A Persian, fighting a bug? Is it Caturday?

[The Persian Gato]

Gym Challenge! This will be my first.. assuming nobody else gets on.

FC is a little below


EDIT: Just added my AIM to my profile here.. and I suppose it's to the left of this as well. Easier to talk to me there is possible.

[darkblueant]

Well, I just got on and just checked this, so lets battle right now.

[The Persian Gato]

Alrighty, I'll add your FC now and head on.

EDIT: Don't even own a persian

[The Persian Gato]

Ha-za and GM, I'll be back later to challenge the rest. Also why was your Yamega so slow?

[darkblueant]

Ummmm... I need to see your Gengar. The fact that my Pinsir has 350 attack and couldn't put a dent in him seems fishy, since Gengar's defenses and HP are mediocre. Not to mention a Super effective attack from Wormadam hitting him too.

I mean... I guess it could be plausable, but it seemed much too strong given the fact that his defenses and HP arn't great.

[darkblueant]

Ah well. I don't care that much. I just didn't think it was possible for Gengar to be a brick in addition to a sweeper.

Good game.

[lolzorz]

What did your Pinsir hit the Gengar with? What nature tdoes it have?

[darkblueant]

Rock Slide. It's only 75 or 80 power, but he has over 350 attack.
This also followed a Super Effective Psychic from a guy with about 250 Special attack.
All together I did less than half health.

I don't know what to think about that. It seems absurd, but this guy doesn't seem like a hacker.

[lolzorz]

The Rock SLide one is already quite unbelievable, but the Psychic one cuts it. It's quite impossible for that to happen, unless the Gengar was EV trained in Def and Spdef. But even then, less than half? Impossible.

[darkblueant]

He seems like a nice guy though. I don't think he would hack.

By the way, I'm fairly sure the Gengar was EV trained in speed and Special attack since he outran all my guys and killed them all in one hit (Except Pinsir because he used a not very effective move on him... and that almost killed him anyway).

Maybe it's max stats and he got it in a trade.


I don't want to feel like I'm whining because I lost. I've lost plenty of times. I'm just trying to understand what happened.

[The Persian Gato]

Well I'm far from a hacker, I've cloned several times in the gts though. I have to admit, I laughed at the wormod**n's attack and it seemed odd too so I understand I'll log on wifi now for ya

Edit: On wifi waiting. It's just sitting next to me k.

edit2: sorry bad connection nm were good

[darkblueant]

Everything is legit. I have no idea how my guys did so little damage.

[darkblueant]

Oh yeah, and thanks for humoring me by showing your guy, although stat-wise I still don't understand it.

[The Persian Gato]

Not problem, I would have been 'WTF!!!" too. Even focus blast put a dent in it.

*shrugs* I dunno, but you were right on one thing above. I did get it a trade. It's stats are all good though, so I dunno.

Moves are kinda lacking with stab or super effectiveness, dunno bout wormy though. What's it's spe attack stats?

~Dinner time, be back in a bit

[darkblueant]

Wormadam sucks. He's there as a joke because of how pitiful he is. His only ability is to shake when he's about to get his ass kicked. His Special attack is in the mid 200's though.

What bothers me isn't that the attack from Pinsir didn't kill, it's that it only did about a fourth of the health bar, if even that. He's got over 350 attack and your guy had pretty low defense and HP. I'm not sure how to retool the guy if even something as basic as that was crappy.

This is more a matter of me trying to understand my guy than yours, by the way. I'm still building my team and want it to work.
