RE: General Competitive Pokemon Topic - Elite Projects - Jun. 10, 2014
Slack Off would be better than rest because you don't fall asleep.Slack Off+Leftovers=REALLY annoying!
IDK if this is off topic,but does anyone know where to find leftovers in Pokemon platinum and Black2?
RE: General Competitive Pokemon Topic - V2 - Jun. 10, 2014
The point of using rest is to heal from status like poison, which can cripple any defensive wall.
Platinum: Victory Road
Black 2: Castelia Sewers

Except that Slack Off only heals 50% health and Shuckle can't learn it. Rest is the only option.
I don't like using Rest unless I can RestoChesto, and I need the Sitrus Berry to regain health automatically after surviving a hit with Sturdy. Otherwise, the Pokemon weakened by Power Split will just hit Shuckle with a priority move before it can use Toxic. I also have Gastro Acid if someone happens to have an annoying Ability, or if I'm using Slaking/Regigigas in a Double or Triple Battle. The last move is Protect, because it's super annoying and can give Toxic a chance to get started on the opponent's health, at least for one or two turns.
RE: General Competitive Pokemon Topic - Kalthesuperior - Jun. 11, 2014
My shuckle is my calling card. He's my first pokemon out. I've now changed his move set to benefit the rest of my team:
Toxic
Power split
Infestation
Sticky web
After shuckle dies and uses sticky web, I bring out a pokemon that knows stealth rock, then skarmory for spikes 3 times.

Considering you don't seem to have a problem with using evasion moves, why not equip double team on EVERY member of your team?

That awkward moment when you run into somebody who is running almost the exact same team: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ubers-129644703
Well at least knowing all his sets helped for the win, lol.

RE: General Competitive Pokemon Topic - Flambo. - Jun. 12, 2014
Ahh that takes me back to the days when I was younger and me and my friends LOVED to use action replay and get tons of Lv. 100, shiny Arceus. Then we would have a slow, boring, battle. Doesn't that sound like FUN kids?

Honestly, pretty much ALL Arceus sets are cheap in a way. Arceus is ridiculously bulky, fast, and strong. If not for the Paralyze, I most likely would have swept him lol.
RE: General Competitive Pokemon Topic - Kalthesuperior - Jun. 16, 2014
I have a Zoroark and I have a gengar at the end of my party. So when I send out Zoroark, it looks like a gengar. And I trollz because everyone will try to use psychic type moves since they see gengar, but zoroark is a dark type and is immune to psychic type moves.
RE: General Competitive Pokemon Topic - Flambo. - Jun. 16, 2014
That's actually pretty smart. Zoroark is one of my favorite Pokemon. But I'm not sure if it's stats are any good for competitive play. Maybe you just have to know how to use it right.
RE: General Competitive Pokemon Topic - Kalthesuperior - Jun. 16, 2014
After that you use a move that raises special attack multiple times as opponents try to use psychic moves, then use a special attack like night daze.

You probably won't be able to use it multiple times, because the first time Psychic/Psyshock/Zen Headbutt/ whatever doesn't work they'll realize it's Zororark. But if they don't attack you I'm pretty sure a decent amount of people wouldn't second guess a Gengar using Nasty Plot.

I'll keep that in mind. I think I still have nasty plot on my Zoroark.
Anyways, what are everyone's thoughts on metronome? Should I spend all of my PP ups on it?

RE: General Competitive Pokemon Topic - Thunder Dome - Jun. 17, 2014
I never liked Zoroark tbh. The gimmick isn't really that great. I always found him a waste of a spot especially since opponents see your team before battle and see it coming.
I just love to use Infernape in battles, the speed and the power (Jolly Iron Fist 5 IV EV's Maxed in Attack and Speed). Although my team consists of a few two many physical attackers right now so I'm going to fix that soon. Probably going to switch out my Dragonite for a wall like Skarmory so I can also have something to set up spikes and annoy my opponent.

Spikes isn't that useful. You have to use it three times before it does any considerable damage. Besides, flying pokemon are unaffected by spikes. Use stealth rock instead.
RE: General Competitive Pokemon Topic - Ga' - Jun. 17, 2014
just because SR is quick to set up doesn't mean Spikes isn't useful, especially with the amount of set damage you're inflicting per layer rather than type-dependent as with SR.
metronome are you serious lmao no

exactly.
Team Preview defeats the point of Zoroark and don't tell me people won't see that kind of switch because it's incredibly obvious.
RE: General Competitive Pokemon Topic - Elite Projects - Jun. 17, 2014
While I agree with you about Infernape,Zoroark has great stats.I use a similar technique but like this:
Infernape in the back,
Zoroark in the front,
Idiot uses Physic type move,
Zoroark uses Night Daze,
Guess who wins...
Anyway,Zoroark can be a great asset in beating Caitlin and the Ghost-type user of the Elite 4.
RE: General Competitive Pokemon Topic - 6 God - Jun. 17, 2014
Zoroark's ability will only confuse your opponent for 1 turn anyways. Not to mention it's terrible stats.
