11.10.11 | Very nerdy list |
dammets
11.10.11 | No Hyperbeam=fail list |
Ovrot
11.10.11 | Blaze Kick
Psybeam
Solar Beam
these are the only bad moves here though |
Ovrot
11.10.11 | hyperbeam is gay move
the cooldown turn makes you open to a swift revenge kill or a enemy buff turn which can destroy you |
Trebor.
11.10.11 | hyperbeam fucking sucks
Blaze kick is essential after using overheat |
bloc
11.10.11 | Any move that needs charging or some crap afterwards sucks. |
Ovrot
11.10.11 | but that's the only place where it could be useful
speed boost blaziken could be devastating too
|
Trebor.
11.10.11 | blaziken is the only pokemon who learns blaze kick anyway |
toxin.
11.10.11 | k i hate to say it but earthquake damages water normally so idk why you'd watch out for water types. |
Trebor.
11.10.11 | Cuz water moves will fuck up most pokemon who can use earthquake (like fire and ground type) |
raggedragamuffin
11.10.11 | you got them all! |
Trebor.
11.10.11 | Don't forget about STAB kids
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/STAB |
klap
11.10.11 | bro i just surf over everything |
toxin.
11.10.11 | yea but if you're like a fucking venusaur who can learn EQ you're good
actually lots of misinformation here but it's pokemon so list rules anyways |
Trebor.
11.10.11 | bro speak up if you see any mistakes
|
toxin.
11.10.11 | Extremespeed BP is 80
ice beam not SE against rock but i guess it doesn't matter since 1st gen all rock types are party ground
iirc rock slide is BP 75
Strength is garb (k this is opinion but come on BP 80 no SE and no STAB unless you're a shitty normal type)
by sheer power gunk shot is the strongest poison move but sludge bomb is more accurate so w/e floats your boat
also blaze kick rules i'm glad you have it here |
Trebor.
11.10.11 | Yeah, I didn't know all of the attack power numbers by memory |
ffs
11.10.11 | yeah sure ill learn fire blast ewhen my flamethrower fucks niggers up anyway. Not |
toxin.
11.10.11 | Also Solar Beam on Groudon and Thunder Kyogre (both 100% acc 120 BP single turn move) rule m/
list could use more Outrage though |
Trebor.
11.10.11 | Damn, I forgot outrage and thrash |
toxin.
11.10.11 | it's ok. it's kind of sad that i know it all but pokemon rules and it's back in fashion at my school anyways so i look cool for playing (idk how that even happened but it did. i think my friends and i brought it back retro) |
Masochist
11.10.11 | "OK Alakazam is one bad motherfucker in red and blue. He will kill almost anything in one hit and there are no dark type and ghost doesn't effect psychic."
Ghost type moves are, and always have been, super-effective against Psychic types. There were just two problems with this in Red: one, the strongest ghost-type move that did regular damage was Lick, which was something like 20 base power (Night Shade's damage was equal to your level); and two, the only ghost-type Pokemon in Red were all also half-Poison, so they were weak to Psychic type moves anyways.
But yeah. Five generations on with absolutely no changes to it whatsoever, and Earthquake is STILL the best move in the game. Also love Megahorn, Crunch, Surf, Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, Psychic and Brave Bird. Also love Lugia and Ho-Oh's signature moves (Aeroblast and Sacred Fire). |
Trebor.
11.10.11 | Alakazam is insanely good in red and blue
Bulbabedia is such a great website when you're bored |
Masochist
11.10.11 | One thing I've learned by using it: never underestimate a Lilligant with Quiver Dance, Petal Dance and Own Tempo. Quiver Dance raises her Spe. Att., Spe. Def. and Speed all at once; Petal Dance is a 120 BP grass move that works off of Spe. Att., and the ability Own Tempo stops her from getting confused when it's done destroying worlds. |
toxin.
11.10.11 | Fucking yes Aeroblast rules. How did I forget that?
Pokemon 2000 (the movie) Lugia fucked shit up with Aeroblast |
IAmHollywood
