I swear to god Are RU trying to break NU? Because they're doing a real good job at it.

Uh, I'm sorry I wasn't clear enough, but I was saying comparing seviper to haunter just because they are special attackers and share the poison typing isn't really a good enough reason to compare the two. I said that it was like comparing malamar to cacturne for the better dark-type. Anyway, I...

Well, seviper can run physical moves as well as special and he does get a good physical movepool too. Yes, haunter doesn't really need to much coverage because he has the fantastic STAB in ghost-type, but seviper does have all those coverage options. And sure they're both poison types but that's...

Well, I think I may as well do a nom for this poke I'm having some fun with Seviper Unranked ---------> C- At first look at sevipers stats, you wonder how this thing could be effective. With 100/100 offensive stats, he could serve as a mixed attacker, but his 66 speed sort of seems to let it...

I agree with hariyama, but with klinklang and mawile, you're basically saying "these pokes which are common check it, therefore it should drop". Seeing magneton is being suspected and sure, everyone runs quag, stunfisk etc, doesn't mean that it's utility drops. By that logic, any poke that is...

i forgot to mention that by offensive stats i also meant speed. Also zangoose's power comes from its ability toxic boost, which sort-of restricts it's offensive capabilities. Not saying its bad or anything, but it doesn't have the "pure" offensive capabilities. An example of a typical offensive...

If there is one thing about NU that I know for sure, it is that most of the pokemon here don't have actual pure offensive power, because most of the pokemon that do are in higher tiers. Think of as many pokemon in nu that have good offensive stats and don't have to rely on an ability/item to do...

Probopass still destroys the choiced sets. He also takes out fletch with ease. And air balloon on probopass is a legitimate option. Also, if you know your opponent is going to volt switch out, you can volt switch to.

I'd also like to add, that fletch does have a million counters, with that being everything single rock type ever. Will-o-wisp hurts on most but fletch still can't do anything as practically any rock move ohkos, even if they're wisped. Fletch can stop a lot of threats right in their path but the...

no... paralysis reduces speed to 25%. Electro ball does in fact check those things when dealing damage, so scarf and speed modifiers do take effect. It checks it in a similar way to deciding who goes first in a turn. So basically once you use t-wave on a foe not only have you crippled them but...

I remember once I ran an electrode that used t-wave +electro ball You know what the worst part was? It worked.... sort of

after a couple of battles against magneton, i think i can safely say that it will definitely rise into the S rank on the viability rankings. I have assigned a specific magneton destroyer named probopass to deal with it, and I rarely assign pokes to specifically take out other pokes.

Well I used to play in ru so I already know all the strats to taking down these nu newbies. How the hell did magneton get moved down? I mean I used eviolite analytic magneton and it killed EVERYTHING in ru. I guess it didn't get enough usage but damn, this thing is gonna get straight up in s or...

Okay, while i don't disagree that m-audino is a threat, the reasons you stated that it can deal with what would otherwise be checks are poor. This is because the set you stated that runs flamethrower/psychic uses wish for recovery instead of rest-talk. And, wish is not only unreliable (as you...

I support this. Dual priority in the form of either sucker punch, fake out or shadow sneak can really screw around with the enemy team, and also makes up for his poor speed. He has excellent coverage, and the best part is protean gives a stab boost to them all. He is also an excellent late-game...
