Re: So have you heard about...

Oh heh, sorry about that. And yeah, mixed attacker - I figured that with a Hasty nature, I might as well, right? Plus, I'm guessing a lot of people will think, "Okay, there'll be a STAB move, a coverage move, a boosting move, and something else", and wouldn't really be expecting four different types of moves, two of which have STAB. (My Lucario in White 2 is a physical attacker - Jolly nature, has Earthquake, Ice Punch - which pretty much got him the nickname Dragon Slayer - and Shadow Claw, plus Aura Sphere, since it was probably my best STAB option. Force Palm was too weak, Close Combat had the defense drop and low PP, Brick Break I don't think was as powerful as 90-power Aura Sphere, Low Kick is unreliable, and Drain Punch... I think still wasn't as powerful as Aura Sphere? It was my second choice, though. Anyway, I'm rambling.)

Honestly, I'm not sure what I'd do against a Poison stall team! I'm short on recovery moves, aside from Draining Kiss and Giga Drain, wouldn't really know how to counter it aside from 'try to knock out opponent as fast as possible'... That's very cool, though :) Vaporeon is amazing, I hadn't used one before Y but damn, he was good.

My Dragalge was pretty cool :) And yeah, as mentioned, Vaporeon was just fantastic. Ended up being pretty similar to Lapras in the sense that he managed to shake off a LOT of hits and get a lot of crits. Oh, that rhymes. This is the Y team, 'scuse the different format:

- Amaranth the Aromatisse | level 73 | Healer | Gentle | Capable of taking hits | Draining Kiss, Moonblast, Attract, Calm Mind
- Lucky the Vaporeon | level 73 | Water Absorb | Mild | Likes to relax | Surf, Waterfall, Ice Beam, Strength
- Kale the Chesnaught | level 72 | Overgrow | Relaxed | Impetuous and silly | Brick Break, Spiky Shield, Seed Bomb, Earthquake
- Balsamic the Meowstic | level 72 | Keen Eye | Naughty | Likes to fight | Signal Beam, Thunderbolt, Thunder Wave, Psychic
- Holly the Dragalge | level 72 | Poison Point | Naughty | Likes to relax | Thunderbolt, Dragon Pulse, Sludge Bomb, Scald
- Annie the Drifblim | level 71 | Aftermath | Bold | Good perserverance | Shadow Ball, Phantom Force, Fly, Payback

(Lucky got his name because DO YOU KNOW HOW HAPPY I WAS THAT THE FIRST ROUTE 10 ENCOUNTER WAS AN EEVEE? It was amazing :D )

Ooh, okay! I love Sigilyph - used one in White, and then again in White 2, heh. Very cool typing and a decent moveset. And damn, Battle Maison can be brutal, from what I've heard. I've been contemplating trying the singles battles (I figure that with my Lucario, Delphox, and Lapras, I have pretty decent coverage?) and seeing how that goes.

Eh, not really. With Adaptability and 145/140 offensive stats, it doesn't need boosting moves or coverage moves. And with a 112 Speed stat, anyone who has visited Smogon once should know to put up a Protect or, worse case scenario, sacrifice someone, to figure out what set it's running, before switching in to an appropriate wall. Or someone faster/more priority I guess, depending on what kind of team you're running. Talonflame could probably safely switch in and then destroy with Flare Blitz.

Oooh recovery moves don't help against Toxic because it takes away more and more HP with every move! The only way to stop one is to either use a status-healing move like Heal Bell or Aromatherapy, or use a Poison or Steel-type Pokemon because they're immune to Poison. ...Unless, of course, the opponent is using a Gliscor to Toxic-stall because Gliscor can take both out with Earthquake. Okay, don't let me run off on tangent about Toxic-stalling. I'm going to write an article about it someday but not in this comment box.

Heh your Dragalge's moveset is almost exactly the same as mine except I used Draco Meteor instead. Aromatisse is a sweet Pokemon, and with the right support, a very good cleric/healer! I used her once and she was a lot of fun. Nah man, don't bring your Lapras and Delphox. Don't bring coverage, bring a lot of offense and one recovery. Coverage means nothing when the opponent is using OHKO moves, or abusing evasion moves until it's practically impossible to hit. Your only solution is to take everything out with a lot of offense and a lot of speed. I'm thinking of using a Lucario myself, I am so fed up of getting hit in the face with OHKO moves -_-;

Oh huh, okay... well, I did say I was new at this XD;; What would be the best way to use my Lucario?

Oh, right! Well, Lucario is part-Steel and Roserade is part-Poison... and wouldn't be a bad choice against a Gliscor, since Ground is only neutral. And sure, heh.

And damn, okay... To get around the evasion moves, something like Aura Sphere would work, wouldn't it? Unless it's a Ghost, at least. Hmm... I'd have to consider it.
