Luvdisc is pretty much restricted to NU and UU battles, never OU. As much as I know, a Weavile tanks better than it. lol
 
what do you mean ''viable''

does luvdisk learn hydro pump?

Viable=Usable
And no, it really isnt. Speed aside it's pretty abysmal.

Is Luvdisc ever viable for competitive battling, (and not for making the opponent laugh)

Luvdisc is great tbh, its won me more battles by time out, as my opponent was laughing too hard to move.

But seriously,no its really not good, im sure you can find ANYTHING that can perform better than it.
 
i know that blizzard doesn't fail in hail.......is that true?
(i tried it with my delibird and failed,it may be because of hustle)
hustle=trades accuracy for power
 
thank'ya
so.....all forms of weather have a second effect
sunny day>boosts the power of fire type moves,allows solarbeam to strike every turn without absorbing sunlight
rain dance>boosts the power of water type moves,thunder never misses
hail>strikes non-ice type pokemon,blizzard doen't fail
sandstorm>hits non-type g/s/r,boosts 50% the SPdefence of rock types
second effects ere ''hidden''that's the conclusion.....
 
They arent really hidden, just less obvious. Full guide to be found here
 
To correct you, I've added this.

weathers have not 2 or 3 effects but many more.also,i didn't know that swadow pokemon can learn shadow sky......i had a lot of shadow pokemon but none of them knew shadow sky.although,it seems cool when you look at it

I understand that Garchomp is banned to Ubers on this site, can I view the discussion over the banning of Garchomp? I would like to see why it was considered too strong for OU by the members of PC.

There was a smogon thread about it aswell, its not banned fully, just for a month to see how it influences the metagame. If you read that, it will make a lot more sense as to why its banned. Read the whole front page though, also the back page has all the damage calce of its "so called counters"
 
and many others

Also, with Hail there is a 20% chance that Blizzard will hit through protect, with Rain a 20% chance for Thunder to do so, as well as tons of others. I had them all listed in that "How to build a weather team" thread.

I had no idea on that. Amazing.
 
would this snorlax make a good Special Wall?

Snorlax - #143 (Careful)
HP: 25 - 29
Att: 31
Def: 0 - 3
SpA: 4 - 7
SpD: 30 - 31
Speed: 20 - 25
 
if those numbers above are the evs you should put more in defense than spdefense.and if you wanna prevent fainting from powerful moves(eartrhquake,fire blast)put more evs in your defenses than in other stats
i hope i helped.......

No you didn't. Those are IVs, not EVs. And that advice doesn't make any sense. That's more or less common sense, and you gotta remember the pokes stats. He's more suited to sp.def, sice he IS a sp.wall.

Now to anwer your question, that Lax looks good, although if you have the patience to breed, try for more def.



I just did some calcs. A Wigglytuff with Max HP & Sp.Def with Light Screen up can easily survive a Hyper Beam from Porygon Z.
