I wouldn't say that. Some teams are absolutely wrecked by Spikes (like mine).

Yeah, that's a tip, NU Pokes NEED Focus Sashes. Unfortunately the only NU spinner is Delibird (lol) who takes 50% switching into all forms of Spikes. I suppose his Swampert didn't really need Roar since he had a Phazer in Skarmory. And if his Blissey had Thunder Wave it wouldn't really have...

Uh... was quoting the whole thing necessary? >.>

I guess it's supposed to be a surprise move to cripple its defensive counters, but since most Alakazam switch-ins have Natural Cure, it seems pointless. Maybe he couldn't think of anything better to put there? And I had gotten my hopes up that he didn't even have Skarmory, sending out Swampert...

Like I said, Wormodam was at full health and I loaded up a bit on HP EVs, and it has 105 Base SpDef, so it could have survived a hit and Leaf Storm'd it.

Haha, I love this. It was actually pretty funny. Good job on winning. I would congratulate you for using UU in an OU environment, but I top that by using an all-NU team. =P

Infernape Kong here to bring another real-life warstory. I made a bet with my friend that if I couldn't beat his OU team with my OU, UU, and NU team without losing, he could have any of my Pokes that he wanted. Seems pretty challenging, but his team couldn't stop my Floatzel + Scizor pair, and...

Actually, once you Countersash/Coatsash something you're left at 1 HP. In other words, Flail and Reversal range.

CounterSash IS awesome. I recently swept someone with a Sucker Punch/Counter/Flail Spinda by surprise KO'ing his Garchomp. I warstoried that battle unfortunately Aeolus rejected it. ^_^;

Uh, Rattata loses its Sash to anything it switches into, and Quick Attack by itself doesn't do much, so not exactly a counter.

Magnezone @ Leftovers 252 HP / 252 SpAtt Modest Nature - Subsitute - HP Ice - Thunderbolt - Thunder Wave Sorry, we're done with the NUs. XD

On Serebii it said that it doesn't double speed, on Smogon it said that it did. I trust Smogon more. And yeah, 25% Paralysis does suck. How's this? Gengar @ Focus Sash 252 Att/Spd / 4 HP Jolly Nature - Protect - Hypnosis - Explosion - Shadow Ball Ursaring @ Focus Sash 252 Att/Spd / 4 HP...

On a late-game Yanmega, I'd use Expert Belt. Life Orb recoil sucks when switching into Stealth Rocks when sandstorm is in play. You lose 50% when you switch in, then 16% every turn.

That's not all that bad of an idea. It sounds like it could work. But does Gyro Ball only hit one opponent in Double Battles?

Hippowdon @ Leftovers 252 Def/252 HP/4 Att Impish - Earthquake - Slack Off - Roar - Thunder Fang It can only be hurt by Close Combat, and if you do that more than once you get owned by EQ thanks to Def drop. Since I'm only countering Hariyama, the last slot can potentially Paralyze.

Uh, interesting, could work as a surprise... Unfortunately DD Rayquaza is much more practical and those who resist dragon resist steel as well.

This is who can set up Sub without it being broken by Seismic Toss: They must have 100 Base HP or be a Ghost type. I think my counting was a little off, how's this: First we start off with 57 Pokemon with Base 100 HP or higher. We subtract 11 from that because there are eleven ubers with that...

So please, DON'T pull a "I wish people read my posts instead of saying crap" out of your rear.

Okay then, I'll go ahead and list the advantages Blissey has. First of all, Cradily has an Ice weak. You mentioned how important Bolt-Beam is when discussing Regice, so that really hurts Cradily's walling capabilities. Second of all, Regice has a Stealth Rock weak, meaning it takes 25% every...

Yepp. Still though, it isn't an assured OHKO without Stealth Rock, and if it puts more EVs into HP it can survive. Plus who runs Duggy? XD
