Pokemon Showdown Replays Dump

Dark Koopa

A selfish topic where I post replays of me being a competitive dork.

If you make this a general Pokemon Showdown topic, then I think you've got something going on. There's not really a reason to restrict it to only replays, though I can understand why we need a separate Pokemon topic and PS topic.

EDIT: Proof that Game Freak doesn't know what the hell they're doing with Status moves. Today's evidence: Yawn.

I think only like 3 people here play PS, but I don't see why not. Nothing wrong with talking about PS here either if you'd like.

I didn't actually see anything wrong with Yawn in the replay, outside of it being generally annoying like any other sleep move.

Sometimes you feel bad for the opponent.

The fact that you can spam Yawn like six hundred times in a row without any repercussions?

I'm definitely not good at pokemon but this poor person demonstrates why you always need an answer to Mega Sableye (put it on fast, it gets real bad).

Dark Koopa

It's been a while.

Edit: I'm not too familiar with OU but to my knowledge Mega Sableeye is generally used as a wall, taking advantage of Magic Bounce to deny the opponent any hazards. The strategy you used worked for you though, so can't hate that.

Literally just had this battle after putting this team together and Porygon-Z put in all the work lol

Dark Koopa

That guy's own hail screwed him on several occasions. Aurora Veil is such a boring playstyle anyway.

TheAmazingMoist

That is exactly what I thought. If you have something powerful enough like, say, a boosted Porygon-Z or Clawitzer, you can just punch through the Veil anyways. Seems frustrating if you don't have a Stallbreaker or Wallbreaker though.
