Doomkiller · « **Reply #262 on:** October 21, 2011, 10:30:07 PM »

Toxicroak. Cause you can

Badnik96 · « **Reply #263 on:** October 21, 2011, 10:33:12 PM »

yeah, I went on Smogon after I posted and Toxicroak is OU while Armaldo is NU. Obvius choice right?

Also my lv27 Anorith is faster than a lv63 Scrafty (and managed to KO it). Something is wrong here...

Anorith:
HP: 45
Attack: 95
Defense: 50
Sp.Atk: 40
Sp.Def: 50
Speed: 75

Scrafty:
HP: 65
Attack: 90
Defense: 115
Sp.Atk: 45
Sp.Def: 115
Speed: 58

See the difference?

Yes, but Level 27 Anorith, level 63 Scrafty, surely the 36 level gap would make a difference, unless Anorith is that awesome, or he had a quick claw. I remember when my level 5 Togepi beat the ghost gym leader's last Pokemon with a Hydro Pump from Metronome, so I suppose that it can depend on the move(s) Anorith used, and the move(s) Scrafty used too.

I wonder something... if you gave a Slowpoke the move Trick Room, it would have the same effect as using the Quick Claw... So, upon using Trick Room on Slowpoke, would my DS explode?

Pwnator · « **Reply #267 on:** October 22, 2011, 03:54:38 AM »

Why would you give it to Slowpoke? Give it to someone who can actually use it, like Bronzong. :P

[Edit] Just realized Slowpoke can use Fire Blast. I WTF'ed. I guess Slowpoke can be a viable Trick Roomer after all. o_O

Precisely, which is why that's the tactic I use with my Slowpoke

Pwnator · « **Reply #269 on:** October 22, 2011, 04:25:47 AM »

AFAIK Quick Claw lets you ignore Trick Room's effect. And if your opponent also has Quick Claw and both are activated, Trick Room's effects apply.

Anorith did not have a quick claw. Actually my Heracross brought it to red HP and I sent out Anorith for teh lulz to see if it could win. AND IT DID :P I used X scissor (yay TM's) and Scrafty never got to use its move.

Also, how can Kangaskahn learn Outrage? and Bidoof learn Thunder? Normal types are broken IMO. you can't give a beaver thing the ability to strike people with lightning, and a kangaroo is not a dragon.

Trying to get a Crobat right now.

Oh yeah, last night I was looking for Riolu, closed the DS, forgot to shut the game off, when I woke up this morning I was in an encounter with a wild Riolu. XD

WRONG.
Normal-Types are "balanced". They cant deal super effective hits, nothing resists them.
And they can have fun using a wide range of TMs, provided, they can't STAB with them.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #273 on:** October 22, 2011, 03:40:06 PM »

what does STAB stand for anyway?

Aside from being explained by the pickle-guy....
Normal-Types can use all kind of TM moves, but they wont be as strong because the move is an un-matching type.
(Except for Normal moves, of course)

Ghost types can't get hit by normal type attack.
