  1. I think you can easily afford the loss of Psychic on Mew for the sake of one more status move, and also I'd say you can afford Will-o-wisp on Char over Dragon Pulse. Again, as long as Tyranitar can stay healthy (BIG question here, does it stay healthy enough without Wishes passed? does it need the Get-out-of-jail-free card often?) to repeatedly switch into threats and wear them out with one sand turn and a Pursuit, your outlook is ok. If you add the extra TW on Mew and a Wow on Char (or only WoW on Mew), I really think that the life of your opponents will soon become much more miserable. Also a burn or two help wear stuff down even more.
  2. I started writing this hours ago but didn't manage to finish it then... Anyway The short answer for Hoopa: nah. The long answer for Hoopa: nah, you will lose both speed and sheer damage output because of mixed offenses, unless you scarf it, which means even lesser damage and the unfortunate moments of the opponent bringing a check or counter you can't immediately break with the move you're scarfed in, so you give them a free turn of something. I don't think it is a problem on the battlefield, but I find it very funny on a concept level, that your team may be having some problems with the same strategy on higher speed: the base 110 max 350 speed tier is an important milestone in OU now, with the Latii, Gengar, Mega Meta (allthough the fashion's long gone), Mega Diancie, Mega Gal- oh shit, Sableye is still here, nevermind. Anyway, the problem that I see is that lacking a revengekiller, the opponents might try to play the same whackamole game with faster hit and run things. Latios is not an issue since Tyranitar, Metagross is annoying because none of your members love switching into the right one out of its stabs except Lando, but be wary of Ice Punch. Diancie can also spam attacks against you, if Ttar gets worn down it slowly becomes a problem, it screws your sweepers in one hit and it can't get T-Waved either. Maybe run Wish instead of Healing Wish if you see that the opponents whackamole you like that, to keep Lando and Ttar healthier. Other, faster things: offensive Starmie can fire a boosted and an unboosted Hydro Pump on Ttar and do some damage, allthough odds are against it hitting both, Weavile is annoying but handleable, careful of Poison Jab and/or Low Kick on it, since if it runs that your defensive backbone has an issue with it, Keldeo handles it well but it loses its Specs and some health in the process.. Your sweepers HATE Raikou and Manectric's quick escapades and Lando hates HP Ice, make sure to Pursuit-trap them well too... I really am afraid of Ttar's health, it's the backbone of the team! Mega Alakazam is also annoying... Scarf wallbreakers are also a thing, Scarf physical Kyu-B and scarf Hoopaa, but these are not used that often... I mean, they just try to whackamole you the same way as you try to do with the opponent. Gengar can hit a Focus Blast on the switch on Ttar or hit a WoW or sub and it becomes annoying as hell... I hope that Ttar can stay healthy and that between rocks, sand and Pursuit the opponent loses whatever outspeeds and pressures you. In general, I think that this team is far more representative of your defensive focus as a builder, rather than a new-found offensive philosophy About set-uppers: You can run Life Orb Keldeo with Taunt, which is great for the sub-110 speedsters that try to exploit their resistance to Keldeo's movepool. You lose damage output though, which is sad, and you get recoil damage together with the sand damage. You%

You lose damage output though, which is sad, and you get recoil damage together with the sand damage. You can also run more status (WoW on Mew? TW on Mew and WoW on Zard?) or Unaware Clefable and solve the problems like that. I know it's not the best thing in Singles at all, but I also wonder if a Tailwind on Zard over Dragon Pulse would help you both against setup AND faster threats. Too weird an idea though. PS I love this song, and that's propably because I love the character on the video that the song is used. I need your expert opinion on this one though
  4. Actually Reborn's items are not fully up to ORAS. We have made a full list with EVERYTHING in the second post of my item guide, check it out for this and all similar future questions. http://www.pokemonreborn.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=16315entry378340
  5. 7/10 that raccoon has a smart face
  6. 8/10, size doesn't matter to me, it looks very very cool
  7. 10/10 because of the sweetness and cuteness and the sweet and cute message. Am I doing the Nitori avi right?
  8. FIFA 2004.balls to the wall and noone will get this status but yes, yea, yes, yes!

  9. Happy to announce that the Item Guide Resource is ready! Moar spoiler tags with info for you to check!!! http://www.pokemonreborn.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=16315entry378340

    1. Plok

      Plok

      woooooooooooo \o/

    2. Shing

      Shing

      Well goddamn that's big.

      Nice job man.

