Pokemon Showdown!

[Pianist Da Sootopolis]

That's actually the only time I used talonflame. It was an old team and I had a scolipede on there that baton passed speed and attack, so I had to get rid of it (stupid BP clause) and decided to play around with talonflame.

Sometimes something running Destiny Bond is fun for the trolling.

Mega Banette is really fun for that purpose (though not OU).

noct do you even knock off
Stealth Rock + Taunt to block Defog

Or use something bulky enough to tank Flare Blitz and/or Brave Bird.

last I checked knock off was unplayable, had something like 20 base power
my marowak actually 1hko his talonflame, but that's not important.

I think it's time for you to check again, I'm afraid!

Marowak

Well, there's the problem... If you're playing OU, you might want to change out a few of your Pokemon (not sure what team you're using exactly, though).

[mikey]

I used Raikou, Gyarados, Blastoise, Marowak, Umbreon, and Scizor

[BlackDragonSlayer]

Do you have specific details of the sets you use? It should be pretty easy to get from the teambuilder.

I've started playing in Anything Goes because I've been avoiding it for so long, and... it's actually pretty surprising how, when starting with Mega-Rayquaza vs. Klefki, most people go for Swagger first, which, considering I have a Lum Berry on my Rayquaza (helps against Darkrai and generally increases sweeping potential), is a very, very bad idea.

that maatch thoooo
and that horrible team thooooo

[Nitro Indigo]

Is it bad that I sometimes use teams in higher tiers than they're designed for just to see what I can do? Because my UU team containing RU and PU Pokémon can do decently in OU and Ubers if I'm careful.

[Pianist Da Sootopolis]

I sometimes use lower tiered pokemon. Probably just cause my teams suck, but hey.

[Nitro Indigo]