11.10.11 | needs more swords dance |
Trebor.
11.10.11 | You guys know way too much |
BallsToTheWall
11.10.11 | Bubblebeam is my favorite. Love Icebeam, Body Slam, Flamethrower and most of all Drill Peck. |
bloc
11.10.11 | "Bulbabedia is such a great website when you're bored"
I'm more of a serebii.net fan haha |
Ovrot
11.10.11 | you don't know enough Treb
|
Trebor.
11.10.11 | I love serebii too |
BallsToTheWall
11.10.11 | Dig is also pretty rad. |
toxin.
11.10.11 | dig gets bonus points for getting you out of fucking caves if you didn't have escape ropes |
Masochist
11.10.11 | Yeah, dig Serebii the most. For competitive battling, though, it's gotta be Smogon.
Drill Peck has always been one of my favorite moves. I love that Zapdos learns it; gave him an edge over the other birds (because as much as I hate to admit it, Sky Attack sucks). |
Masochist
11.10.11 | The one Steelix I ever decided to train (back in Gold) did surprisingly well with Dig. And Donphan does well with it too until it learns Earthquake. |
Trebor.
11.10.11 | I always thought it was crazy that they gave you a move as good as thunderbolt right after the 3rd badge
That took it out of fire red and leaf green though |
toxin.
11.10.11 | Smogon rules, does anyone else play lol |
BallsToTheWall
11.10.11 | Moltres was a pussy, ugly as hell and had weak ass moves. Clearly the weak link of the birds. |
NeutralThunder12
11.10.11 | earthquake is the best move if used correctly. in 1st gen any ice/water pokemon was great because so many types were weak to ice and water |
Masochist
11.10.11 | I don't. I should, but I don't. I once thought about building a team for Smogon Battling, but it was too hard to try and pick which Pokes should go where, and who should be in which role. |
Trebor.
11.10.11 | Lapras is my favorite pokemon in red and blue
And Alakazam of course |
BallsToTheWall
11.10.11 | Lapras came too late in the game to be relevant. Tauros were so goddamn impossible to cacth in the safari zone. |
Trebor.
11.10.11 | Bro, you can get Lapras before the 5th and 6th badge, that's not that late |
Masochist
11.10.11 | I started with Gold, but my favorite Pokemon is and has always been Gyarados. REALLY happy he finally got what he wanted in the 4th generation (physical water attacks). |
Trebor.
11.10.11 | Hell yeah |
BallsToTheWall
11.10.11 | It is late broooo. At that point your pokemon are around level 35, Lapras is 20..........nuff said. |
Trebor.
11.10.11 | It doesn't take that long to go from 20 to 30-35
Just go to that area with the birds and fuck em up with ice beam |
Trebor.
11.10.11 | I always felt like the game cheated me when it came to confusion
Like I would hurt myself in confusion every turn, and the computer opponent rarely would |
BallsToTheWall
11.10.11 | Confusion was the most annoying even moreso than toxic or poison gas or any paralyze move. |
Ovrot
11.10.11 | i play toxin |
toxin.
11.10.11 | "I don't. I should, but I don't."
It's pretty easy to pick up if you lurk on Smogon enough and watch youtube videos or w/e
I got up to like 1330 points which was like #65/35,000 from a pretty good rain team before fucking Tornadus got banned and I replaced it with Gengar which is good but not good enough
It just gives me something to do when I have no work, my friends are busy, and I'm just browsing Sputnik/Reddit/Facebook or whatever
Kinda like right now except I have some work to do |
toxin.
11.10.11 | Ovrot, hell yeah |
Masochist
11.10.11 | What did Tornadus do for you? |
toxin.
11.10.11 | I meant fucking Thundurus my bad.
Nasty Plot/ T-Wave (Priority T-Wave was fucking helpful against bitch ass sweepers [i'm looking at you Dragonbitch])/ Thunder (100% in rain)/ Focus Blast (fuck you ferrothorn) |
Ovrot
11.10.11 | I love me some RU |
DinoX
11.10.11 | OP clearly has never played pokemon competitively. |
Ovrot
11.10.11 | Shell Smash Carracosta is one my favorites from gen 5 |

