hyper beam rocks!

Hyper Beam and the elemental beams actually work quite well in tandem with sleeping moves. Against me and my friend at least, and we aren't too good at competitive play.
IMO they're lifesavers in the game but if you're going competitive then don't use them or you'll be ridiculed and flamed. Damn competitive battlers.
Tyranitar-Rex said:True but understand that I was simply using using Static as an example. There are also other abilities like Flame Body, Poison Poiint, Rough Skin, Effect Spore that I didn't mention. Poison Point and Flame Body pokes can be taken care of by EQ as well, but not Roselia for it's a grass/poison poke with the poison point ability. Also, if you face a Breloom, you will use Return instead of EQ, even though you're risking your poke of getting an abnormal status. :-/

Look, I never said I liked it. I said we were bad and that someone kicked the crap out of us with that combo. I said it was good in-game, like in the E4. Hydro Cannon saved me there.Horn Drill said:Guess what? No one cares if you use shite movesets against your skilless friends. You're only hurting yourself. Just don't try to push them on other people. You'll be ridiculed and flamed for a good reason.
I find it funny that most of you people have hardly ever, maybe never, been to CRMT or at least IGRMT. ._.
It's a reasonable risk to take. Would you rather have Slaking or whoever poisoned or fainted? If you get a status condition, just switch to Blissey or some other healer.![]()

I have been to CRMT a few times out of boredom.Horn Drill said:Anything can work ingame. Just because you beat the Elite Four with a Hydro Cannon-using Blastoise doesn't make it good.
And whose fault is that? We won't insult you unless you really need to be insulted.
And all of this wealth of knowledge about how we competitive battlers act all the time is coming from somebody who's never been to CRMT. ._.

No flame wars please.
Shun said:Tsk... Tsk... I think both of ya are picking fights. Simple as that. If someone holds a mightier than thou tone(even if you can beat them) expect someone to take offense. If someone blames one of being insulting expect the one you blame to take offense. Simple as that.
As for hyper beam, I will once again reiterate that it is fine(not best but not worst) in game where if you KO with it you can switch. Should have let that happen competively in my opinion. Would have made it something other then a last resort suicide move(weak compared to the others of that type) for pokes who don't get the 'Go Boom' moves. That is of course assuming there is nothing else you want that could go there.
Look, i dont know about you, or anyone else here, but i find getting blissy a waste of time and effort, simply for the fact that your gonna waste 3 turnsjust switch to Blissey or some other healer.
and Correct me if im wrong, but normals dont get STABsand it only gets STAB from Normal types

Switching
Healing
Switching again
in that time, you could peobly have over done the damage done by the stat effect and just destroied the opponent
and Correct me if im wrong, but normals dont get STABs
I dont use slacking. I prefer Tyranatar.Horn Drill said:Would you rather do that to heal all your status conditions and absorb pretty much any Special Attack, or let your Slaking be burned and useless?
Science when? I Know they didnt used to... I thinkThey do.
dynamo said:Hyper beam sucks. Period.
Even on Slaking it sucks, Slaking can't be switched out because of Hyper beam.

I also havent had HB on him in a LLOOONNNGGGG time, He has Mega Punch insted, because they get traded around so much, Return is pretty useless.Horn Drill said:Tyranitar used Hyper Beam!
