Competitive Pokemon analysis and Moveset Disscussion

[UltiMario]

The only reason Skarm is still viable because it has a Dragon Resist and is the most physically Bulky wall in the game.

:/

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

There's no way that Skarm is a better wall than Gliscor. Fighting types ram through him without any trouble.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Would people stack their teams with Skarmory / Ferrothorn / Scizor though? Seems like it'd just be begging for some Fire-type to des--who am I kidding Fire-types suck.

 

[Riddle]

I don't see Gliscor taking hits from Haxorus very often.

 

[UltiMario]

But every physical sweeper ever can just run HP Ice (or, you know, be Dragon type) and just ram through Gliscor with no issue.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

I don't see Skarmory walling Tkon tho

or luc without ice punch

etc


The reason physical sweepers carry an ice move is BECAUSE OF GLISCOR, that should say enough :v

 

[Riddle]

Gliscor is certainly better in some situations, but Skarm is just so damn consistent and awesome.

 

[Linkshot]

How long til Smogon bans DNite? I'll set the over/under at a month.

Smogon would never ban any Gen 1 under 670 BST in this day and age.

 

[UltiMario]

Magnezone is used almost entirely because of Skarmory in Gen IV.

Ferrothorn was just a bonus in Gen V.

If a Pokemon is top 20 usage just to beat another Pokemon, no other reason... I think that's important.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Skarm lost his charm (see what I did there?) because of the many fighting types this gen. Name a fighting type that doesn't barge through Skarm.

Magnezone is still used because of Scizor too. Scizor can't use anything but u-turn as long as Mag is alive.

 

[Linkshot]

The lack of Skarm means my Cradily has nothing left to troll, and falls further for the same reasons Skarm does: Fighting

 

[Riddle]

Toxicroak, Conkeldurr, Scrafty.

 

[Wave⁂]

Magnezone is used almost entirely because of Skarmory in Gen IV.

Ferrothorn was just a bonus in Gen V.

I like how Magnezone loses against like every Steel-type that carries more than two offensive moves. Metagross has Earthquake, Heatran doesn't give a ****, Lucario ***** him.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Toxicroak, Conkeldurr, Scrafty.

ok, opponent has one of those in

You go to Skarm, they either
boost > hit you for 50+
hit you for 30-40 > hit you for 30-40

Especially those pokes who are slower, because he cant roost against them :v

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Oh. Ohhh. I heard Mew was in UU. Is this still true or have people gotten their brains fixed?

 

[UltiMario]

Mew is still in UU.

It turns out being able to be a really good Baton Passer doesn't mean jack **** unless you're Espeon.

 

[Riddle]

Mew isn't just a good baton passer though.

Mew is damn good at almost everything.

 

[UltiMario]

Mew is sort of okay at everything.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Mew should only be used as wall. Her offensive capabilities are simply **** this generation, but defensive, damn.

My Mew set is pretty swag.

Mew @ Leftovers
Trait: Synchronize
EVs: 220 HP / 252 Def / 36 Spd
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Snarl
- Softboiled
- Roar
- Will-O-Wisp

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Mew is sort of okay at everything.

Sort of a jack-of-all-trades, master of none sort of idea?

Such a shame. And to think Mew was Uber last generation.

 

[UltiMario]

Isn't Snarl unreleased.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Pretty sure it's cool to use. That move is super legit.


This Mew set basically solos entire teams. With hazards set up, it's GG. I hit around 1300 on Smogon with a team using that Mew.
Sometimes I weep that I have no taunt, though.

 

[Riddle]

I freaking love Nasty Plot/Softboiled/Psychic/Baton Pass Mew not gonna lie.

 

[UltiMario]

But it's not released.

You can't use a move that's an unreleased TM.

Unless it's DW :V

 

[Terywj [태리]]

What move is Snarl?

Edit--Please say "Troll" so I can laugh at how awful the translations are.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

But it's not released.

You can't use a move that's an unreleased TM.

Unless it's DW :V

Blame the client, I've never had issues with it.

Snarl is a special dark move with 95% accuracy and 55 base power that reduces the opponents spatk-1

 

[Fuelbi]

I want to say that given all the moves that Mew has along with the decent stats it has makes Mew very underrated and gives it A LOT of viability in tiers like Ubers where the ability to have every move ever could come in handy

 

[UltiMario]

The client lets you use it, just the Server that's supposed to be checking.

I hope you weren't playing DW this whole time instead of OU and not realizing it.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Snarl is a special dark move with 95% accuracy and 40 iirc base power that reduces the opponents spatk-1

Huh. That's cute. Although stat-boosting is still way better than stat-lowering since opponents can just switch out, but against Mew that might be a mistake.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

LOL nope. OU all the time baby.

Huh. That's cute. Although stat-boosting is still way better than stat-lowering since opponents can just switch out, but against Mew that might be a mistake.

You want opponents to switch out with this Mew. It's based around having some hazards up. The thing is, you want an attacking move and you want to beat Jellicent. Feel me?

 

[UltiMario]

Then you were on a broken server.

Also Tery, for translations "Troll" became "Round"

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Then you were on a broken server.

Smogon and Pokemon Online? :v

 

[UltiMario]

Yes. That is unreleased to all ****. They must've just not noticed it since it's such a rare move. OH WELL.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

You want opponents to switch out with this Mew. It's based around having some hazards up. The thing is, you want an attacking move and you want to beat Jellicent. Feel me?

Ahh, I can understand that. Wait. Who is Jellicent lol.

Then you were on a broken server.

...what.

Other bogus translations?

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Abuse the system


Snarl is a great move.

 

[Riddle]

Jellicent = Pringlesmon (Burungeru?)

 

[UltiMario]

Ahh, I can understand that. Wait. Who is Jellicent lol.

Burunkeru... Pringles Jellyfish

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Ohhh. Burungeru is UU?! I thought the perfect synergy between Burungeru and Nattorei would sortof prevent that from happening...

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

"perfect" synergy

 

[UltiMario]

No he's OU.

And that core was grossly overrated. He's just a Rain wall now lol.
