aww.

I will probably try after this weekend, my schedule is really random and i generally only have small pockets of free time. They have 5th gen up on /tr/, I suppose?

I was looking forward to playing with people in machamp's pants though.

Speaking of that the server should have a more unusual name. Like Gallade's White Tights.

I'm getting really interested with some of the shell pokemon like Cloyster. The difficulty is getting the opportunity to give cloyster a shell break, but when it gets one, it can easily sweep through teams. Gen V online battling is still going on?

Shut up Cease Tick

I'm banned from the Beta Server so I can't ladder there.

My actual rating was also higher :3

the mummy ghost thing would be so much better if he could run focus blast/aura sphere

seriously, a move set like this

Calm Mind
Will-o-Wisp
Evil Eye
Focus Blast/Aura Sphere

would make him awesome (Evil Eye deals double damage to those who are statuses, which makes it a base 150, 100 percent accuracy), cause it's seriously the only thing limiting him

new client: pokemon-online.eu

Download section -> whatever client that's for your comp (Windows/Mac/whatever)

Beta has more people, /tr/ocketry... is something else? Doesn't really matter, I think.

Going through the process of fixing my Pokemon Online now. Can't wait. :3

Everyone plays where?
/tr/ocketry
Beta

I don't know why, but my PO keeps crashing. It only happens when I challenge someone though, never when I get challenged :/

You gonna use Dream World abilities?

I regard them as banned but some people are using them.

EDIT: Anyone know how to fix PO? My PO is crashing pretty often (mostly when I challenge someone) for some reason. Never happened before.

Denchura @ Choice Specs
Compound Eyes / Timid
252 SpA / 252 Spe / 6 Def
Thunder
Bug Buzz
Energy Ball
Volt Change

this is the greatest lead ever, seriously. it ***** everything. Awesome coverage, awesome power, and the fact that thunder has 91% accuracy makes it even better

right now, only ditto leads cause it trouble and that's only cause they're faster

Landlos and Zapdos laugh at it. Errr, Lightningrod Zapdos.

Not sure how much damage Landlos takes from Specs Energy Ball though. STAB Thunder coming off of like 440 Special Attack isn't bad though.

So what, it's like a Specs Starmie with slightly worse coverage and U-turn to compensate?

Also i always wondered: do you get to switch out after you use Volt Change against a ground type?

No, Ground-types nullify the secondary effects of Electric-type moves. So Dugtrio destroys you.

So I have some issues with the /tr/ server on PO. I know for Gen V they have broken **** like Darkrai, Latios, Deoxys, and Shaymin-S unbanned which is stupid as hell. So I tried to make a team that utilized all of these pokemon but it said I have too many restricted pokemon. I have two questions:

1. Where can I find this list of "restricted pokemon"?
2. How many are allowed per team?

uhhh, this pretty much has perfect coverage, only Zapdos resists all 3 attacks, in which i have other means of defeating it (hopefully, i haven't faced one yet)

i was semi-kidding about it being the best lead but it's working much better than i expected and it doubles back as a revenge killer

it deals like ~75% to 252 HP/252 SpD Hippowdon with energy ball, so ground types aren't switching in any time soon

Use the Beta and use the Dream World tier or Wifi tier. 660+ legends are banned, as well as some others.

Mispredict and Dugtrio kills you.

I think Landlos can survive one and attack back if it has a Choice Scarf. Same with Garchomp. I really would use HP Ice over Energy Ball due to the Dragons running around everywhere.

energy serves better at the lead position, with many ground types being team leads

i could always just get rid of volt change for HP ice
