:3I don't feel so bad for being a Star Wars nerd, because you lot are talking stats for ****ing pokemon.

And it's just because he's cute.
I sure have fought EV'd ones, I got on the competitive tournys. Typhlosion is in the NU rank because of his all around mediocre stats, and even though Feraligatr has 4 stat points less it's still a tier above in UU. This is all besides the fact as you never see a Typhlosion with Thunder Punch in competitive anyway, because it plays off the weaker Attack as opposed to the Special Attack that Overheat would use. If you for some reason raised your Typhlosion up as a physical sweeper then you'd have to be lucky to kill Feraligatr with one unboosted attack, and then the Torrent kicks in and you get whomped with a 400% water damage attack (Base 100+ STAB 50+ Torrent 50x Supereffective 2).
Edit: Didn't see this one.
You're right, the STAB doesn't make it more powerful than a supereffective, and in the PVE game it's good to have a wide range of elements. I was assuming when the original comment said a Typhlosion against a Feraligatr that it was in a competitive setting with optimized sets.
If I was willing to risk a ban, I would post some pics that would definitely ruin pikachu's cuteness for you. :CHappy:
Actually their tier it depends where you look, I've seen several places put Typhlosion and Feraligatr in Borderline.
And his stats aren't mediocre, they are decent for a speed special. I've seen Typhlosions wreck hacked Pokemon. Like completely hacked pokemon, ones that would never pass a legal checker. And the pokemon where water pokemon.
We can put this to the test when we get our teams up.
And what were the rules your tournies played with?
I didn't know this site had so many pokemans nerds.
I outgrew Pokemon when Yu-Gi-Oh! became popular. Even though the last Pokemon game I got was Pokemon Sapphire, it was still after my time. How older people can still play these games bewilders me. Nothing against you Pokefans, but if you lived here, you would be looked down upon dramatically if you played these games while in high school or college.
Gonna make sure not to open any PMs from Viggy for a while... :P
His stats are mediocre for the competitive play, not really sure how you're arguing. If he beat a hacked Pokemon then that's more the flaw of the player.
Species, Item, the Status Clauses, and no Ubers if I remember. I didn't pick Feraligatr, so it'd take a while for me to raise, not to mention breed one.
Whatever you say, but I don't believe it for one second, especially if you're using a Fire attack.
Do the math.
I did. It came out to 100-200 damage for your Overheat, and 311 minimum health for a Feraligatr. To assume they wont EV into Health isn't good practice, as that's one of Feraligatr's strengths, but I still did it for you anyway.
I was just trying to drop the subject since you obviously won't budge.
Give it a ****ing rest, the both of you. This is ridiculous.

Yet you continued earlier. You are only finding it ridiculous because I actually know what I am talking about.I know it is.
And he told you he was trying to end this ridiculous e-peen contest, and you continued arguing.Yet you continued earlier. You are only finding it ridiculous because I actually know what I am talking about.

Stop it, both of you.
