Yep, Conversion only picks a type that you don't already have; it always converts to Ghost, and it could even convert back to Normal, though obviously switching him out would be more efficient. Even better, Porygon has a high natural SpAtk, so Tri Attack is still good neutral coverage even without STAB.

Also, you're right, I just noticed I never patched up Mantine's EVs; I wasn't using the default loadout, and I guess I got distracted before I finished setting them.

It is pretty desperately in need of a sweeper, though, and Pinsir's a great choice that I'd forgotten about, despite being a phenomenal suicide lead on my other account's NU. Should fit pretty well with the motif, too, despite being rare and edging out another Poison-type.

It's not like I can cripple my team against fire and ice any more than I already have, haha.

>>12442705
>>12442728

Basically this. Eviolite provides Porygon with great bulk to go with it's good SpAtk and reliable recovery, Croagunk needs to be able to take punches so it can lay down subs/drain punch (though I'm still not sure if I should keep sub, knock off, or vacuum wave in his last slot), and Roselia's a support that already has recovery, so it doesn't need black sludge (and, again, needs to be able to take a hit)

I have some knowledge, but just what a basic competitive battler in the tier should know. It's not my best tier, so I just feeled like you should ask someone else... If you want, I can give you a few advices. Let's see...
>your team is extremely weak to volcarona. can KO everything after SR except salamence, who falls to HP rock. Let's put it, if skarmory has its sturdy broken, you're die. He can setup on Gengar, Alakazam and Scizor, so half of your team.
>Scarf Keldeo can kill everything except Alakazam and Gar with either surf in rain, hydro pump or HP ice.
>no spinner can be problematic for you, as something like LeadKion with taunt and Stealth Rock can easily setup rocks, while you're stuck with salamence and weavile getting their health stripped away. Scizor with LO and gengar's focus sash are both affected too... I'd suggest a spinner instead of Skarmory, but that's just my opinion. Something like Forretress, maybe? spins for you, volt switch to keep momentum, and still SR and Spikes. Even if you want to keep the custap berry gimmick, a quick explosion is useful.

Aaaand that way the laddering for today. This is probably my most successful team as of today.
Basically, a simple voltturn core in Chinchou/Mienfoo/Larvesta, with Mienfoo being scarf and Chinchou/Larvesta being both eviolite offensive versions. I can afford to play relatively recklessly as Chinchou has heal bell to heal status and volt absorb for predicted healing, while Larvesta will usually come in on strong hits and can get out of its counters with U-turn. Meanwhile, Mienfoo hits hard, is fast, and can heal itself with regenerator to stay healthy even in the lategame. Snover is my sand counter and is a semi-wallbreaker, dealing with a lot of threats the team has some problems with (Drilbur, Grass-types, sand, etc). Also a useful revenge killer. MixKrow allows me to break the game in half, often KOing at least two or three pokémon on the opposing team, and allows me to often clean up weakened teams with Mienfoo and Snover. Drilbur provides me with the needed Stealth Rock and spins for my team: It also provides me an insurance against Bronzor, Fire-types and Electric-types. A useful offensive utility 'mon. (I had Staryu in that slot first, both can be used)

Ehh I wouldn't really recommend it. Choice-locked EQ is dangerous in LC, with murkrows and misdreavus running around everywhere, and Life Orb giving you around the same power. Also, you can use Swords Dance with the latter item. Otherwise, eviolite gives some much-needed bulk.

It's just a non-standard tier that's below NU where shitty pokemon like Shedinja, and Bibarel have a better chance at shining. Main thing I like about it is that there's no consensus yet as to what the 100% best pokemon in it are, so you see a decent amount of variety.

Smogon's claimed that they have no intention of making it a standard tier any time soon, so I don't think it would get enough attention for that to happen hopefully. At least not as much as it does for the standard tiers.

Losing Golbat at the start when I was trying to roost really put me behind.

Skip ahead 15 turns or so when Kecleon fights his Tropius, because a whole lot of nothing happens. I was considering trying to PP stall him out of Air Slashes so Simisage could clean up, but in the end decided to just try and make it so I could bring in Simisage while his sub was down which ended up working out.

http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/pu-20184626

Just did a calc and it turns out Tropius with no SpA investment can only do 73% damage to Simisage if he gets a max damage roll, so breaking his sub before bringing Simisage in probably didn't make a single difference. Oops.

