• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    X/Y Competitive Rosters

    Surfingpichu, I love the nickname scheme you came up with. Had thought of doing that with a team once before, but never got around to training it. Though I did manage to finish training a Slowbro and named it "Acedia" (Latin for "sloth"). Noctowl, I like the concept behind HellsBells and...

    X/Y Competitive Rosters

    So, now that the competitive game has been well-established (and I slowly eke my way into it), I'm curious as to what people are prone to using. What pokémon do you keep in the stables? Cool/funny nicknames? Interesting move sets? Unique EV spreads? Looking for a bit of inspiration as well...

    Semi-Competitive Team Help

    Only recently gotten into any sort competitive battling, so not too much constructive criticism. I will say that I've trained up a Ferrothorn of my own. Running Leech Seed, Thunder Wave, Spikes (gonna breed again for Stealth Rock) and Power Whip. I've found Thunder Wave very useful in...

    Suggest me some Pokés for BW's in-game

    Re: Suggest me some Pokés for BW's in-game True, if you want to piddle around with Tynamo's four moves (Tackle, Thunder Wave, Spark and Charge Beam) until level 39. Also, I agree with LuckyLapras. While Leavanny's dual Bug/Grass typing is far from ideal, it comes with a pretty decent move...

    A slow process

    Which was really one of the key points in my move selection, especially since Garbodor's physical move pool is not extremely diverse when it comes to hard-hitting attacks. The idea of Stockpile/Spit Up has some appeal, but the point is to mitigate defense loss while still increasing speed. One...

    A slow process

    I'm starting to feel like I'm spamming my own thread now, but whatever. My ideas keep coming, and I feel the need to put them somewhere. This one was recently inspired by a Youtube video featuring Ash battling Homika (in the anime), one of the new gym leaders from Black/White 2. Garbodor...

    RNG Abuse: Ethical?

    Alraune, what is assumed nowadays is that a vast majority of shinies are found by some process of simplification. Look on any GTS and you'll find dozens upon dozens of shinies for any species of pokémon you search for. Look on almost any battling video on Youtube. At least a few out of every...

    RNG Abuse: Ethical?

    I agree that RNG manipulation has definitely deflated the value of shiny pokémon in general, and it has become a sadly essential tool in competitive battling because everyone who knows how seems to be using it to get near-perfect IV spreads. From the standpoint of shiny Pokémon, I always...

    A slow process

    I was recently thinking about the post that started this entire thread, so I decided to revamp it with some of the suggestions I found on here. I feel this is more balanced than the original idea, and it could work more effectively with the same gimmick. ACCELGOR Naive / Hydration @ Leftovers...

    Drat. That rather defeats the entire purpose.

    Please tell me I'm misunderstanding the mechanics of this: Weavile Jolly/Pickpocket @ none Fake Out / Swords Dance / Fling / Ice Shard 252 ATT / 252 SPD Serebii.net says that Pickpocket activates only when the Pickpocketing pokémon RECEIVES a physical attack. I'm hoping that this may be some...

    Pokémon Black and White

    Re: Pokémon Black and White I know I probably shouldn't, but I'm going to anyway. *bump* It's been so long since I played through the entire storyline of B/W, and I figured I'd do it again just to see the kind of team I could come up with now. And since the results even surprise me, I...
