[21:31] * uxsee thinks [21:31] <@iss> sash is good [21:31] <@blarajan> two) what two attacking moves? eq / rock slide or eq / sucker punch? [21:31] <@blarajan> three) is memento the right idea? [21:31] <@iss> eq sucker punch [21:32] yes [21:32] <@iss> memento is definitely the best choice [21:32] SR / Memento / EQ / Sucker Punch [21:32] imo [21:32] * iss is now known as iss|afk [21:32] <@iss|afk> i agree with ebeast [21:32] agreed [21:32] <@blarajan> we do have to consider [21:32] <@blarajan> and this is important [21:32] <@blarajan> by doing so, and by the addition of scraggy possibly [21:32] <@blarajan> we will be aggravating an almost impossible to contain murkrow weakness [21:32] okay [21:32] <@blarajan> offense has a ton of problems with krow [21:32] <@blarajan> especially life orb krow [21:32] then no scraggy [21:32] <@iss|afk> that's fine [21:32] <@blarajan> since it's insanely hard to switch in [21:32] maybe a tirtouga would work? [21:33] thats what i was thinking [21:33] <@iss|afk> hp grass [21:33] <@blarajan> hp grass isn't too common [21:33] <@blarajan> but even still [21:33] <@blarajan> easier to work around [21:33] how much would it take with Light Screen [21:33] <@blarajan> especially if sturdy is still there [21:33] <@blarajan> which is possible [21:33] <@blarajan> with natu [21:33] or dwebble over champion diglett D: [21:34] hmm [21:35] starmie/diglett/natu/murk counter/____/_____ [21:35] <@iss|afk> murkrow has no counters [21:35] <@iss|afk> only checks [21:36] ok [21:36] 4got [21:36] <@blarajan> lol [21:36] <@iss|afk> seriously mixkrow can 2hko everything [21:36] <@blarajan> why sucker punch as opposed to rock slide? [21:36] <@iss|afk> if you predict right [21:36] <@blarajan> the one thing i want is to prevent krow from getting a sub on us [21:36] <@blarajan> cause that's devastating [21:36] <@blarajan> and we can just memento misdreavus [21:36] <@blarajan> and set something up on it [21:37] http://memegenerator.net/instance/26166804 [21:37] :D [21:38] btw missy has levitate [21:38] * macle (macle@If.youll.be.my.Louisiana.Ill.be.your.Missis sippi) has joined #littlecup [21:38] * Cerberus sets mode: +ao macle macle [21:38] so how does that work [21:38] <@blarajan> hm? [21:38] <@blarajan> what do you mean? [21:39] arena trp doesnt workwith levitate [21:39] <@blarajan> ya missy doesn't get trapped [21:39] wait what [21:39] confused [21:39] 18:36 blarajan and we can just memento misdreavus [21:40] <@blarajan> i mean [21:40] <@blarajan> i don't think sucker punch is too important right now [21:40] <@blarajan> since instead of trying to play games with missy if it's in [21:40] memento into missy? [21:40] <@blarajan> we can just memento and set something up [21:40] oh okay [21:40] <@blarajan> is what i'm thinking [21:41] moving on, what next [21:41] <@blarajan> nah i mean that's an important decision too [21:41] <@blarajan> see since offense is so initiative based [21:41] <@blarajan> especially in lc since the tier is so bulky [21:41] <@blarajan> we really need to think these things through [21:41] well hmm [21:41] <@blarajan> what move do we want in particular? what threats would we rather respond to in a specific way? [21:41] missy has "counters" correct [21:42] sorry, someone was insistant on a match, what i miss? [21:42] <@blarajan> um yeah the most common missy right now is just a bulky one with sball hp fight wow and psplit [21:42] <@blarajan> some are scarf [21:42] <@blarajan> some nplot [21:42] <@blarajan> but you can handle each one [21:42] <@blarajan> fairly easily [21:42] okay then rock slide [21:42] <@blarajan> we were debating what exactly to do with diglett, viamage? [21:42] <@blarajan> is anyone else here following the team building? [21:42] then use memento best setup support i know [21:43] *setup sweeper support [21:44] <@blarajan> yeah [21:44] ok so what setuppers [21:44] <@blarajan> i'm thinking rock slide personally but this is why we're all building it [21:45] well other then missy, bronzor and krow what else would it hit with that? [21:45] larvesta? [21:45] <@blarajan> i mean yeah [21:45] <@blarajan> the only reason i'm suggesting rock slide [21:45] <@blarajan> is so krow never can sub on us [21:45] <@blarajan> that's actually a really big problem [21:45] <@blarajan> since you know [21:45] <@blarajan> krow is fucking terror for offense [21:46] well ofc [21:46] hmm, makes sense might as well be diglett i guess [21:46] thats why ppl use it [21:46] <@blarajan> i'm going to tentatively put rock slide now [21:46] <@blarajan> is that okay? [21:46] yes~ [21:46] so moving my vote to blara's rockslide [21:46] <@blarajan> is anyone else participating?

[22:35] votl switch :P [22:35] <@blarajan> when we have diglett? [22:35] <@blarajan> to fuck its shit up? [22:35] we play carefully with Diglett and take it down [22:35] <@blarajan> or does it predict diglett [22:35] <@blarajan> and completely fuck itself [22:35] we let it die and then send in diglett [22:35] <@blarajan> against everything open? [22:35] <@blarajan> answer: it's screwed [22:35] <@blarajan> it can handle something [22:35] then we shread through things :D [22:35] <@blarajan> but then diglett fucks its shit up [22:35] <@blarajan> it can get one kill at most [22:35] <@blarajan> and generally zero [22:35] <@blarajan> since the chinchou user would be more scared by the thought of getting trapped by diglet [22:35] <@blarajan> t [22:35] memento~ [22:35] <@blarajan> and losing its main check [22:35] <@blarajan> to four of our mons [22:35] <@blarajan> than to play risky [22:36] <@blarajan> i think this is fantastic right now [22:36] <@blarajan> since we put so much pressure on chinchou and lileep [22:36] <@blarajan> that we break through really easily [22:36] <@blarajan> also [22:36] <@blarajan> do i go for 19 hp on mantyke? [22:36] starmie/natu/tirtoga/diglett/missy/mantyke [22:36] explain [22:36] for sr? [22:37] 19 HP means it's only taking 1 HP damage from LO [22:37] oh okay [22:37] as apposed to 2 [22:37] <@blarajan> 10% of 20 is 2 [22:37] <@blarajan> 10% of 19 is 1.9 [22:37] <@blarajan> which rounds down to 1 [22:37] wow lol [22:37] <@blarajan> mantyke originally gets 21 hp [22:37] <@blarajan> 0 ivs puts it at 19 [22:37] <@blarajan> is that worth it? [22:37] with screens i think so [22:37] <@blarajan> me too [22:37] yes and it also allows it to wsitch it into sr 4 times [22:37] wait no [22:37] lo [22:38] nvm [22:38] it does both [22:38] <@blarajan> http://pastebin.com/SwSCrP7P [22:38] <@blarajan> is the team in its current interation [22:38] <@blarajan> keep in mind mantyke has 2 hp ivs [22:39] <@blarajan> everything else is standard