Masochist
11.10.11 | xtoxin - Sucks that Drizzle + Swift Swim isn't allowed, else I'd recommend Kingdra. As it is, is/was Dragonite on your team? |
OysterizerInsomniac
11.10.11 | lol Cradilly w/ toxic, leech seed, ingrain and giga drain or something with toxic spikes, spikes, stealth rock and roar/whirlwind |
toxin.
11.10.11 | @Masochist, yeah but I mean it's probably good that Drizzle+SS is banned. Too overpowered otherwise.
I can't stand Multiscale Dragonite, so try my best to avoid it. My team right now is.
Specs Politoed, Scarved Rotom-W, Toxicroak @ Life Orb, Ferrothorn @ LO, Gengar @ LO (could switch to Black Sludge but w/e), and Banded Scizor. But nowadays I don't care enough to predict or anything so I lost a lot and hover around @1200 points.
@Ovrot what's your team? Never got into RU or NU or UU even though I should since I actually hate weather (despite using a weather team lol) |
Ovrot
11.10.11 | Gimme a sec, i haven't played in a while
|
Ovrot
11.10.11 | This what i was using in UU
Spiritomb
Venomoth
Dunsparce
Omastar
Claydol
Registeel
All with Leftovers if i am remembering correctly |
OysterizerInsomniac
11.10.11 | @xtoxin Ferrothorn w/ rugged helmet is pretty epic too, ability + recoil owns so much |
Ovrot
11.10.11 | Ferrothorn w/ rugged helmet rapes |
toxin.
11.10.11 | Hm interesting team. I think it was Venomoth that raped in RU (?) or was it UU?
Also, Dunsparce fuck yeah.
And yeah ferro with rugged helmet just shits on physical attackers but I need my ferro to get the lefties recovery since it sponges Outrages from Dragonites and Haxoruses and shit |
Masochist
11.10.11 | Isn't that what Leech Seed is for? |
OysterizerInsomniac
11.10.11 | yeah, I see why you would want leftovers, but rugged helmet owns outrage since it's physical and you could just have ferrothorn use ingrain, but then you wouldn't be able to switch out :/ |
OysterizerInsomniac
11.10.11 | or w/ egg moves it can learn leech seed |
toxin.
11.10.11 | yeah I could use leech seed, but it's also my Stealth Rocker/ Spiker. Then it knows T-Wave (my only statuser) and Power Whip as attack. Although come to think of it, Leech Seed could be useful but I really need the paralysis. |
ffs
11.10.11 | chokeslam |
Trebor.
11.10.11 | Fuck, I thought I was a nerd |
OysterizerInsomniac
11.10.11 | iron defense is really useful if you use it as a sponge |
Masochist
11.10.11 | "Fuck, I thought I was a nerd"
BITCH YOU AIN'T NO NERD?
I COULDA SWORE YOU WERE A NERD |
Ovrot
11.10.11 | Yeah it raped everything
basically a baton switcher or a special rapist
Spiritomb was a special attacker/taunt lead.
Venomoth just quiver danced and passed or raped
Dunsparce was para-flinch
Omastar could spike and could be a shell smash powerhouse
Claydol was all around special rapist with it's calm mind
Registeel was a wall with outrageous defense and status affects out the ass.
My registeel was so good to me |
Ovrot
11.10.11 | trebor you can't say nerd
thats our word |
qwe3
11.10.11 | fucking pokemon is so good started blue version again omg fuck |
theacademy
11.10.11 | I bought heartgold and played it when it came out, and it came with that digivice thing except it was shaped like a poke ball and you put a pokemon on it and its also a step counter and it gives your pokemon exp
so anyway, i put it in my jacket pocket and then the zipper on that jakcet broke and so ive just been walking around gaining mad exp and i bet my hoot hoot is like level 1 billion |
toxin.
11.10.11 | Yeah Registeel is a monster lol. I'd never heard of a Claydol using CM but I guess I haven't played UU so that'd explain that.
Also Trebor dude Pokemon rules competitively. Like after you beat the game and wait for the next one to come out just play competitively. I thought it was stupid too but it's a great way to waste time |
toxin.
11.10.11 | acad the pokewalker right? lol oen of my best friends (also the fastest kid at our school) ran with that sophomore year during track practices (inside a zipper in his sweatpants, so only when it was chilly did he actually gain XP) but after a few months it only got to like 48 from 39 but your hoot hoot is probably level 100. poor thing won't even able to evolve |
Ovrot
11.10.11 | Claydol is a monster with CM
Put on with ice beam, psychic and earthquake
CM when you can and then rape the game
downside is the numerous weaknesses

11.10.11 | STAB Bulletpunch on scizor hurts, but u need to be shot if you cant counter sczor. |

11.10.11 | How does this list not have Psyshock? Absolutely destroys special walls |

11.10.11 | "Moltres was a pussy, ugly as hell and had weak ass moves. Clearly the weak link of the birds."
Articuno is weak to almost every fucking thing |

Draco Meteor |
OysterizerInsomniac
11.11.11 | actually apparently they have this new move that's an event in Japan or something, I think it's called V-Create, 180 base damage w/ 95% accuracy and it lowers speed, defense & sp defense of the user. It's also a fire type. |
pmmets07
11.11.11 | not a fan of solarbeam. acrobatics is the best move. |
Masochist
11.11.11 | V-Create is Victini's special move, and it's the only Pokemon that can learn it so far (unless the event is a Pokemon that usually can't learn it will have it). That's awesome, but I think I still prefer Sacred Fire--100 BD with a 50% burn chance. Intense. |
tkxxx7
11.11.11 | I love Victini so much |
