Accepted into Emerald, and you can usually find us at the Crystalline Guard channel on the PO server

So, question.


Tentacruel or Blastoise as a water spinner? Blastoise is generally bulkier, but doesn't have an immunity to Toxic Spikes, so I'm sort of on the fence here.

[BLUES.]

Yeah... Hoenn does kinda stink in OU. In the lower tiers, tho, I imagine it dominates.
Anyway, Blues has been awarded 15 RP by recommendation by me. Thanks a bunch

Take a note?

Sdef Raichi? Earthquake!

Welcome to all new members.

Yes, that is the extent of my contribution for now.

Thank you for enlightening us<3

I counted three new active members... Okay. List of good vs bad birthday presents

GOOD

3 new active members
awesome mountain-road hybrid bike with hydraulic disk brakes, front wheel suspension (that can turn on and off) and 27 gears

BAD
No power
Disney bought Lucasart (or whatever that company was called, the star wars one)(I think)


Also, I still don't have power.

Hope that gets fixed...I'll add stickers to all the coins I donate to the red cross; thus, if you see a quarter with a Gengar sticker you will know who it was from;D

I will now be taking art requests ~

Psycho, let Mankey make us a new banner? Lol (jk...or not)

ANNOUNCEMENT!!!/REMINDER!!!/IMPORTANT NOTE!!!Tomorrow's or today (depends on where you live) it's my birthday (:

Happy Birthday

If anybody cares we are still looking for a clan to war, even though everyone seems to fall into one of 4 catergories
too small to war (like 10 members, 20 pages)
has not replied
Has said no
Is team america and was whom we warred last.

I think someone should start a new clan. Some people join that one, war on day 1 of being approved, close it, then challenge TA

(21:22:39) [CG]magicmonkey: draw me a dragonite giving the finger
(21:22:48) [CG]magicmonkey: with shades

Dragonite FTW

i vote we get panicles to reopen PR and war them
beat jhen 2-1 in gigas tour

That would mean he would have to borrow part of our war team.

Read till there then stopped. You literally just said you didn't ladder because you suck at battling (his words not mine), yet you say getting high on the ladder is nothing special. I love how suddenly ladder rankings mean nothing to people, it's pretty much just a free ride for people to say, 'I could get high on the ladder but I choose not to' which is just the biggest lie ever.

I could get past 1500, but I dont try:3

I've also noticed a change around the 1350 mark, and then another (more subtle) one around 1500. That's why I made the statement I did. As for your last comment, I agree. At the 1450-1500 stage, pretty much every game I've had has come down to the wire and the result was almost always due to one person getting luckier than another or that one key play.

I've seen some weirds shiz around1400...not so much in 1350 ish, but it is more about the plays/skill at about 1380.
(Is happy he can participate in this discussion without being told that he needs to gtfo:P)

Rotom-w is a good check to both.

You should talk more

Metagross disagrees.

[Prohawk]

Metagross disagrees.

I think Lati@s, Mence and Rachi are a better representation for Hoenn in OU. Metagross can be amazingly good if played well though, usually the agility set

[Avicii]

252SpAtk Choice Specs Turboblaze Reshiram (+SAtk) Overheat in Sun vs 0HP/0SpDef Leftovers lvl 1 Paras (-SpDef): 1074690% - 1264363% (118216 - 139080 HP). Guaranteed OHKO.

It's not always an OHKO. Give the Paris a Focus Sash.

God knows Focus Blast will miss at the worst time.

Oh hey friend. c;

Don't be mad. (Kidding; not looking for a fight.)

Mence had nothing to set him apart from other DD Sweepers until he got Moxie. Jirachi was sort of annoying, but I'm not sure he was as much of a gem as the other Pokemon. I'll give you the Lati@s, they were really cool.

Metagross on the other hand sports some of the most balanced stats in the metagame, with Speed being his only truly low stat, and Agility to compensate for that. His movepool somewhat disappoints, but he's got some decent options.

Uhhh. Not sure if I know much on the topic, but I'm pretty sure he had a lot over them. He had access to a much higher power Fire Blast them then all, was faster than them all, and he had a good ability in the form of Intimidate to force switches. That's, at least imo, why he was banned to ubers in 4th gen.

Dragonite was weaker, slower, and had Inner Focus, which is only really good against Focus Sash leads. So I'm pretty sure if anything, Salamence has been brought back a few steps in BW and BW2.

Once again Avicii nails it. Mence was a major threat in Dppt, so much so that he got banned. On the other hand, Metagross is one of the least used OU pokes. His only real selling point is being able to solidly counter Kyurem-B, which to be fair, is a pretty amazing feat but not really enough to be consistent outside of that. Poor Speed and Special Defense really hurts on a poke designed to be a tank. The low Speed I can live with, due to high defense and attack, plus typing. The low special defense really holds Metagross back, which is a real shame

Wow, so many new members all of a sudden xD Welcome to both of you! I see you both wifi battle... not many of us do HOWEVER I'm currently working on building my PO team in game (halfway there so far) so as soon as that's completed I'll do some wifi matches with you (since it'll probably be hard to find other people in the clan to do them with.... >w>)

What about Starmie? When you switch out the poison goes away if you have Natural Cure (and who wouldn't)
