Stall teams typically have status and phazing. Status will ruin any Salamence, phazing will ruin non-boosting ones. After all, all Blissy has to do is survive 1 attack to paralyze it.

Only Paralysis and Burn really ruin him, Toxic just puts him on a really annoying timer. Question being, how well does Blissey handle boosted Outrages?

 

540 Atk vs 130 Def & 714 HP (120 Base Power): 696 - 819 (97.48% - 114.71%)

 

This is the standard Naive/Naughty DDmence vs Standard Wish/Cleric Blissey. After SR or Sandstorm, it's dead for certain, and dead in 80% of cases otherwise, assuming it gets in, and is in perfect health. It can't safely play against it if it gets a DD under it's belt. And let's calc Earthquake, just for posterity's sake?

 

540 Atk vs 130 Def & 714 HP (100 Base Power): 386 - 455 (54.06% - 63.73%)

 

Guaranteed 2HKO with Leftovers and SR factored in. Point being, stall has to really play around it and handle it well or else it will hurt badly.

 

EDIT: Unless you actuallyy kill mence/phaze him with something like Ice Beam, paralysis won't be as bad as a burn vs stall teams.

Also Zaaps, don't forget that being uber doesn't necessarily imply you need to be toe-to-toe with groudon/mewtwo/arceus, it just means you are too overpowered for the standart OU metagame.

 

And Salamence biggest thrumph is the movepool, it's jus gargantuous (yay for new word, thanks naruto), like ultima said, it is a pain to figure out the set of a Salamence when it switches in.

 

But i still think Clericnite is a better dragon then salamence, maybe because of a more estrategic usage <.<

Can someone find out my SID please?

But it IS a good basis for comparison.

Playing SoulSilver and I need ideas for pokemon for my team.

 

So far, I have two pokemon: Scizor and Dragonite.

I'm looking for ideas. The fun ones I came up with all have too many weaknesses imo.

you should use the random pokemon generator

i did to find a team for my ss and plat

[anonymous1234]

I've been kinda bothered with trying to pick a suitable in-game team. Mostly, my problem is with originality. Right now I have Typhlosion, Feraligatr, Garchomp, Raichu, Rhyperior, and Lugia. As you can see, I have two starters, as well as two übers. I just feel as if I'm cheating myself by using such strong pokemon. I've considered adding Scizor or Metagross, replacing Raichu for Electivire, and replacing Lugia with Togekiss, but it just doesn't seem fun adding such over used pokemon. I want a team I can call my own, and not some standard PvP victory team.

[Zaaps1]

Play favorites then. There's nothing wrong with using an OU or Uber Pokemon if it's your favorite.

[Maleficus1055]

Hmm, me and my friend are thinking of doing a play through of a pokemon game on hard mode. http://forums.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=2334934&sid=9470b15606d37fce5b74aa199ec173d6

Red and Blue sound like a good choice for a runthrough on?

[Zaaps1]

Wow. I want to try it now.

 

I remember doing something like that on RBY, except I had a killer Nidoking that demolished just about everything. I know some kid beat yellow in under 3 hours using the OHKO Nidoking tactic.

[Maxingmck]

Copy pasta from serebii.

 

Good Legendary types though, Dragon Electric and Dragon Fire are awesome combinations, but i hope they stop using both Dragon, Flying and Psychic types from the Legendaries, Feels kinda repetitive.

[Alg]

Beaten to it. I still say the Pokedex from this gen is an Apple product. Seriously, it has the same shape and layout as an iPod.

[Demoli]

I say the new Professor is a 50 year old women made out of cosmetics.

 

Other than that, i like the crocodile :D

[Alg]

I'm curious about that pink thing. It's like... What. Is it a pig or a head-sucking alien? Having it as a psychic type called the 'dream eater' Pokemon doesn't help. Whatever it is, it's probably the cutest bundle of nightmare fuel in the series so far.

[Buzzcut3]

I have a feeling that everything minus the pink thing and the gears could potentially be classic Pokemon, depending on the stats. The mouse gets technician with an attack that hits multiple times (thus being boosted by technician for each hit), the Pigeon gets super luck and "pigeon heart" which keeps its attack from being lowered apparently, the flame thing depends on the stats since I don't see the ability being good, motor drive electric giraffe (no matter how you say it that sounds awesome), and a crocodile with intimidate (which alone would be good) but it also has a new ability.

 

I'm feeling optimistic about these guys now.

[Alg]

A lot of them look like first stage ones too. The bird's probably the traditional beginner bird, for example, and the chinchilla could be the beginner rodent.

'Motor Drive Electric Zebra" for a TIF band name :grin:

[Maleficus1055]

Me and my friend did a wi-fi trade for the first time today, it was all going good. Then he started talking to himself and I was like "DUDE I CAN HEAR YOU!" And we both started tripping out over voice chat. Didn't know you could do that o_o

[Zaaps1]

Wow, that must've been pretty embarrasing for him.

[Maleficus1055]

Wow, that must've been pretty embarrasing for him.

 

Well it wasn't embarassing talking to himself, just like normal talking.

[Zaaps1]

Oh, ok.

 

Still, quite a cool feature.

Can't beat the Elite Four in Emerald.

 

Ice [bleep] keeps kicking my face in. ;_;

 

I feel emasculated. It kinda annoys me that I was more proficient at Pokemon back when I was playing RB/GSC than I am now. And I'm poor. D:

[Maxingmck]

It's not your fault, Ice is an increadible type when combined with water, few weaknesses and pretty much super effectives in everything :mellow:

[Maxingmck]

found this card from 1999 in my grandmas basement.

 

Worth anythin

[rangeor]

No, Pokemon cards aren't worth anything since a lot of people still have them.
