[QUOTE=SuperDuperScoot;37720530]Oh, so it's NOT just me being a horrible trainer.

I was training a Sharpedo at one point and it fainted left and right from everything.
I thought I was doing something wrong.[/QUOTE]

my sharpedo isn't good at taking hits (even though the summary says "Capable of taking hits"), but i only use it as the meat in a Carracosta sandwich

[QUOTE=ShaneAlvarado;37719659]
Tornadus
Prankster
Damp Rock
-Tailwind
-Rain Dance
-[b]Taunt/U-Turn[/b]
-Hurricane

Rampardos [i]Switching him in after setting up a Tailwind with Tornadus might be tricky, as Rampardos is really frail, so I'd still recommend Choice Scarf if you can't safely switch in on an attack, or it the Tailwind support isn't possible.[/i]
Mold Breaker
Choice Scarf
-Earthquake
-[b]Crunch/Zen Headbutt/Thunderpunch/Fire Punch[/b]
-[b]Crunch/Zen Headbutt/Thunderpunch/Fire Punch[/b]
-[b]Stone Edge/Head Smash[/b]

Krookodile [i]Foul Play usually wont work in your favor if you're running Moxie, as you'll usually have a higher attack than the opponent if you get a boost or two. Most Pokemon weak against Dark attacks have low attack anyway.[/i]
Moxie
Life Orb
-Earthquake
-[b]Pursuit/Dragon Claw/Superpower[/b]
-[b]Stone Edge[/b]
-[b]Crunch[/b]

Eelektross [i]I assume you're sending this guy out after Tornadus's rain support, so flamethrower is iffy. Coil can work great to boost Thunder's accuracy without having rain if you don't like having 2 electric attacks.[/i]
Levitate
[b]Leftovers[/b]
-[b]Discharge/Coil[/b]
-Thunder
-[b]Acid Spray[/b]
-[b]Flamethrower/Grass Knot[/b]

And I had two others I would use occasionally:

Flygon
Levitate
[b]Life Orb/White Herb/Lum Berry[/b]
-Earthquake
-[b]Dragon Claw/Ourage[/b]
-Draco Meteor
-Fire Blast

Gyarados
Intimidate
[b]Leftovers/Life Orb[/b]
-Earthquake
-[b]Thunder Wave/Stone Edge/Bounce[/b]
-[b]Dragon Dance[/b]
-Waterfall[/QUOTE]

Here are my suggestions, brah. As for an exploding Cloyster, I would suggest:

Skill Link
Focus Sash
-Shell Smash
-Icicle Spear
-Hydro Pump
-Explosion

Turns out it wasn't Foul Play, it was Crunch. Also, this was for Doubles. Rampardos fought alongside Tornadus while it used its +1 priority Tailwind.

Thanks for the suggestions, though. I guess I'm still just a newbie at this, so I'll be practicing on Random Matchups.

Having Flygon's Fire Blast miss against an Abomasnow is fun.

Whoops, I missed that little tidbit there. Either way, these loadouts still work for Doubles for the most part. I suppose that Protect on Gyrados was if he and Eelektross were on the same side, and if you had to use Discharge. Alright then, I'd say ignore Coil then, and have both Thunder and Discharge, so that way, Eelektross could be paired with either Gyrados, Tornadus, Flygon, and Krookodile. Protect + Discharge with Gyrados and Rain Dance + Thunder with Tornadus, and Discharge + Earthquake with Flygon/Krookodile. Keep my bolded move suggestions in mind though.

I like how your whole team is resistant to each other's Earthquakes and Discharges. Smart move.

The only thing that works in doubles imo is fucking rain teams.

It's really awful and I hate it, went to a nearby pokemon event with a team for doubles, Cincinno with after you + a bunch of slow powerful pokes (rampardos, marowak etc)

Got utterly rolled every single game by fucking swift swim faggotry. Really put me in a mood, I'd been training for literally the last 3 days.

Heh, i love using swift swim techniques. Also, using Water absorb ability with the pokemon next to them using surf while it has swift swim and it's raining.

also, I officially hate you you fucking ass.

[Arc Nova]

Of course you do Cascade, of course you do

well, there's no reason for him to be a homophobic ass. i'm just happy he's not one of the ones where i live because they have killed and hospitalized people for fun...

