but tbh more people are going to be prepared to face a SS team with excadrill and plus if it ends up like you cant have drizzle/swift swim on same team and they do it for SS/SR then GG

what do you mean u cant have drizzle and swift swim on the same team lol?

it's banned

this i thought you went on smogon?

didnt really check out smogon for 5th gen yet, its so slow too since black n white came out, pain in the ass to navigate it lol

ill check it out once i start assembling a team, for now i dont really care about 5th gen competitive play, didnt really check anything about it on smogon


but makes sense that drizzle/swift swim is banned, lots more pokemon with swift swim than sand rush


but still, prolly wont be banned in official nintendo tourney nor on the internet via black n white and the new pokemon game that will come out for the wii


/e: also i doubt sand rush/sandstream will be banned since excadrill and tyranitar and both very good pokes, and banning a combination of both would be exagerated

or maybe they'll just ban sand rush completly, leaving excadrill with sand strenght or w/e its called =o

so if you dont care for it atm why are you commenting on it?

didnt say i didnt care about 5th gen competitive, just didnt check smogon about that for the moment, i can still use common sense and not rely entirely on a website for competitive play (which most of the ppl playing the metagame do) and i can comment on w/e i want?

/e: also, i prolly wont play the metagame for a while since making a team takes quite a while and i dont really have that much time to play pokemanz, and i dont really like the look of this metagame either, 4th gen was better imo (from i can see)

i might just play on pokemon lab or w/e its called for the moment

i dont get what you mean checking smogon there arnt any poke spreads for gen 5 like there wer for gen 4

well u asked me if i checked smogon cuz u said drizzle/swift swim was banned, no i didnt see that

also i said i dont really care, not that i dont care, i just dont care for the moment, but still have some interest in it


and i dont see what ur point is, pointing out what im saying, its almost like u didnt want me to talk about the metagame? i dont get it

i just didnt understand why you were saying that excadrill is beast in metagame when you dont play it? and that you dont care

keeping in topic haxorus has such a high attk stat that after a DD or maybe even a scarf it would be a force to be reckoned with

both pokes need setting up and the right enviornment
