Yes, NO, it will NOT affect Micro-Upgrades nor their speed-ups.

@RampageRhino: Iron Defense on Scizor? Either way, it's never going to survive a Flamethrower nor any Flare Blitz. . . .. And yeah, Heatran's good. It's either Fire/Ground mix or Drought. Because Heatran absolutely WALLS any kind of Volcarona, and can absolutely decimate it with an Earth Power. It gets destroyed by Ground Types, but it can hold an Air Balloon. And it can have Flash Fire. I don't use it, since I don't like using Legendaries in competitive battles, unless Ubers.

Or record your battles on this. http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/ After a battle, you can choose to record it. Then, just post the link! (edit) Who knows, maybe you can base a team around Delphox and show me how it goes. Lol. Remember to pick the right tier. There are many of them. I usually play OU, and UU. (edit2) http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogondoubles-141095216 A team I made a LONG time ago. It was originally meant to be an OU team, but I tried it out in Doubles accidentally, and it works out GREAT! Even better than OU. A double-weather team. First comes the Sun, then comes the Rain, or vice versa depending on the opposing team. I have more Weather-teams as well, and more successful ones, but this one is my only double-weather one. Weather wars. . Love'm.

@Paulina: Ah, I see. You also consider Pokedex entries, background, symbolism, etc. etc. I'm just plain talking about moves, types, stats, etc. More competitive overall. So I don't mind the Thumbs Down anymore. Haha. At first it was kind of bothering me. :P As for "many pokemon have Shadowsneak." Yes, but which one of them can utilize it well? Obviously a physical attacker would not use Vacuum Wave, it would rather much use Mach Punch, Bullet Punch, etc. Greninja, can use it in a much more different way than other Pokes because first, it is not commonly run, so you can catch your enemy by surprise. Furthermore, lets say your Greninja is still at its regular Dark Typing, and your enemy sends in a Conkeldure, preparing to OHKO you with a Mach Punch. YOU, can use Shadow Sneak, and you would go first because of your HUGE 122 Base speed. You would inflict damage upon the Conkeldure, AND the Mach Punch would have no effect on you if you have the Protean ability since you would change to Ghost Type. You can play WONDERFUL mind games. Same goes for Water Shuriken. If you run +Speed Nature, you can outspeed Bravebird/Talonflame with Galewings and try to Kill it, or at least have a chance at Flinching it if you run a King's Rock set. So far I have never seen anyone run +speed Nature Talonflame, you don't need it, since you already have Gale Wings for Priority and not many Pokes can overwhelm 126 Base speed. And considering Greninja's 95 base Attack, it is quite powerful when you compare it with its base 102 special attack. It's only 7 points apart, and we all know how powerful a common Special Attacker Greninja is. Who knows, you can even run a mixed set, but guess what? Life-Orbed Greninja is also an option. That set is amazing as well. Just be careful taking damage. :P @Rampage: Yes, priority moves are great, aren't they? But then again there is the occasional loophole like Gale Wing- Talonflame. :P @Stinger911: Say hello to Fairy Typing my friend. :) A Playrough from Azumarill? A Dazzling Gleam from Gengar/Alakazam? A Moonblast from Mega Gardevoir or Sylveon? A Draining Kiss from Aromatisse? Klefki? :P I'm not sure if Gastro Acid works on Wonder Guard though. Gastro Acid is a move that nullifies the enemy's ability. Sableye is another Dark/Ghost typing.

Don't buy HP dude. Never Hewlett Packard if you want a computer set for gaming. It overheats quickly, and generally not for gaming in my personal opinion and experience. Haha.

Me, I'm against Queues. Can't find a battle? Just move to another server. Or just wait. But that's just my opinion on things. Eh. But how do you know for sure that it is auto-clicking? I'm just curious. It just may be that the person is faster than you, or lags less.

Used Firebird today, and it got nerfed BAD. The stats didn't help, but what I noticed is that it wasn't the stats that nerfed it significantly. It was the added effects of Isida AND the new and much improved Health Kits. Everyone in battle whom I met used one! Yep. Firebird got nerfed. I assume it shows better results in PRO Battles though, since no Health Kits.

@Paulina: I see you downvoted my post. Haha. Why though? Is there a specific reason? I play OU mostly, and sometimes UU, that's it. Maybe Delphox and Torterra shine in some other tier? :lol: But yeah. Torterra's defense ain't too bad, but nonetheless an Ice type attack forces a switch either way. Along with Chespin, still bulky, and even immune to bomb/ball moves with its Bulletproof ability, but still cannot handle things like Ice Type moves (Mamoswine) and is completely annihilated by Charizard, which is why I never use it. Heck, Assault Vest Machamp is better than it. Greninja though, that beast 122 base speed. Run +speed nature, and kill Talonflame with Water Shuriken if you're physical. OR run King's Rock with Water Shuriken. Did I mention it has Shadow Sneak? :o

