Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Requesting a new metagame; nerfmons. Upon switch-in the Pokemon's highest 3 stats get halved. So taking Charizard as an example his Special Attack, Special Defense and Speed get halved whereas his HP, Attack and Defense are unchanged.
Can I register for a new OM. Basically you can only use moves that Pokemon (or its pre-evolutions) learns by Level-Up. No TMs, Move Tutors or Egg moves.
I'd like to register a new OM. All type based weaknesses/resistances are reversed (immunities become x4 weaknesses). Effectiveness from abilities (like Thick Fat and Levitate) are unchanged. This results in a MASSIVE reversal of power with Ice going from pure offensive to pure defensive and tanks like Steel becoming frail.
I checked for interest on Showdown (as %Full Metal Dragon) and people are excited to try this.
I'd like to post an other metagame that I came up with, called "Perseverance" or "6 Pokemon, 1 Life". Please read the conversation that I started with you for more information.
Hey Arcticblast, we have each other for round one of the doubles tourney, I am GMT -5 (I believe Pennsylvania is -4) so this shouldn't be to hard. Let me know when you can do this.
Arcticblast, you haven't touched Doubles Manaphy for 2 weeks now - are you working on this? I know from OU C&C that you have a history of taking extraordinary amount of time in writing analyses. I'd like to upload Manaphy in 2 weeks. Can you finish this on time?
Hello Arcticblast, I'm a Monotype Player who shares your concerns with the current state of the Monotype Thread. I agree it needs better management; and would be more than honored to nominate one of the Leaders of the Monotype Channel as the Thread manager. I hope you can see into the improvement of our Thread, because the MonoTier is not only a popular, but great Tier. Thx for ur time :)
Hitmonchan is the fastest close to relevant Sub-Puncher you're going to get. He's 6 speed faster than Breloom, but the big deal there is that Hitmonchan gets Ice Punch. Also, you have special defense that Conkeldur lacks. But wore thin with the constant changes to the Chan set that lowered his HP at the cost of bulk.
Not gonna lie, after I found a niche for him, being Hitmonchan contributes.
