I have been using perish song teams since 2010. It's a great move. It's a powerful move. It punishes protect spamming, wall-spamming, sub-spamming cheese. It has a large opportunity cost (forces YOU to switch out which HURTS LIKE HELL if your opponent has spikes or rocks set-up or you pick the...

Ariados: Megahorn (egg).

Steelix isn't going to lose its ground typing, according to a certain leak. I doubted it would. It's undeniably worse than Aggron - worse typing, worse offense, worse ability... Very few positives. Beedrill is amazing, though will probably not see that much use - his offensive capabilities...

Nope. Baleted.

They were allowed. I don't know why that changed. I personally don't like wildcards, but they do make certain monos workable.

I would say, that as someone who plays monotype a lot (well, on and off), I like it because it forces everyone to act like a "gym leader" - and I like it when everyone is forced to adhere to a specific code of ethics when building their team (I'd just as much like to see a mode where certain...

Thanks for the response. It was mainly a joke idea, but if I were to ever implement it, I would never suggest it go on a Smogon/PS server. It would have to reside on its own server for the tree AI searching stuff, I know that much, it's computationally heavy after a few look-aheads.

I just wanted to nerdrage here - I hate Ferrothorn with a flaming passion. He ruins every single game for me. First of all, Leech Seed is fucking annoying no matter who it's on. But when you put it on a pokemon which is basically immune to physical attacks, god damn, is it just the fucking...

So I had a funny idea I wanted to share. I don't have the time to implement this (and probably not the fortitude either), but I thought it might tickle someone as amusing. 1. Write an autoit script (or in javascript?) so that a program can play Pokemon Showdown by interacting with the UI. 2...

I can't believe we're going to ban baton pass. Seriously? http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-123784800 These strategies are so bloody transparent it's disgusting. Does no one carry priority taunt, perish song, whirlwind, unaware, et cetera? Baton Pass hasn't changed at all this gen, if...

Thanks for the advice, I tried M-Tar, but I'm trying out Entei right now instead.

I want to start this post by saying a few things: 1) This isn't a gimmick team. 1.5) Yes, this is an Entrain+Truant+Trap team. 2) This isn't a team I just started using five minutes ago. I used it last gen too, though I've made a few alterations this gen. I've reached 1675~ just using this team...

Nothing has changed from this gen and the last gen in regards to BP besides Scoliopede getting SpeedBoost. If we're really going to have a 95 page thread on a mechanic which has been fine for as long as we've had SR, just ban Scoliopede w/ SpeedBoost. The end. Scrubs can quit whining and the...

My team is built around durant+truant+entrain, nothing else really. It's pretty easy to beat a team that counters BP. Like, I always have some combo of WW or Perish or priority Taunt... There are so many damn ways to counter BP this thread just doesn't make sense to me. You even get an...

If he has Mr. Mime all I need is fake out + knock off from Hitmonlee, I dunno how that helps his team. Also, all you need is perish song to beat a BP team. Mr. Mime is so niche... I've never even seen one in OU since this gen started.
