Favorite Pokemon attacks and recommendtations

Big Boss · April 13, 2015, 09:01:42 AM

I want to try using Super Fang, it seems useful to take really annoying defensive foes to half health. Is it any good? Idik, discuss what moves are good and what you like using them with. I like Scizor's Bulelt Punch because it hits like a fucking truck even if it's not super effective.

CK97 · April 13, 2015, 09:11:12 AM

The only time I've seen Super Fang used was with a Chesnaught. It did a bit of work that match, but I haven't seen it used since.

Anyways, Shadow Ball and Close Combat are probably my favorite moves. Shadow Ball because only one type resists it (Dark) and Close Combat because Fighting is my favorite type, it's very strong, and the animation is pretty cool.

Brick break on scyther is the best

Nobody ever sees it coming

Verbatim · April 13, 2015, 11:24:10 AM

Belly Drum is my favorite move of all time. I like taking high-risk, high-reward strats, especially if I get to take out the high risk.

Explains why you used it in both tournaments.

I know that defensive Eviolite Golbat is a great Super Fang user.

I'm personally a big fan of Belly Drum, but only on Slurpuff. Otherwise, I really like moves that do recoil damage (Head Smash, Flare Blitz, Brave Bird, etc). The damage they inflict to the opponent is usually worth their recoil (unless you're using Tyrantrum. No-recoil STAB Head Smash > ).

STAB body slam from my Snorlax makes me wet.

Nah, man. Snorlax's best STAB move is Metronome.

Absol w/394 attack, Swords Dance, and Sucker Punch is a great combo

I love a cryogonal with max speed and SpA using blizzard or ice beam. Everyone underestimates ice pokemon, but Cryogonal has amazing stats and has levitate.

You just missed sign-ups for the ongoing Pokemon tournament, but you're more than welcome to watch the battles as they happen (we're using Pokemon Showdown). In fact, a battle between me and Comms Officer is about to start.

Yeah buddy.
Cryogonal was my spinner and spec wall for my B/W RU team, but it that ice beam was pretty damn reliable too.

CK97 · April 14, 2015, 09:31:05 AM

Oh wait I forgot that Thousand Arrows will be a thing pretty soon. Gonna have to go with that as well, you can't pass up a Ground move that hits Flying-types.

It's inevitable, every generation has done it. Plus there's a lot of other valid reasons as to why it's happening.

Verbatim · April 14, 2015, 10:41:00 AM

Decided to pick out my favorite move of each type:

Bug: Tail Glow. More 'mons need access to it. Not too many, but...
Dark: Sucker Punch. The ultimate mind-game move.
Dragon: Dragon Rage, for how its portrayed in the original anime.
Electric: Thunder Wave, even though it's probably the most OP move in the game.
Fairy: Play Rough. I like the juxtaposition of having Play Nice and Play Rough.
Fighting: Counter. I've always liked the very concept of a countering move.
Fire: Will-O-Wisp, despite its accuracy.
Flying: Mirror Move. Just the very concept, I think, is cool.
Ghost: Destiny Bond. Great concept, very useful, and it has one of the coolest names ever.
Grass: Grass Knot. Awesome concept, and it's rather useful.
Ground: Bonemerang. Stylish as fuck.
Ice: Ice Beam. Classic.
Normal: Belly Drum.
Poison: Venoshock. I think it's underrated.
Psychic: Trick Room and Rest. Always fun strats.
Rock: Diamond Storm. YEAH DIANCIE
Steel: Doom Desire. Oh my God, that's such a badass name.
Water: Octazooka. C'mon, that's fucking awesome.

And my least favorite:

Bug: U-Turn. Hit-and-run is such a boring strat.
Dark: Assurance. Fuck moves that are useless in singles.
Dragon: Outrage. Absolutely fucking brainless. The bane of my existence in the Gen V metagame.
Electric: Volt Switch.
Fairy: Fairy Lock. Anything associated with Klefki makes me want to vomit.
Fighting: Rock Smash. Hidden Machine scum.
Fire: Incinerate. For a move that sounds terrifyingly strong, it's laughably useless.
Flying: Roost, because of its asinine type-changing mechanic.
Ghost: Curse. Bring back ? ? ?-type!
Grass: Worry Seed. What's the fucking point? You'd have to be pretty desperate...
Ground: Earthquake. *switches in to a Flying-type* Overrated.
Ice: Blizzard. For trying to tempt me out of using Ice Beam so often.
Normal: Fake Out. Free damage is stupid.
Poison: Poison Powder. No point whatsoever in having it.
Psychic: Imprison. Again, useless.
Rock: Stealth Rock. Thanks for single-handedly centralizing the metagame around this one OP move, Game Freak!
Steel: Heavy Slam. It will never be as cool or as useful as Grass Knot.
Water: Only one-sixteenth? C'mon.

true
but be honest
how many players do you see using odor sleuth online?

Verbatim · April 14, 2015, 03:17:24 PM

odor sleuth is definitely not worth it lol

that's what the ability scrappy is for
except nobody with scrappy can use super fang (not that they'd really need it)

Cheat · April 14, 2015, 03:25:54 PM

I go gaga over Toxic Spikes; especially if the other guy doesn't have a poison type.
