some background on me: i didn't participate in CAP5, haven't seen any arguments or sets or anything for malaconda. when the playtest began, I thought it would be fun to see something new. I took a look at malaconda's stats and abilities and scanned the moveset before I started laddering. I...

i used cloyster before and when i used it, i slapped on scope lens, which increases the chances of a crit. with scope lens, each of the 5 attacks have a 12.5% chance to crit. that means a 62.5% chance that one of the attacks will crit. add in 1 shell smash, and I regularly converted 2HKOs to...

I read most of the ones in the archive, plus i've been lurking around the forums since i first found smogon ;P well originally i had a few more curse words in the story, but seemed people were put off by that, so i turned a lot of them into harmless versions. "nattbutt" became one of the...

i say i'm new because i only played for maybe 3-5 months in gen 4(in the span between chomp's banning and sala banning, i played infrequently. managed to get around 1300 points in rank before stopping) and then started playing gen 5 when it was first enacted on PO. i think starting again from...

thanks a lot guys, i really appreciate all the comments. means a lot to me that i could contribute to the community in my own little way sure: GYARADOS impish w/ leftovers 252 HP/ 252 DEF/ 4 SpD dragon tail waterfall rest sleep talk a couple of notes for him: -he can survive most non-stab...

really glad you enjoyed it. personally when i first heard of the wifi rule, i was really disappointed because it meant losing a lot of the strategy in a match. but after playing under that clause for a while i realize that it definitely doesn't ruin the game as i once thought. i'm the type of...

it's interesting you bring this up because it seems natural to think that chomp outrage is the strongest thing in most comparisons, but against this particular darkrai (modest, 252SpA/252Spe, life orb), an outrage from adamant 252atk chomp does 83.6-98.6% whereas modest 252spA heatran does...

sorry about the cussing guys, but after the early hax and misplays on my part, i was kinda angry and annoyed at his nattorei and the whole battle in general. i guess if it's really a problem, i can go back and edit some of it out to make it a little cleaner EDIT: ok i cleaned it up a little...

hello, i'm komoku and i'm fairly new to competitive battling. i battled in mid-gen 4 and stopped soon after sala was banned. started back up when 5th gen came out, so now you know my experience level. this battle took place on smogon's PO server. i finally decided to stop being stubborn and...

ya, I misread something on crits so that's why I ended up with the 50%. In any case, maybe night slash can be replaced with some other move that works better with this set, leaving facade as the only attack move.

Sorry, guess I got my math messed up. I'm thinking this might be more viable with Togekiss and Cresselia like you mentioned. I guess a lot of it is surprise factor. Cresselia and Toge can learn trick, so that might be a good annoyer strategy: let her get burned, trick the orb away, then shift...

Honchkrow @Flame Orb Ability: Super Luck EVs: 252 atk/252 spe/4 hp Adamant -Roost -Facade -Psycho Shift -Night Slash Saw that the Honchkrow page didn't have too much options for him so I made a new one. Strategy is easy, bring him in to force a switch or to bait a switch and use psycho shift...
