Honestly, I find Salamence harder to deal with than Garchomp. Why? Versatility. All Garchomp sets that were any good used Garchomp's physical prowess to sweep teams, either with Swords Dance or a Choice item. Because of this, I was able to counter 95% of Garchomps with my Lapras (which would...

Primeape (M) @ Focus Sash Ability: Vital Spirit EVs: 6 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd Lonely nature (+Atk, -Def) - U-turn - Close Combat - Punishment - Vacuum Wave --- Primeape is an anti-lead. Darkrai is an extremely popular lead in ubers, and Primeape absolutely stops it dead. Vital Spirit blocks...

On a Choice set, Ice Punch is useful. On a hax-abuse set, it's worthless. On a Choice set, Ice Punch will auto-OHKO even a defensive Dragonite set after SR or residual damage. This also means it OHKOs all Flygon and Salamence sets too (Intimidate will save a bulky Salamence, but such a Salamence...

I had horrible vision when I was in kindergarten. I was nearly blind in my left eye (my right one worked just fine). My vision steadily improved from grade school up through high school, and I am now a glasses-free university student. I even drive without glasses now, and I was a gamer the whole...

I need to do more tours, really. I've only done like three =(

Night Slash is already 25% crit, without Super Luck. Super Luck brings it up to 37.5%. Also Razor Claw would be an option for Honchkrow to hold instead of Life Orb, making the critical strikes just that more prevalent, up to 25% on the normal attacks and a whopping 50% on Night Slash.

I've always been inclined to run balanced teams. Sometimes a team is more stall-focused, sometimes one is more offense-focused, but they're all balanced. My latest team uses bulky offense with a good spread of resists and a frail scarfer to knock out some threats with prediction. I seem to do...

I'm running Flamethrower/Psychic as my offensive moves on CM Fable instead of the standard T-Bolt/Ice Beam. Boltbeam gives better neutral coverage, but Flamethrower/Psychic still has pretty nice neutral coverage (resisted by Crawdaunt/Sharpedo, Starmie/Slowbro/Slowking, Houndoom, Heatran and...

Well, I actually started with Blastoise. I was working on designing an anti-lead designed to stop suicide leads from getting rocks up. So I asked myself, "What would I need to do that?" and my answer was "Priority and Rapid Spin". And so I found Blastoise got both those moves, constructed a set...

Firstly, we need much stricter laws for DUI, with DUI being under the influence of any impairing drugs, including legal ones. Maybe make first time offenders serve five years prison and never be allowed to drive again, with the penalty for driving on a DUI-revoked license fifty years in prison...

I wanted Nidoqueen because she can resist Electric, lay SR and lay T-Spikes all at the same time. T-Spikes are a defense against Blissey too since she doesn't like coming in across two layers. Clefable I'll change to having T-Bolt and Ice Beam, though I'm considering Flamethrower/Psychic as...

I made an OU team, though it doesn't have very much OU in it. It's a bit different than how I usually build teams, but it has seemed to work well in preliminary testing. The team at a glance: Blastoise (M) @ Leftovers Ability: Torrent EVs: 212 HP/188 Atk/108 SDef Careful nature...

The Sox may very well not make the playoffs and honestly I don't think they will. At 7.5 GB from the Yankees, their only hope lies in the wild card race, with the Rangers right on their heels and Tampa Bay not far behind.

Um, doesn't Charge Beam have a 70% of raising SAtk one stage without Serene Grace? With Serene Grace, this goes to 140%, and since 140% > 100% then Dunsparce is guaranteed to raise its SAtk with Charge Beam while it's doing damage. Why would one use Calm Mind over Charge Beam then?

Oh, for the record, Surf and Nasty Plot is illegal, so you may wish to remove the mention.

I train to be in fighting shape, even though I am not a boxer or MMA fighter. I do security, when I am in school it is often at my frat's parties and when out of school I do security at the local ampitheater. My workout usually consists of such moves as rapidly palm striking and "shield...

For most of the items that destroy Shedinja, you gave adequate descriptions (Super-effective attacks, Recoil damage), but "Certain abilities" and "Certain moves" are nondescript. Personally I would list them as: Super-Effective moves (Fire, Rock, Ghost, Dark, Flying) Recoil damage...

We should probably add in that the physical one would be Lonely (+Atk/-Def) or Naughty (+Atk/-SDef) and the special one would be Mild (+SAtk/-Def) or Rash (+SAtk/-SDef). I didn't bother to consider Electabuzz's resists and weaknesses and common users of the types to figure out which defense is...

Leafeon @ Leftovers EVs: 252 HP / 144 Def / 110 Atk Nature: Impish (Def+/SAtk-) - Curse - Wish - Leaf Blade - Aerial Ace Leafeon can come in on quite a few physical threats, even those with SE attacks. Now NU, Leafeon pairs very well with Cacturne. Leafeon can actually take down Hitmonchan...

As far as Cacturne, try Aerial Ace. With the addition of Brave Bird not very many things use Aerial Ace any more, but the can't-miss attack still works very well against Cacturne's 70/60/60 defenses. Leafeon and Combusken would work well against Cacturne, as both learn Aerial Ace and take low...