Torterra is okay. You can set up Stealth Rocks, Leech Seed, or you can go with Rock Polish and try to sweep. However, any Ice attack will most likely OHKO you, since it's 4x effective. And things like Ice Shard, which have priority, are pretty common. Empoleon is pretty annoying. Not only can it set up Rocks as well, but its unique Steel/Water type is very beneficial. Not only that, but it has Scald, which can lead to a burn since the chance to inflict one is a whopping 30%. Also, it has Defog, and pretty good bulk. And the Roar as well. Also Steel type coverage like Flash Cannon if you feel like it. At least I think it learns Flash Cannon. Also Ice Beam. I like Infernape the best when it comes to competitive play unless I need a special wall or some sort. The thing is, I run Focus Sash, Max EV Speed, and Max EV Attack, Adamant nature. I give it Close Combat, Mach Punch, and Stealth Rocks. Also, for the 4th slot I run Overheat. It's actually quite amazing. Although there is no Special Attack EVs bestowed upon it, it still packs quite a punch. I can use it for a few different tactics. For one, the base special attack stat on Infernape is just as high as its Attack stat, which are not low at all. Furthermore, when people see Mach and Close Combat, they think I'm all Physical, so they may send in some sort of wall, like Skarmory, to try and force me out. However, then I let loose Overheat, and catch them by surprise. It's an amazing mixed set. I just plain, don't like Delphox that much as the other Pokes. It just doesn't entice me enough. :P Chesnaught is alright, although Charizard Y OHKOs is. LOL. And any flying attack pretty much screws it over. *cough* Talonflame. Not to mention, although it's part fighting-type, Ice type moves are still super effective against it. :mellow: Whereas Greninja is good all-rounder. Good speed, good special attack AND attack, and, to some degree, capable defenses if you can predict with Protean.

Greninja! Pokémon Competitive Battling is great! I know Chesnaught is also competitive, but I like Greninja more. Better offensive capabilities, better coverage, big speed, and Protean ability, along with its signature priority move Water Shuriken.

Taser Gun? :D

I would imagine a battle like that would have emitted a ton of "buzzing" noises, and be quite lengthy. Lol. It's basically like everyone's trying to steal each other's Hp. xD

@Buggati: Yes, I think that would be the most likely case to this scenario. I find Shafts to be notorious for being one of those players who try to sneak a drug in. I hate it when they do that, and it often leads me to getting annoyed and going full-drug, but not before alerting the team in team-chat of course. Then, surprising the enemy with drugs, and sometimes accompanied by one or two other teammates that drug as well, start a big drug war. If it's a CTF match, then it'll depend on the situation for the choice of going for flag, or enemy shaft. I usually like to go for the flag first, then killing the Shaft with another set of drugs, unless you'll need to eliminate the Shaft first if he's blocking your way, such as being able to snipe you. Drugging or not, a Shaft shot hurts nonetheless, and can take away crucial chunks of Health and/or knock you off balance. For me, even the slightest drug use, is going to cause a drug war. Lol. I simply do not tolerate enemies trying to sneak in a drug or two. It's absolutely outrageous! Either go full-extent drugging, or no drugging. I play that way. :P Anyways! As I was saying before, Shafts can easily sneak in a DP (Double Power) or two, and not be noticed, since they're snipers, who will usually stay a safe distance away, thus you cannot see if they're drugging or not. Even though they might have picked the drug up, what are the chances of that happening when they're simply camping in a spot? A. It's a spot that's usually unseen and/or difficult to get to. B. It's a spot near the base that is nowhere near a drop spot. Then they start dealing double damage all of a sudden? And then say, I didn't drug? That's what pushes me to drug back full-force. If you want to play drugs, then okay. I'll play drugs. And it's even better since Shafts, when in snipe mode, have their vision cut, and won't be able to see what's coming for them. Haha. So just make sure you don't get spotted first with Full-drugs on, as the Shaft will alert his/her teammates. So I guess the conclusion would be, don't get spotted. You'll be able to take revenge later in the game. And if you cap a flag or two, well that's sweet revenge already now ain't it? Though I guess you can take a Railgun, and with some skill, annoy the heck out of him/her until you either: A. Provoke him/her to use Healthkit/DoubleArmor thereby proving even more so that he/she is drugging. B. Kill him/her and make sure they cannot get back to their camp spots. But once I did that, and apparently his/her enemy teammates, upon seeing him/her drugging, proceeded to drug as well, catching MY team by surprise. So I guess for me it's better to be safe than sorry and drug first. But then again be wary, and take precautions. Do you have what it takes for a drug war? Do you have enough drugs? Is the battle worth it? Is your team worth the drugging? All in all, are you prepared for a drug war? Though beware if you're going to attempt to kill him/her with a close-ranged weapon. If he/she is willing to sneak in DP's, he/she is most likely to be also willing to sneak in a couple mines or two.

@Uav: That's when you start wearing Digital/Prodigi paint. Haha.

