Competitive Pokemon analysis and Moveset Disscussion

[Wave⁂]

The only set Jellicent runs nowadays is Specs Water Spout.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

which is absolutely legit

 

[UltiMario]

Don't trust Wave.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

"perfect" synergy

Who uses Flying-type attacks?

 

[UltiMario]

Man who uses Ground type attacks?

 

[Wave⁂]

Man who uses Ground type attacks?

Specs Swampert

 

[Wrath`]

I remember wayyyyyyyyyyyy back when Doryuzuu (drill mole thing) Was the most Op pokemon ever

 

[UltiMario]

Then it became not OP.

And then Smogon banned it anyways.

 

[Riddle]

Excadrill's banning was completely legitimate. That thing was very very centralizing.

 

[Wave⁂]

Exacdrill was OP because it has the same typing as Steelix

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Excadrill was dumb as hell and bronzong was actually like DOUSHIO

 

[Wave⁂]

I also forgot Bronzong was a Pokemon

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Bronzong or Metagross?

Although one is defensive and the other is offensive. Are both in OU?

 

[Riddle]

Bronzong was the best Excadrill counter to ever exist ever.

 

[UltiMario]

But... but... Gliscor!

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

metagross tanks dragon hits like no other, bro. that guy is legit and very underused

 

[Riddle]

I think both are barelllyyy in OU. Jirachi has the same typing too.

 

[Wrath`]

Still nothing beats Tyranitar, always OU always

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Hmm, I'll have to download Pokemon Online again to eckspearimment with the metagame.

 

[Riddle]

Tyranitar sucks, I desipise his design.

 

[Wave⁂]

Still nothing beats Tyranitar, always OU always

BabiriTar was my favorite

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Wave has anyone ever told you that nobody likes you anymore now

 

[UltiMario]

I use TTar on like every team.

What is not to love about him.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

I prefer Hippowdon myself, but I prefer stall anyway ._.

 

[Riddle]

He's so freaking slow, and his attack is honestly underwhelming. I think he's hella overrated.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I'm still quite confused as to how a dinosaur evolved from some larvae to be honest but oh well, Tyranitar is quite awesome.

I use Choice Specs Tyranitar all the time, works wonders.

 

[UltiMario]

I hope you're talking about Hippo, Riddle.

 

[Wave⁂]

Is Tyraniboah still a thing?

 

[UltiMario]

Smogon pretends its still a thing, but it isn't.

 

[Riddle]

Nah, I was talking about Tyranitar, I don't see the appeal in this generation. Hippowdon is a boss.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Hippowdon at least walls stuff. He can also recover and phaze. Ever tried the spdef version? Byebye Landorus.

DD Ttar is pretty good though. Should be used more.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Is Flareon viable in Generation V?

 

[UltiMario]

Lmao TTar has hella good attacking stats and can run basically any imaginable offensive or defensive set.

There simply isn't a Pokemon out there that can do what TTar does, especially not with the kind of nearly unpredictable variety TTar has. Especially not so while summoning Sand =p

@Tery: Flareon is worse than ever.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

If Flareon got V-Create, he would be somewhat usable.

Tyranitar would be soooo much better if he just had a usable Speed stat. In a game so dominated by speedy attackers he suffers I feel. He just always feels like dead weight every time I use him.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Welp. I still like you a little, Flareon.

Does Flygon not exist anymore with Salamence still around and Dragonite being better?

 

[Wave⁂]

I can't believe a Pokemon with a base 180 STAB move isn't OU. I guess that typing really weighs him down.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

It's the rock weakness man.

I mean, if it gets in, it gets a guaranteed kill pretty much. Pretty sick if you ask me.

 

[UltiMario]

His speed is his ONLY weakness, and it's not even much of a weakness at that. 61 is just fast enough to outspeed basically all the "slow Pokemon" even with a -spe nature (or a few more with Netural speed), and with larger investment, or even a choice scarf (ScarfTar IS viable) TTar can outpace the relevant Metagame. Terrakion and Landorus do give it problems, though :/

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Tkon gives everything trouble. That thing is dumb.

But not as dumb as Keldeo and TechniLoom, who will both be instabanned.
