all i was thinking was...... why isn't the dragonite doing a dragon type move? Those obvious switch in's were very obvious.
I still hate the psudo legendaries in OU tho..... jesus they are too powerful.
all i was thinking was...... why isn't the dragonite doing a dragon type move? Those obvious switch in's were very obvious.
you mean like T-Tar, Garchomp or D-Nite? Those are the only pseudos I can think of that are really popular in OU. I guess Goodra too. None of them are really that bad though.
Yeah at that time i was kicking myself for not having something more reliable to stop it (roar or t-wave) esp when its such a common threat
nah i'm talking more like....... Zapdos and the Genies and such.
Zapdos isn't bad at all, and the only reason he is so relevant this gen is because flying types became amazing and he counters them. (Also, having defog doesn't hurt it) genies have stats that are around the same vein as most of OU, actually even lower than some. The two that are getting on my nerves lately are deoxys d and s.
so what do you think about Mega's then?
Mega's aren't a bother because you can only have one.
Megas have stats twice as bad as the genies though lol. Most of them get abilities that are waaaay more retarded as well. Look at Charizard X. His base stats are sick as hell, and he gets a stupid good typing and ability on top of that.
but you only get one mega.
Ok, so because I only have one Mega Kangaskhan it makes it ok? lol, no that is certainly not the case. The genies have super hard counters littered across the meta, and they even though they are really good, I don't see any of them being banworthy. Thundurus especially isn't all that bad, Landorus I see a little more, and Tornadus is a UU poke this gen...his incarnate form might actually be RU. Greninja blows the genies up btw, they both have counters scattered across the meta, you just have to find them.
Thundurus has gotten boring to come across, unless I happen to come across the occasional superpower user, I bop him. Landorus gives me trouble from time to time though, just because I carry no ice on my team and Rotom is just slower than he is lol.
I get your point
Ambiguity is one of the biggest reasons mega kang and lucario got banned, so I get that. Just because something is ambiguous though doesn't necessarily mean that they are going to be amazing. Don't get me wrong btw, I'm not saying that any of them have bad stats by any means, they are great. However, because of the way the meta is right now, there are just a lot of checks to what they can do. Priority being super huge this meta is a negative for landorus. Grass and ground type coming back with a vengeance hurts thundurus. Steel buffs killed kyurem, as well as hyper voice users becoming big. Although these guys do have great stats, abilities and moves at their disposal, because of how people are currently playing the meta and all the other really good pokes that are being used can deal with them, I just don't see a reason to do away with them yet. (Except Deoxys, it's just too easy to get hazards out lol.)
Yeah it destroys the sub kyurem set lol, and most other sub users. I love hitting Gliscor with that shit the most though haha.
I'm assumign showdown us up to date with moves and such now?
Yeah they have everything you need lol.
You are totally exaggerating the bulk dude. Yeah it's bulky, but I can 2hko it with mega venusaur with no Sp. Atk investment whatsoever. It's a ground flying type man, it's easily a top 3 defensive typing. Look at gliscor this exact problem could be said about him as well. It's weak to water and ice. If you arent carrying at least one of those i think you have a flaw on yer team in the first place.
except he can't attack in NEARLY the same nature, nore can he drop your attack stats.
Again ig you arent carrying water or ice to scare it there is a problem with your team, not the pokemon. Run greninja or gyarados and watch how quickly it leaves.
you do realize that it can 1hko your venasaur if it packs any flying stab right?
