Woah I just realised! Espeon is NU... I thought you didn't have ANYTHING other than OU and a few UU, since when did you do NUs? I mean, before this match.

@ACrazyMonk November 6th 2007.

Espeon was BL.

[ACrazyMonk]

@mtgxerxes BL? What changed? I never even understood why it was NU in the first place, same base speed and sp atk as gengar. Yet it is almost never seen, is it cause of the gay way smogon uses tiers? "Oh well I haven't seen a heracross in a while let's make it underused!" O_o Some NUs just don't deserve such low rep.

[mtgxerxes]

@ACrazyMonk It was BL because Zam was OU.

But eventually Smogon apparently changed the way the world spins and everyone follows, and it fell to NU. Hera in UU is a joke. He was once a top-5 most deadly OU threat and its not like he got worse. Perhaps he isn't a top-5 threat any more, but that doesn't mean he suddenly sucks now either.

Tough game. I like the fact that you stayed even though you lost, unlike some people who "d/c" when they're losing -_- But out of curiosity, what's your win/loss record?

[mtgxerxes]

Hate to be a stick in the mud, but W/L means nothing....due to D/Cs, unknown quality of opponents, (back in the day) you could "win/lose" an IV battle and I have a few of those each...

and I played a LOT of noobs in the early days, It's listed as 151-18-2 but thats not accurate of skill level or anything. Prolly only 40-60 of those games were good players in which I would guess 30-50W 12L 2T

[BoxHeadBrothers]

you mean Magic Guard, correct?

lol

The toxic orb on clefable activates facade, and it cant take dammage do to wonder guard.

WTF WHY WOULD YOU FLAIL. Waterfall would have OHKOed you BUMBLING OAF. ugh.

[ACrazyMonk]

@TheKornstalker Yes, I have come to the realization within this 6 month period of the topic that is somehow still on. O_o

[TheKornstalker]

@ACrazyMonk what changed is that smogon tiers started to become bull shit. just look at the fifth gen teirs and ull understand

[Ruv4Rice]

lol tortuga is the name of the new turtle pokemon...

[TheWhiteknight10]

do you want to battle sometime if so whats your friend code mine is 1592 1308 0586

[ACrazyMonk]

@mtgxerxes Nope, I agree, I usually just do NU but I have battled a ton of OUers and in E-lo's live feed last night I was talking to frosty and Kwandao, they said they rarely see hera anymore so that is why it was dropped. I use only Kantos cause old skool but if I used a diff region I would go hera to effing pwn everyone. Straight up own. I wonder if cress goes UU then it will someday be pushed NU since hera in UU is a HUGE threat to cress, Megahorn is just super good even with Cress's defense.
