Your Ebelt set is pro. I love using it so much. it's a little frail, but it hits hard enough to make up for it.

Hm, expert belt Genesect never crossed my mind, just scarf, specs, and life orb. But really, expert belt can work on just about anything that uses those second two items, so I could certainly see it working as a well breaker.

Kind of like the first time I used a Hydreigon to catch steel types off guard. No one saw life orb damage, so they just assumed it had a choice item back then.

[Avicii]

That is the coolest spider ever. Period.

Ugh omg NO. I hate spiders fmllll.

Can I see it?

[Zachmac]

Can I see it?

It's most likely just a standard Genesect set with an expert belt. Nothing special, but I can see it's uses.

Literally all but one of the Genesects I've seen have been scarfed and I bet I'm not the only one seeing that. Something like an Ebelt could throw your opponent off their game thinking they have a free switch haha.

But it's so cool....

Genesect @ Expert Belt
Trait: Download
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SAtk / 192 Spd
Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- U-turn
- Thunder
- Ice Beam
- Flamethrower

it's great, cause you can feign a scarf set, and then just whack them with another SE hit.

Rock polish off a switch is amazing though.

This goes for me to i really dont care however i suggest every leader does a purge so we can then check to see what division had the least sound good?

Probably a good idea actually

You're missing some speed evs lol

Indeed it is, then you outspeed everything and have amazing coverage, provided you take out the opponents heatran/chansey/other counter depending on moveset, you can sweep entire teams, which is what I do =]

[Zachmac]

Hm...it probably is. With +2 speed, it could probably get away with a modest nature.

Man, that thing would hit downright hard. I may make a team around one of those guys in the future.

[Soperman]

At least you guys are good enough to say that you want more good members, and to be able to *tell* who's good or not. v_v

Me, on the other hand... I don't think I'm good enough to do anything remotely like that.

So at least take pride in the fact that you're a good member of CG, and if you get *robbed* of somebody or whatever, use that as incentive to work harder to kick more people's butts and become *the* best in CG. Not use it as a point to bicker and complain.

At least, that's my view. Take it or leave it. It's all I'm going to say about it.

You're not bad, you're just not one of the veterans in the clan.
Besides that, I agree with this wholeheartedly.

Edit: My sister thinks it's weird....she doesn't understand me. D:

And that's why we're here

It's not, people misinterpreted a joke and used it as an excuse to voice their opinions.
Just decided to fully read this, Jhen is active enough on PO over the weekends to receive a higher grade than Psycho and Jhen. From what I can tell, it's more like Magic / Aeon - Jhen - Soper / Psycho.

Whenever I go on, everyone is either away or busy. It's less of me being inactive and more of me going on at bad times.

how about them genesects?

They can all go back to not existing. They're so annoying T_T
Honestly, the only real success I've found against them is with ScarfNape. Without him, I would have lost a lot more battles.

I am thoroughly terrified of you now.

Beware the evil Ditto which can own you, since it can get +2 speed and +1spatk(if you got that boost) then another download boost for when it transforms. Essentially giving it 2 dragon dances

[Rhonder]

NEVER!!!!!
.....
....
sooooo
how about them genesects?

So obnoxious I hate them x_x They outspeed like... everything on my team and wreak havoc. Luckily my starter can usually take the first U Turn (despite being psychic type) but it does like 60% and takes away a lot of it's bulk for later. And the biggest problem is that they're every where, so it's not just like an occasional problem, it's super common. In short I've never used one, but I find them highly obnoxious, so blehhh

[Magicmonkey]

d bray was never a frontier brain and magic isnt the best, prohawk or i are with magic right behind, no offense magic, its very close

At this stage team match up and luck are far more important than skill.

I believe Mazz is in emerald, and correct me if I'm wrong, but Mazz is easily war team material.

He hasn't worked towards getting on the team though.

1 I was never a frontier brain nore will I ever be.

2 monkey isnt the best battler In the clan by far mazz or prohawk or Mcdanger are all better.

3 care factor really for the division anymore isn't really there, I only had a problem with being put in one and that decision being overruled by another.

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

You can get modest with +2 speed and still beat scarf latios with minimal investment.

Like you said the other day on PO. It's really just that 1 hax or crit that makes all the difference. I wouldn't say I'm better than Magic, but saying Magic is the best in the clan is a false statement. There are many people who can hold their own against Magic, Mcdanger, myself and our other really strong members. Magic has it right when he says it comes down to team matchup and luck at our level. As far as skill goes, there is no person with a clear advantage


Also, if you're going to do on-record battles, please ask what division your opponent is in. Battles don't get counted if they don't have their division down

Right you are, you can add me to the slaughter-at-RU list too. I did mean OU though, since most battles take place in OU

Lost my match against Pro and Torm due to incorrect EV placement, I would appreciate it if you didn't count it against me. And then I lost because of hax, it's not my day today.

STILL, MY MONOTYPE TEAM SHALL DEVOUR ALL!
