Wouw, I got another “Wall of Text” attack, ready just for you.
*fires*
First of all, I called them “Wall of Text”, not “Wall of Fire”. I like joking around about the DBZ serious and such, but still, I’m not some Wow-nerd who goes about throwing paper balls at people saying “Fireball! Fireball!” .I maybe immature and like labeling my long as heck lectures as “Wall of Text”, but still, even I have more of a life than that. And dude, who are you talking about being annoying, trying to insult every single thing I’ve said, despite them all being viable ideas and strategies.
Second, despite the wording I used (which I’ll need to make more effective so that it isn’t an issue again), I never once meant that Tyranitar is vulnerable to ice. But again, several different Pokémon sport both Ice and Fire attacks, and it would be stupid to think that none of them have access to both of them, let alone that they wouldn’t come across a Tyranitar at some point in the game. Also, you’re ******** if you think that people ONLY use Special Ice attacks, or Special Fire attacks. The Physical Options are just as good. But still, between Ice-Beam and Flame-Thrower, Ice beam is a better option to hit Tyranitar, assuming that it comes down to that. AND THAT was my point. Again, get your head out of your lame as heck emulators, and play the real game. You might become less smug and overconfident as you seem to be now. Can we drop this part of the conversation though? It was not needed a while ago.
Funny thing about Hyper Beam? With the right stats and specs, a single Porygon-Z is capable of going through ENTIRE teams with just Hyper beam. I kill Blissey in 1 shot, (for example) Garchomp comes in and Sword Dances, and then it eats another Hyper Beam. I’ve also seen it played out where Hypergun (my Porygon-Z) can even resist Earthquake as Garchomp launches it, which means that Garchomp’s only choice of not dying is to switch to something that can resist it, or it finds itself being blasted to the Reverse World.
I don’t need emulators to learn how to play. From doing calculations on stats by hand, to actually experiencing the game, I learn a lot naturally, and keep learning even more from playing instead of just typing in random, frequently biased figures, and hoping the result is skewed in your favor.
I know that Zapdos verses Gyarados is quite commonly in Zapdos’ favor, but Gyarados still has a great chance of winning. Funny thing is that I do know how to play, or I wouldn’t have known from experience how much damage a Stone Edge or Ice Fang can do to it. The “safest” option is for Gyarados to retreat, but again, many people would anticipate that and try to use a grass move or another option against a most likely ground-type defender. No offense to him, but Zook certainly did. One of the “game-winning” options is to take it down at that moment. I do know how to play. You spend so much time on shoddy, I’m not sure if you do.
Again, if I was really scared of a Garchomp’s Fire Blast, I’d simply use Avalanche first, doing more than enough to cripple Garchomp and prime it for the Ice-Shard. And yes, Mamoswine HAS survived multiple Fire Blasts, and another time a Fire Blast and Draco Meteor. You dangerously underestimate good breeding and experience. Again, stop the friggin emulators and play the game.
If we want to talk about having other Pokémon in the wing, then I could easily have Swampert ready for your Bronzong. But then again, I thought right now, everyone felt like harping on a want to be un-counter-able Yachechomp.
I’m pretty sure you calculated wrong, because a Sassy Mamoswine with the correct Evs still has enough bulk and stats to survive Dual Fire Blasts, especially if a basic one can do so as well. Most Mamoswine can **** Garchomp no matter what build it uses. Lots of Pokémon can in general. Try worrying about all of those other threats as well, instead of just harping on me and my love of Mamoswine as one of my best Pokémon. But the reason that Mamoswine is worth a worry is because at least 70% of them have all of the tools, natural bulk, stats, and power, to get the job done against nearly every single Garchomp. The only ones that can live are mainly those who are highly invested in defense, and a defensive non-sweeping Garchomp is borderline worthless. And without the defense, it would be rare and a miracle for Garchomp to survive two ice-moves. It’s not an Uber Dragon. It’s just Over-Used. Some people think that with the berry it deserves to be Uber, but any pro can tell you it doesn’t.
Again, you’d be surprised at the defense that these Pokémon carry, or else you wouldn’t be talking. Not to mention that if you have the right to set up as many Stealth Rocks and Sand Storms as you want, then my team would be allowed to do the same thing. But again, I was under the impression that it was just 1v1 righting, with the one on my side occasionally coming in late. Again, if you feel like throwing up those extra obstacles up, then my side would be allowed as many Spikes, Double Toxic Spikes, Stealth Rocks, Hail, Curses, Attracts, and whatever else could be thrown up. But then again, no one’s countering anyone that way. But even without all of those effects, the huge list of creatures I displayed earlier have the stats and skills to get the job done. Again, stop overestimating your creatures, stop using the emulators, and go play the real game.
Mamoswine ***** by Garchomp? Hardly. Again, if you actually played the game, you’d see that it cripples Garchomp, with or without the berry. With more than half of its health gone, and the only thing saving it from instant kill by any Ice moves (other than Blizzard or a Late-Avalanche Hintaty hint hint) already used up, Garchomp will be shaking in its Poke ball when you decide to use it again. Meanwhile, Mamoswine still up and ready to roll. By the time that you’ve damaged Mamoswine enough that it’s really hurt and in Danger, Garchomp will need hypothermia treatment. The fact that Garchomp would HAVE to run away to stay alive does kind of prove the validity of Mamoswine and the others as counters against it. And if Garchomp did anything other than Outrage, a physical sweeper would be screwed against Mamoswine. And again, all of my calculations and statistics have been with the Yacheberry in play. Trust me, from playing (and the occasional help of Serebii.net), I’ve learned a lot on how to play. Apparently more than you and those simple emulators.
And again, we’ve been talking about direct confrontations between Garchomp and Mamoswine. Garchomp using Sandstorm isn’t a smart move against Mamoswine, since Mamoswine can still use hail, and then have a 100% accurate Blizzard to 1 hit kill Garchomp, berry or not. Don’t involve others in 1v1 fights. Or else anyone could claim that Caterpie could counter Garchomp, using the help of Arceus. That’s an over=exaggeration, I know, but you still hopefully understand my point.
I'm going to start ignoring you if you want to keep harping on this point for no reason, because it's quite obvious you haven't log enough time to understand how an actual battle goes. Have something smarter to say, or just shut up. Honestly. I don't like having to be this rude or mean, and I'd have prefered the conversation stay a positive one. But I'm getting really annoyed by a conversation that's not going anywhere at all. So maybe we can get back to the OU tier? I heard a rummor that Latias will be joining it. Any comments?
