203 No. 203
Subject says it all.
Anyways, I think Articuno, if given adequate preparation, is overkill. 2 reasons.
1. Sheer Cold.
2. Mind Reader.
Baton Pass it some speed, give it substitute, and it could in theory destroy teams completely.

But OHKO moves ae usually banned in competition.

Scizor comes to mind for me, and one other that has just slipped my mind.
>> No. 206
I don't think Articuno is all that powerful.
Among other weaknesses, Articuno is X4 Stealth Rock weak.

In this case, Walrein could be considered "overpowered" since it can Lock on and Sheer Cold.


Anyway, my pick goes to Tyranitar who's ability alone puts it's stats on par with ubers.

...That. Damn. Miltank.

that brings back my frustration towards Whitney in GSC.
>> No. 1185
Well with Smogon rules Articuno and Walrein arn't team kilers, One of the clauses is "1HKO Clause" making it illegal to use a 1HKO move in the competative battling by Smogon rules
>> No. 1205
>>207
Why do people always complain about Whitney's Miltank? I've never had trouble with her. She's actually the least memorable Gym Leader for me. I never remembered that she even existed until people all over the place were bitching about her.
>> No. 1219
Articuno is what I used in the old days to wreck people. Sure, bring your Charizard and your Mewtwo. It will totally work this time!
>> No. 1229
>>1219
I also had an Articuno on my team back in Red. Him and Chansey raped everyone.
>> No. 1230
Scizor = Boolet Punch + Technician + Choice Band + STAB + Adamant Nature + 31 Attack IV.

Although, a quick Fire Pokemon (Infernape) can wipe it out.