Yeah I'm not really sure how I feel about Kecleon. It walls special attackers really really hard especially when they are choice locked into a move that resists itself, but I feel like it can't do much other than Toxic, or T-wave them, and if the opponent has rest, or Substitute then it often becomes a game of chicken with neither person wanting to switch out because whoever does will be at a disadvantage. He still did his job though by killing off Volbeat with the Stealth Rocks which prevented Simisage from being T-waved and dying to the Zweilious.

Try this:

[Adamant] Kecleon w/ Leftovers
Ability: Color Change
EVs: 252HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
-Substitute
-Focus Punch
-Toxic/Thunder Wave/Sucker Punch
-Recover

Seriously this set plays on your opponent being locked into something that resists itself. on the switch you can set up your sub and focus punch or sucker punch. if you go with toxic you run the risk of being walled by Haunter, keep that in mind.

I tried a sub-punching set in 4th gen, but I think I'll give it another go some time soon.

I'd imagine that if you were versus a haunter as a normal type that even if you couldn't touch it it would still take a while for it to take you out since it would have to use Sludge Bomb/HP whatever to make you a type that Ghost can hit, and then it would have to hit you with Shadow Ball to make you Ghost, and then would have to hit you once more with Shadow Ball being super effective to finish you off. Or it would just Trick a Scarf on you.

Man I wish Kecleon could learn Bulk Up, or even Curse.

Yeah I went for a full HP+SDef EV spread on the Porygon since when I tried max HP+max SpA in the past he would always get 2HKO'd so I never got to actually make use of Recover. Not really sure if going so highly defensive is a good idea with this set though since you don't have Discharge or Toxic to spread Status.

PU doesn't actually stand for anything. Say the letters out loud; it's just a joke.

You mean explain the sleep clause being removed? Sleep Clause is under suspect test. They're testing what the game is like without it since Ubers is supposed to be as ban-free as possible. If you get a high enough rating in it you get to vote on whether it should stay unbanned or not.

Don't worry it's almost definitely going to be banned again, so just wait it out.

Damn Pikachu you sure are frail. Also I really don't like Nasty Plot on Pikachu since I really find myself missing out on the coverage. I'd rather use it on Raichu since Raichu is quite a bit faster, but I guess that would ruin the joke.

I've found it easy to get Pikachu to force switches. You just have to bring it in on something he outspeeds, and really threatens, like an Alomomola, or really just about anything slower than him. Just spam substitute if you think there's even a slight chance someone will switch, or status since it's going to be dying in one direct hit anyways, so using 25% of your HP doesn't matter. Then you just hit that Golem with a 4x super effective Grass Knot that just switched in expecting you to T-bolt, and something else is going to have to take a massive hit, and possibly die to break your sub.

Only problem is that he really can't take any hits, so you usually have to sacrifice something to bring him in unless they're using an electric type move.

Quoted By:

>>12443208
A day late, buuut...

Most of your problems probably stem from the fact that Scizor is your only "real" win condition. Hyper offense teams generally tend to run at least two setup sweepers. Some people also argue that at least one of those sweepers be able to boost its speed. Since this makes the matchup against opposing HO and sun a lot easier to play it might be worth to heed their advice.

A quick fix you could try is running a double boost Terrakion (Close Combat, Stone Edge, Swords Dance, Rock Polish @ LO) in place of either Alakazam or Weavile (whichever does less for your team). Alternatively you could try a scarfed variant and return use DD Salamence. You don't have to use Terrakion, any other setup sweeper of your choice would probably work as well. It's just about gaining an additional win condition.

Nitpicks:
Naive > Hasty on Salamence.
Most relevant priority moves are physical.

Jolly (or any other Speed boosting nature) Lonely on Skarmory
Breloom, some really weird Politoed sets, some other stuff nobody ever even uses... Basically Skarmory won't ever need it, but it's still a little less useless than +10% Attack.

EVs: 148 HP / 252 Atk / 108 Spd > 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd on Scizor
Still enough to outspeed defensive Heatran and a little extra bulk is always nice to have. Especially if you don't have many win conditions to work with. Feel free to add some Speed creep (up to 128) if you're paranoid.

There's zero reason to use this over Flying Gem Acrobatics which hits much harder, and frees up a move slot.

