Strategy VS Offense! A battle of superiority!

Ok, so earlier a fight between Master Gatr,randomn00b,rerunner89, and SandslashYO! started. It was about which was better?; Stat changing moves or Offensive moves! This thread will prove which theory is right! But as for me, I on the offensive side! Before we sart this the the team of Redrunner and sandslashYO! must find another person who agrees because I want in! And I have the right, so either get another person, or if your so confident, take us all on!

But before that I will post the two teams and who is on them! And if you want to be in this war, Tell me, ill add you to the team you want! but...
No more supporters PLEASE!

I think these changed MS's really kick! Thanks to Frost Nova for the move sets and making me realize offense is ok, but Strategy really kicks butt when up against pure offense alone. I would like to thank otterpops,rerunner, and sandsladYO! for help turn me around too!

OK? now with that said...BRING IT ON!

O_O I thought this was going to be a private WiFi match. Still, Rizadon, you have huge flaws in your team. It contains Pokemon from NU (Mighteyena), UU (Grumpig, Glalie), BL (Charizard), and OU (Donphan, Swampert). I guess its a favorites team?

Also, you have moves of the same type, outclassed moves, unneeded moves, and moves that just don't fit with the Pokemon (Grumpig with Giga Attack?). If you plan to play me on WiFi, you better change your team fast or you'll get your *** handed to you on a platter. I know you like all out attack, but I seriously believe that you should add some supportive moves in your team.

Alright, wimp, when I get Diamond, I'll take you on.

I like strategy, remember?

(Is that okay, Otter and Sandy?)

oh great, i never expected anyone to shorten my name to sandy. well, when you get diamond, i wouldn't mind if you teach him a thing or two, just let me know how much pwnage you dealt.

@rizadon: how would this thread prove which theory is right? The only way any proof can be presented is by acual battles. I dunno, but did you want us to post our teams??

LOL, that other thread made me laugh so hard.

But what exactly is happening here? Are the good people battling against the noobs to teach them a lesson or something?

I wanna join in on the fun =/

You can't even begin to imagine how much i was laughing at thier posts. I'm certain that the "Line of ultimate pwnage" is a long one though, you'd have to wait your turn. lol

Edit: THis one made me LMAO
supportive moves are there cuz people probably complained to nintendo to put them there, cuz thats not what pokemon battling is about, attacking is.

I mean, where did they learn their stuff? They must SERIOUSLY be on the slow side if they think Thunder on Aggron will do anything to anyone besides Gyarados.

Meh, I can wait. But they'll probably be motionless in awe of how badly they'd been pwned...

Maybe thinking is too hard for these people? That's why they can't see support moves are obviously as important(more imo) as offensive ones.

The first thread made me laugh so hard.

Pure offense sucks balls. Nuff said. 10% boost items? 2 offensive moves of the same type? Blast Burn? You've gotta be kidding me. No offense to the thread owner, but you really suck.

Charizard@lefties
Modest / Timid Nature
- Flamethrower
- Dragon Pulse
- Air Slash
- Feather Rest

OR

Charizard@lefties
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance / Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Aerial Ace
- Flare Drive / Fire Blast

Glalie@lefties
Rash Nature
- Ice Beam
- Shadow Ball / Dark Pulse
- Spikes
- Explosion

Donphan@lefties
Impish Nature
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide / Stone Edge
- Rest
- Counter / Ice Pebble

Or a more offensive version:

Donphan@lefties
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide / Stone Edge
- Rock Cart
- Ice Pebble / Fire Fang / Thunder Fang

Swampert@lefties
Brave / Relaxed Nature
- Curse
- Earthquake
- Waterfall
- Arm hammer / Rest / Snow Slide

Grumpig@lefties
Modest Nature
- Calm Mind
- Psychic
- Shadow Ball / Energy Ball / Power Gem / Focus Bomb
- Shadow Ball / Energy Ball / Power Gem / Focus Bomb

That's why noobs fail: they fail to realise that without statup moves they will be outwalled, outstalled, and outclassed by everything else that have statup moves.

I really don't know and i don't care. I dunno about you, but i was the same way, but even then i wondered if i used these moves, like swords dance, would i be able to OHKO opponents. yep, I'm hoping to battle them on WiFI, as well as against trainers with actual skill.

yay, frost nova is here.

Same as me.

I'm tired of the type of noobs that are here in the thread. Some are actually good; they listen to you, and come back when they know their stuff(I was one of them).

Which reminds me, I put up an RMT, so...

I haven't seen you around 3rd generation RMT for a long time: where've you been?

loss of interest w/ a combination of laziness. I still play my LeafGreen though. my excitement of the upcoming games brought me to rate teams here, plus the 3rd gen section doesn't need me, there are plenty of knowledgable people there.

Oh well. Everyone was a noob once: the memory of having a Sceptile with Fury Cutter and Aerial Ace was certainly painful enough to stick with me. As long as they do acknowledge that they are noobs. Or newbs, to stick with the technical term.

Even so, 3rd gen RMT's pretty quiet right now, since most of the pro raters are gone. Even F_M only shows up once in a while. So yeah, it's basically me, aragornbird and a couple of other people in there.

And still we get noobs who think might is right. I thought we had a fair share of noobness: I was wrong. This place is much worse. There are a couple of good raters around here though.

This isnt a rate my team post, and you can battle on line. I dont remember how....I'll have to get my buddies from GT over here and tell me again. But I didnt mean to start something here, And I plan on changind the first post's movesets. Just, I dont know what otterpop's problem is, I dont recall saying anything to him, and once my Diamond is up to speed, ( I still dont have it, it comes out in spring ) Ill trade some pokemon over and stuff. But Im not saying strategy sucks. Infact, without strategy I wouldn't have won the JAA in miami. of course, offense costs me my lose in the finals.....now Im confused on whhich team im on......ok. Im on strategy with a couple offense moves. Is that ok? Because Im going for strategy now....I realized I was wrong without battle but Wilton (Master Gatr) is stuborn and wont take this lightly. Once he gets WiFi it wont matter if we win....He wil still think he is suporior. That's just how he rolls, dont take it personally.

Alrighty. An all-Offensive team, while good In-Game, will not stand a chance elsewhere. Startegic moves are important. For example, somone managed to OHKO my Steelix once with PorygonZ, using Tri-Attack, since he had used two Schemes. Anyway:

Charizard @Charcoal
Moves;
Blast Burn
Flare Drive
Earthquake
dragon rage

Blast Burn? Dragon Rage? This thing isn't taking anything down. Also, Gyarados says hello.

Glalie @Nevermeltice
Ice Beam
Sheer Cold
Crunch
Blizard

Steel types resist this thing so easily, it isn't funny.

Donphan @Soft Sand
Fissure
Earthquake
Take down
Giga Attack ( not drain, Attack )

Lucky for you there's no Steel/Flying types that are commonly used! [/sarcasm]

Swampert@Mystic Water
muddy Water
Arm Hammer
Focus Bomb
Hyper Beam

Fuwaraido loves this guy!

Grumpig @Twisted Spoon
Psychic
Focus Bomb
Giga Attack
Hyper Beam

Giga Attack AND Hyper Beam? What the heck? Mirakuga and Sableye are laughing.

Mightyena @Focus Band
Iron Tail
Crunch
Take Down
Shadow ball

Mightyena isn't that great. Period.

OK? now with that said...BRING IT ON!

I'll glady "Bring it on", just because I'm bored. I'll take the other side.

I can see that, but when I was posting it still wasn't edited.

It's good to see you've changed your stance. I remember when I was young, I loved all offensive. It wasn't until the 3rd Gen that I realised I had to change my ways.
