Remember that period where all the Serebii POTWs had some part specifically bashing Delphox?

>>27957148
What?

>>27956824
I think Farfetchd and spinda are funny on smogon under r/s/eis funny for one of them

Delphox is funny under serebii especially under any gen 6 mon of the week
Just find in page under delphox

Here's the one on Delphox specifically
It seems Joe is disappointed in how weak it is

>>27956824

Smogon tries their best to see if every pokemon has some form of viability. But some pokemon are just so shit that they have zero redeeming factors. Spinda is unviable in any setting, even with Contrary Superpower

But seriously, what the fuck was with Gen 2 and Gen 3 and the sheer amount of shitmons?

>>27957306
The meta was a lot different back then
At least most gen 3 pokemon got a boost or a better ability
My favorite gen, gen 2, is still suffering with mediocre stats
I mean hell, the gen 2 starters didn't even get megas

I remember this! He lost his job when he scammed some kid for his event legends on gamefaqs and got called out on it. He then went super nuts and said he fucked animals and eats babies and shit. Serebii came into the thread and basically said "WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING" and the guy was still acting crazy.
Joe stopped all communication with him.

Well that makes the whole ground vs flying redundant right?

>Surf

Do the people in Serebii forums have any idea what they're talking about?

>>27957449
I used to lurk gamefaqs back when this happened. The weekly phoxfag butthurt threads were entertaining to say the least.

>>27960052
I dont play doubles, but wouldn't surf be useful there?

>>27960133
Yeah, but it also hits any adjacent ally pokemon unless they have telepathy or have water immunity like dry skin.

>>27960154
protect exists
also EQ does the same

>>27960154
Seems like there'd be a lot of ways around that, same as earthquake

>>27957558
>the article

With the nerf of Explosion and Self-Destruct in Gen 5, Magikarp lost out in its main use as a sacrifice to switch in when the opponent goes boom. However, it still hits a respectable 426 with Jolly and Choice Scarf attached, so you might be able to revenge kill a low-health Dragonite or something. Putting Sandstorm up would do exactly the same thing for all the damage you're dishing out, but let's work with what we have here.

Focus Sash is good for making Flail work, especially to lead with. The other items are only mentioned because they are all just about as useful overall.

Feebas does this better.

Other Options

You could maximize HP at the expense of Speed or Attack to turn OHKOs into a 99% chance for OHKOs. You also might as well maximize Special Attack, if only to troll people rating your team. Alternatively, you could just evolve it into Gyarados. Or use any of the vast number of Water-types available. Seriously, there's like a hundred of them and you picked this one?

Checks and Counters

Stop using an Old Rod

>This is your standard Choice sweeper. With Bug Bite, Kakuna is not walled by the likes of Steelix and Steel-type Arceus. As a matter of fact, Bug Bite's addition lowers max HP / max Def Steelix from a 94HKO to a 36HKO. Max HP Steel-type Arceus is now a 25 HKO, while min HP/Def Psychic Arceus is a 22HKO.
Holy shit I'm dying.

>>27960303
Island is objectively the most powerful card in MTG, anon. :^)

MIGHTY METANG

Also, look up Druddigon on the damage calc.

We never did get gems in gen6, did we? I miss them

>>27960509
They even got nerfed down from 50% to 30% boosted power. Why would they need a nerfing in the first place, they're single use and Knock Off is popular in this meta.

Really unprofessional

>>27960238

It's the same exact thing as Minimize though and that move is banned

>>27957369
twin terrors, not twin towers, you retard

>>27960162
EQ's damage isn't halved even if the damage is split. Surf gets weaker.

>>27962198
Lowering the opponent's accuracy is not the same as raising your evasion. You can also use Minimize multiple times.
