Why are they hating on him?



Because he put an Everstone (item that prevents evolution) on Shelmet, a Pokemon that only evolves when traded vs. a Karrablast.

Oh hell yeah they do! I found out when I played Pearl that playing online without an IV trained pokemon is just suicide! However, that doesn't quite mean I went out of my way to IV train them myself

I'm a lazy player! I'd rather catch them all than IV train!

Thank you for your input

Edit @ adeezy: It's called Pokemon Online. Just Google it.


I would recommend replacing Bug Bite with X-Scissor on Scizor. Better physical attack to take advantage of of Scizors massive ATK.


Well with Technician, Bug Bite's power is 90, which is better than X-Scissor's 80.


Oops, missed that part. My bad ^_^

Uh what is your gross using right now?

Meteor Mash
Agility
uh Earthquake at least right?

Then what?


My point exactly. Nothing lol.

edit: i guess my options are now zen headbutt (psychic), rock slide (rock), grass knot (grass), brick break/hammer arm (fighting)

psychic gives 2x against fighting, grass against ground and water, rock against flying+bug and 30% flinch chance. and fighting against normal+dark

any recommendations?

I'd say Rock Slide because it would help your Metagross not get walled by Skarmory.

Well skarmory is steel...so rock does normal damage and so rosk slide does 75. Meteor mash is 100+50 STAB/2 = 75 so it doesn't actually help much besides the 30% flinch and the slightly increased accuracy...if only metagross had a better rock move.

After thinking it through 75 is way too little power in my opinion...Unless I did some math wrong or something...or if you guys have better reasoning

I also realized grass knot is special...

I've seen some mixed Metagross builds though. Maybe Hammer Arm then? Then you'd get 100 BP neutral coverage on Skarmory.

But what about Gliscor? @_@

^You usually need to kill gliscor and bulky waters and skarmory, or weaken them a lot to use Metagross (at least back when I used him).

I personally preferred running explosion agiligross+gyarados since agiligross could do some damage, explode, and then gyarados could go on and sweep with a bulky water out of play. or you could reverse it, gyarados weaken the wall, agiligross starts killing stuff then blows up when its weak.

Too bad Explosion sucks now

I usually just have my Pokemon carry Ice Beam to fight Gliscor. And if I think they'll use Toxic/Fling their Toxic Orb (actually, that's all that the Gliscors I face do), I just switch to Skarmory. Then they switch for like Heatran or something.

I've gotten into quite a few stall wars where I ended up getting my opponent down to nothing but Gliscor because I would switch to Skarmory, and get him to switch for something else so that all his Pokemon die from my entry hazards. And I don't even run a stall team >.>

It no longer halves the defense of the enemy pokemon, so getting a one for one trade that became expected in gen 4 is much less likely.

Zen headbutt or Brick Break.

Elemental punches always had shit power to begin with, at least in my opinion. I ran a MM/EQ/Brick Break/Exp set. Now Explo sucks so may as well go for four coverage attacks. I'd probably get Brick Break on your set because Psychic isn't an awesome attacking type anyway while fighting is amazing.

Brick Break also has the nice bonus of removing LS and Reflect so...yea get that.

Still pretty likely to get walled by skarmory, though (neutral coverage and only 75 power)
Kinda moving away from using metagross at all Steel and Psychic just never were great attacking types, and with explosion getting gutted... yeah.

Zen headbutt / hammer arm or brick break / EQ / Meteor Mash if you do use metagross i guess?

Nope, bug bite is stronger because of Technician. +50% boost = 90 effective power (X-scis is 80)

What about Pursuit on your Scizor? Would give ghosts nightmares and they can't even switch out.

Should I replace Brick Break with Pursuit on my Scizor? Then I'd have no Fighting moves :x

God, building my team is so stressful. I want to be able to counter everything but it's impossible >.<

I'm not one for pokemon lore (or, any video game lore, for that matter), but this makes me curious.
What's the reasoning behind this?
Karrablast looks like it should evolve into Shelmet's evolved form, and vice versa. Why?
What kind of reasonings/explanation for this is there?
A person willing to die for a cause is a hero. A person willing to kill for a cause is a madman
