definately ♥.

@whoever asked;
Custap is a berry that lets you attack first the next turn after your HP has been lowered down to at least 1/3.
 
If you're going to request for simple, standard sets, you should just check Smogon.

Unless you want an opinion on something, that is. Otherwise, someone here will just copypaste a Smogon set.

If you're going to use things like Gengar, then, good gosh, man, just build a straightup OU team and build a seperate Ubers team. This is better to ensure success in both tiers instead of trying to make an interchangeable team that quite likely succeeds in neither.

As the others have said, the OUs that work out in Ubers require very different standard sets. Those standard sets don't tend to work out the best in OU. By definition of packing an interchangeable team you're going to need two different variants of the same Pokemon for general success. Which raises the question of why you're not using a seperate team altogether?

Uh....k.....(obiliously I can't explain it way I wanted to, so I just dropping it.)
I'm workin on both teams....for my uber one, would it better to have Spacial rend on my Darkrai instead of Thunder? (i'm running the mixed sweeper set from smogon but it don't mention Darkrai's event moves, Spacial rend & Roar of time.)
I'm also wondering if Scope lens would be a acceptable held item instead of Life orb, due to Spacial rend's high-critial hit ratio....(also, focus punch with a higher critial hit ratio would help....probaly still hax though...)Also, should I have metagross as my psyically defensive pokemon for the standrad team, or leave the heavy psyical hitting to my Garchomp & have a supportive psyically defensive pokemon that can hurt the foe bad when needed, like Forretress or Scizor?

Could I get sets for Regice, Registeel, and Regirock, please? ^.^
Click to expand...

Regice@leftovers
252 HP / 252 DEF / 6 SP.DEF
Calm nature
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Seismic Toss / Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam

yep.

Regirock@leftovers
Careful nature
252 HP / 6 Atk / 252 Sp.D
- Toxic / Thunderwave
- Earthquake / Hammer Arm
- Stone Edge
- ice Punch / Stealth Rock

Support.

Regirock@leftovers
Same spread and nature as above
~ Stone Edge / Rock Slide
~ Hammer Arm / Earthquake
~ Rest
~ Sleep Talk

Rest-talk.

Regirock@leftovers
Same spread and nature as above
~ Curse
~ Stone Edge
~ Earthquake / Fire Punch
~ Ice Punch / Rest / Explosion

Curse.

Registeel@leftovers
Relaxed Nature
252 HP / 56 Def / 200 Sp.D
- Thunder
- Ice Punch
- Toxic
- Hammer Arm / Earthquake

Thunder pwns those Skarmory and Forry idiots who go lol set up fodder. It also hits bulk waters hard and owns Gyarados and has a cool paralysis rate. You may use Zap cannon if you are brave >=]. Hammer Arm dominates Porygon-z, T-Tar, and most importantly Magnet Rise Magnezone, whilst EQ hits Metagross, jirachi etc..

Anti will disagree, but BY far the most successful registeel set ive ever used.
