Pokemon Showdown!

[Waddle Bro]

lol
I have become famous on Showdown!

[BlackDragonSlayer]

Rofl so I battled someone using the same strategy Waddle Bro uses with Riolu: Copycat + Roar with hazards. When I countered it he ragequit lolz

People who rely too much on one strategy often have that happen...

That's why I have two backup Pokemon (Gallade and Gengar) and an extra pass Pokemon (Venomoth).
Here's how my strategy should go, if all goes well (> means next move):
Smeargle: Spore > Ingrain > Swords Dance > Baton Pass
Gorebyss: Shell Smash > Baton Pass
Dragonite: Dragon Dance > Whatever else I need

If it doesn't go too well:
Smearle: Spore > Ingrain > Swords Dance > Baton Pass
Venomoth: Quiver Dance > Baton Pass
Gorebyss: Shell Smash > Substitute > Baton Pass
Dragonite: Dragon Dance > Whatever else until it faints.
(repeats, except with Gorebyss before Venomoth, the final link)
(after all the pass Pokemon faint)
Gorebyss: Smell Smash > Baton Pass
Gengar: Toxic > Combination of Shadow Ball or Focus Blast
Gallade: Swords Dance > Drain Punch > Close Combat > Drain Punch

Baton Pass teams aren't too hard to counter.

Baton Pass teams aren't too hard to counter.

That's why I have Venomoth, just in case Smeargle gets poisoned (how can a water-type logically learn Toxix!?).
But, yeah, without Ingrain (or if the opponent switches after you use Spore), it's a lot easier to be thrown entirely off course; if the strategy works completely, though, it's a powerhouse.

Venomoth isn't hard to counter either.

[Nebbles]

Venomoth can be a little fragile in some cases, so when I use it on my bug team, I gotta make sure it can be switched in safely enough for me execute Quiver Dance and totally sweep.

[BlackDragonSlayer]

Venomoth isn't hard to counter either.

That's why it's part of a pass team. If the opponent keeps Politoed out, it can't do much (unless it has Perish Song; but it may have Ice Beam or a water-type move instead), and since Venomoth has higher Sp. Atk, especially after Quiver Dance (if you're able to do it), you may be able to use Hidden Power or even a move like Bug Buzz (if your Venomoth has those moves).
If they switch out to a type resistant to Bug, then Tinten Lens has a chance to take effect (again, plus Quiver Dance).

Essentially, it depends on the circumstance as well. Such as, in some cases, it may be better to send out Gorebyss before Venomoth.

[Nebbles]

Yeah, that's what I do with my Venomoth pretty much...

also, people not saying gg is a little rude. Like geez even when I lose I say it...

[BlackDragonSlayer]

The only reason I don't say it is because my computer decides against it (e.g. it takes about a few minutes to click the chat and type it in, and by that time the opponent has already left).

[Shadoninja]

Pokemon etiquette and sportmanship seems rare these days.

[Roz~]

Yeah, I always say gg, but people never do it
Oh and some people really freak out over the kick button. Once I was in a match, I reckon it was my first UU match ever, and the guy hadn't picked a move for like 4-5 minutes, so I clicked on that button because... yeah I'd like to play. And then he started yelling at me because he was knew to this blablablah Dude you've been thinking for like 4 minutes, even if you're new to UU/Pokémon in general you should kinda know what to do at this point.

O_`

Definition of an eye twitch: I fought a team with lots of potential-ubers, and won before the battle even really started. Nooooooo...

[FSM-Reapr]

I'm sorry if I'm rude, but I won't say gg unless it really was a good game and my opponent was good. I don't say gg if I beat someone like 4-0, sorry.

[Waddle Bro]

lol I owned an angry kid who had a 1700 ranking and he called me stupid for calling him a noob

Oh and btw, my point count reset because I had to change my name; I won 691 points in just two matches!!! XD

[Jub3r7]

Oh and some people really freak out over the kick button.

Every time I do pokemon showdown, it randomly makes me press it a lot even when I'm not trying to? D:
I have to apologize to let the other person know I'm not trying to constantly kick them.
