There's really only a couple more shows I'm going to try that I haven't seen the first episode for yet, so I'll go ahead and chime in (I'm going in order of the chart, btw): Hunter x Hunter: Figured I'd give this a shot despite never having watched the first run. I actually had the second...

The problem was less the dialogue and more the often bad pacing, the loss of the first-person narration (Shirou without first-person narration doesn't work very well), the tacked-on and largely pointless spoilers from the UBW/HF routes, and the generally worse presentation. If your criteria of a...

When I first heard about it, I was originally looking forward to Fate/Zero more than any other anime for the fall. If the anime is like the book, it'll be like watching the world's prettiest train wreck - so much death and destruction, so much sadness, but you just can't look away. I think it...

I believe that PkMARIO was merely pointing out that Breloom does fine in the DW tier even though Gliscor is a counter there, too. It is a somewhat flawed argument (since Technician Bullet Seed is far more threatening against Gliscor than Seed Bomb), but it is still worth remembering that the...

Not all that well, to be honest. Trying to take out Gliscor with a Physical attack (especially a non-Banded/Orbed one) is an exercise in futility, even with Breloom's massive Attack and Facade's Power. The biggest problem with running it in my opinion is that it leaves you completely unable to...

55% * 5/3 = 91.667% if my math is right (not guaranteed given how awake I am at the moment).

You won't have much trouble going through the game, but honestly you'd probably have an easier time if you just stuck to Emboar, Stoutland, Simipour, and Scrafty and left the other two slots empty/HM slaves. Eelektross, Reuniclus, and Cofagrigus are all more hassle than they are worth by a huge...

Arceus supposedly learns Role Play via HG/SS move tutor. Does it actually do anything when he uses it, though? All other moves that try to remove Multitype fail, but it seems weird if they gave him a move that did nothing (though to be fair, they did give him Trick which was useless in Gen IV).

Do you mind testing it on a mono-typed Pokemon as well? I'd like to update the Bulbapedia page and it would help to know if it works or if it fails like Soak.

Bumping my answer. To elaborate, Rock Slide is probably the best choice for a coverage move when you are already running Earthquake and Surf. Drain Punch is too redundant coverage-wise with Earthquake, and he doesn't get a lot of choices. If you are using a Swift Swim version, though, Rain...

Ho-Oh has some pretty crazy SpD, but I assume you aren't too interested in Ubers. Looking at a list of Fire types, the only ones that really jump out at me for being fairly capable Special Walls are Volcarona, Rotom-H, and possibly Calm Mind Ninetales. Zen Mode Darmanitan would be good if it...

Oops, I was looking at Samurott's page when I saw that. It does learn Shadow Claw, though, which hits Psychics almost as well (which is the main thing that make Bug attacks worthwhile). Lucky Egg is completely unnecessary unless your party size is too large. Switching your items around every...

Honestly, they're pretty similar. Which one you call better largely depends on how much you value Speed and the 22-35 level range (where Simipour is indisputably better unless you want to give it your Eviolite). Keep in mind that while getting Panpour means you took the worst starter, picking...

Because I was curious, I did some checking, and the following Trainers use Sawk and/or Throh pre-Elite 4: Big Stadium Linebacker Bob (Both Lv. 40) Route 10 Black Belt Corey (Sawk Lv. 40) Twist Mountain Battle Girl Sharon (Throh Lv. 36) Black Belt Teppei (Sawk Lv. 36) Wellspring Cave Black...

Actually, Starmie is fairly common on Sun teams as a Rapid Spinner with good Special Attack, Speed, and Natural Cure. It just runs a Psychic STAB instead of a Water one. I've used it and it actually holds its own pretty well. Just don't expect to take out any opposing Heatran with it.
