Community POTW #89 - Special #4

[Kraleck]

Well, I wanted to see if I did hydreigon right. I was so close to getting a special sweeping hydreigon, but when dark pulse and earth power were illegal together, i settled for a mix-sweeper.

Now that B2/W2 Tutors allow them together, it'd be interesting to see. Why do you think I voted for Hydrei' earlier? Aside from its awesomeness, that is...

[jireh the provider]

Thats it! After a hectic decision who should be next week,

screw that Joy kill hydra from Ghetsis!

I'd vote Cinccino and give that HYDREIGON 5 SKILL LINK TAIL ***** SLAPS TO THE FACE! I'd run away from the Bisharp Assassin though!

[MetalCrow]

The switch happens before the boost therefor ditto doesn't copy the boost (also I used ditto for a while).

Another note is team preview it make ditto less dangerous in terms of surprise factor and more dangerous in terms of fearing to set up..
His precense might cause a fear to set up just like espeon when he is in team preview people won't set up like when espeon is people won't lay stealth rock so easily.

Yea, i get that now...it helps when people put it into perspective...the olny difference is that use xatu instead of espeon

[NIGHTOWL22]

I am too keen to get hidden ability ditto, not a fan I cannot get decent internet access at the moment, curse me and my back-packing ways.

but ditto is ditto, max HP, that is all you need.

Need week Hydreigon, please and thank youhttp://www.serebiiforums.com/images/smilies/635.png

Whoa, 9 pages, better comment about it...

It looks like Hydreigon is going to be the winner, so I should prepare my set...

Ditto: Sucking bad 'till 2011/2012!

Anyway, what about Kecleon next week: It's a really unique Pokemon!

till 2010 when BW was released... it got impostor officially in june 2012.

Kecleon sucks.. really it have high sp.defense.. and an abillity which is totally gimmick it make it actually bad.. Dragon type attacks-GG Kecleon also most pokemons have coverage moves and don't forget that not all types resist themselves.

It took me a while, but I vote for Hydregion. Out of a list of pokemon I like, it has a wide moveset and high stats.

The guaranteed x5 from Skill Link is great for Sub-breaking, but Technician boosts other Moves and gives you a 25% chance (12.5% each for 4- and 5-Hitters) of getting a stronger Multi-Hit Move - a really good tradeoff for analysis. Cinccino and Hydreigon are definitely two of the Pokemon that completely blew my mind on usefulness. That said, they both make good copies for Ditto - Cincc' for Physical Power, Hydrei' for Special, both with good Speed. Endurance is an issue, though, since Ditto's Base 48 HP severely reduces the usefulness of those identities. Bisharp and Scrafty are also good choices of Pokemon to become, but also have the same Endurance drawback with Ditto (plus, Scrafty has a STAB Type Advantage over itself)...

[your boss]

If Hydreigon does win, might as well get ready for some German puns :d

[Rudruma]

Ditto@Quick Powder
Trait: Imposter
EVs don't matter since you copy your opponents stats

Whats with the german puns.

[The Glorious Marr]

Okay, I hope I'm not too late because I just learned about this last night.

Anyway I vote Garbodor, the sentient bag of garbage that ate so much garbage that its skin ruptured and spilled garbage everwhere.

awesome

[The Glorious Marr]

Whats with the german puns.

Hydreigon is a pun on Hydra, dragon and drei which is German for three.
Also, Ein is German for one and Zwei is German for two.

I'm ready to push the boundaries on what Serebii considers appropriate!

[XxOshwhatxX]

Everyday I'm Transformin':
-Transform
Nature: Adamant/Modest
Item: Choice Specs/Choice Scarf
Ability: Imposter
EV's: 4 HP/ 252 ATK/ 252 SPD OR 4 HP/ 252 SATK/ 252 SPD

This set is designed to make a sweeper out of Ditto. Really, you make sure you don't use this Pokemon first and you'll be fine. This is so you can avoid nasty Lucarios, Salamences, and other Powerhouses, Physical or Special. Choice Specs/Scarf amplifies the stas even further with Imposter.

I VOTE FOR HYDREIGON!!!!
