Let's have a Pokemon Stadium thread, because /vp/ is a whiny bitch.
>inb4 i used rental pokemon only

[Anonymous No.849265]

CPU is a cheating bastard thread? Sure.

[Anonymous No.849270]

>>849261

I only have 2. Was it better to use prevolutions with powerful attacks or evolutions with weaker attacks for rentals?

[Anonymous No.849280]

>>849265
The bullshit I've seen the CPU pull in this game is nothing short of spectacular.
Low-accuracy moves hitting (me)/missing (the CPU) several times in succession, high accuracy moves missing repeatedly, 100% accuracy moves missing an unbuffed target, Pokemon taking significantly less damage than they should from high-power STAB/SE attacks, confusion lasting for 5 turns every time without fail (but only 2 when the CPU is affected), etc.

Like, God damn. There's playing hard and then there's blatant cheating.

Nah. It's easily taken care of by anything with decent defense, or a any fighting type worth it's salt. Now a Curselax on the other hand...

[Anonymous No.849387]

>>849280

100% accuracy moves are actually 99.7% chance of hitting. Aka 1/256.

Stadium 1 and 2 both cheat a shit ton with instant kill attacks, confusion always working, paraysis, and stuff that shouldnt kill you does.

On the flip side you try and do these things to them it doesn't work.

I just got done beating Pokemon Stadium 1 R2 cup and mewtwo 100%. Onto Stadium 2 now. Right now I am just stat training a nice mew I got. The DVs I got on it are pretty good except defense:

10HP
9attack
2 DEF
15 Speed
12 Special

Speed was my concern for stadium 2 since I am going to sword dance stuff.

[Anonymous No.849453]

>>849387
My best pokemon is Tauros: 15 HP, 15 attack, 15 defense, 13 speed, and 15 special. I maxed out stat exp by giving him stat drugs then soloing the elite four about 20 times. I caught him with the mew glitch; after fighting the first training and facing a ditto to set the appropriate special stat, I saved right before the place where the original trainer was. I would take a step up, catch the tauros, and reset until I found one with great stats.

Tauros is much more suited for RBY link battles than stadium, though.

I have never seen butt hurt of that standard before.

But I did learn that Butterfree is my fucking homeboy.

[Anonymous No.849793]

Butterfree is one piece of shit Pokemon though. That 4x Rock weakness is crippling especially with his sad stats.

[Anonymous No.849809]

>>849793
I never normally use him at all but figured I'd try with Pokemon I wouldn't normally pick for myself. Fortunately for me my friend didn't have any rock moves on him at all.

My wife has recently decided to replay Pokemon yellow so I'm probably gonna get rid of it for when she's ready.

Then it's a good thing there's only one or two rock moves in the game.

Dude, just about every team is packing Rock moves. Plus those paper-thin defenses mean you don't even have to use STAB moves to waste Butterfree.

It's super effective!

"Butterfree absolutely despises any kind of Sleep Talker, as they can absorb the status effects, especially sleep, that Butterfree spreads around. RestTalk Altaria, Spiritomb, and Rotom are all particularly annoying for Butterfree to face because they can either set up in her face or, in Rotom's case, KO Butterfree with a STAB Discharge or Thunderbolt. Pokemon who can set up Substitute before Butterfree can do anything are also irritating for Butterfree to face, though they must be wary of Stun Spore on the switch-in. Rotom and Mismagius are great examples of this, as they're bulky enough to take Butterfree's weak STAB moves and set up on her.

As a lead, Butterfree fears Electrode. Electrode will always outspeed Butterfree and stop her from putting it to sleep with Taunt. From there, Electrode can set up Rain Dance without much fear of any of Butterfree's weak attacks. Leads with Lum Berry are also irksome, as the Lum Berry will remove the sleep instantly while the opposing Pokemon sets up on or KOes you. Lead Swellow is another lead who Butterfree fails against. With Protect, he can stop any attempts by Butterfree to paralyze or sleep him, then become immune to her status attacks via his Toxic or Flame Orb. After this, Swellow can simply KO Butterfree.

If you lack a Sleep Talker, sending a bulky Pokemon who can survive being asleep for a couple of turns will do just fine. Milotic, Registeel, Chansey, and Altaria are great choices for this. In the case of the last two, they can remove the sleep upon switching out with their handy Natural Cure ability, so they won't have to stay asleep for long. For Milotic and Registeel, they are easily bulky enough to sleep for a couple of turns and still take a few hits safely. Toxic Orb Clefable is also a good counter to Butterfree, as she becomes immune to Butterfree's status after Toxic Orb activates and can easily shrug off her weak attacks."

[Anonymous No.849949]

The skinny on Butterfree:

"Butterfree, at a glance, is a terrible Pokemon. Horrible typing, bad stats overall, a shallow movepool, and a 4x Stealth Rock weakness undermine much of her remaining positive qualities. However, Butterfree does have one thing going for her: a 97.5% accurate Sleep Powder! Compoundeyes remedies Sleep Powder's otherwise problematic accuracy, which plagues other sleep-inducing leads such as Scarf Venusaur and Jumpluff. Having access to a 97.5% accurate Stun Spore is also pretty good, and with U-turn to scout for switch-ins, Butterfree starts to seem like a decent option. In the end, while these things certainly don't make up for Butterfree's large number of shortcomings, they at least help her to stand out as an interesting alternative status spreader."

I've been trying to beat Little Cup r2 in PS2 with rentals (can't breed any pokémon, used my old red version to win in Poké cup and Prime Cup) for months now. I've made it to the final, but once there I just get destroyed in 3 turns.

"Persian's usage in the UU environment is greatly suppressed by the existence of Ambipom, who outclasses Persian in almost every respect. Really, Persian's only advantages are his slightly higher (though admittedly still awful) Special Attack, and access to Hypnosis and Switcheroo. Even if you take Ambipom out of the picture, Persian's stats are still rather lacking, and despite his stellar Technician ability, he has only modest attacking power. Still, with his high Speed stat, Persian can make an excellent scout in his own right, and coupled with his access to Nasty Plot, he can be a fine special sweeper as well. All in all, Persian's rather underrated, and though he is overshadowed by Ambipom, he is a very legitimate threat."
