Dunsparce is viable.

 

[choknater]

Bidoof will be viable in ubers.

Oh wait, he already is.

Poor Bibarel, Glalie, Octillery. And Freakin Smeargle. Smeargle is waayyyy uber with Moody.

Protect / Substitute / Defense Curl / Rollout

 

[Wave⁂]

I think I'd rather have Rest over Defense Curl.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I think I'd rather have Rest over Defense Curl.

Pfft. Why Rest when you'll just dodge every attack anyway.

 

[Wave⁂]

You can't dodge Toxic Spikes

actually that's a lie

I'm a liar

 

[choknater]

rollout is one of the worst moves in the game

moody does not ++accuracy

 

[Wave⁂]

Wait, it doesn't? I was going to bring that up, but I wasn't sure.

 

[Firus]

moody does not ++accuracy

Smogon and Bulbapedia both say it does.

 

[choknater]

oh wait

oh wait

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Moody_(ability)

it does affect accuracy

sry nvm.

You wouldn't be saying that if Bidoof is hitting you with Defense Curl + Rollout after +6 Attack, Speed, and Evasion.

 

[choknater]

also dat +1 def from defense curl

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Not to mention the Rollout boost. Rollout probably hits you with like 900 base power. Too bad Bidoof isn't Rock-type.

 

[Wave⁂]

Does Defense Curl give you a Roolout boost if you're already at +6? Doesn't the whole move just fail?

 

[choknater]

i'm still scared of that +1 def that will give me difficulty in breaking subs.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Does Defense Curl give you a Roolout boost if you're already at +6? Doesn't the whole move just fail?

Well, you should probably be using Defense Curl + Rollout after like three or four turns of Protect Subbing anyway, so unless you're really lucky you're still going to get the power boost for that Rollout.

 

[kirbyraeg]

let's just go crazy and imagine a smeargle with moody and hone claws/sub/protect/sheer cold

TOO BAD THIS BROKEN STUFF IS BANNED. :[

 

[choknater]

sigh. hahahahaha. NOT BANNED IN VGC EH? hahahaha. ah man. the dreams.

i don't even know how to go about training a smeargle in-game, or getting such moves.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I don't even own a copy of Generation V lol.

 

[kirbyraeg]

i dunno, but you could probably focus on breeding the perfect smeargle, sticking it in the daycare to level it up, and then sketching the moves in a double battle (with your two pokemon holding Lagging Tail/Iron Ball to make sure that the right move gets sketched)? ExpShare shares EVs too, so you don't have to stick it in battles it can't win. Looks like 5th Gen pokemon learns the moves by level-up, so no need for stupidly complicated move breeding...

and i don't own a copy either, lol

 

[choknater]

hm, that sounds pretty accurate.

man, i should really use that thing. i am an artist, after all.

people either love or hate R/S/E

i liked it because the bike goes fast

 

[The Real Gamer]

We all saw this coming. Nevertheless its great news!

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Gives me another chance to kick *** with non-Speed Boost Blaziken.

 

[Wrath`]

I liked gen three because the legendarys were cool and Tropus was bad *** bannana neck.

 

[choknater]

wow. gonna be pretty epic if they go through with this!!!

 

[Sapphire Dragon]

I want to see how the new Lati@s story plays out. :3

 

[choknater]

i like the corresponding avatar.

I'm totally doing a solo-Tropius run through Emerald right now, btw. And I did a Cubone one earlier this week in LeafGreen. http://tinyurl.com/3ugvc5m

In the Cubone one, I named myself "Adams" and my rival "Jefrson" (because Jefferson wouldn't fit). In this one, my name is "Teddy" (like Teddy Roosevelt) and I named my Tropius "Big Stick."

History nerd mode ftw.

Anyway, potential third gen remakes is somewhat exciting to me because I love third gen. On the other hand, I'm worried that there's not really much to remake...and I worry that it'll just hinder what it already is. Hopefully if they do remake third gen, they'll wait a while, 'cause it feels like HG/SS just came out (even if it was over a year and a half ago, that's not really all that long ago as far as game releases go).

 

[Wave⁂]

Yeah, a RSE remake won't really have much aside from pretty graphics, unless they can tie in Dream World somehow.

 

[John2k4]

They did a really good job with the HG/SS remakes IMO, so I'd be excited to see the next remake.

 

[Kantrip]

I did a solo Pelipper run once.

Surf
Shock Wave
Aerial Ace
Ice Beam

Ate through everything

I want to do a Chimecho run-through one time.

 

[choknater]

pelipper learns shock wave? man too good.

 

[Firus]

pelipper learns shock wave? man too good.

Yeah, I always find it funny what awesome, random moves Pokémon can learn. Like when I did a solo-Jigglypuff run and learned that Jigglypuff can learn Flamethrower, Ice Beam, Psychic...all sorts of crazy stuff. And Cubone can learn Flamethrower and Ice Beam too, I found.

 

[choknater]

rofl. gen 1 pokemon with those unbelievably large movesets which constantly expanded with every generation.

 

[asianaussie]

except flareon

 

[choknater]

ugh. what kind of fire pokemon learns smog at level 57. embarrassing.