So, Dictator, the old shoe, got polished up a bit? :P

@Robbie: No way! Wasp/Thunder is absolutely marvelous! Though maybe it did lose "value" since they added that silly penalty for self-destruction. It's absolutely ridiculous in my opinion.

Hazel-Rah! :ph34r: Didn't know you were active at this time. The Devs continue to surprise me. :lol:

@Rag1ng: Eh. I don't like keeping 2 accounts up at simultaneously. I'd rather just focus on one. The reason is, is that keeping up 2 accounts, means splitting the play time. Generally, I would progress much less than I would if I focused on one account. And although I could experience variety easier, the hulls and turrets wouldn't be high in M#. And I'd earn less crystals, and wouldn't be able to take advantage of Sales as much.

"Those players are non-buyers. They wouldn't give tanki anything for what tanki has done to them, of course they'd play the game, but will the pay? No. Tanki will be covered in adverts if that's whats going to happen." Eh. How can you be sure? If all the mad drugging got them pissed off at the game, why would they spend any money on it? Obviously they would just leave. That is why they wouldn't be buyers. However, they are potential buyers. After all, would you spend money on a game which you don't like to play? So, if the drugging were to be controlled, they could take a more liking to the game, and thus, spend money on it. The idea is pretty complex to think about, I must agree. Being able to only use 1 drug at a time will surely slow down drug-use quite a lot, and thus, less drugs will be used, and less shall be bought. Though Tanki Devs continue to surprise us. Haha. It'd be interesting to see how all this plays out.

The following portrays a classic “Capture the Flag” battle in the world of Tanki Online. With engines roaring, and the unique sound of each turret filling the air, we see a familiar, golden-orange streak, bolting across the sky. As it ascends into the air, it reveals itself as a war cry of a remorseful Railgun, taking in the failure of his job, and realizing his loss; the flag. As the Red team scrambles to the Blue base, it is in vain, as the thief, riddled with lightning-blue scars, gives one last taunt to the opposing team, and takes on victory.

@USA: I have my Isida at M3, but I don't think I will be MU'ing it anymore. I MU'ed it a few times (plus speed-ups) at the 50% MU sale, and I was still surprised at how fast it devoured my crystals. LOL. The buff in healing is good enough for me. :) When using Isida, I tend to like healing my team a lot. It's an absolutely great feeling when you're keeping your snipers and guards alive. Haha. Not to mention, personally, I'm happy the offensive capabilities of it got nerfed. No more fully drugged Isidas taking over CTF. They're practically indestructible cockroaches kidnapping flags. Oh the horrors. Great offensive, huge self-healing. The combination of double power/armor was a nightmare, and along with Inferno paint? GG. Even one drug, whether DA or DP, benefited Isida a lot more than how it would benefit any other lone turret I think. And the buffed Health Kit? o_o

@Xxemo_Dino: A bit of lag you've got there, it seems?

Firebird got nerfed that much? Hmmm. How does it fare in TDM though, considering now that its burning affect lasts a full 1 minute? That'd be interesting to see. Though, Isida, Health kit, AND Freeze can neutralize the burning. Now ain't that wonderful? Lol. @Loackie: But don't stats also play a part in playstyle?

Hey, but I've been thinking about this. People say how not letting people go full-drug will get many current players to quit. Hello? What about the people who quit BECAUSE of all the mad x3 drugging? They could come back, and thus, compensate for the loss players, and maybe earn even more. After all, in my opinion it could make the game look better in a way, instead of letting people drug mad x3. Lol. It could give a more sense of order, all the while keeping the game dynamic still. Also, the restriction to one drug at a time could make it more strategically implemented. Which drug will you use at that given time? Have to use that brain, and even predict. True, you'll need that Double Power to kill those 2 tanks at the flag. However, would you rather save that opportunity to use a Double Armor to safely run off with the flag, and try to take down the two tanks without Double Power? And so on . . . . The Devs will find more ways to keep the game dynamic, no doubt. And I'm sure they'll find a way to compensate for the mad druggers. Hey, they buffed Hornet due to popularity, and we all know how . . . ."popular" drugs are, and how they're important to Tanki finance-wise. Not to mention buffed the Health Kit, and Isida. I find it quite amazing how Isida and Healthkit can now cure Freeze/Burn affects. Not to mention, I do believe Druggers would become even more broken, x3 Druggers to be precise, with the future Healthkit. They can ward off freeze effects AND heal big chunks. How deadly is that? God_Mode_On definitely. LOL.

Lol! You're "study" on druggers made me laugh a bit. I was watching Animal Planet earlier. Haha. Tanki Planet: Drugger Edition. Starring: HillBillyJim. That's so perfect. :D And funny how Hillbillies were, what, mountain men? So it made me laugh even more since it would seem like you live out in the wilderness studying these dangerous "druggers." :lol: But. *ahem* I agree. If the fund is low, leave. .. . :P
