I'm around. Battling on PO2 as "SkipTG" if anybody wants a battle.

I'm on the main server.

*side note* Porygon2 forces rage quits! ^_^

*EDIT*

And so does Cinccino.

Rage quits only happen to inexperienced battlers :P

I'm using a weird rain team. Four of the usual rain team members, but also Porygon2 and Cinccino.

I know it's a matter of luck, but have you tried Cinccino w/ Skill Link + King's Rock? That thing rapes stuff that can't beat it's 115 base speed.

I have an experimental set I am running. Steel types MUST be gone completely from the oppossing battlers team for it to work, but if they are, I promise, this rapes people.....

Porygon2 @ Eviolite
Ability: Trace
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252 Def / 252 SpDef / 4 HP
Moveset:
-Conversion
-Recover
-Toxic / Shadow Ball / Signal Beam
-Psychic / Tri-Attack / Signal Beam

With the mechanics of conversion, it promises to change Porygon2's type every time, albeit, it is at random. Thing is, Pory only has one type weakness....Fighting. With it's incredible bulk after Eviolite, you get a tank, and after what an opponent thinks is a relatively free switch in, they get walled, since their fighting type Poke gets absolutely walled since Conversion removes it's Normal typing on it's first usage.

Moveset must include Conversion and Recover. Otherwise, it's all up to the rest of your team's options as to what else to use in moveslots three and four. I believe Toxic and Psychic are the better options, because Psychic can hit those fighting types hard, and whatever resists, and isn't a Steel type (remember, I said Steels need to be gone before this is attempted), can take quite a bit of residual damage from Toxic (except Starmie and Chansey/Blissey, due to their Natural Cure abilities.

Tri-Attack can be a STAB move without Conversion if needed, and also, Signal Beam, and Shadow Ball also allow for type resistance after Conversion, but they seem to be lesser options, due to Signal Beam's low base power, and Shadow Ball's near identical coverage with Psychic.

Ill try this out with a p2 I am using.

looks kind of like a gimic to me... ya this is a way around the fighting types that come to KO you, but what about the rest of the Metagame that the normal P2 set was designed for? No Ice Beam to smack dragon types is never a good thing. Overall you lose A LOT to only gain a little :/

[Judge Dredd]

Happy Halloween everyone ! you guys going out !

Good point, so there is a way around that, as well. It doesn't hit as hard, but HP Ice 70 can remedy this. Conversion won't force the Ice typing on Porygon2 since Hidden Power is still considered a Normal type move, regaurdless of it's damage typing.

Staying in. The kid is having a Halloween party with some of his friends, and me and the g/f are handing out candy to random panhandlers in costumes.

that sounds like a pretty cool cosutme !

[Moe2]

I was just talking to an Admin about Chomp coming down to OU, and he said "PO isn't smogon, so probably never" .... I hate when people bash smogon, they know 100x better than anyone about the current metagame... ANYWAY, arcues use scarf Haxorus in the mean time. I've had a few matches and the weather control granted by Kingdra AND Venasour is pretty sweet.

[Knuckles]

I'll most likely be in too, playing xbox and handing out candy. First Halloween I'll actually be home for since I was 18... Rest of the time I was either in military, or out of town for a gaming tournament

Why are you staying home.

[Joel]

Stuff 'n' things....More stuff 'n' things. Stuff, stuff stuff.
