I've had a few people use it against me on PO's server, and it's never really done much. You can only Poison one Pokemon and that gets wasted if the Pokemon you use it on has Rest, Natural Cure, or is a Steel-type. Taunt and Protect are also generally better than Acrobatics when Poisoning things with Gliscor, meaning that there's no room for Acrobatics if you run Earthquake/Toxic (Fling)/Taunt/Protect.^ nice mental image Stall =_='
Anyway, here is my own question:
I know that SubSD Gliscor is still very common, but is the original AccroFling set still viable?
Actually, if memory serves, that was the hack checker weeding out bad hacks and the trainers misinterpreting it as a ban on previous generation moves.I know there was a problem with moves from older gens a while ago but I'm pretty sure they fixed that.
Jle I suggest you stop hating before you have a horde of angry smogon users on you some of which may have infraction powers
And to make this post not a waste: my Defensive Roserade (you read that right)
Roserade @ Black Sludge
Bold
Natural Cure
252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
-Toxic Spikes
-Sleep Powder
-Rest
-Giga Drain
Before you try and ask what possessed me to run a bulky mon with fully invested 60/55 defenses: I don't know. But now that I've pioneered this set, it's one my team couldn't live without. What makes Roserade amazing is its carefully crafted move pool in combination with its ability and stellar defensive typing. Grass/poison resists Electric and Water and Grass, while being neutral to Rock, Bug, Ground, and Steel. That means that it's a full stop to rotom-W, but the real beauty is that it's impossible to OHKO by a combination of Volt Switch + ScarfLando/BandZor. So in theory Rosey hard counters VolTurn, and in practice he does absorb the nasty tspikes
In reality of course that's not true. That's why it has Natural Cure + Rest. I can't tell you how many people have gone for a 3 or 4hko while I spike up only to Rest in their face. It makes me tear up every time. It's that beautiful
If only Roserade had a bit more defense...
Pwnemon already uses this with success i believe
I'd say Roserade is better as you get to use Leftovers to help with residual damage and Roserade has a stronger Giga Drain and Sludge Bomb.so physically defensive eviolite roselia or the physically defensive roserade?
So Nintendo checks for hacked Pokemon and does not allow their use in tournaments, but allows pokemon with movesets that are impossible to obtain without hacking?The biggest difference between the two metagames are that Nintendo bans all event Pokemon (like Mew and Jirachi) and allows things like Garchomp, Speed Boost Blaziken, and combinations of egg moves that would normally be illegal (Hypnosis+Brave Bird Crobat, Belly Drum+Aqua Jet Azumarill, Sleep Powder+Spikes Roserade, etc.)
Right. No idea why this wasn't answeredIf I breed a male pokemon that has egg moves with Ditto, the baby won't have the egg moves, right?
Thanks in advance
Explaining a bit more, Wailord really has no valuable niche this generation, also, Selfdestruct and Explosion were nerfed this generation so now it is much weaker than beforeIs Selfdestruct still good on Choice Scarf Wailord?
Toxicroak's great on Rain teams, but doesn't have much use outside of that. Terrakion is much better on non-Rain teams due to its higher Atk and Spe and STAB Close Combat and Stone Edge.How good is toxicroak? because it had a huge load of hype in the begining and now it is used less than some UUs, why?
