On the note of safety. When have flu shots ever been a real problem (1976 was hugely overblown since we aren't even sure if the vaccination caused any of the deaths, and subsequent evidence shows that to be unlikely) ? The seasonl flu vaccine that has been used for years and the swine flu...

Your descriptions for the individual Pokemon are very lacking and a team has 6 members. PM me with improved descriptions and 6 team members and I'll unlock your thread.

Well, the 80 HP EVs are still mentioned in the paragraph and you are missing 252 of them in the EVs line. I don't understand EVing it to help against Metagross period. Taking the common lead Metagross' 1 - Leftovers Metagross: You can just Sleep Powder it. Yeah, you can miss; but Bullet Punch...

Depends on your concerns. The only real reason to try a psychologist over a psychiatrist is if you are worried about the negative side effects of medication (or no medication exists for your concerns, I suppose). There are some mental disorders, schizophrenia comes to mind, that a psychologist...

Blaze Kick should at least be mentioned in Set Comments; it's still 90% accurate; has a higher base power (10 points); and, at least according to the Smogon dex, has an elevated critical hit rate. There would be some players willing to take the risk so a slash or a set comment mention would...

Please use the Simple Questions / Simple Answers thread stuck at the top of Stark for this kind of thing. We don't need a bunch of threads asking about specific counters or Pokemon, this play will turn into a mess. (PS: Magnezone does seem the best bet from your list you gave).

If both players switch simultaneously, does it count as a switch? I wasn't sure from your definition because in order to be considered a switch an opponent must have a Pokemon on the field and if both opponents are switching, neither one does; or did I interpret that incorrectly? If that's so...

Uh, this thread is really just people posting random sets that sort-of work okay with Heracross. All I've seen that's really in stone is that most people appear to want paralysis support. I get that people think the idea is interesting for a community to create a team, it just seems (rather...

Why would I comment on something I haven't read? For god sake, they believe that economics is untestable. I suppose that is convenient for them since when their theories are proven wrong, they just go "economics is untestable" I can't think of a single Austrian theory that is correct. Anyway...

Firstly, since when are free markets always highly efficient? Don't we have things like asymmetric information dramatically undercutting the efficiencies of the market (and specifically adverse selection effecting the insurance market). Stiglitz's work has brilliant catalogued this concept most...

I'm not going to lock this because I think you are editing in info and I don't want to you to lose that by me locking the thread. However, when you are done re-post it in the HGSS in-game discussion thread, figure out which moves are new, and then someone will put them in the OP of the HGSS...

Firstly, in the hard sciences and the more factually-based social sciences / humanities (economics, linguistics, archaeology etc.) this is rarely a problem. So looking at the less rigorous (in terms of pure facts) academic fields is the only area that matters. I cannot remember the actual study...

I'll remove the broken link since there is no reason to keep it heh. I suppose I don't see anything wrong with having a suggested guide thread. If someone can think of 2-3 ideas just to get the thread started that would be helpful just to give the thread a start (you can just post them here)...

I don't think there is any technical data regarding this specifically. What you could do is look at the total number of native speakers of a language. Locate the geographic regions where that language is predominate as a native language and then look at the list of English-speaking population...

Seems to me it might have been more appropriate for the tournament forum as just a closed sticky for the curious, but ok. Just a warning to people, be very careful with your comments of whether a player is over-rated or under-rated players. That can turn into a flame war quite quickly! I'm not...

A "think tank" or research firm with a political bias can still be used as a valid source, depending on the organization or firm. What political think thanks or "watch dog" groups usually do is perform non-partisan, valid research and then synthesis the findings of those research to come to...

http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59629 PS: When you were just slightly changing it to make it look like a different RMT, you forgot to replace Medicham with Azumarill from your previous RMT both in your copy and pasted "team building" descriptions and in the actual team...

You'd actually want to use Timid to reduce damage if Gliscor became confused. Small, but you never know when it could come in handy! You also repeatedly mention that Gliscor is good for electric attack switch-ins. Possibly a bit of a caution about BoltBeam (or electric + HP Ice whatever) would...

Yes

OK, let's see if we can meet middle ground here. Let's try to make the discussion of what makes certain Pokemon who have excellent stats see relatively limited usage whereas Pokemon with lower rated stats see substantial usage. I can conjure up a bunch of reasons like ability, move pool...
