Spiritomb@Macho Brace

252 HP / 252 SDef / 4 Def
~Shadow Ball
~HP: Fighting
~Trick

[Terywj [태리]]

Can we please stop with seeing the same Pokemon being used by the same person? -_-

 

[Riddle]

but I enjoyed using the exact same counter with one different move =/

 

[kirbyraeg]

Arcanine @ Choice Band
252 Atk/252 Spe/4 Def
Adamant/Flash Fire

Flare Blitz
Extremespeed
Thunder Fang
Iron Head

i think this works. easily.

 

[Riddle]

-Items: Choice Band, Choice Specs, Choice Scarf are banned.

Kirbyraeg needs to read the thread title.

 

[Moozle]

Nice edit ulti.

Spiritomb@Macho Brace
Pressure / Calm
252 HP / 252 SDef / 4 Def
~Shadow Ball
~HP: Fighting
~Trick
~Will-o-Wisp

Assuming that this is still the poke to be countered...

Blaziken@Life Orb
Blaze / Mild
180 HP/252 Sp.Attack/74 Speed
~ Fire Blast
~ Superpower
~ Hidden Power Grass
~Vacuum Wave

 

[Melfice z]

*resisting the urge to use mesprit*

erm....

Slowking@leftovers

Crawdaunt@muscle band

252Hp/252Atk/4HP
-brick break

-arial ace

 

[maniac200]

Leafeon@Coba berry
Bold/Leaf guard
252 HP 252 Def 4 atc
Swords dance
Synthesis
Leaf blade
Baton pass

 

[Wave⁂]

Baton Pass is illegal.

 

[RuNNing Riot]

Hell, screw the illegality, why would you ever need to have it in a game like this?

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Hell, screw the illegality, why would you ever need to have it in a game like this?

Alright.

Camerupt @ Focus Sash
Flash Fire
252 Sp Atk
~ Earth Power
~ Fire Blast
~ Fissure

That would be an example as to why there are riles.

 

[kirbyraeg]

I think he just meant why bother to run baton pass when there is nothing to pass to?

p.s. fissure always misses, and I thought choice items followed the same rule as focus sash (i.e. if they aren't required for the counter to be successful they are allowed).

 

[Melfice z]

@Camerupt?

mantine@leftovers
water absorb/modest
252HP/252Def/4SpAtk
-surf
-HP flying
-Toxic
-Ice beam

@leafeon

Charizard@expert belt
blaze/modest
252SpAtk/252spd
-fire blast
-air slash
-focus blast
-HP ice

Take this as you will.

 

[RuNNing Riot]

I think he just meant why bother to run baton pass when there is nothing to pass to?

Yeah, that. Though that does count for a lot of the banned moves.

@leafeon

Charizard@expert belt
blaze/modest
252Atk/252spd
-fire blast
-air slash
-focus blast
-HP ice

Take this as you will.

Assuming that Leafeon removes his Baton Pass to make a legal counter (and assuming it works, too)...

Octillery @ Expert Belt
Sniper / Modest
252 Sp. Atk. / 128 Def. / 128 Sp. Def.

Water Spout
Surf
Blizzard
Charge Beam

Your best attack, Focus Blast, does 45% at most. Surf is a guaranteed OHKO.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I think Melfize messed up on his Charizard. He has max Atk EVs.

 

[RuNNing Riot]

He's actually missing 4 EVs, but that's pretty negligible anyway so I disregarded it.

 

[Platypus]

All right, then. I exclude Leafeon and Arcanine. Versus Octillery:

Ludicolo w/Leftovers
Calm/Rain Dish
30 HP/ 240 Def./ 240 Sp. Atk.
+ Leech Seed
+ Substitute
+ Growth
+ Uproar
This begs for a Normal Wall.

Magneton @ Leftovers
Magnet Pull / Modest
4 HP / 252 Sp Atk / 252 Spd
~ Thunder
~ Flash Cannon

I wanted to use Bronzor, but that would apparently count as Bronzong, who is OU.

 

[Riddle]

why do we care about these points anyway?

 

[Terywj [태리]]

why do we care about these points anyway?

Because it adds something slightly less bland than the current thread?
Besides, it's not like it's competitive.

 

[UltiMario]

[The Real Gamer]

Masquerain @ Life Orb
252 SpA / 252 Speed / 4 Def
Timid / Intimidate
~Stun Spore
~Air Slash
~Bug Buzz
~Hydro Pump

EDIT: I guess I get 3 points?

 

[Terywj [태리]]

You would get 4, because you used a NU Pokemon (+3) and the countered Pokemon was UU (+1).
Platypus will tally everything up though, so no worries.

 

[Riddle]

I don't know how you possibly think that works TRG

Stone Edge does 263.8% - 312.1% on the switch factoring in Intimidate.

 

[Wave⁂]

I'm more surprised that Tery didn't bring it up.

 

[Moozle]

@ Rhyperior

Blastoise@Life Orb
136 Def / 252 Sp. Attack / 120 Speed
Modest/Torrent
Surf
Ice Beam

Focus Blast

 

[Melfice z]

Lanturn@leftovers
modest/volt absorb
252HP/252Def/4spAtk
-surf
-thunder
-blizzard
-signal beam

I just think points encourage people to think outside the counter box :/

 

[Riddle]

Blastoise is a failed counter =/

Sub on the switch. You break his sub three times as he gets down to salac berry. Once salac berry activates he outspeeds you and is behind a sub. He SDs as you break the sub and then Earthquake/Stone Edges you for the kill.

Rhyperior is the current counter.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I'm more surprised that Tery didn't bring it up.

Sorry, I kinda just ignored what Pokemon he posted and answered his question.

Rhyperior still works.

Girafarig takes one Hydro Pump and fries Mantine. Without the Expert Belt, this wouldn't work.