  10. *pants, pants, breathes heavily and pants some more* Tripleposting to announce that with the great help of Njab in actualizing the Held items by wild Pokemon, we're proud to present you... The Item Guide Resource Post -Moves resource, with TMs 1-100, HMs and field moves 1-11, all Move Tutors by vendor -Held Items resource, the reformatted categorized list of all Held Items in the game -Held by wild Pokemon resource, or what started it, all items held by wild Pokemon in Reborn in categories Yes, I know I still have some formatting to do, but after intense spoiler tag reconstruction surgury, I'm pretty sure I'll apply Jericho's creme colour another day, another time. I literally had to copy the Item Guide in the first post and put the contents of the wild Pokemon section in the old and functional tags and then cahnge the titles because nothing would work. *collapses on the stage*
  11. Based Njab you're awesome.

  12. Considering the repetitive nature of your format, with 7 teams of the same Pokemon in constant mirror matches, I would actually suggest to cut down on more repetition, wait on an 8th contestant and make it single match elimination...
  13. I demand better working conditions and a txt editor that doesn't go haywire with spoiler tags.

    1. Sutoratosu

      Sutoratosu

      "You want better conditions? BETTER FUCKING CONDITIONS!? Boy, you'll get the fucking wrath of the Pinkertons, and you'll like it! Bloody Forum Unionists...always wantin' more, always demanding better...shit can't ever just be good 'nough for you lot, can it?"

      The one and only right is the worker's right! Just as our fathers were fed up from working in the heavy industries and took the streets, we will rise up and take matters in our own hands!!!

      Also Stratos, don't make me appear out of nowhere and be a rival...

    3. Sutoratosu

      Sutoratosu

      Eh, you'd be wasting your time to be honest. My skin is thick enough that I basically don't really care that much if ya taunt me like Gary Oak or not.

      And really, even if you could, anything of relevance to our current situation with the league you could use as ammo is kinda... mute.

  14. Study, learn: tale all lessons that Apophyll has to offer. When you absorb all of that knowledge, come back to recieve an enlightened Pokemon, that has gone through its own meditation and reached Zen itself. A Pokemon very closely related to Apophyll's philosophy and its leader, Kiki.
  15. Doubleposting for an announcement: First, we have agreed that Njab is indeed going to help me improving the guide further. He is actualizing my big nemesis, the "held by wild pokemon" chaos, I'm gonna add which items are bugged, he's also (hopefully) gonna check my descriptions to see if they need improvement, he corrected a small mistake in the General Goos section, we're on a great track. Also I corrected typos and stuff for the first time since August. Progress!!! And a bit tardy recognition time for Shia: they helped me a lot when the guide was made with stuff ranging like making my life with the game file that I played through E15 a taaad more easy (Giga Drain on my Mystery Egg Tentacruel, no need to raise Oddish to lvl 43 to get Moonblast, that kind of stuff, nothing remotely too much), searching paranoidly in RPGM while I'm raving "there is another Linkstone or Ability Capsule there, there is there is there is!!!", transporting me to all the Rock Climb locations so that I can inspect them for anything (and then taking me down from them, since they mostly are dead ends) etc etc etc. Oh and they were pretty adamant that I should improve the guide stylistically and that led to the way the guide looks today, and not the initial appearance (much like to the short lived v3, which was largely the initial version of this one). So thank them both for their contributions and have a Happy New Year everyone!!!
  16. Yes, I know, I gotta fix and format the full held items part too. King's Rock was mentioned though, both in the Evolution Items and the Held Items sections
  17. Good catch and fixed and how did I screw this one up? Damn!
  18. Dig. You're not digging. Or use something else, Bastiodon has two double weaknesses to gyms already present, the offensive abilities of a wet handkerchief and I won't even go into the design and pallette stuff. There seems to be a weird belief that some places give fossils and others don't. Well let me tell you something. Don't try to interpretate or make sense or superstitions out of the RNG. Dig. ...ninja'd
  19. I'm doing this for the Hatearade buddy. I had no expectations. I could say that I guessed that the Item Guide kerfuffles would come up, but I didn't hope for it. Again, it's for the hates. Other than being an annoying haxlord and perpetually confused even when I try to be very concrete, clear, logical and reasonable with you, and other than sadly having a broken chemistry in our humor moments, you know you are my bro.
  20. Story? Well, the story is that I'm useless in picking nicknames. Ody is my real name shortened, the bld part I added is because I'm going bald. I am pathologically myself and I can't not use my name in the internet too. My main server nick, entreflores, is when I wanted to get a nickname in Showdown, I had no idea what to use, I'm learning spanish and I decided to go with it because this song: Entre flores fandaguillos y alegrias nació mi España, la tierra del amor... The username literally means "among flowers" in spanish. Favourite Pokemon? W lot of generation1 and some of 2, I guess. I have an awful lot of mixed feelings for many that I like or dislike. And I like lots and lots and lots of them. What I aspire to be? After years in a country in a financial crisis, with my studies having plataued and the outlook being bleak, and me never being sure about it, well, I have no clue. Journalist most likely? Or not at all? Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn!!! Considering all the times that I have lost against you and all these that I have won (zero), and considering that it's always because of a combination of annoying things like SashLoom, Heatran, Mega Mane, I'm salty and I'm sour. Also you talk too much while at it, which I'm not a fan of. Thanks to the ignore options. Allthough, if I was winning some, I'd have let you know already. Also, avatar from Naruto? BLEHHHHHHHHHH!!!
  21. Ask me anything and I'll rip you free of charge. Realest Hatearade of this place. http://www.pokemonreborn.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=19298

