Weavile Counter

But my weavile beat every single hippowdon it faced, except the rare CBer that it sometimes got whomped by.
 
The players I've faced were actually very good :/

Not to mention Dark Azelf just proved it isn't a counter.
 
My Weavile has had mixed responses to Hippowdon. It has beaten about 1/3 of them, but most of the adequate physical tank Hippowdon have stood up to it, and forced me to switch. Also, Sand Stream screws a Weavile's Focus Sash - not good. So a Weavile can be beaten in one turn by a Hippowdon if it EQs.

EDIT: I'll battle you, Kazaam. My FC is in my trainer card. See you on there in a minute.

Wow, more calculations... would someone with a Weavile please battle me. And why is everyone calculating with CB, a lot of Weaviles run Swords Dance + Focus Sash.

And? Hippowdon cannot counter many variations of weavile, thus it isn't a counter. That's all you need to know.

And it can't even counter the SD set since switching into an ice punch will hurt, you quake it for 60% (or whatever the calc was) after it hits uyou a 2nd time, and then it'll finish you.
 
Just someone please battle Ooka and we'll end this argument. I'm sick of it. We just go back in forth like little pre-schoolers, "No I didn't, yes you did, no I didn't. Blah blah blah" I sound rude, I know, but that's because I'm sick of this constant volley of opinions. Well yeah calculations have already been discussed and as both Ooka and I have said, if it's happened, it's happened and no matter how many facts you have opposing it, it still happened.

Let's see what's an example: Bees. Bees' wings, according to laws of physics, are too small to carry their bodies. Yet they do fly.

Physics and pokemon are tow totally different things? And what is a abttle going to solve? One instense menas nothing whatesoever.
 
Only the Weavile. Although we could research it in different scenarios, I don't feel up to that task. >_<
 
Regardless, there are so many scenarios that hippo, while it can counter certain sets, can't counter enough to make it a safe switch-in really.

I was just trying to provide a real life example of calculations not always being the answer to everything. If you can't see that I'm just done pursuading you.

And I never said one battle, I said "We should do it like scientists." Which meant that they should battle more than once (and yes in different scenarios, sorry. We could find someone else to do it though too) because one outcome I know doesn't prove anything. A consitant outcome is what proves things.

One battle will solve nothing. Many battles all ending the same way will give us a result (with many different Weavile/Hippowdon, of course).

EDIT: I'm online when you're ready, Kazaam.
 
But we aren't going to get a consistant outcome since there are amny variations of both pokemon, especially weavile. That means that you have to go based on fact. (And BTW, calcs are actually very useful for determining these things.)

EDIT: Kuro, I said in a post a few minutes ago one battle would prove nothing ;)
 
So what you're saying is that you stand by theoretical proof over practical proof?

Which is what I've said twice already. And we're trying to find the best counter of a Hippowdon for the Weavile. So yeah, we'll try many times against one type, then against other types of Weaviles. If it fails, then we try a different Hippowdon set. We can't really call something dead until we've tried everything that's plausible enough to work.

Which is what I've said before you too, so we agree on that ok? We think the same about that and if you read our posts you'd understand that.
