[OOC] W&T: FT RP!

[j8cob]

Another big problem is that if someone suspects your Azu has BD, they might not switch and instead pump residual damage and maybe score the KO before Azu can begin a sweep. Especially if they have a Ferrothorn in the back, because they can defeat Azu through chip damage if they predict a BD.

Best way to pull it off would be sacking a Mon to an opposing Outrage and sending Azumarill in after it. It forces a switch and/or a free turn.

@j8cob

Yeah, but noone really uses Outrage that much anymore.

Thanks Fairy Type. B|

[j8cob]

I use Outrage all the time. Only when the opponent ain't got Fairies alive.

But the point I meant was something that was locked into something ineffective. Like a Choiced Infernape or something that is stuck doing something that can't really hurt Azu.

@j8cob

Ye. That makes more sense.

I've found that Choice Band Azu puts in mad work. My personal favorite to use. So many OHKOs and 2HKOs.

@j8cob

Yeah, I was thinking about that. But....just...ugh. Yeah. I think I'll be doing that. What's odd is that Smogon wants Banded to use Max Attack/Speed, but how does that make sense?

He's soooo slooooow. Why not buff Def/Sp. Def?

[Saltwater Thief]

I prefer my Choice Scarf Flygon, personally. But against an Azumarill that I know is packing a Band (and probably Aqua Jetting), I'd throw my Megagross at it. Tough Claws Bullet Punch? Goodnight sweet prince.

[j8cob]

My spread is max attack and max HP with the last four in defense. The HP bulk lets me get more switches on hazards because it ends up having an odd number on the stat. But that's just my playstyle, where I switch Azu in a lot to scare things and deal mad damage on switch-ins.

@Saltwater Thief

But steel isn't super effective against Azu. ._.

That half-water type.

[j8cob]

Azu can't OHKO a Mega Metagross, but MegaGross can 2HKO it. So it's a good match-up if there's nothing better to stop it.

@j8cob

So other than a tanky grass/poison type. (Venusaur lol) who is good for stopping Azu?

[j8cob]

Banded Talonflame will destroy Azumarill, but that requires a sacrifice to do and the Azu can easily switch to avoid the death. The way I stop Azu is by bringing semi-bulk Pokemon against it. Things that can't get 2HKO'd by Aqua Jet and are faster than Azu. In those situations they either switch or die, and both are good.

[Feisty-Pants]

Yeeep. Azu is stronk.

I hate Talonflame, so much. @.@

@Renny I'd like to wait for the bad guys to make one more move before I have Anna finish traveling, if that's alright.
