Dragon - Druddigon: Has an abysmal 45 Base speed and a base attack that is less than 4 points above average for a FE Dragon. Most dragons are better. Like Garchomp. Twice as fast, 10 more attack.

wrong, it would have to be maybe dratini or deino; those are both barely usable.

Though counting only fully-evolved Pokemon, it's probably Altaria. Similar defenses to Druddigon (which are not bad actually), but no Attack/Special Attack.
 
Re: Javelin's Pokemon Advice Thread!

hmm curious question.

How effective would a weather team be now that x and y nerfed all the weather abilities to a maximum five turns(unless you make a poke hold those weather stones)?

Re: Javelin's Pokemon Advice Thread!

You could do with a better physical wall built with the intention of being a physical wall if you dropped donphan.

You don't need both Megahorn and Pin Missile on Hera. Drop Megahorn for rock blast to better cover fire/flying types.
 
Re: Javelin's Pokemon Advice Thread!

Donphan is more of a rapid spinner/bulky type pokemon. He takes away rocks or other hazards and has good type coverage with Ice Shard, Head Smash (good counter for Talonflame) and Earthquake which is stab too.

They've definitely been nerfed, that's for sure.

However, you can still pull out deadly sweeps with people like Chlorophyll Venusaur (Solarbeam in the sun) and stuff like that, especially since people won't be expecting it. It's just harder because you have to keep refreshing the weather.

Speaking of this...

Do weather stones extend the duration of the abilities too? Or is it just the respective weather move?

As in would a Damp Rock make Drizzle AND Rain Dance last longer, or just Rain Dance?
 
Re: Javelin's Pokemon Advice Thread!

they extend the abilities as well

That's just too bad. Every time I come into this thread to see what pokemon talk is going on, it's you 2 bickering over stupid shit. If you guys can't handle having individual threads about advice, just make a generic Pokemon Advice Topic and just bark whatever your opinions are at whoever is asking a question and fight about that, rather than chewing each other out for who's thread is what and who cares this is dumb.

I think I'm perfectly within my rights to want an advice thread that has my name on it to be run by me.

Personally, I think it's design is a little too "in your face". And it crossed the border of "ridiculous/cool" and is now on the ridiculous side.

But I can see why people like its design, so I don't have anything against you if you personally enjoy it. (also that image you posted is cool)

Battlewise, Huge Power is a ridiculously awesome ability that makes this thing hit hard with Play Rough and Iron Head, especially after setting up with Swords Dance. Steel/Fairy is excellent typing that gives it only two weaknesses and a bunch of resists. Mega Mawile also learns Sucker Punch for added awesome that allows it to take out faster people even with its low Speed.

Well now you're aware that it's stupid as fuck and he's getting mad about it so can you also stop being 6.

Merry Christmas.

Re: Javelin's Pokemon Advice Thread!

how great of an idea is it to have your entire team be level 100 gengars?
 
Re: Javelin's Pokemon Advice Thread!

hmm jav, did mega gardevoir make a good impact this time or is the poke still sinking in the nu tier?
 
Re: Javelin's Pokemon Advice Thread!

AFAIK tiers are still in flux. And apparently someone at Smogon had the genius idea to playtest everyone in UU, which has led to complete insanity in the UU tier.

I don't really know because I've recently lost my interest in Pokemon.
 
Re: Javelin's Pokemon Advice Thread!

How can I make my Roserade more awesome than it already is? (lv. 60 or so, knows dazzling gleam, venoshock, mega drain, and cut)

I take down fairy types all the time.

AND WHERE DO I FIND SLUDGE BOMB? I need it!
 
Re: Javelin's Pokemon Advice Thread!

It knows Mega Drain? Uh oh.

That, unfortunately, means you evolved it before it learned Giga Drain, a far superior move. You see, Roselia learns moves that its evolution doesn't. I would suggest teaching it Energy Ball instead, you'll deal a lot more damage.

You can find Sludge Bomb at Route 19. You'll have to surf across the deep swampwater to reach it, so remember to bring a Surf Pokemon.

I'd also suggest deleting Cut with the Move Deleter in Dendemille Town and replacing it with Shadow Ball to take care of pesky Psychic types.

That would actually really benefit my Roserade, thinking about it. I could replace Energy Ball with Shadow Ball, since my Roserade's Giga Drain is only a small notch weaker, heals and would be impossible to regain unlike Energy Ball, and then it'd be a serious force to be reckoned with.

That's it, I'm doing that when I play next.
