Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
You gotta start looking at the end result rather than just what one attack does. It doesn't matter if Starmie and Chansey hit Exeggutor a little better than Alakazam. The end result is Exeggutor is gonna explode. So none of them are any better off.
Starmie doesn't beat normals as fast as...
I aint saying that's not true. I'm saying it doesn't matter since they almost never go down to special hits anyway. Alakazam just has to heal more often but they can both take special hits all day. It's physical attackers you gotta worry about and Alakazam has a better shot against them.
The...
Yo someone spray the hose on Borat and Chansey already :D I see you're still as cocky and dick headed as always huh?
Imo Alakazam is easily as good as Chansey. Chansey can only take hits a little better than Alakazam. Both can take loads of special hits and heal the damage off. The only way...
So I don't know that much about GSC but I don't see how Celebi is powerful enough to be in uber. It's got some great stats but it's moveset doesn't really seem uber. And even though it has some good resistances it has 7 weaknesses and one of those is a double weakness. So did they make a mistake...
I'm not saying Chansey can't beat Golem bro, that's stupid. I'm saying Alakazam is better at it. Golem can switch in on a lightning attack and then explode and take out a full health Chansey. I played a few matches tonight and did that once. Switch Golem on Alakazam and it takes 2 Psychics...
I wouldn't "sacrifice Alakazam", I would only leave it out because it has a very good chance of taking out Golem.
Not attacking your argument? What am I doing then bro? First off you said there's not a single monster Alakazam can beat better than Starmie and I proved that wrong. Alakazam is...
I had a bigger post than this but lost power.
Alakazam beats normal type monsters and Gengar better than Chansey or Starmie so that beats your argument that "there's not a single monster that Alakazam beats better than Starmie".
Also beats Golem better than Chansey. Switch Golem on Chansey...
Eh I have Alakazam and Starmie on my team, they work fine without Chansey.
Chansey as a Chansey counter? All it can do is hope for a lucky freeze or stall each other out. Alakazam can stall Chansey too but no chance to freeze.
Borat you say Hydro Pump has higher power but you forget it only...
Honestly if you're gonna use a rock type I'd go with Golem over Rhydon. Rhydon's 50 higher HP probably isn't gonna matter much, they both go down in 1 hit to most water and grass hits, and in 2 hits to ice moves. They both can take normal and electric moves no problem. Rhydon's higher attack can...
I aint saying Alakazam is as good of a special wall, I'm saying it's as important on a team as Chansey because it's a great special wall and it's alot better on offense than Chansey. It has the highest special besides Mewtwo and one of the highest speeds. You need an Alakazam counter on your...
^ Chansey sucks :D
Anyways I think Aether is right, cause in the real world people aren't so polite all the time.
I dunno why people make a big deal about Dragonite double ice weakness. Even if it only had a normal ice weakness you wouldn't let it take an ice beam or whatever. You wouldn't let...
If Toxic poison didn't go away when you switched out it'd be great. I'd go with Light Screen on Zapdos. Body Slam would probably be better on Lapras rather than taking your chances with Mimic.
Agility Dragonite is so annoying man :D but I guess that's the point.
