Major Dash

I've only seen like 30 minutes of it, and all that I remember about it was there was this naked guy. Oh yeah, and a notebook.

I had like 5 names I wanted in this weeks batch, but I got none of them. Chances are, the people will just change their name with the next batch too.

Requiem

We hit like 6 worlds, but all of the camps were dead. I didn't see any wbg at all until war. It was just a really really strange wave.

wtf happened this past wave?

Yeah. Let's be honest.... The nobody well use Audino-M and Slowbro-M. Audino is a horrible mon in competitive, and nobody uses it in the main game. Slowbro is sort of in the same boat. Why would anyone use a Slowbro in the main game when they could be using any number of stronger, cooler, and easier to obtain mega evolutions? Also, the only reason Slowbro started getting used was the fact that it got regenerator. Taking that away is basically asking for people to stop using it.

Isn't Erika like.... our age?

So Robin Williams offed himself today.... While I'm really not a fan personally, he entertained millions.

wut u implyin m8?

I'm approaching 95 divination fairly fast. I've also gained a few random levels in farming and construction. I also tried some ROTS yesterday, and although we didn't get a kill, it went fairly well. I also thought that this was really funny.

Well..... I would be lying if I said that I wasn't disappointed at Altaria/Salamence's boosts.

I made two movesets that will benefit Altaria in both of its potential uses. As an attacker, it is obvious what moves it wants as well as the nature and EVs. I believe that Altaria will gain defensive bonuses instead of offensive bonuses with its mega. I suggested a spread that will benefit from boosted defenses based upon its current speed (which I speculate won't increase with a mega evo).

252 speed, 252 spattack, timid draco, hypervoice, fireblast, statswap/roost/icebeam 248 hp, 196 spdef, 64 speed, calm cotton guard, roost, hypervoice, toxic/healbell

Mence getting a STAB Return/Frustration with a virtual base power of 135.... WITH one of the best offensive type attacks..... EQ/DD/Claw/Return.....

Probably not to be honest. I only use it during waves, I switch to royal for the wars. I was getting chased from like 40 to 0 by a guy in nox staff, and it was easy to tank his hits in Karil's though (keep in mind that I only had 1 invent slot to withdraw food in to).

I got 98 hunter today. I also managed to get ambushed by a fc during bands, so I lost a full karil's set. However, I did manage to get a few kills the following wave, and I pk'd about 300k in loot.

That's the thing. You've got to just jump into it. As for UU, just use some things that you like or that you might think would be good. You'll quickly see what things are threats. You will need a Victini check as well as priority. You will also find that status is huge in the lower tiers and that support mons are very important, so I would recommend that you have a cleric and spinner/defoger if your team is at all weak to hazards.

Yeah, OU is just a big pissing match to be honest. I really enjoyed gen 4 and BW OU, but BW2 and XY OU is just... Not nearly as fun. So many fun (and good) pokes are just completely non-viable now in that meta, which is why I have really enjoyed playing NU and UU. There are a lot of viable low tier mons you can use in UU, but there are plenty of powerhouses to use if going all in is your cup of tea. Stall is a lot better in the lower tiers if you like that playstyle. In reality though, we won't ever have as good of a meta as gen 4. The difference between fast/powerful and fast/power enough to be good is just too great.

Honestly, I get the feeling that a lot of the things they banned would pretty much have gone straight to ubers if they weren't released alongside mons that were even more hideously broken. Even then, if it's a handful of mons that are able to invalidate entire formats... can't really argue with people wanting them gone. And that is the point I'm trying to make. This gen released like 10 mons with 150+ base offenses. If you ban one powerful thing, you have to ban the next powerful thing, then the next. People will always complain about something being too strong. Just look back to gen 5 when they tested Keldeo. It is a great mon, with great stats, great typing, and a great movepool. However, being strong doesn't make it broken. I'm just surprised that they didn't test Pinsir-M before Mawile-M. I have a lot more issues with that thing.

I'm not a fan of shiny Gardevoir-M, but I like normal shiny Gardevoir.

Do hunter before you do thieving. Both are fast, but thieving is a little bit more chill.
