Nitpick: Teammates & Counters: <p>Where do we start? The first thing to remember with building a team with Haxorus on it, like with all other Pokemon, is to remember its purpose. Seeing as this set is built to wreck stuff, it makes sense that there should be someone to clean...

But she's not 'ripping them off', they were just the stars she listened to growing up; stars who share her tastes and ideas. The influences of Madonna and Bowie are evident in Gaga's work, but it's not like she's trying to emulate their careers. It's called an INFLUENCE, and it's ridiculous to...

Yeah, my point was that it doesn't matter that Lady GaGa is visually similar to other models, actresses or performers, my point was that true originality is almost impossible to achieve in this day and age, and that it's her unique status in the pop landscape that makes her notable. Those images...

Yeah, U2 and Oasis have that irritating 'obscenely popular stadium band' thing that renders them devoid of any personality or intimacy with their fans, and a lot of their music comes across as hopelessly cheesy. If they were a little more modest and a little less gigantic I think they would be...

Kanye West's talent definitely doesn't lie in his publicity, singing voice, ability to perform or even his ability to rap, rather, Kanye is able to make albums with excellent levels of depth, wonderfully composed songs and well developed themes even though he lacks any sort of raw ability; he...

Nickelback, 30 Seconds To Mars, 50 Cent, Just about any emo/screamo/metalcore band, any 'pop metal' (Disturbed...), Linkin Park, Good Charlotte, Jay Sean... To me, these artists cause near-physical pain with their terrible music, public personas, and/or image. I'm a firm believer that you can...

Oh my Goddddddddddddddddd I am absolutely loving Robyn's Body Talk Pt. 2. She collaborates with Snoop Dogg on a song called U Should Know Better which it makes California Gurls seem (even more) pitiful as far as Snoop on Pop songs goes. Body Talk Pt. 1 showed us a funky, more experimental...

Mmmm, I can definitely see /\/\/\Y/\ becoming more relevant in retrospect, some albums are definitely better appreciated in context of their present work, so let's just hope that M.I.A.'s evolution sees improvement... I have to say that I'm not one of the legions of people that say CCII is a...

@ Wishy I'm really kind of disappointed with M.I.A.'s /\/\/\Y/\, it kind of just sounds like a whole album of filler. It has the M.I.A. sound, but it lacks the personality of Arular and Kala. It's not nothing on older songs like Amazon, XR2, World Town, Bamboo Banga, $20... Big Boi's new album...

New Crystal Castles :DDDD And I'm hearing that Florence + the Machine are making a new album this year? (:

Well yeah, I usually switch to Ho-Oh against Rayquaza leads, but end up being 2HKOed by Draco Meteor + Outrage. >.<; And the thought of throwing my team's core sweeper into a sleep move and then going straight to a choice Pokemon against a lead is never great. So maybe Lum Groudon is the best...

Thanks for the advice! The changes you've suggested are good, but from my testing I'm finding that Forretress isn't proving to be a very good lead. It can't do much to Darkrai, it can't do much about getting taunted by things that aren't weak to payback and it falls to any lead Mewtwo, Rayquaza...

Hi. I'm a regular on Shoddy who usually sticks to the OU and UU metagame, under MissHawthorne, but recently I've become more interested in the unstable realm of the Uber tier. I've been messing around with some established uber teams to equate myself, such as Deep Thought's Shadows and Dust...

I think you'll find that Smeargle, Skarmory and Togekiss are all OU Pokemon, contrary to your title. It really isn't that hard to find out what tiers different Pokemon are in, so your excuse should be interesting...

Nitpick; I think you'll find that Magnezone has base 130 SpA, not 135 as stated here.

I'm curious; are those Christians that claim that God is Omnipotent/present/benevolent also of the belief that homosexuals and homosexuality is wrong? (READ: "God hates (BAN ME PLEASE)"). [And also why would God create people who are naturally of a 'hated' 'wrong' orientation?] Call me crazy, but I think...

Just wondering why you'd want to change the fantastic Steel/Bug typing into the awful (OU metagame-wise) Steel/Rock typing? And 100 HP / 120 Atk / 150 Def / 100 SpDef? o_o;

Just a nitpick; this team would be more accurately named an Offensive, or Bulky Offense Team; "Hyper Offense" as a general rule of thumb does not utilize Choice Items, as the point of Hyper Offense is to reduce prediction. This team has 3 choice items. Hyper Offense also tends to use set-up...

Spiritomb is pretty much the best Alakazam counter in the entire game, only really fearing trick. Since Spiritomb's UU I don't see Alakazam being too much of an issue. Am I the only one happy about Roserade leaving? It's not like the wonderful Venusaur doesn't exist.

The EV spread on Starmie guarantees survival from a +1 LO Adamant Gyarados' Earthquake or Stone Edge after Stealth rock damage, so splitting the EVs would lose this. Also, Heatran's unboosted fire attacks won't be easily beating Starmie without special defense EVs, and with special defense EVs...
