I know I make mistakes too, but I've never posted a counter that I knew didn't work, and allowed people to just keep going past it while pretending that it worked. And like I said, I stayed quiet about my Absol, and this already happened once with my Hariyama, but this is the 3rd frigging time... no go.

I'm sorry for the oversized scary Red Post, but I was just ticked off... I've failed in my counter attempts many many times, but I atleast never PRETENDED that it worked, and allowed the game to continue...

And yes, this is a perfect example of a counter that works! Thank you Wouw. Also, I can't help but to laugh at the last part. I'm falling apart over here at that...

Well, max SpA Gardevoir Psychic vs. min SpD Registeel:

We need the mods to update this. They need to ban Choice Items (if people are still failing with their counters, then maybe they shouldn't try to use Choice Items, which have failed just as much recently), and they need to add a rule about people needing to post some statistics on how their counter works... heck, it's as easy as taking the attacking stat, dividing it by the defending stat, multiplying it by the base power (which is modified by offensive items), and then multiplying by multipliers (super effective and such). The results are more accurate than Metalkid's calculator, and for the minimum power that a Counter has to be able to do to get the win, just multiply the final by .85.

Choice items are already banned.

I agree that stats should be shown.

Updating the title to "Check first post for updated rules!" or something would help. And ****it, I have to do maths?

Ah. He did fix it. Yay.

And yes, we should be able to prove that the counter works, unless it's something obvious like (Pikachu + Thunder, Volt Tackle, Thunderwave and Charge verses a Marowak with Earthquake). Math isn't that hard to do... If too many people have trouble with trying to do it, then it's okay. But I still think people should try to be able to show the statistics for their counter working.

Also, Charm does indeed work on Genderless Pokemon. You'd have your Earthquake's attack power halved upon entry if you didn't have Clearbody as an ability....

Dang it to freaking heck. I forgot that since Garchomp was banned they decided to make Flygon OU...

Statistics really aren't necessary in quite a few cases; I didn't calc for Gardevoir's Psychic KOing Toxicroak.

Also, Da-D-Mon, Flygon is OU. (o_o)

EDIT:Also, I'm way too lazy/don't have the time to post every statistic. I overwrite everything all the time, and I'm not going to recalc everything.

Vs. Sceptile:

Crobat @ Black Sludge
Adamant/Inner Focus
252Atk/252Spe/4HP
Hypnosis
Pluck
Cross Poison
Roost

This is a good example showing that calcing everything is completely unnecessary.

EDIT: Would is also be an idea if a mod edited the first post to 'see next page for rules' while I update the rules there?

Wow, I feel like I should request a lock on this thread, all the people who come in here and don't even bother to read the rules or even check if their **** counter works is getting ridiculous. For those of you who think I don't see every single post that goes on in this thread, you're wrong.

I AM ALWAYS WATCHING

WouW, don't try and take over this thread, if I haven't done something yet it's because I haven't found it necessary, however the level of ****** that has come from the last few pages has finally gotten me to speak up.

Hell, this is half the reason I didn't want this moved to forums games, I knew n00bs would come in, take a passing glance at the rules and then post something ********, which in turn would ruin the game. If **** doesn't get straightened out, I will have the thread locked.

With approximated stats, Cross Poison is 4HKO.

Yeah, sorry about the mistakes guys. I was definitely basing Toxicroak calculations off having Sucker Punch rather than Stone Edge??? Don't ask me how I managed that...

Do I really have to say it? I resist everything you've got and kill with Crunch. With Mawile's ginormous mouth, that'd do a lot of damage.

Except Altaria obviously outspeeds and KOs with a combination of Draco Meteor and Outrage.

Really, when you post calcs post the ones that actually matter.

EDIT:And it still fails, so why bother editing it?
