• Hi all
    Just a notice, we recently discovered that someone got into a moderator account and started hard deleting a load of key and legacy threads...around 150 threads have been lost dating back to 2007 and some weeks ago so we can't roll the forums back.
    Luckily no personal data could be accessed by this moderator, and we've altered the permissions so hard deleting isn't possible in the future
    Sorry for any inconvenience with this and sorry for any lost posts.

Hi, hoyhoy99 and Xack Ace Attorney! What would you guys like to have as your nicknames?


Guys, I need advice for non-OU (UU-NU tiers) mono-flying team.
Also, I have a yellow house that my family is trying to sell. We're currently trying to figure out a good color to repaint our fence. What color could complement the light yellow color of my house? Please help, I've asked my friends everywhere, and no one has responded!

A dark purple might work. Dark enough that it doesn't stand out, but light enough that people can see it's purple. Idk, only a suggestion.

Welcome new members! I'll call you Hoy and Xack probably. Can't be bothered to remember your usernames. I'm Ponymon, co-leader of the Land Sector. Call me Norns, it was my username when I joined THT and I prefer members calling me that.

So will we start making a war team? It needs changing. We need to do tests this time. Ninja, you want to organise it?

Also, my family found a bird with an injured wing in our garden. We tried calling the RSPCA but they didn't give us much advice. Our neighbour saw us over our fence and we told her about the bird. She picked it up and put it in a shoebox then phoned her brother who's a birdkeeper and asked him what to do. He said we should kill it. We're going to get our local vet to put it down tomorrow, but I'm sad because it's a baby bird and I've always wanted to find an injured animal and look after it until it gets better, and now it's just going to be put down. Oh well, it probably wouldn't survive in our house because of my cat.

Imma get infracted for spam now.

I remember this time once, when I was a bout to give away my female Blaziken with egg moves.... then I realized that I didn't move the pokemon out of my Pokemon Sapphire yet. So, I tried to migrate it to my Pearl (Then use Poke Transfer) when I remembered that I erased the save file.....
with my Blaziken inside.


*facepalm*

@Ponymon: Why? Why dark purple to go with light yellow? That does not make sense.

@SexyCowboy: 0-o well then, that's…
You know I never understood the point and mechanics of Join Avenue. All I know is I got a few people from school (most likely freshman) that got onto my Join Avenue and I was able to unlock a hairstylist and training gym. I never use the hair stylist since it lowers EVs while raising happiness, which can easily be attained by battling.

@Zack: okay, will do.

And I only cried for 20 hours." -Spongebob

@Icarus: Ikr? I'm a junior in high school and I'm frequently checking if anyone has made any posts on this thread. I thought most of the members here are of a younger age and I would expect them to have more time than I do!

@Andrew: gotcha

For my initial analysis on sixth gen, and this is initial and just speculative, Pancham's evo will be able to bring down opponents' Attack and Sp.Attack stats. And then it can switch out with a Pokémon that can be a wall, or staller. Parting Shot will be quite risky, however. Even if Pancham-Evo is the first Pokémon out on the field, the opponent may throw out some entry hazards. So perhaps by using Taunt as your first move, and then Parting Shot, offense gets cut immediately.
Here's a sequence for those who may not understand:
Pancham-Evo is put onto the field.
Forretress is put onto the field.
Pancham-Evo uses Taunt! The opponent's Forretress fell for the Taunt!
Forretress can't use Stealth Rock/Toxic Spikes because of the Taunt!
Pancham-Evo uses Parting Shot! The opponent's Forretress's Attack and Sp.Attack fell!
Pancham-Evo went back to its PokéBall.
Of course, the next Pokémon can hit-and-switch back to Pancham-Evo. Opponents may have fast flying types this gen, so that may be the only worry for Pancham and its evo in battle.
Imagine Pancham or its evo having Regenerator (highly, highly unlikely)!

great analysis.
it wouldn't surprise me if he did get regenerator, as Mienshao got it and abuses it quite well.

Well, Mienfoo and Mienshao are cats so Regenerator fits well with the nine lives myth. However, even before nine returns to its capsule it can faint.
If there are any connections to pandas that involve them being able to regenerate, then I would find the ability plausible. Otherwise, Pancham should have a new ability or Moxie.

Can anyone give me some tips on competitive team building? I've never tried before and it's all very overwhelming. Thanks

Well first off, find your core. Find out what kind of team you want to make, and what pokemon you want to be your main focus.

Find out what pokemon work best with your main mons, what pokemon cover your weaknesses. You also want to pick your pokemon based on the top threats of your tier.

I can't give advice, I'm not great at team building.

@Geno I dunno, just thought there'd be an interesting contrast. Go for a darker colour when you paint the fence though. Maybe a red or something. Yellow is a crap colour

I'm thinking about opening my W2 (which I've kept in package since I bought it a few days after release) and doing a monotype run. Does anyone want to start their B/W 2 again and join me?

More new members. What a surprise :p

~ I can't get onto Smogon. Is it just a Smogon problem or is my internet blocking it?
~ I'm going to start Platinum. Team is undecided. Probably do what I did with W2 and one of my HG run-throughs (the badass one, with Typhlosion and Politoed and Bellossom and Electabuzz and Umbreon and Honchkrow).
~ I need a new OU team.

Maybe I should just make a Monotype flying team since Flying OU pokémon shouldn't be left out.

@Andrew: I agree. Competitive battle preparation is tedious and sometimes intimidating! However, your hard work pays off so much!
Here are some guidelines
First, know all of the terms of Pokémon in competitive battling. These can include
Offensive:
-Physical/Special Attacker (offensive Pokémon with either all physical moves or special moves, mainly requires Pokémon high in Speed as well)
-Mixed Attacker (has good Attack and Sp.Attack along with a great mixed movepool, Speed also quite necessary)
-(Physical/Special) Tank (high in Attack/Sp.Attack and/or Defense/Sp.Defense with a good offensive movepool, Speed is necessary, but working on defenses is still priority)
-Bulky Attacker (similar high offense and defense, can provide more hits than most attackers)
-Glass Cannon/All-Out Attacker (attacks other team with no intention to play safe. Low defenses, high offense, good-high speed, and decent-good HP)
-SubPunch (refers to Pokémon with Substitute and Focus Punch)

Supportive-Defensive:
-SubSeed (refers to Pokémon with Substitute and Leech Seed)
-Wall (high defensive qualities, HP training is necessary, may not have too many attacks but makes up for it with keeping the opponent at bay)
-DualScreens (refers to Walls that raise the team's Defense and Sp.Defense with Reflect and Light Screen, attackers can land more hits because the whole team's defenses were raised)
-Stalls (high HP & Defense/Sp.Defense, uses non-attacking moves to keep the battle from progressing (hence stall), induces sleep or poisons opponent while staying protected by certain moves)
-StallBreaker (uses Taunt to keep Stallers from holding up the battle, Stall Pokémon with four non-attacking moves will result in Struggle, can attack and faint a Stall) (stallbreakers are really more supportive than offensive)
-Passers (Pokémon who use Baton Pass after raising their own stats and pass the increase to the next Pokémon)
-Support (provides good support to other members by helping them recover HP or induce status conditions that may activate the other Pokémon's ability)

These are general battle roles that can be used in really effective ways. DualScreen Pokémon can give good support to Tanks and Attackers in general.

If you need to find Pokémon that can give you Effort Values, you can check the main site in the Game Mechanics section.
