Testing out a VGC team when...

A strange gimmick-y strategy.

You've never seen the Specially Defensive Bulk Up set. I've been touting it as a viable set since early Gen VI.

I have literally never heard a peep about that set in all my OU experience, even when I worked up to the 1300s pre Aegislash ban. You really DO learn something new every day. >.>

>Specially Defensive Bulk Up

I've been playing UU recently and been using a really cool Scrafty set from BW that still seems to be effective (against the low ladder anyway, lol). EVs in HP and SpD, with Bulk Up, Rest, Drain Punch, and Knock Off. The kicker is Shed Skin. Sometimes you get a Rest off and wake up right away, it's fantastic. Also good for when an opponent tries to WoW/Toxic you, because you can just keep boosting. My UU team is actually doing pretty well (again, against low ladder but still), and it's with a bunch of my favorites too. I love it. My only complaint is that I had to find a replacement for Porygon2 because of Knock Off prevalence now. You didn't see it nearly as often in Gen 5.

Odds of one in a thousand. (Random Triples Battle, 6 turns)

Spoiler: show
It didn't affect who won the match, but his Rock Slide missing all three of my Pokémon in the same turn is technically something that should only happen one out of a thousand times and doubtless left him feeling even sorer about the defeat than he might have otherwise been.

I went to do VGC 2015 after doing some troping. This resulted. (VCG 2015, 5 turns)

I love this team.

And to give you an idea of just how strong that Focus Punch is:

Basically, the multipliers put a neutrally hitting Focus Punch from this thing doing 2.16x, and so therefore I can essentially hit something that resists for better than neutral. I also Have knock off for Ghosts, and if a ghost comes out after Conkeldurr faints, that's what Ghostbuster is there for.

Fighting-types scoring OHKOs on Ferro? Wow shocker.

I am confused. Why are you talking about neutral vs resist but quoting a calc against something it's SE on? 404, sense not found.

But no seriously, a calc with Ferro is embellishment. It's a Steel type and Conk has a massive Attack stat, of course you got the OHKO. Life Orb Terrakion gets the OHKO and its base attack is 11 less. Overheat Darmanitan gets the OHKO.

Show a calc that actually proves a point about its power. Like say:

Quote:
252+ Atk Black Belt Iron Fist Conkeldurr Focus Punch vs. 252 HP / 212+ Def Rotom-W: 289-342 (95 - 112.5%) -- 68.8% chance to OHKO

This was fought to the bitter end.

I wasn't sure what was going to happen. Then I just couldn't stop laughing.

So basically, unless the opponent can OHKO your Blissey's before they use Final Gambit, you can essentially turn any match into a 1v1?

It's not broken but...that's damn unfair.

But at the same time, you -should- be able to OHKO a Blissey in Balanced Hackmons.

Its in Balanced Hackmons though, and Blissey is slow as shit. It really only works if people try to set up or if Scarf Blissey (of which I only have two now thanks to Ability clause making me put Ring Target Trick on 3) is faster. If a MegaQuaza comes in, Kyubey needs to be out on the field and able to take a hit and the Scrappy Blissey's need to be around for any remaining ghosts. MegaQuaza and Sturdydinja? Kyubey has to take out both or its game over ON THE SPOT. That team is the definition of "really fucking fragile." One thing goes wrong, I've already lost.

Also slipped in a little Morshu humor. Watch the replay again and tell me what the Blissey's names spell.

I'm really enjoying VGC 2015 so far. To be fair, I've mostly played low ladder thus far but it's been fun since people are really in the experimentation phase at the moment.

My VGC 2015 battles would be more fun if I didn't keep insisting on trying to find a way to make Regigigas to work. Like Regi is great but it requires a lot of planning and strategy that I'm not used to
