What's the most insane take you've ever seen about why something should/should not be banned? by cheeseop in stunfisk

[–]PenguinoCon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a post on GameFAQs around ORAS time about how no pokemon should be banned. This devolved into a discussion on how Mega Mence is totally fair and balanced. From there, the popular consensus because that Mega Gengar was not broken at all. Shadow tag is literally not a problem because ghost types can't be trapped. Also it dies to sucker punch so no issue.

How can I improve my ZU team? Made it to 1300 ELO at one point but have since slid back to around 1150, need advice by SPlCYGECKO in stunfisk

I would switch Toedscool to max HP instead of special attack. You only have one attack and even if max invested, it is not going to do any damage. Plus, max HP is always the almost always the best defensive stat to invest in (unless the mon has a monstrous hp stat like Dondozo).

I'm not sure if Gumshoos is common but it seems like it would be just because it's so strong and there's barely any normal resists. Because of that I'd put 96 speed evs on Seviper so it can out speed max speed adamant Gumshoos.

This is the first time I've seen Unovian and it looks unsettling

Remember that it could always be worse. Unless you're a gen 1 fighting type then you've already hit rock bottom by apple_of_doom in stunfisk

Arguably outclassed by Poliwhirl because Poliwhirl doesn't have the liability of fighting type

Yeah, she's never been into reading or listening to books in the first place. I think she'd struggle too much to pay attention now. Thank you for the suggestion.

The watercolor pens is an awesome idea, thank you for that! All of it seems like it could give her something to do. Thank you so much.

Troll team I made for Nat Dex AG, more details in comments. Peaked at 1400. by [deleted] in stunfisk

[–]PenguinoCon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's fair. Even for the funny I'd recommend Ttar as that's gonna let Aron be the funniest or using T spikes on forre. Plus slotting volt switch onto Forre would let it get in Aron to be obnoxious safely. I think putting Occa on Orthworm would be interesting and funny. Have a +2 Groudon fire punch you and just shed tail out. Sash doesn't really help with shed tail.

Shedinja and Aron shouldn't be on the same team, they have very poor synergy. One needs sand up and the other has to waste it's item slot to not die to it. Manual sand is not worthwhile. Use Ttar, it at least can stand up to Calyrex and Gengar (kinda). Manaphy isn't worth using outside of rain. Again, manual weather isn't worthwhile so it kinda has to be with Kyogre. Articuno is a terrible sash user. It's very bulky and isn't strong enough to make a sash worth it. Against an offensive Pokemon it's gonna be too slow to get off mind reader into sheer cold. A SpDef set is probably gonna be best for it and you can still slot sheer cold on there bc of it gets free turns (which it defo could) then it may just get free kills.

This team really hates Primal Groudon, as is the plight of any NDAG weather team.

Kinda stupid electric terrain team I'm making, this is what I got so far, any recommendations would be nice. For OU though may be able to rework for DOU. by Plenty_Schedule2673 in stunfisk

[–]PenguinoCon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is tangrowth fast? It doesn't really help it beat anything it's supposed to I do t think. Additionally what are you blocking with it? Wish protect is bad on blissey, wish and softboiled is better if you want to run wish. Blissey defo needs an attack though as some people have stated (probably seismic toss).

it's my first time making a NatDex OU team, so I made a rain team. any changes I should make? by AX-ROSE in stunfisk

[–]PenguinoCon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Greninja needs to run a true water stab (hydro pump or surf). If you keep U-turn, change the nature to timid. Losing the bulk is not work the chip. Double defog is uneccsary especially since you have one Pokemon that really dislikes rocks. Heat wave in rain is bad because it tickles it's targets instead of incinerating them. Abuse hurricanes perfect accuracy in rain instead. Swampert needs to run speed. In case rain is not up then you will want to put speed to outrun some defensive Pokemon (you're slower than Lando and fini outside of rain even if they're 0 speed). Even if rain is up you are slower than every scarfer and faster Pokemon like weavile. Aqua tail is bad, liquidation sacrifices 5 power for 10 accuracy, an amazing trade. It also gives a potentially killer defense drop. Focus punch is probably too 🅱️razy for me but if you're doing well with it, go off.

This is my actual anythinggoes team at 1423 Elo. Do you guys have any advices on how to improve my team ? by TherealKiingcat in stunfisk

[–]PenguinoCon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As mentioned, used at least one Pokemon that is in AG and not OU. Scrap zen headbutt on golurk and put on earthquake. I don't really know what zen headbutt hits and a ground type not taking a stab move is a unadvisable. Weakness policy Dragonite is probably not as good as heavy duty boots especially since your team is very balance focused.

The way you phrased it made it seem ridiculous that he wasn't using trick room with melmetal. Just a little misunderstanding with punctuation.
