yeah counter it's weakness!!

Because it's fun to watch the occasional idiot use earthquake on your levitating Bronzong.
Apart from that though, no. Thanks to how many people run levitate on Bronzong, I'm pretty sure that for the most part you're going to actually have an easier time running a heatproof'd Zong as compared to levitate'd. Just try it out and see how it goes. ^.^ But chances are there will be a lot of WTF moments for you because of mindgames on their fire type. Leaves them open for an EQ too, if your Zong runs it.
Hurray for mindgames! :D
I almost always throw an EQ at a zong, just to check. I dont think most people do though, so you should be safe using it- however, if someone notices you switch in and take spikes damage, get ready for the pain.
on a different note-
Yea, he made a Dethklok reference.

WHAT? SERIOUS!?
I already carried a love (in a completely heterosexual way, of course)/respect for Umbreon just because of his name, BUT NOW!? That's all been multiplied by 10. Yeah, that's right. 10. I love Dethklok like Doctor Rockso loves cocaine...
Sorry for that reference, but I just HAD to do it. <3

dethklok sucks, it's soo boring and not funny, anyways does anyone have any good movesets for a Blaziken?
Excited for the new season, and CD? and whats your favorite song?
Fan Song, Duncan Hills Coffee Jingle, and Mermaider.
Dethklok is my top 3 favorite bands.
Circa

So there is going to be another season then? I usually sleep early, so I always miss when it's on...I buy the season DVDs, though. And I have the first CD and am DEFINITELY getting the new CD if I have the money for it when it comes out. <3
Favorite songs would probably have to be...hmmm...Murder Train A Comin' (Bluesklok is my favorite episode), Murmaider, and I've always liked Briefcase Full of Guts for some reason. Not sure why, though.
It's stupid, dark humor. That's like a double whammy, almost a triple if you really love dark humor like I do. Maybe you just have a bad sense of humor. <.< And as for your Blaziken set, I'm too tired to come up with one right now...but this should help?

hoe could u think thats even close to funny. soo boring and not even entertainment. but at least it isnt as bad as Ellen Degeners or whatever that persons name is.
i'll check it out. i want a really strong blaziken

I've considered downloading some dethklok songs on several occasions... any suggestions for starter songs? I usually don't like that genre, but Dethklok has something different about them that I like.
Anyway, back on topic: is there any reasonably well-made guide to secret power effects? I've kind of been interested in it recently...
I might work on a few blaziken sets, and don't worry everyone, this time I have plenty of experience with it. See my failure at covering tangrowth as an example of not knowing the pokemon and shoddy deprivation.

Duncan Hill Coffee Jingle, Fan Song, Murmaider, (possibly) Awaken, (possibly) Thunderhorse, Face Fisted (I love how horrid his English is in this song). Anything Dethklok is pretty decent, but those are probably the more mainstream/brilliant ones.
A guide for its effects can be found here. Bulbapedia is quite a wonderful guide for basically anything Pokemon, so it might be useful for you (and anyone else who hasn't) to bookmark it.
Do you have any clue as to why Shoddy isn't working? I don't know how much it'd help (chances are you've already tried it as it is), but you could always completely uninstall it and then try it over again. Other than that, I can't really think of anything to solve the bug problem.

Yeah, bulbapedia is pretty much the ****.
Nvm about shoddy, it just started working again.

Well...this IS a Q&A thread for ALL Pokemon related questions, so I figure I might as well ask it here...Yeah, bulbapedia is pretty much the ****.
Nvm about shoddy, it just started working again.
Do you still have that UU team that you were thinking was doing decently well? If so, then do you want to have a UU battle? I finally found something that I likey that seems to work for me, and I want to see yours. :D
EDIT: Actually...I'll wait on that. It's past midnight now and I really need the sleep.
Later maybe? God I'm such a spammer in the Poke Center...I'd love to know how I end up off topic so often. D:
i generally use serebii, but its been slow recently- and for Blaziken, he has a great movepool, you shouldnt need secret power.
He has awesome stats and great moves, but his speed is ****. His great pool allows for a great variety of sets, and as such we should all be blown away by the blaziken set. When used properly, he only has 2 or 3 real counters, so what im saying is....... impress us? If you can do it with any pokemon, Blaziken is one of them. He is a UU that can easily fight with OUs- do a good job on him!

