I didn't know 'Rapid spin' disables trap moves like 'stealth rock', and spikes.   O_O

Woah! You had a very long Battle their Man!

 

but One thing I don't get is how can Gliscor get poison and its a poison-type to itself or am I missing something here?

[PlasmoidThunder]

Ground/Flying, mang.

[Galvatron]

Ground/Flying, mang.

Oh!.

 

I be getting throw-off what type Gliscor is. =P 

[PlasmoidThunder]

Now you know you can Ice Beam it to death :P

[Galvatron]

Now you know you can Ice Beam it to death :P

Yeah That too. =P

[PlasmoidThunder]

Had a fun battle this morning with Jetgoshi. No entry hazards and Whirlwinds here 

 

8LXG-WWWW-WWW4-PRAC

 

Should've used Ice Fang instead of Curse, but meh.

[Galvatron]

Double Battle Matt again:

 

TG7W-WWWW-WWW4-Q4SR

 

Man! that went down to the wire that time.

 

Its a lucky thing my Sylveon knows 'reflect' other wise I been done for at the last round. That was a good one. I should had let Glaceon used 'Wish' If I know it would have survived that blow.

Thanks for the battle.

[PlasmoidThunder]

You're welcome. As per usual, my awful luck strikes again :P

[Xan]

I really need to get to battling Matt some time. In Singles. 6v6.

With my nonexistent Fossil team.

I got 2 Sylveons but the one I used against you didn't know Reflect. And about Gliscor's type, please don't get confused anymore...

[RicePigeon]

Dunno how I missed this but..

 

 

I didn't know 'Rapid spin' disables trap moves like 'stealth rock', and spikes.   O_O

 

The prevalence of entry hazards is the sole reason why Rapid Spin is even used. Just note that since Rapid Spin is a Normal type move, switching in a Ghost type the turn they use Rapid Spin will prevent them from removing your hazards, which is why I kept switching in Trevenant against that Excadrill. Excadrill, Forretress, Starmie, Donphan, Tentacruel, and, to a lesser extent, (Mega)Blastoise and Hitmontop are all excellent users of Rapid Spin.

 

Of course Rapid Spin faces fierce competition from Defog this gen now that Defog removes entry hazards from both sides of the field instead of just those set up on your opponent's side and works even if they switch in their ghost type. The only downside to Defog is that its affected by Taunt, unlike Rapid Spin.

[Egnaro]

Yeah without rice and his nerdy paragraphs I would have not known about that either tbh

[PlasmoidThunder]

I knew :}

[Egnaro]

I'm sure you did nerd :P

[PlasmoidThunder]

It actually says it does that in the move description. Game does say basic reading ability required for full enjoyment

The game doesn't mention Misty Terrain cutting the power of Dragon type moves by 50% against grounded opponents, either

[DarkWolf13]

There's a sign on Route 19 by the gate going to that snow town saying that Misty Terrain cuts Dragon attack power in half.

[PlasmoidThunder]

I thought there was, but I couldn't remember, so I didn't say anything :}

The first battle I played in that I'm actually kind of proud of. Not because I won, but because I won against a team with Mega Garchomp on it. Also, I got to show off my Shiny, who didn't do much except finish off a non-shiny version of itself.

[PlasmoidThunder]

Mega Garchomp isn't so great. The Speed loss hurts it, and it'll go down to any powerful special Dragon- or Ice-type move because it won't be holding the Focus Sash.

 

Very powerful though. Will take pretty much any other hit, too.

Still faster than any of my guys, though. Plus, speed isn't everything. This is a huge pet peeve of mine where people seem to think speed is so vital that Attack and Defense might as well be non-existent just as long as the Pokemon attacks first.

Mega Garchomp isnt a sweeper. Mega Garchomp is a powerful mixed wall breaker that tears apart defensive Pokemon such as Gliscor, Skarmory, Hippowdon, and Ferrothorn in order to make way for another teammate to start sweeping without interruption. Its pretty much an upgraded Black Kyurem from last gen with a MUCH better typing.
