Pokemon of the Week #6
Today, I will be talking about....
The DNA pokemon,
The DNA pokemon, Deoxys-D, has a psychic typing. Weak to Bug, Dark, and Ghost. And can't hit Dark types.
The defensive stats of 50/160/160. Very bulky and will very most likely not to die from one blow. Offensive stats of 70/70/90. Decent Attack and Special Attack, but don't be offensive. With a base speed of 90, one of the fastest Spikers and Stealth Rocker. It will always gets its job done, if played properly.
Viable supporting moves of Spikes, Stealth Rock, Taunt, Magic Coat, Light Screen, Reflect, and Recover. It has the right moves to support your team. If you want to attack, but still supporting your team, there's Night Shade, Hidden Power Fire, Thunder, etc. It has a plethora of moves to use.
The items it uses Leftovers, Light Clay, Rocky Helmet, and Red card. Leftovers to recover. Light Clay is if you are using a Dual Screen set. Rocky Helmet is to make the oppenet lose some health if it contacts you. And Red Card is a pseudo phazing move, but can only be used once.
What can shut down Deo-D is ESPEON AND XATU. Due to their ability of Magic Bounce, most of the moves it uses is bounced back to you. Other things that can counter you is also fast Taunters, including Prankster. If Tornadus-I, Whimsicott, and Sableye uses Taunt, Deo-D is shut down also. And strong Dark, Bug, and Ghost will OHKO it.
Deoxys-D is commonly(in my opinion) found in Hyper Offensive teams. Due to fast and good supporting move pool, its a good poke to use.
Due to being faster, Magic Bounce, AND Baton Pass(can escape from Pursuit), it has to face competition with Espeon. It does have its perks against Espy due to learning 2 out of the 3 hazards.
Go try to fit Deoxys-D in your team now!
Here are some calcs
252 Atk Choice Band Tyranitar (+Atk) Crunch vs 252 HP/252 Def Deoxys-D (+Def) : 75% - 88.82% (2 hits to KO)
252 Atk Choice Band Tyranitar (+Atk) Crunch vs 252 HP/0 Def Deoxys-D: 96.71% - 114.47% (81.25% chance to OHKO)
252 Atk Choice Band Scizor (+Atk) U-turn vs 252 HP/252 Def Deoxys-D (+Def) : 64.14% - 75.99% (2 hits to KO)
252 Atk Choice Band Scizor (+Atk) U-turn vs 252 HP/0 Def Deoxys-D: 82.89% - 97.7% (2 hits to KO)
252 SpAtk Life Orb Gengar Shadow Ball vs 252 HP/0 SpDef Deoxys-D: 75% - 87.83% (2 hits to KO)
252 SpAtk Life Orb Gengar Shadow Ball vs 252 HP/252 SpDef Deoxys-D (+SpDef) : 58.22% - 69.08% (2 hits to KO)
252 +2 SpAtk Life Orb Thundurus-T Thunder vs 252 HP/252 SpDef Deoxys-D (+SpDef) : 93.75% - 109.87% (62.5% chance to OHKO)
As you can see in some calcs, Deo-D can get 2HKO(although, Physically Defensive Deo-D isn't that common).
Even +2 Thundurus-T HAS a CHANCE to 2HKO a Deo-D. Due to Deo-D almost always being in the lead spot, there's no prior damage

Well, it does get Dragon Pulse...
NOW FOR CONTRARY!
I wish Contrary Snivy comes out soon, same as Shadow Tag Chandelure. And totally waiting for Volt Absorb Raikou and Lightningrod Zapdos ^_^. Will Jolteon go UU if those two are release? Jolteon does have a perk of outspeeding Torn-T although.

Just been wondering... would a Dragon Dance Latios be a viable option?
When you think about it, Its attack stat is a bit over mediocre, and it draws out Pokemon like Tyranitar and Heatran who really wouldn't appreciate a +1 EQ. He also has a pretty nifty movepool with EQ, Dragon Claw, Double Edge, Shadow Claw, Waterfall, and Zen Headbutt. With Substitute, or a sub baton passer, Latios can really deal some heavy damage.
At a glance, it seems like it COULD work...
thoughts?
EDIT: I just saw the above post... THAT SNIVY O.O
I think a mixed DD Latios seems to work IMO. I remember battling one when I battled madmarine, lol.
DD, Dragon Claw/Outrage/Draco Metoer, Earthquake, Hidden Power Fire possibly?

Yeah, HP Fire seems to be a better option instead of Zen Headbutt. I've been playing around with one, and I actually kind of like it. It pretty much destroys teams when it can hide behind a sub (I've had Jolteon baton pass a sub for a while now).

HP Fire is a way better option than Zen Heabutt. You're just walled by Zong, Skarm, etc. If you're running rain however, use Surf instead. HP Fire in weatherless and all weather except Rain. Hp Fire won't do sh1t.
And it also can surprise the oppenent :]

And for the CCAT, Arceus snags our last spot! I'll update the team on third post and you guys can feel free to test it somewhere.
Chocolate_Scizor lost the final war match because someone used this Latios lol
Also, I think the wait a week thing is stupid. I think if they are back and will be active, they should be able to post right away. I understand if someone leaves, but I think this would be different.
I (kinda) won my first match with the CCAT team. Tbh, I think I could have made it, but Genesect could have been a problem. Sand kinda hurts the team with Excadrill sweeping if we aren't careful. I got lucky with a Rockslide miss.
TAKE THAT ERROR! <-- the battle. I got a stupid error, but then just went to Pokemonshowdown.com/replay and found it (:

@Yellow, video doesn't work :[. But I kind of disagree about the weeks thing. If they just come back from not posting 6 months, are they really going to come back and post? It just tells us if they really want to come back or not. For the people that leaves, yeah, they should wait a week.
@jirachi, well, you probably have to ask Eevee about that. I'm not sure if you're friends with her on Serebii though. If you could have, try to tell us next time if possible.

Say, when competitive battling, how long does it usually take?
I mean I know it varies among tiers and stuff.
Okay, let me word it a bit differently...
How long would it usually take in competitive OU battling?
Welcome to the clan flyinggurtboy.
It really depends on how you adapt to the metagame. Everyone is still learning, but everyone knows the basics. I would say for me, it took awhile xD. Maybe 3? Months. And yes, I wasn't that good either LOL. It was somewhat early when BW1 was released in America. It's just you keep battling more. It's best if you use Showdown/PO.
