You'll laugh hard, but I actually designed most of my weird sets specifically to counter Slowbro. A)Gengar's Counter is just a mean of dealing with rare Tauroses. I actually use it as an anti-Slowbro. I just can't think of anything it can hit with Night Shade or Psychic. Gengar is slow and...

Yep. If your opponent uses Normal or Fighting type move, and your pokemon gets KOed, you can switch Gengar in and use Counter, cos Counter counters the last move of Normal and Fighting types, not necessarilly the last one landed on its user in the same turn. But it only works if you outspeed the...

Let's say I have both Jynx (Lovely Kiss, Counter, Psychic, Blizzard) and Gengar (Hypnosis, Counter, Explosion, Thunderbolt), what would be a preferred lead? This is my Uber team, might not be the most balanced ever, but at least I get some wins with it, and I'm going to modify it slightly for...

Ok, I think I'm convinced. I'll try it. Thanks!

Precisely what I was talking about: I sacrifice my ability to sleep in exchange for their ability to sleep. How is it not a fair trade? Just play without sleep. And if I'm lucky, I KO Gengar first turn, and than I CAN sleep stuff. So I either don't lose anything most of the time, or I play 6v5...

Sleeping/KO-ing a sleeper is best, but just in case they have another one, why don't let them sleep Jynx so that they don't sleep anything else? That would mean we're both out of sleepers - isn't it a fair trade? And if Hypnosis fails first turn, I also leave their Gengar with a large bleeding...

But sleep clause would than prevent me from kissing something more valuable. Why kiss something I have little trouble dealing with?

I only Lovely Kiss lead Starmie or Alakazam. I'm low ladder, here the lead can also be: - Tauros -> Counter; - Exeggutor -> Blizzard, take Sleep Powder; - Gengar -> Psychic, take Hypnosis; - Zapdos is strangely common -> double Blizzard and it's done.

I'm still low ladder, I don't face good players:) Ok, maybe Tauros was a bad example. I usually struggle to deal with Starmie, so I might switch Jynx in to try to Lovely Kiss it and stop that Recover madness. I'm usually short on Electric moves cos that's my second least favorite type, and I use...

Oh, sorry, I forgot Exeggutor exists:) Yes, it's not a niche move on Exeggutor. But I'm still more used to Sleep Powder, Stun Spore, Explosion, Psychic set. Thank you for translation, now I get what they meant. One thing though that is a little surprising to me is that, if not to deal with...

Can you please just translate this to English? "Chansey especially is great at taking status and preventing sleep, DEdg is rarely enough to muscle sleep through Chansey and booming isn't great either (since you trade being able to get sleep off for Chansey, which I'd argue is a bad trade for you...

Now it got less interesting:( I know paralysis saves from sleep and freeze, and helps in stall wars, use it in Ubers. Than what exactly did they mean by "since you trade being able to get sleep off for Chansey"? Can you give some examples of sleepblockers? I might horribly misunderstand the...

So, you mean, if something threatens with sleep, I switch Chansey in, and than switch it against opponent's Chansey cos the biggest damage it can do to me is 100 HP with Seismic Toss, and I can, like, 90% of the time survive all the sleep turns? That's interesting... I used to just put the least...

I know I can't name my Electrode "Regieleki" despite neither 'eleki nor Beat Up being present in Gen 1, but can I hint moves in nicknames? For example, I name my Mew "Bomb Master", my opponent assumes I run SB, SD, BS and Exp, brings in Gengar - only to watch it swallow my boosted Earthquake I...

Just posted my Ubers team for approval, and, reading this, I realise I missed a lot of points you mentioned. I have some sort of a "strategy" in mind - make Mewtwo vs Mewtwo or Mewtwo vs Chansey stall war with something left on my party in case I lose. But I noticed how my playstyle shifted...
