Uh what?
As far as I'm aware Roar and Whirlwind are both reflected by Magic Coat and I know that Taunt sure as hell is.
Dragon Tail does not get reflected but that's because it causes damage.

and then ttar switches in, is immune to stored power, resists air slash and has high SpeD and has roar, well, mine at least.
btw, magic coat does reflect nearly everything, but you can't do anything in that turn too.
and a mold breaker pokemon can switch in on magic coat and murder it. Especially haxorus with dual chop, breaking sub with the first hit and doing damage with the second.

acrobatics drifblim with unburden is much more fun anyway.
so has anyone tried playing on the wi-fi online ladder yet? do disconnects count as losses, etc?

I'd honestly suggest switching out your Gengar (although he is my favorite poke) for a Chandlure as he can run pretty much the same set with Fire Blast/Flamethrower instead of Psychic (it has bad coverage anyway). He's more powerful but a tad slower than Gengar.
Every other fire type is utterly outclassed by one of the above (Magmortar is the same as chand without Ghost typing to help it switch in and less SpA, Arcanine has a horrible movepool and is outclassed by Darm, Charizard and Moltres are 4x SR weak but good otherwise, and the rest are just all shit all the time).
*It is 4x weak to SR, but that allows it to sub to a berry (Petaya gives it +1 SpA when it hits 25%) and get a Quiver Dance off, giving it +2 SpA and +1 Spe and allowing it to wreck face.
EDIT: Also might I suggest Dragon Dance over Bounce? Ice Fang still hits the grass Types and 2 Dragon Dances is auto-win against most teams. Er Speed Boost Blaziken? Also Infernape gets an honorable mention. He's frail but fast and hits hard. Go DW
1) He asked for non-starters.
2) It's banned.
Also I finally got my lazy ass around to beating the game, but had to buy a new router (we got ours from Windstream and it only uses WPA whereas DS will only work with WEP) just got it online.

Actually, if you use Black and White on a DSi or 3DS, you can connect to Wi-Fi via WPA encryption.
Of course though, I only have an original DS and a DS Lite. T_T

I got 3 people in my vicinity who don't have any encryption at all, at least for the last 2 years. Don't know how they get by with that >_>

I was reading from the beginning of this thread and found how inappropriate this comment has become in light of recent events to be so distastefully funny.

Er my entire neighborhood is pretty much encryption free. Nobody does bad things here I guess.

Tell this to all the people who switch in setup sweepers on my Drifblim and then find they can't break a Swoobat with Drifblim's sub and 3 stockpiles.

I think you have to connect to someone you know. I tried connecting to expand my city but meh 
Didn't realize how the city worked at first =/ owell not a big deal i suppose

I like how I thought I had a nice team with Emboar/Krookodile/Eelektrik/Musharna and then I come here and realize I hardly know anything about Pokemon past the single player.
It's both exciting but scary at the same time.

Nintendo has nothing to do with the VGC, actually.

VGC is tons more entertaining and enjoyable then 6v6 Singles, for the most part. It takes a different kind of skill, as well. It's more competitive than Singles, too.

I'm new to competitive pokemon and have no fucking clue how to approach it.. Where the hell do I start? I'm like in 6th gym in poke white, so is there a certain way I need to train my pokemon for EVs or whatever. Anyone help xD?

Not for in-game, no. You only -need- to EV train for WiFi and real tournaments.

Yeah I meant for Wifi. I dont really get EVs and IVs though, confusing..

Just a question, for example my Emboar is currently level 50 with the following stats:
HP 184
Attc 154
Def 78
sp.attcl 110
sp.def 85
speed 86
Now when comparing to these stats with serbeii.net's stats at lvl 50 it seems that my embaor is not so good, I'm assuming this has something to do withe EVs and IVs. But I want know, how do you raise a perfect pokemon. For example, If I want a new emboar do I eventually breed one?

You probably didn't specifically EV train your Emboar for specific stats; the max stats @ level 50 given by serebii are with max IVs and EVs in those stats (which you almost certainly do not have if you didn't specifically EV train it).
That being said, if you're looking to get the best Emboar possible, then yes you must breed for natures and IVs. Once you get a satisfactory Tepig, you EV train it.
