RE: X / Y Pokemon of the Week #3: Pinsir CC is the better coverage move overall in non-aegislash meta. I've seen people running feint > quick attack because the increased priority means you can check other pinsir with your own pinsir, but it's very situational and the extra power of quick...

Not being able to set up rocks isn't a huge deal as you only need one rock setter on your team. Assault vest slowbro isn't good tbh, turns it from a top-tier physical wall into a pretty meh mixed wall. People might use it but doesn't mean it's good, lol.

Deviating from the standard is all fine and good, but not if it results in an inferior set. People seem to love slapping assault vest on things and calling it a bulky special wall/pivot, it just makes so many mons worse than they really are because they can't have recovery from leftovers, run...

Assault Vest just isn't a good item on Milotic tbh. It's good for a select few mons, generally those who are used as bulky pivots on more offensive teams. Running Lunar Dance isn't the same as being able to stay in with it and Rest/Recover repeatedly, it's only a one time thing and you have to...

RE: The Competitive Battling Simple Questions Thread Might have been a bit later than that, but yeah.

RE: The Competitive Battling Simple Questions Thread lol The points system was weird last gen though, you'd gain a huge amount of points at first then drop later. You'd get a ton of people thinking they got #1 on the ladder after going 10-0. You needed to play a good amount of battles before...

RE: The Competitive Battling Simple Questions Thread Pokemon showdown wasn't around in gen 4, so whichever sim that was on, it's not equivalent to 1900 on showdown. The quality of players on showdown ladder is pretty poor atm, most good players just do tournaments. You can get some better...

RE: X / Y Pokemon of the Week #2: Talonflame It's good if your team specifically needs a heatran or rotom-w lure.

RE: X / Y Pokemon of the Week #2: Talonflame Natural Gift with Salac Berry is also another option to hit Heatran. Jolly nature is perfectly viable on the Choice Band set, I'd slash that in. It misses the loss in power a little, but makes up for it by being able to revenge kill Thundurus and...

ah, so the clan is back, is it? I'm not really big on competitive battling right now, still debating on whether or not to get back into it, but I really hate the current metagame. If I do start battling properly again, I'll definitely come over.

Are you free any time today (Monday) past 4 pm GMT?

We need to battle for the tiering democracy tour, when are you free?

Alright, monday or wednesday night is good for me this week, or the weekend.

Oh... alright then. Shame we couldn't get it done.

hey, we need to get our UU battle done pretty fast... when's good for you?

hey, if you're free right now maybe we could be our tournament battle done?

did you really find benny at the side of the street LOL

It's normally easier to peak high on smogon than it is on beta, beta might have more bad players, but that's what you get from having a bigger userbase. They still have a fair amount of good players. You normally need a higher score to get to a certain rank on beta when compared to the same rank...

we could play now, if you'd like. but I'm guessing it's rather late for you?

alright then. this friday night should be fine as well.
