On PO it works every time when in reality it's only supposed to work sometimes (I think that was the bug).

I faced an Exeggutor with Sitrus Berry and Sub and Leech Seed, it was so annoying.

Sub sets with Stone Edge, maybe?

Everyone forgets about Stone Edge :V

If i were using exeggutor I would rather just use Custap+Subseed.

Seriously. With the harvest bug it would stall out almost everything. It's not super frail and also has good spatk too, which is always nice since its speed is basically 'fixed'.

Well for the first time ever I decided to get serious and attempt to ladder for a high ranking just to see how I would do. I spent about an hour crafting a good team (I'm slow at making good teams) and about 4 hours laddering. After all of the work I managed to peak in the top 200 at 152th place with a 1366 rating in the Dream World OU tier on the PO server (say that sentence twice, lol). I would have loved to crack the top 100 but I'm satisfied since it was my very first time laddering. Plus I now have a really strong grasp on the metagame.

Yeah but it usually has such a small number of people on the server that I don't even bother with it anymore. It takes too long for me to find a match, and I sometimes get matched up with the same person, which is never fun.

Tropius now has a really cool niche it's the ultimate Breloom counter. Resists Mach Punch, Bullet Seed, Spore and Stun Spore are useless, and it can retaliate with a STAB air attack. Very neat.

I really want to post a RMT my current team is totally bad*** but I can't thanks to the tourney.
Is it the same team that you played against me or a different one?

Talking about the one you used for the first and third game of course.

The smogon server consistently has 100+ people, what do you mean it has a small number?

And at least these people are good. If I want to get good at a game I'd rather play with a small number of good people than a ****load of scrubs.

I would prefer Chomp with Sand Throw over Sand Veil tbh

it would make him much easier to counter with Tangela

in my opinion, online sims are only good for testing random crap out rather than just theorizing about them
be trollin'

Chomp with Sand Throw... Excellent idea.
**** you Doryuuzu

+1 rep

**** that, Sand Power
And DD. Raaappeee

I think all of you are nuts.
no u

Seriously though Sand Veil is probably the worst of the Sand abilities (except on bulky stuff, which become British and then ****). Any of those would be better for Garchomp. Sand Throw probably being the most obvious good one. I mean seriously, it'd be like Doryuuzu but even better. Run them together with mostly the same sets and there would probably be nothing that could stand in your way. Except maybe Ditto.

you can run both with almost the same set right now and it's still beastly

garchomp is good enough, there is no reason to make him better

You don't get it. I want him to be even better. I want him to break so much ****ing face that when I play him their computers ****ing explode from the piss that's entering their circuitries.

Get with the times man.

The real reason I want chomp to be better is so he'll be sent to ubers because I dislike sharks. damn ****ty mother****ing sharks on land

Once again, I think all of you are nuts.

But anyways I'm all up for the idea of sending Chomp to ubers. Sand Veil might not be the best sand ability but it's really annoying when you lose a match just because Ice Beam missed and Chomp sets up a SD. Get troll'd son.

Its happened quite a few times to me actually.

I really think Inconsistent should be allowed on the condition that team view is on, so at least you can know what's coming and be able to play around it (i.e. you send out a wall and double switch to something that can threaten the Inconsistent user).

Banning Inconsistent makes sense as all you need is that +2 evasion and it is GG practically.
Octillery used Protect!
Garchomp used Bla.

+2 Evasion. -1 Bla.

Garchomp used Outrage!

Octillery lost 100% of its health!
Octillery Fainted.

Where's your evasion now? :troll:
