I just got an amusing mental image of a blood covered azumarill chewing on a horribly maimed Ninetails carcass like those old wilderness nature documentaries.

I giggled.  But that probably means I have a messed up imagination.

This is a weird tangent to go on, but I require your help in finding a certain Pokemon LP. I could have sworn it was on SA's LP Archive, but it doesn't seem to be there...

Anyhoo, I'm pretty sure it was of either Leaf Green or Fire Red. Main character was a gamer girl, her starter was a Gulpin, and aside from the screenshots I'm pretty sure there was also some pretty good art. If anyone can throw me a link, it would be appreciated.

THANK YOU.

Gen 6 gets the super contrary user though, Malamar. Spinda got nothing on that guy.

A lot of the Gen 6 pokemon are actually quite creative (though there's less of them this time). Almost all of them have unique powers and abilities. Even what would normally have been garbage pokemon in other games are actually useful here.

Diggersby has huge power STAB earthquake + STAB quick attack for donkeyballs damage. Can also get belly drum for even more shenanigans.

Talonflame is Talonflame.

Vivillon is the 97.5% accuracy hurricane + quiver dance monster

Etc.

I have fallen in love with rhyperior.  I know the smogon site says it's garbage, but it's a rhinoceros with frikkin cannons in its hands!  What is not to like?

(4x, not 3x.)


If you can get sticky web support, and maybe paralyse the opponent, then Rhyperior is insane.

[Greiger]

The one I have has solid rock, which makes super effective less effective. 
It is often paired with my jolteon though, maybe I oughta see how well he rolls a paralysed team.

[umiman]

Sticky web really isn't going to help. Rhyperior's speed is 40. One of the lowest in the game.

He's good though. His stone edge and his earthquake are legendary in power. He's actually very potent in 2v2 and 3v3 because he has lightningrod. In those multibattles, guys like Rhyperior and Heatran do very well when sitting behind a substitute. You can even give him weakness policy for even more shenanigans.

[Reudh]

Smogon doesn't really hate it - its speed and spdef are just too low to use. It can make... some... use out of a Rock Polish set, which after one boost puts it at max 392 Speed, enough to outspeed most unboosted pokemon that are not Crobat, Deoxys or similar. It isn't terrible on SpDef, given that its HP can make up for the low SpDef, and a sandstorm pumps that up by 50%, and Solid Rock makes it survive more.

If you face a team that is fast and little else, it's not a bad mon to use, because it can survive most hits they dish out, but it really needs some way of alleviating that bad speed.

[umiman]

Eeeeh... my current pokemon team doesn't have a single pokemon with speed greater than 95 and it does incredibly well. It's all about how you use it.

If you like the pokemon, I'm sure it'll work somehow. Unless you like Unown or something.

[Reudh]

let's see... my team that i'm using currently, not counting the ones that aren't in it yet as they're unfinished:

one has 71 speed
one has 80 speed
one has 110 speed
one has 122 speed
one has 105 speed
and the last one has 104 speed

Wow. So my slowest is 71, and my fastest is 122 speed. That's not too bad, in terms of the speed of my party.

[Greiger]

I'm still working out a moveset for him.  Right now he has rock slide, poison jab, protect (haha you can't kill me this turn while my partner blasts you), and earthquake.

Glad to see the general opinion isn't all that bad about it though.    It's currently holding a quick claw which gives me the occasional SURPRISE RIDICULOUSLY POWERFUL ROCKSLIDE! which has already brought about a couple ragequits.  But I've heard quick claw is kinda poor form.

[umiman]

Yeahh... it's pretty stupid. Then again, this is the 3DS version where shit like double-team is fine-diddly-o, so feel free to do what you want.

Rhyperior gets double-team by the way.

Finally got a Japanese 6IV Ditto. It's breeding passionately with Chimchar now. Matsuda Method, here I come!