They really need to add a good Flying attack with good distribution so things like Aerodactyl, Scyther, and Ninjas can get something other than like Aerial Ace.

This here guys, is my NU Boom team. Would really like some tips and suggestions for it, but right now this team is doing increasingly well.

Its pretty simple in concept, but the real core of the team is Slaking. after I Explode away a threat, Slaking can come in and outspeed and OhKO anything, putting me at a lead. whenever i switch him out, i know that when he comes back, he can secure a KO for me.

any more questions, feel free to ask!

Depends on the Pokemon. If its defensive then I tend to ignore speed unless there's a few specific threats I want to outpace. The best way to do it is to think of a few things you want your Pokemon to deal with, and then look to see if you need to be able to outpace them in order to do so.

Really stupid game. Played really well at the start, but I should have just left Rapidash in to die so it wouldn't get that free sub, and almost got completely swept.

The crit on Kecleon did definitely matter hugely since it would have been able to survive, go for the Recover, lose his fighting weakness, and start Life Orb stalling until his Fire Blast, or Focus Blast missed.

Maybe I should change my Rapidash to Jolly so that it can still out speed Combusken at +1, but I really love the massive amounts of damage Choice Banded Adamant Rapidash can put out.

You are relying on that prediction to take him out. If you predict wrong, you are easily set up on by the myriad of things that resist dark or you are taken out by the thing that stayed in, which would pretty much end the game right there. If you want to really want to support Slaking, you should have things that can take out steel, ghost, and rock types, as well as common substitute users, while setting up and defending hazards from being spun away to turn some of its 2HKOs into 1HKOs.

When my opponent has a misdeavus, and i switch in my slaking, you bet hes probably gonna switch in that misdeavus.. if not, then hes still gonna take quite some damage. and as for steel and rock types, they are a problem, but earthquake is a good move. and Sawk.. well Sawk takes care of all that.

That's assuming you got the prediction correct. Otherwise you're locked into something she's immune to. That Night Slash does 59% - 70% to Misdreavus. Then Misdreavus uses Will-o-Wisp on your Slaking/whatever you switch in. Then it Pain Splits something gaining most of its health back since chances are all your pokemon are at 100% HP because if it's already taken damage it would have already Exploded.

So if Misdreavus does anything other than switch into a predicted Night Slash it's going to have a much easier time doing whatever it wants, and after the first Explosion even the biggest idiot would see the third one coming, and you either have to give up on your strategy for fear of Exploding on a ghost, or take a huge risk.

I'd change Slaking to Scarf Adamant, and Sawk to Mold Breaker Banded so Sawk can be an anti-stealth rock lead to prevent his Exploders' sturdies from being broken, and a wall breaker while Slaking can be a revenge killer. Slaking gets walled hard by the physical walls of whether he's Banded or not.

Most people don't realize Slaking has 100 base speed which is HUGE in NU. Adamant Scarf Slaking outspeeds Jolly Scarf Sawk, and OHKO with Retaliate, or 94% of the time with Return after SR.

Not going to work unless you have either a Yamask, or Cofagrigus on either of the teams.

He's really only good as a Revenge killer who hits really hard and fasts, then switches out into a defensive pivot. He can certainly pull that job off quite well though assuming everything falls into his favor.

Here's another one. Doesn't show too much of a bad opponent but rather how retard stronk Darmanitan is. I can't believe that shit is allowed in UU.

PS. Darmanitan was scarfed. Not even banded.

Even if I was bad, you couldn't have gleamed enough information from such a simple performance to make such a deduction, so shut your fucking mouth.

I got a little lucky with the wobbuffet crit, but Specially defensive Mismagius was pretty much dead weight on my team (still wondering what to replace him with), and wobb was an easy revenge kill. I made some risky predictions and they paid off. Not sure why he kept boosting so much.

The replay you linked shows your (low) rating, your (low) deviation and one of your teams. This is more than enough information to deduce that you are in fact a bad player.

It also shows your name so we can use /rank and the replay archive to gather further evidence of your badness.

Shuckle isnt gonna do any damage with Earthquake buddy, what you need is a toxic stall shuckle with Rest, Toxic, Power Split, and Rollout.

Leftovers is a must, and EVs should be in Defense and Sp Defense. Sturdy is good, but contrary would be better in case your opponent wants to lower your stats.
