    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?

    I was really confused about this team-building situation, because no matter what there is going to be a counter-strategy or a way my team is flawed or what tiers mean, etecetra. But then I beat the Elite Four in Gen II and read this from Karen, the fourth one after beating her: "Strong Pokémon...

    1. True, and I guess thats one less Pokemon I have to IV-EV train. ...I think. Do you need to IV-EV train a F.E.A.R. Pokemon? On one hand, that might sabotage you going to 1 HP. On the other hand, having a higher Speed means that you will always go first even if they are using high-priorty...

    Noted, I probably wouldn't actually try that, its just there is less Uber Pokemon to plan for than OU. I am not leading with it, I just happened to mention it first. Which Pokemon should I lead with? Swampert is Water-Ground, Surf has 95 Power-100% Accuracy where as Earthquake has 100...

    New team, which I've set up for countering ubers and common tactics, and using unexpected UU Pokemon for surprise factor. 1#"Hera", Female Heracross (Held item: Leftovers, Nature: Careful) EVs: 252 HP/40 Atk/216 SpD ~Sleep Talk (counter to Darkrai) ~Meteor Mash (counter to Deoxys-A, Mew...

    1)F.E.A.R. is cheap. 2)F.E.A.R. can be easily countered with the Stealth Rock, Spikes, and any kind of damaging weather. 3)F.E.A.R. does not lead to fun fights. Anyway, I am re-planning my entire team and will post a new proposal soon.

    Fixed it! ^.^ (reading later comments) I did indeed have Roost before, I am a "she", and yep yep. Hm...I will consider this. Oh okay, but would two-team members with Superpower be redundant? Well, unlike Salamance, Dragonite can heal itself, one of the only advatages it has against the...

    Alrighty, ideas for the new team. All of my team will be Generation III-avaliable Pokemon because it seems like most of the EV and IV training resources are in FRLG and Emerald. 1#"Tyra", Female Tyranitar (Held item: Expert Belt, Nature: Naive) EVs: 56 Atk / 252 SpA / 200 Spe ~Flamethrower...

    I have, is it bad to use Pokemon from the lower tiers? I know Uber is illegal, and NFE is not reccomended, but the rest is based on usage and not power. Is there a list that is based on power? I'll need to figure out Nintendo Wi-Fi first, but thank you, I will get to you on that if I do figure...

    I suppose I could use Tweaking + Thousands of Soft-Resets to get some shiny legendaries as trade-fodder, but I think its feels more honest to do it yourself. But how do you request good/perfect IV bred Pokemon? Meh, I like the feel of my Nintendo DS. But it sounds like I will get my ass handed...

    Yep. So...from what I understand: IVs- Things that boost certain stats and are determined at a Pokemon's birth. You need to have the right IVs to the right stats in order to better fulfill your Pokemon's stats. You get a Ditto with perfect IVs and Nature to breed with the target Pokemon. In...

    In December, I am going to start my plans concocted this month for a competitive team. Here's the problem: no idea how to do it. Here is my vague plan: ->Power-level 2 Pokemon in Emerald. ->Power-level 2 Pokemon in Diamond. ->Power level 2 Pokemon in HeartGold. So, which Pokemon do I raise...