I'll try... probably won't finish tonight...
btw I wasn't suggesting secret power on blaziken, just wanted to know what it does XD.

ummmm... nothing worth noting, as far as i am aware.
Generally there is always a better move.

probally does nothing useful
Circa
Smash Champion
Idk...I could probably find reason to use it in a noncompetitive atmosphere.
Hell, I could probably find reason to use it in a competitive atmosphere as well as long as it still gives some sort of status ailment...But then again, I'm also the one that runs a lead in UU that people would probably flame me for if they ever saw its moveset.
EDIT:
Q: When running a choice banded Sharpedo in UU, is Adamant or Jolly nature more ideal? Right now I'm running adamant nature for optimal attack when using aqua jet, but I seem to be seeing quite a decent amount of grass types, and sometimes it can't outrun when I need to use ice fang. If you want to know what its ATK and SPE are when running the two different natures, they are...
Adam: 558 ATK/289 SPE
Jolly: 508 ATK/317 SPE
I'm thinking the jolly nature is better for the non-priority moves, so I'll probably go with that. I was just wondering other people's opinions on it.

what do the scarfs really do?? i havent gotten a chance to read about them

Sharpedo- Jolly- you want all the speed possible, because if you get hit your probably dying. Outspeed and whack hard, and a banded Sharpedo does that well. Max speed.
Choice Scarf- Multiplies users speed by 1.5, but user is locked into one move, until switched out
Choice Band- Multiply users attack by 1.5, but user is locked into one move, until switched out
Choice Specs- Multiply users Special attack by 1.5, but user is locked into one move, until switched out
Choice Item users are usually noted for coming in, hitting hard, and retreating. Some old notable Choice Items sets are Scarfchomp, SpecsMence, and currently Banded Scizor and Scarftran are pretty big.

Alright. I figured as much, I was just making sure. Thanks for the input.
I'm not entirely sure if he meant choice items, or the scarves used during the super contests. D: I was pretty sure everyone knew what choice items did, so I was assuming it was the things for super contests, in which case I don't even know what EXACTLY they do. I just know they raise your likability or whatever. How much it raises it by though, I don't know.
Probably an EndRev/SubRev w/SD, but I'm not entirely sure how viable that is with Priority moves and Scarf'd Pokemon running rampant.

Smash Ace
how will Scarfing a pokemon help me in the long run?
Circa
Smash Champion
Scarf something that has a high ATK or SATK and a good offensive movepool, and you've basically just given yourself an extremely fast sweeper. And in competitive play, you're generally going to be switching enough as it is that any choice Pokemon isn't really going to be hindered by using one specific move for just a single turn too often. The only time it really would be is if it's your last Pokemon, and even then it can still put up a pretty decent fight most of the time.
So honestly, if you know how to work one or two choice users into your team, they're really not bad at all and can be extremely reliable at times.
woody72691
Smash Ace
so my blaziken with a sassy nature with flare blitz skyuppercut earthquake and thunderpunch will be a sweeper?
woody72691
Smash Ace
nice thats very useful
Circa
Smash Champion
This is a very good option, as that means you can lower its speed EVs a bit so the only thing non-scarfed that will outrun you in OU is Ninjask (which it would not matter what set you use). The other option you can use is an Adamant nature with choice scarf and 240 speed EVs. This sets your speed to 384, which outruns everything unscarfed apart from Ninjask, Electrode, Jolteon, Aerodactyl, and Crobat. That may sound like quite a few, but you'll rarely run into Electrode, and Ninjask, Aerodactyl, and Crobat are most commonly seen as leads, which your Blaziken probably won't be. That mainly just leaves Jolteon to deal with, which isn't too bad if you ask me. And you'll have a higher ATK, which just speaks for itself with how that helps.
i believe the generic Scarfed Blaziken set runs at 212..... im using smogon as an example, because I dont think ive ever used a blaziken on a team.....
Scarfed 220 with a neutral nature works better, as to boost your atk / SP atk / both..... and still gives you the advantage over base 120s..... I dunno if you plan on shooting to outrun base 130s..... if your not running a mixed set i suggest outrunning 130s, but if your mixed (best sets IMO), just take outpacing 120s.
In UU you shouldnt run mixed, as you need to outpace Swellow @ 125.

well i'm afraid to use smogon because i'm afraid it will mess up my laptop
smogon is a website, just like this one.
Shoddy battle is the download, and it wont mess up your laptop. Its a simple program.
Ever downloaded a poker program, or something similar? Same thing. no need to worry.
