Thanks! I'll try both sets.
Also, infinitestory is my hero. Taunt Skarm is awesome. All I had left was Scizor with 39 HP, against Aerodactyl, Weavile, and Cofagrigusk. And I won. With Spikes.
Skarmory fainted!
Ferrose sent out Scizor!
Start of turn 33
Scizor used Bullet Punch!
It's super effective!
The foe's Aerodactyl lost 91% of its health!
The foe's Aerodactyl fainted!
Winston sent out Weavile!
The foe's Weavile is hurt by spikes!
The foe's Weavile fainted!
Winston sent out Cofagrigusk!
The foe's Cofagrigusk is hurt by spikes!
The foe's Cofagrigusk fainted!
Ferrose won the battle!

The way to counter excadrill is a faster excadrill, which seems funny but basically that's why people run him as speed + to stop other excadrills. .
Another counter is a bold suicune, I'm pretty sure one surf is all it takes, lol
Also could someone teach me how to use taunt correctly, like taunt skarm, when do you have the opportunity to use that correctly lol
|
Super effective STAB priority, and simply denying sandstorm are the best counters to excadrill.
|
Run a trickroom team  ... makes exadrill extremely useless when everything in the game outspeeds it.
|
Trick room team would work too, Wish they'd bring out a pokemon that starts off the match with a trick room instant or something, that'd be cool
As for trickr oom teams how do you offset the round you take to do trick room and the fact you have to re-do it every time?
|
It lasts like five turns or something.
Porygon2 can learn Trick Room. I could replace Magic Coat for it 
Speaking of Trick Room, I hear that there is talk on Smogon about putting Reuniclus into Ubers. : /

The pokemon on your team that use Trick Room tend to be extremely bulky, so that one extra hit doesn't really hurt too much. Slowbro/Slowking, Pory2, Dusknoir (?), and Uxie (?) are decent examples.
EDIT:
Pokemon that counter Excadrill (during sandstorm):
Rotom-W (Requires some defensive EVs)
Rotom-H and Rotom-C (to a lesser extent)
Breloom (mach punch)
Skarmory
Bronzong (to a lesser extent than Skarmory, since phazing is unavailable)
Wobbuffett (must use Encore)
Whimsicott (must switch in on the swords dance and use Encore)
Anything with Focus Sash, must be able to OHKO
Politoed (must be scarfed or have high defensive stats)
Any bulky Steel, Fighting, or Water type with a balloon, must be able to OHKO (ex: Heatran, Terrakion)
Gliscor (not 100% sure about this. Would ideally have max HP and Def and know Earthquake)
Gyarados (Beware Stone Edge, even though I don't think it kills for sure. Have Intimidate.)
Lucario (vacuum wave)
Ludicolo (unsure how well it tanks a Stone Edge)
These should generally be used as revenge killers. Most of them aren't safe switchins unless you know what attack excadrill is going to use for sure.

I feel like you guys are taking this way too seriously

As opposed to taking Starcraft way too seriously? Both games are nothing more than past times to me, but pokemon has too much of an uncontrollable luck factor (accuracy, crits, procs) for my taste, it's easily the most frustrating "competitive" game I've ever played. But still fun enough to be worth my attention. The potential for mind games is huge.
|
Yes, it's very fun to toy with people on Pokemon. For instance, when my opponent has nothing but Rotom-W left, I have Vaporeon out. I switch to Zapdos for Lightningrod, then back to Vaporeon to heal with Water Absorb. The guy couldn't do anything :D
|
My sincerest apologies if this has already been posted somewhere obvious, but I don't have the time to sift through the entire thread.
I played pokemon awhile back, and haven't played any of the newer gens. I've forgotten all about IVs/EVs/breeding/etc. Can someone recommend a good place to "catch up" on all of these? And have they changed at all in gen 5 (I think thats what white/black's gen is)?
Much appreciated!

I'm currently playing Pokemon Black on my pc using an emulator, and I've managed to get it connected to WiFi. Would it be concidered "bad manner" to participate in trading and battling with my game?

1) I'd love to know how you did that
2) It's only bad manner if you hack illegal, unreleased, or otherwise obviously hacked pokemon, I think. Be careful if you do choose to hack: illegal sets are more common and obvious than you might think.

How did you do that wtf :O

At the moment I've only used an AR to get Celebi so I could start the Zorua event but I guess that falls under cheating rather then hacking.
The reason I ask is because I really don't want to ruin other people's game. So far there's only 2 problems - I generate a new friend code every time I reconnect and the game runs slower then a ds (which means the ds user has to wait after every round).

I still love running scizzor as a batton passer running special defense/defense and HP EV with
1. Batton pass
2. Sword dance
3. Agility
4. X-Scissor or roost (I think he can learn this)
A great physical wall the only type that can really break him is fire being a 4x weakness, but passing to garchomp with 2 swords dance and 2 agility is almost instant win. :D

Because he put an Everstone (item that prevents evolution) on Shelmet, a Pokemon that only evolves when traded vs. a Karrablast. 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?
Well, when they are traded, Shelmet's armour is given to Karrablast for the evolution. A Shelmet without amour looks roughly like Accelgor, and if you look pass an Escaliver's amour, it still has Karrablast's colours.

IR GTS just got released, basically its a program that you can make any pokemon and you send it in your game... I'm not sure how it works but I want to figure it out lol
I think the easiest way to get good hacked Pokemon is to breed them correctly, with the abilities and everything. And then actually EV train it, with pokerus and such and then do an IV modifier... Still takes loads of time and effort. I've never really used Pokesav. I'd prefer my real game to have all the good Poke's and have the actual ID and all that and you pretty much need a flash cart for pokesav yeah?