  22. Ohhhhhhhhh shit there comes the question of one million euros, and many a failed exams. That's an awesome, awesome question and an incredibly hard to answer. I really can't do it right now Huk, I'll try to force an eureka moment one of these days to find an answer, because I really really want to answer that one but I can't do it right now. Hukuna-sensei got me good with this one! Stay tuned I guess mate. Other than that you're one of the few people here that can't raise the HateAbility bar at all. I know: we haven't talked much, we're regulars in completely different places in the forum, I get all of that, I am really fond of everything you've put forward though. Trust me, you're a bright exception because I'm here to be bluntly honest and I'm not counting my words, but you've been faultless. ...ok, a little bit self-decrepating, but a very tiny little bit that I can't bring myself to mind it. Trying to ask Santa for explanations or solutions, trying to beat Santa to get them, then wandering back to the town to try in a shy and reserved way to ask the people in their houses. Shit, if it gets way too Kafkic I guess I want to fulfill my personal fantasies: an orgy of sharp, concentrated and targeted violence towards anyone until I get bloody satisfaction and get the hell out of here. I'm very, very easy to piss off, I often want to be a little more hands-on with people in public spaces, I am reserved and end up boiling in my contempt. But I don't know if I could do that in such magic kafkic settings. Speaking of which, how much Kafka have you read? You're all over the map: very very consistent in what you mostly do, but not really to how I react to it. You mostly, even always, seem very very detached, I am never sure if you're being seriously easygoing, borderline trolling or just richly imaginative, but to me you've certainly a big boiling pot of "I'm not sure at all and I have no fucking idea". Shrugs and raised eyebrows and maybe yawns, you've caused them, nothing more severe though. Kinda boring sometimes, not at all in other times, like this one instance for example. I like pork, definately, in various recipes. I am stricktly a kid of the big city and I've never have seen a living pig or piglet in my life, I guess I'd like the piglets, dislike the pigs, but in the meanwhile I'll stay a kid of the big city. I like bacon without raving mad for it and I eat it rarely, in certain dishes. I love food and I enjoy bacon in these situations. Perhaps a reason for me not being mad for it is the soft climate of this place and the lighter local and neighbouring cousine. I don't know and I couldn't care less, I am here to be honest, painfully honest if that's what it is, I'm not here to lash at you but I have no idea on how you'll react to it and no care at all if you're offended. You are an incredibly avid poster, borderline spambot, something I could never get behind considering my natural posting tendencies (unless certain trivia forum games not played here), you love one of the blahest mons from the blah gen3, and I really, really get all facepalmy with your general giggles and sparks and glitter attitude. Call me murky, toxic, boring, quiet, angry, an ass, an Aas (german for corpse), whatever: I'm a polar opposite and proud hater of that super-bright attitude. That hihi on the server always makes me feel like you're giggling, not greeting somebody. Giggling. UUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!! And with that, sleepytimes and bring it on, bring it more!
  23. Almost! I deduced that because Elliot plays exclusively Doubles, the majority of the competitive scene is playing Singles and the use of Protect has just been C R I S P. Just the polar opposite of the originality in Elliot's dialogue. Don't worry, I have a second (less) educated guess on Elliot. I am full of guesses, I guess. You often are quite the complacent and cocky guy, which, I won't lie, will rub me the wrong way when you do it. And btw, you have forgotten a teambuilding workshop deep in the RMT section!
  24. Yes, I will do that one too. Ask me anything you want. I will also follow the example of Neo and Kurotsune with a twist: I'm neither aiming to be kind and respectful like Neo nor honest or exact like Kuro. I won't tell you how much I hate you, but just how much I can hate you: you may be pretty likeable to me but do certain things that send the ability to annoy me sky-high. So don't be taken that much aback by it. Or do. Rawr.
