    Check your facts, I said NOTHING like that. But... well, he has similarities with terrorists and fascists. Why?
    He doesn't respect other peoples' opinions at all. It's like you and him just want everyone to believe what you do.

    Well, I guess Salamence Is the superior.... I just don't know what he's like ._.But If THAT'S Obvious,How About Dratini vs Bagon? :/:\

    How about no one cares about Dratini v Bagon? No one battles with first-stage evolutions.

    But since you ask, let's take a look. Dratini and Bagon have equal speed. Let's just say Dratini attacks first. You can assume he'll be EV'd in Spd and Atk, as would Bagon. Dratini has only 64 base Atk to Bagon's 75, and it has 45 base Def to Bagon's 60. So even if Dratini goes first, it won't really hurt Bagon too much, and Bagon would likely OHKO Dratini with one of pretty much any physical dragon attack.

    So, in short, Bagon would beat Dratini.

    • XD guys. It's not an opinion. You can say "I think Dragonite will win." all you want, but it is a FACT that it will not, given that they are both trained as viable competitive battlers.

    End thread, pretty much. If you're running a competition-trained Salamence against a competition Dragonite, Salamence is going to win unless some serious luck comes into play or other factors are involved. Salamance only needs to strike first and it's game over.

    Look here: Dragonite, Salamence. Salamence outspeeds, and completely obliterates Dragonite with a super-effective attack such as Draco Meteor or Dragon Pulse in the case of SpecsMence.

    Oh yah, ur right XP But I remember having a Dratini in one of my old files in Ol' blue. He defeated all wild pokemon.... That's probbably why I wanted to match the two up. I think an Admin should lock this, since it's just becoming, "Salemence rocks!" "WTH IS WRONG WITH YOU?" "Hey, let's put Dratini vs Bagon!" "Good idea, but Drat'o still would lose."

    • See, this is why (and I don't mean any offense to you) you thought Dragonite would win. You're basing it solely off of in-game play. You can beat every single trainer and wild pokemon in every single game with just your starter pokemon. That really amounts to nothing. Read up on competitive battling and you'll understand why Dragonite doesn't stand a chance against Salamence.

    And yes, if this topic WERE about personal preference (which it isn't), I would choose Dragonite, as he is one of my favorite pokemon. But that's irrelevant.

    Well, Vance, you do kind of have to let people base it just on personal preference, too. This IS the Pokemon General Board.

    Anyway, my opinion still stands that while Mence would beat Nite in battle, they're still both completely usable options in OU.

    Well....i say dragonite...only because it has the defenses to take a hit,then the attack to strike back....while mence is faster and has higher atk,its defenses really suck...

    Salamence outspeeds and outdamages Dragonite.

    Basically an Outrage/Draco Metoer from Salamence will OHKO Dragonite.

    • But salamence has "intimidate" and dragonite only has "inner focus."

    So I'm not sure... =/
