Counter That Pokemon! Won By FlareBlitz (Team 2)

[ToF]

So instead of picking one of the many pokemon that outright beats every single member of the opposing team with little set up we are seriously considering a pokemon that walls three of them and loses to the rest.

Slowbro loses a ton of momentum every time it comes in. We have no electric immunities, meaning they just have to turn Rotom-C into paralysis fodder and Volt Switch out every single time. You can try to stay in of course, but Volt Switch does a lot of damage (72% average) and you can't just Slack Off because you are faster than a paralyzed Rotom-C, meaning you will be forced out and will have to come back in at ~60% health. Which means even Donphan will beat you...

If you guys really have a bulky water fetish at least pick the milotic so it actually threatens Rotom-C offensively...

hey flareblitz i didn't know roserade was a grass type and doesnt mind shit from rotom-c. enough with the hyperbole jesus

 

[FlareBlitz]

I didn't say Rotom-C was going to sweep the team, I said it would cause us to lose momentum...and volt switching on a Roserade straight to Victini or Zoroark will definitely do that. Especially given that we have nothing that can reliably handle Zoroark behind a sub.

How is Heysup losing this when Raikou pretty much stomps Team 2 into oblivion?

At this point, I'm hoping it's because people want to pick a suboptimal choice to make the game more interesting...

I see.

Well, your Kingdra is also a good choice against Team 2 as well. I hope it wins since Heysup is clearly losing this.

FlareBlitz (because at least Kingdra makes the match more intresting, rather than 6-0ing team 2 like Raikou)

Looks like you guys went the boring route and picked a sweeper that can't really be touched right now :/ Though it might not have as easy of a time setting up as Heysup would like you to believe

Raikou @ Life Orb
Timid
72 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpA / 176 Spe
- Calm Mind
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power Ice
- Extrasensory

Heysup pulls 1st place with 3 chosen mons, and can now pick whichever team he wants to. Flareblitz, pulling the most votes from someone that already had 2 mons picked for the team, gets the other team. Heysup, pick a team and then you guys set a date and time so we can all watch!

 

[Heysup]

I'll use either team. Up to whatever FlareBlitz wants. We'll make a time soon.

 

[FlareBlitz]

I'm free all day today, but tomorrow and really the entirety of next week is bad for me (finals). Also I'll take team 2.

 

[Heysup]

Next weekend?

edit: well then stop slacking on this pokemon site and get to it

 

[FlareBlitz]

Next weekend?

Next weekend is fine. I might also be free next Friday, depending on if I get my final project done on time.

 

[Scoopapa]

Do we get to talk shit about who's gonna win now?

 

[Snunch]

roserade will carry heysup to victory

sorry flareblitz but you chose the wrong team!

 

[TM13IceBeam]

Looks like they aren't over! Backing Heysup to win
