Uuuum, Herbivore does not restore HP like Water/Volt Absorb does. It gives a +1 attack boost. Other then that I agree with what you said. Herbivore is superior to Reckless in all ways IMO.

Why people still preffer Reckless on this guy? It was confirmed in the research thread, that Herbivore gives immunity to grass type moves. It does not reduce to only damaging ones but the powders and leech seed as well. With that, you have immunity to most common sleep inducing moves AND gain a...

Agree. You could also switch Hypnosis with Psycho Shift if you needed more constant stat inducing move.

I think Noctowl still likes Insomnia better. It's an ok support mon with some unique capabilities for a flying/normal. Sadly that most of the supportive moves he had are the same in Gen V.

I wonder why people go Shell Break on this thing? It's speed is not good at all, and I would rather increase its bulk and attack with Curse. This is the 1st time I am doing a set so bare with me. Iwaparesu @ Leftovers Ability: Shell Armor Adamant Nature EVs: 252Atk/252HP/4Def ~Block ~X-scissor...

Wich was proven to be fake anyway. And I dont agree. Many people before me, have given plenty of good arguments for this change. And I dont think that there will be less viable mons with this, there will be just different ones.

You say that in a way like if the enemy is some kind of an idiot and he cant do the right moves as well. It's not like onnly 1 side of the field is known to you. It's the whole concept of "he knows that I know" that makes this interesting. You CAN think that you are doing the right move but the...

Politoed cant setup his own SR, so it's either faster rain or faster SR on the field, meaning that Shedinja can be a viable counter to most Swift Swim sweepers. Some people here say how rain is broken, but fail to notice that Sandstorm is now the ultimate weather. Sandstorm works good with 3...

Does anyone else think that this guy can be the new "troll" pokemon ingame? Like in the forest areas, you find a nice item in some corner and then you fight this thing :P. I dunno if I'm right or wrong, since I have not checked any walkthrough for BW. Regarding the mon itself, I dont think it's...

Uuuum. Why go Claw Sharpen when IIRC, Nincada evolving at lvl 25, will learn Swords Dance as a Ninjask, thus passing the move onto Shedinja. Wich moves of Shedinja have imperfect accuracy anyway?

This is my favourite gen V pokemon (as seen on my ava :)). I love his typing, love his ability but most of all, I love his desing! <3 Seriously, if Ariados had a lil bit better stats I would use him on all of my teams. This guy will surely be in my team on my 1st playthrough of the game, and I...

Yes! Thanks Lee about the Herbivore info. I also think that it might be a better ability then Reckless, if used right that is. I wonder how the elec zebra could use Herbivore? Lee Edit: I said 'if' Herbivore grants a Grass immunity.

What did you think singles would look like? I mean they knew each other pokemon but the dude still mindgamed the guy into switching the candle ghost into a dark pulse. Still it was kinda fail on the other guys part since he didnt notice that "Zapdos" lost only 12,5% from stealth rock, instead...

I would really like for someone to confirm if Herbivore has the grass type immunity or not? Even though Grass is not that a prominent of an attacking type, an immunity + bonus is never a bad thing, and could prove to be a good ability for the bull and the other ones sharing it. I like this mon...

This. Even if you cant rearange the team from 1 to 6 at the start, you can still change the order DURING a fight, making Zoro even more unpredictable IMO.

Does the species clause now work with those guys? An all Rotom team could be fun and maybe just lil bit viable :P.

I dont get tripple battles yet, but that 6v6 singles was a sexy fight. I like how he used Zoroark, and how he bluffed the Heat Wave from it, Forcing Shanderaa out just for it to get KOed.

I really like the Iron Ball/Lagging Tail trick set. Makes for a potent anti sweep tactic while potentialy giving you a good item or a choice item to trick onto another target. I think Iron Ball is the better one to use from the 2, mostly cause it can screw both walls like Bronzong and Skarmory...

Well the thing is that Shed Shell gives you nothing if there are no Dugtrio, Shanderaa or Gochiruzeru in the other team, while Leftovers or even a Lum Berry are just more usefull to his role. I cant do specific calcs very well, but if Boiling Water fails to 2HKO Shanderaa, (1st hit on switch...

Magnezone cant trap you since Burunkeru is not a steel type. The only mons that can trap him are Dugtrio, Shanderaa and Gochiruzeru. The 1st 2 are weak to his Water stab attacks while Gochiruzeru is weak to his Ghost type stab moves. Unless you are afraid of screwups, you can forgoe Shed Shell...