[B]anyway[/B] change of topic.
Does anyone know if there's a pokemon to perfectly counter the water type's weakness of grass and electric? like, a regular pokemon not a legendary or mythical.

[salty peanut]

he isn't a homophobe just for saying that, stop being retarded please

Any Dragon-type or a Steel-type like Magnezone resists both pretty much okay

[DrZoid]

I need to train before fighting the elite 4 (all of my pokemon are between level 40 and 45), where would be the best place to do that?

[KStyleAzure]

Every compfag who legit uses Swift Swim / Drizzle is a terrible person irl

[CascadeBadge]

[QUOTE=Jorori;37739169]Any Dragon-type or a Steel-type like Magnezone resists both pretty much okay[/QUOTE]

..i completely forgot about the grass and electric type advantages.
so, should it be Magnezone or Ferrothorn?

[Arc Nova]

Pick your favirotes, jesus. you're unoriginal and boring

[QUOTE=Arc Nova;37740312]Pick your favirotes, jesus. you're unoriginal and boring[/QUOTE]

I don't have a favorite besides Floatzel..

[KStyleAzure]

I bet you don't even use the best Swift Swimmer in the game.

i have 3 swift swimmers. Only one knows rain dance, which is the ludicolo. they're a team
Run Papa! (Ludicolo) Male lv 89 (swift swim)
-Rain dance, seed bomb, flail, counter [damp rock]
Foopah (Magikarp) Female lv 88 (swift swim)
-splash, tackle, flail, bounce [quick claw]
Aedrien (Floatzel) Male lv 92 (swift swim)
-Ice fang, hydro pump, agility, switcheroo [sticky barb]
I would've had more swift swimmers, but they're all too low of a level

[GastricTank]

[QUOTE=KStyleAzure;37739882]Every compfag who uses a weather team is a terrible person irl[/QUOTE]

Fixed. It takes no skill or effort to run a weather team. That's why I stopped playing OU.

Clear Skies isn't even a working tier how it is run now, nobody is ever on it because it isn't the default OU. If you ask me, the tiers should be "Weather" and "Clear Skies". Clear Skies being the default, and you being pushed into the Weather tier if you have a weather setup ability/move somewhere on your team.

Dragonite oh how I love thee

Finally got my 3DS and Pokemon White!

due to this image, I'd like to give out my shiny Ralts and Shiny Gastly to a random winner, however, I seem to have misplaced my white version containing them along with the next egg to hatch... Idk who's in the next egg, due to it being the forgotten egg that was in one of my two egg boxes since i started breeding pokemon together on it...

[Wingedwizard]

Go away.

How do we enter?

[CascadeBadge]

[QUOTE=biodude94566;37744245]How do we enter?[/QUOTE]
uhh, well, to enter, you'd basically just ask to enter, and i'd type in all the names of the people who would enter and an app on my phone would randomly calculate all kinda of mathmatical shit and, after up to half an hour, it'd say who wins, but i need to find where i put my damn white version... if i kant find it by saturday, the event will have to be moved, or cancelled, but if i manage to get a shiny Drillbur and/or shiny Pawnyard, I'll do that as an event whether they're bred or not.

[MegaJohnny]

I'm really bummed out that you can't play co-op on the Battle Subway over wifi. I was pretty excited to try it out with a friend. You could do it over wifi in HG/SS, right?

hgss didn't have a subway, but it had a battle frontier. ...wait, technically, due to kanto and johto being connected, Unova is the only region without a battle frontier!
[QUOTE=Maruhai;37747043]Just make a rating raffle ...[/QUOTE]

...but i like this app...that just crashed on me...
..i think i should just do a rating raffle..

[Biotoxsin]

I'll take it, don't have any shiny's on the new gens.

[CascadeBadge]

[QUOTE=Biotoxsin;37751501]I'll take it, don't have any shiny's on the new gens.[/QUOTE]

i need to find my white version first. it's on my Whiteδ (i mark the back of them all to know which one is which, and i have 3 other white versions, but none with shinies...)
if i can't find it, i might end up just sending someone a free event Keldeo..... I laready have one on BlackΩ, so, I think i can spare one (especially due to me not really needing two...)
