If you're battling someone on WiFi and want to use a specific ruleset make sure the other person knows and agrees to it. Otherwise it's anything goes, the point isn't to make friends, it's to win and a LOT of people don't care about Smogon metagames let alone actually adhere to them with their in game team. You're just coming across as a big whiny baby who got his rear end beat down. You're going to face the exact same poo poo if you head into ranked matches so better get used to it.

Well you couldn't generally speaking because most of those are banned in Online poo poo or banned even in smogon's dumb rules. I'm not sure what this list of bullshit has to do with you bitching about them not playing by a rule that's not even real by Smogon standards (Note: Not talking about the Evasion thing right here!) There's no such thing as a Status clause for anything besides Sleep, which is now a dumb rule since the sleep counter no longer resets on swap out/in.

Last night Avlein was bragging about completely crippling teams with his attract spamming Klefki and everyone was laughing at it. Goons aren't adverse to running annoying as hell strategies. I mean it sucks to lose to something like spore spam but take the loss and move on. What's the big deal?

I think I've found my favorite strategy for online battles. I start out with a Speed Boost Scolipede and use Iron Defense 2-3 times and then once I'm all buffed up I Baton Pass it to a Clefable with Calm Mind, Softboiled, Moon Blast, and Stored Power. So many forfeits once I get use a couple Calm Minds. The best part is when they see me buff up and try to Toxic or Leech Seed Clefable to stall me out. It runs straight into Magic Guard

Spamming strangers on the subway with O-Powers when you see them in your Passerby is pretty much the best feeling. At least here in NYC, I get at least a few a day. My one problem with this game is there's basically no use for Street Pass and Play Coins don't do anything at all

I'm not positive about random doubles, but it's probably the same way.

Klefki. Someone explain to me why people are using Klefki and how they use it to win. I've been in over a hundred online battles now, and every time they send out a Klefki they typically forfeit shortly afterwards. I have a Klefki ready to be bred in my stash, but I just can't figure out why people are using it.

Solartide posted:Klefki. Prankster + Swagger/T-Wave/Toxic/any number of things. It takes some game sense to use well but if you can it's a beast. Most pubbies get stomped by one and then think "Hey it's good, I'll use it!" and then fail at using it correctly. It's typing is pretty good as well, weak to only Fire and Ground IIRC. It will die to one of those but if you know what you're doing it'll take a bit to get through the RNG/Walling.

Solartide posted:Klefki. Klefki has Prankster and, as such, is good at being a giant rear end in a top hat. Substitute/Thunder Wave/Swagger/Foul Play is what I've seen most often. Confuse the guy and hope for a self-hit, then Thunder Wave, hide, and kill them with their own power. If you aren't set up to take the little poo poo out, they can stay in quite awhile. I've seen Recycle in place of both TWave and Swagger. Give it a Sitrus Berry and get it back while hiding.

Well that explains it. I know Prankster is the key element with Klefki, so I've been bringing in MAbsol for Magic Bounce to counter Klefki. And I never see them do anything before they forfeit.

Well, even Parasect is kinda cute in Amie. Parasect. That goofy grin owns. So at this point, I declare all Pokemon to be cute in Pokemon Amie until proven otherwise. And I intend to check every single one eventually.  But how does Hitmonlee eat? Where did the cake go? The mysteries of Pokemon are truly endless.

Speaking of Magic Bounce, I'm thinking of adding Espeon to my doubles team. I need to evolve Eevee during the day to get it - at what time does the game consider the shift from 'night' to 'morning' and vice versa? I haven't evolved an Eevee that way since Gold/Silver and I remember the mechanic being obtuse back then.McDragon posted:Well, even Parasect is kinda cute in Amie. Parasect. That goofy grin owns.

The bug is a mindslave to the mushroom on it's back, then when it's done sucking the bug dry it infects the young too. "When nothing's left to extract from the bug, the mushrooms on its back leave spores on the bug's egg."

Wonder Trade remains hilarious. I got a female Charmeleon from the Friend Safari, but it had Blaze. So, I Wonder Traded it for the hell of it. I got a Chespin back. Ok, sure. Starter for starter, that's fair, I guess. Just checked the Chespin. It has Bulletproof.  Thank you, random Canadian guy! I didn't have one of those yet.  EDIT: And it has 3 maxed IVs: Attack, Sp. Def, and Speed.  Must be his breeding reject. Well, I'll take it!

Dammit, I really wanted to take on the E4 for the first time with an all weasel-ish team. I have a Mienshao and Floatzel. I also have a Sneasel but I don't have the item to evolve it. Oshawott and Cyndaquil aren't available. Furret is garbage. This really eats into my options.
