What happened here?

[ace]

This is the first time ive been here this year, since resuming sapphire, and everything's changed :eek: (duh), where is everything, where is that spinda guy, where is stikachu and is the pokedex finally finished???

What's the new fashion in teams?, has using Lanturn become bad again?


ps is Lanturn or Ludicolo better for my 6th team's water type?

Lanturn can work well as a Parafuser in a Team with the right EVs and the Trainer using it well.

Ludicolo is terribly an OU Pokemon. It's because it's so good in Battle as an Annoyer. Nearly everyone uses a Ludicolo in Online Battling.

Soggy and Stikachu are still around, just not as active in here as they were a while ago. And I think Ludicolo's more fun, but Lanturn works too. A good annoying set for Ludicolo:

Hey ya, Im still here, its just my computer has been down for a bit..

Personally, I like using Lanturn in r/s. Volt Absorb is fun vs newbs, and EQ isnt so common due to traits like "floating" etc.

oh, and strat:
TRIFORCE>fruit force :P

one thing has not changed, still have to be cautious where you get your advice

lanturn is and always has been very good, very 'counterculture' if that makes sence, meh, but never as a parafusioner, it did good in the rs metagame, almost always having toxic, rest, surf, thunderbolt, occasionally some specific purpose type move like ice beam or something, eps in hp, s.a. & s.d., defense if you find it facing phys more then spec and require that aspect out of it, whle most tend to abuse boltbeam resistance and blah blah blah
