The PokeMMO Team-building Challenge (14th - 17th April)
gbwead replied to Noad's topic in Events Archive
IGN: Gbwead [spoiler]1. Shuckle Nature: Careful Ability: Sturdy EV Spread: 252 HP / 252 Def / 6 SpD Held Item: Leftovers - Knock off - Encore - Sunny day - Rest As a lead, sunny day shuckle allows vileplume to set quite nicely with chlorophyll. Encore is there to prevent bellydrum linoone. Knock removes dangerous choice band. Toxic seems to be somehow not really useful with all starmie, swellow, machamp, vileplume and swalot in this tier. 2. Vileplume Nature: Modest Ability: Chlorophyll EV Spread: 252 SpA/ 220 Speed / 38 HP Held Item: Leftovers - Sunny day - Solarbeam - Charm - Hidden power Fire Vileplume as a fast and powerful special sweeper doesn't seem to be wall by anyone beside Swalot. He can even removes Swellow physical damage with Charm. The double coverage Grass (solarbeam) and Fire (hidden power fire) seems to take care of pretty much every significant threath in the tier. 3. Starmie Nature: Modest Ability: Natural Cure EV Spread:252 SpA / 252 Speed / 6 HP Held Item: Salac Berry - Thunderbolt - Surf - Psychic - Recover Since thunderbolt from a timid starmie brings another starmie low enough to activate a salac berry, it seemed to be a good idea to play a starmie that can do more damage. Beside this small change, it is a regular offensive starmie with recover. 4. Donphan Nature:Impish Ability: Sturdy EV Spread:252 HP / 252 Def / 6 Atk Held Item: Leftovers - Earthquake - Rock Slide - Superpower - Knock off Donphan is in this team as a physical wall who can protect the special wall Swalot. Since there is only Swellow and Claydol that resist ground moves in this tier, earthquake should deal a lot of damage most of the time. Superpower is here to deal with crawdaunt and any normal type. Knock off is there mainly to remove choice band from strong physical attackers. 5. Crawdaunt Nature: Adamant Ability: Hypper Cutter EV Spread: 252 Atk / 180 Speed / 78 HP Held Item: Lum berry - Dragon Dance - Crunch - Crabhammer - Aeral Ace This is a pretty regular dragon dance Crawdaunt. He has aeral ace for a better coverage in this tier. He is slightly more tanky than an usual crawdaunt because he only needs 180 speed with 2 DD in order to outspeed Swellow. Hypper Cutter is to prevent any charm user to make crawdaunt weak. 6. Swalot Nature: Calm Ability: Liquid Ooze EV Spread: 252 HP / 252 SpD / 6 SpA Held Item: Leftovers - Amnesia - Encore - Pain Split - Sludgebomb Swallot is the special wall of this team. Amnesia allows him to even wall psychic attackers. As for liquid ooze, it is to counter giga drain and leech seed from vileplume. Without Swalot, leech seed would just regenerate all the other pokemons all the time (especially shuckle). Sludgebomb is there because it is the strongest damagign attack Swalot has. As for pain split, this wall needs a way to regenerate his hit points. And Encore is the to prevent linoone to set up.[/spoiler] -

My top 5 1. Xploz Xploz got the best video imo. Everything is well put together, the messages are clear and not overly agressive like in other videos. If this trailer ain't perfect, it must be pretty damn close. 2. DoctorBpc Short and sweet, a trailer should not be exhaustive and digress on meaningless details like the casino. Furthermore, the video is organic, the images speak for themselves in a way where it almost seems PokeMMO is presenting itself to the viewer. 3. Kiliminati The well spoken voice of Kiliminati distinguish this video from all others. Everything is explained simply without any need for outrageous sound or video effects. When I watch the video, I feel like listening to the testimonial of a player that really enjoys the game. 4. ItzJosh 5. Gilan

[Tournament] The Ultimate RNG Showdown! (March 6th)

Spikes gives you free turns to set up w.e you want. You don't need a spinner if you know what you are doing. Furthermore, with all the levitate pokemons and the flying pokemons, they are really not that big of a deal. What is the point of this discussion? Spikes are annoying. OK. So what? I personnally find wish to be very annoying, so i'm just gonna make sure my team can handle long battles. Thats it.
-
I believe omastar should be mentionned as a spiker (really similar to cloyster) and torkoal should be mentionned as a rapid spinner. Delibird is also a spiker. Claydol is an amazing spinner since it takes no dmg from spikes and it can also hit gengar pretty hard on a good predict. BTW flinch is RNG and spikes aren't. I don't see how they can be compared.
-
If you want to play safe, just get hypno i guess. I am jsut sayign that they are some options out there that may not be perfect for all the breloom movesets but they still should be considered in some cases.
-
I don't care that they are bad as long as they are good enough to beat breloom (ok maybe not delibird XD). Plus, i'm pretty sure any sleep talk or snore user can come up with a decent build to counter breloom.
-
What about Noctowl (cyclone, heat wave/aeral ace) or Banette or Primeape (bulk)? They are all immune to spore. Even delibird (immune to spore, 75 base speed, ice beam stab to OS breloom, destiny bond to kill substitute breelom) can get rid of this nuisance. I'm not much of a UU player but I don't see how breloom is gonna be a game breaker.
