These are WouW's rules. This is theoretically still his thread, even. We just added a point system to shake things up and gave the OP to someone who was more active.

I think this works. Lum for Toxic, everything else 3HKOs (I think) and I can KO w/ EQ. Lolcrappyset

Uh, what's the nature? Whatever, Nidoqueen's got this.

Nidoqueen @ Leftovers
Poison Point / Impish
252 HP / 96 Att / 160 Def

Earthquake
Stone Edge
Crunch
Protect

I can switch in and 3HKO you if you decide to curse up. If you decide to attack, you 5HKO or something. Probably more than that. Cursing up doesn't help you very much at all.

Yeah, sorry about that. Typo obv. It's a Careful nature (it's just a standard Curser set anyway), so it doesn't make a difference to your counter.

OU was banned. I think BL too.

Couldn't use the same pokemon for certain amount of posts.

OU and BL Pokemon aren't necessarily banned now, they're just banned in the sense that you get lower points for using them to counter than if you would use a NU Pokemon. It's all in the interest of fairness.

And people being lame and using the same Pokemon twice on a page is their problem. We can't really do anything about it.

Gligar @ Leftovers
252 HP/252 Spe/4 Atk
Jolly/Hyper Cutter

Taunt
Toxic
Earthquake
Roost

Flamethrower does 49%, so I can use Roost to gradually recover up to full health. Rinse and repeat as I attack you (HP Grass will never hit me super effectively since you're still faster). I can toxic you and stall for damage or gradually wear you down via EQ, even when you're at +1 SpAtk.

edit: lol dugtrio. this still works. and at least look up what berry resists grass-type moves XD (rindo).

It's a shame Gligar counts as an OU Pokemon.

Please read the rules. You don't have any EV spreads listed at all. It's in your better interest to put EV's on there. But whatever.

NFE Pokemon count as the tier of which their evolved form is. Gliscor is OU.

So...do I counter the Weezing or the Tyranitar? I was just going to counter the Weezing, but if the Tyranitar is up then I'll counter it instead...

Hitmonchan @ Muscle Band
Iron Fist / Adamant
252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def

It really does suck that he doesn't have a more awesome movepool to abuse Iron Fist. :(

Edited because I didn't factor in residual damage from Sandstorm.

You 3HKO with Focus Punch while I can burn you and recover my health with Pain Split. Then I take pitiful damage from the rest of your moves and I can spam Fire Blast or Thunderbolt until you die (3-4HKO or whatever, fast enough to kill you).

Smogon Dumped this rule like two years ago for a reason.

+1 for NFEs counting as NU, unless they're in a higher tier already (Ex Chansey in UU)
