It can make a nice spcl wall after the balance tho. they turned it into a freaking noctowl..... but anyway what i do with stats meowth is compare them to other pokemon who have the same type. i dont care about move pools i care about strong stats and that is never gonna change if they have no stats whats the point in using them. The only tim,e i dont look at stats is when i raise a pokemon who supports/henders teams....then again thats still not true cuz then i get the fastest supporter/hender possible to get. Say what you want stats are everything to me.

Thats y im having problems on the pu server cuz the ones who were good just arent really that good on it, they've been slightly altered and it shows in battles dragonites aqua jet does like no damage now so to me he is now usless... and i have to find something to replace it with. My whole team got weaker now to make a mono flying team i probably would use pidgeot as a speacial wall if it turns out better than togekiss whom stats i havent checked yet. Anyway it's like i have to relearn pokemon and from what i've learned so far i usnderstand y Roloc dont lose his whole team of pokemon got boosted too much there is no balamnce in a cater pie 20 points faster than a garchomp hows that balance. now we got caterpies walking around ohkoing garchomps with out  using quiver dance bugs became beastie in this pu server. and bug mono was already one of the best mono teams u could make.

I'm going to guess you battled deadae, who used a baton passing ninjask to set up spiritomb.  And with a few calm minds it became to fast and strong right?  Well the key to beating it is this.  Predict ninjask, and when spiritomb switches in hit it hard.  Or use a move like toxic that will slowly kill it.

The strategy Bing mentions is knwon as baton passing, a move that allows all the stat increase the user has to be passe3d to the next, so Spiritomb was already set to destroy. The easiest way to break this is to use Roar or whirlwind, or have a prankster pokemon with toxic to poison either ninjask or spiritomb, that way they die from being out to long. The best thing to do is to predict when baton pass is coming, have a non-prankster with toxic, and use it so that spiritomb will receive the poisoning, which takes even more health over time from the one poisoned. She would need to set up calm minds, but by that time, spiritomb will have already taken damage. If she uses a substitute, break it by attacking full on, so it can't be passed, or toxic won't work.

Another way to beat a baton passing ninjask is to have a priority attack or a multi hit attack which will break sub and keep on hitting.

It's not that I don't think it's broken, it's that I can't see where you think it's broken. What do you think should happen in your example? It could be that I'm to close to the problem to see it.

We both seem to think that if Hippowdon has a sandstorm up then another pokemon like Ninetales is switched in the weather should be sun.  It shouldn't revert at all.  It should be based on the newest pokemon brought into the game.  Speed should only matter if they switched in at the same time.

This way people can counter weather with their own.

Good topic but i would just like to address an error you made. Shell Smash is +2 to its boosting stats, not +1.

On PU it's +1

Quote

Shell Smash:
- Rescaled stat change from +2 Atk/SpAtk/Spe -1 Def/SpDef to +1 Atk/SpAtk/Spe -1 Def.

Trick or Treat!

never did that before...

Wow, just wow.  Really you've never gone Trick or treating?  That blows my mind.  I mean I went every Halloween til I was 16.  Now I just go to Halloween parties where instead of candy, I get beer.

Me neither, it isn't really a big thing over here. I believe this is only popular in America . Also, letting your kids walk alone down the streets, knocking on some strangers doors... This doesn't sound like a good idea to me.
