Soma2035 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Noone uses discharge in OU/UU play, its usually thunderbolt or thunder since more pokemon learn it and both are stronger :| Never said I wanted Marowak to be much of a sweeper, I wanted to see if I could add him into my new after game team, and with thick club, it can have base 500+ attack on a hindering nature at lv 100. So I got a skorupi - lonely natured with snipe, bred with screech and x scissor. =s Really? Cause I personally have to say that a porygonz w/ discharge, partnered with an electivire = awesome. A speed boost for my heavy hitter while sending out damage to the opponent's pokemon fails to look like a bad thing to me. Well, be careful. The Double Battle metagame is slightly... skewed at the moment. If you go out with that sort of team, expect to see something like this happen... Lickylicky used Protect! Gengar used Explosion! Lickylicky protected itself! Porygon-Z fainted! Electivire fainted! Then as you send out whatever you have next... (Opponent's second Pokemon) used Protect! Lickylicky used Explosion! If you're not fighting an explosion team, you're probably fighting a rain dance team. Discharge has its place in doubles play thanks to being able to potentially help your ally, but it's noticeably lacking in singles play. Ray is right, if you're playing singles, gambling on a stat boost isn't worth it, T-Bolt is almost always better. Want to learn to Nex? The Nex Hunters are recruiting! Click for more information!

RayOxide Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 ^Yeah. Im working on my after game team. All UU's Drapion, Gallade, Houndoom, Glaceon, Torterra, ??? - I was thinking Aggron from my friends emerald (aron) or a Marowak with thick club (LOTS of work) I dont need a siggy no moar.

Roberthree Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 ^ The one thing that always makes me discount Scizor is that the one weakness is 4x Fire. A lot of special sweepers probably carry a fire attack, or at least they would if they were mine. you can see a fire attack coming from a mile away and switch out of it.

RayOxide Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Theres more options in UU, so its not the fact they play like OU its the fact its hard to determine I dont need a siggy no moar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soma2035 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Theres more options in UU, so its not the fact they play like OU its the fact its hard to determine There are a lot more options in OU than in UU. In OU, you have 470 Pokemon available. In UU, you have only ~420 Pokemon available. And UU is just as centralized as OU is, in terms of what actually is used. Want to learn to Nex?

RayOxide Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 In OU, theres only like 50-70 pokemon that are used, and in UU there's alot more... Just because you can use UU's in OU's doesnt mean that people do.. I dont need a siggy no moar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you can use UU's in OU's doesnt mean that people do.. Actually, people use UUs in both OU and Ubers... Ray, do you actually play against people? You'd be surprised. UU is more centralized than OU is. If you don't believe me, here are the current usage stats (February 2009): http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=51725 Especially, look at the popular leads and their movesets. And realize that Crobat is banned now, Electrode having replaced most of them... with 50% or more carrying rain dance... Want to learn to Nex? The Nex Hunters are recruiting!

The Runar Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Does anybody else just choose their favorite Pokémons and use them as their team? That's what I do :P I don't EV train them or anything, it's what has killed Pokémon games. Players are becoming too serious. My current team is: Infernape (nicknamed 'Burners') Raichu (nicknamed 'Shockdude') Chansey (nicknamed 'The Medic') Ditto (shiny) (nicknamed 'Blue Ditto') Squirtle (nicknamed 'Water') I'm trying to get Porygon for the sixth spot.

There were a lot of pokemon that had no evolution, and were not being used at all. Now, they have become pretty powerful.

RayOxide Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 ^Like what? Probopass? :lol: Most of the pokemon that got those evolutions pretty much were OU's in the game they came out in. Yes, soma, I havent played anyone before because I just got my DS working yesterday. But, UU works alot on teamwork *raindance*, where-as OU works on just taking your opponent down, and Uber..

Hey I think Probopass is actually pretty cool. I reckon he, Magnezone, Rhyperior, Tangrowth, LickiLicki and Magmortar should never have existed. I like Electivire though.

RayOxide Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Does anyone think Porygon will have another evolution (if another pokemon game comes out)? Personally, I think it'll have a physical version of Porygon-Z, as a different evolution of Porygon2. THATS IF there is going to be another game or evolution. Porygon Z is already overpowered.

NOONE CARES ABOUT UBERS. Uh, OU focuses a lot on team work too. There's offensive, balanced, stall, rain dance, sandstream. You still get the odd hail team now and then, sun teams are beginning to show up more often now too. Actually, rain is becoming increasingly common in OU, thanks to Manaphy testing... It sounds like you're just biased against OU, probably because you don't like the dominant Pokemon in it. But OU really isn't any more or less centralized than UU, barring the presence of Scizor.
