>substitutes because it outspeeds your Dug or other offensive threat to not get statused, a good way to deal with it, and then baton pass or not
>Zapdos gets hidden power iced or tbolted while not being able to hit back, phasers like Suicune Swampert Moltres get HP Grassd or Tbolted
>roars you out for trying to set up defenses or offenses
These two are cancer and they're not even OU staples.

That's why you use Marowak. Bonemerang fucks Sub sets, it has Rock Slide for Zap, it doesn't get OHKO by HP Grass, and it doesn't have to set up for damage thanks to Thick Club. It can even gimmick with Sing!

>>58846029
You know what I mean. Jolt could run Ice and Grass and Raikou could too
>>58846096
And then my Ttar or Swamp get chipped or KO'd in Swamp case and Aerodactyl would be oneshot too, Claydol is also an ice/grass victim. If you didnt lead right against lead jolt you're pretty fucked and in its vacuum.

Isn't the standard 252+ Attack 252 Speed 4 SpeDef? What else am I gonna run bro to fulfill Dugs purpose if hes only gonna break the sub at best after switching in my sac to actualy be able to get him in that is
>>
>>
>>58848286
I don't remember the exact EV spread, but it was the standard in Gen 4 UU when Raikou was legal and should work exactly the same way in Gen 3 OU. If Raikou subs on the switch, you break the sub, live the Hidden Power, and knock it out. If Raikou Hidden Powers on the switch, you live and knock it out. If it does anything else, you knock it out without taking any damage.

Something like that, yes. Chappyfag is an anon who treats threads like they're meant to be Eeveelution art spam if the OP image contains one of them.
Generals are somehow Chappyfag repellent, even Eevee Friday threads lack Chappyfag despite actually being intended as Eevee fanart threads.

Wow so it really is just because i posted the literal just a gen 3 sprite of Jolteon that the thread is like this
Even though it also had Raikou.
>>
>>
>>58849042
Then you just knock it out? Unless you’re saying that you let it get up a sub and a CM before you even brought Dugtrio in, in which case what the fuck are you even doing? You bring Dugtrio in immediately after you see Raikou.
>>
>>58849253
Noted thank you, I am an admitted newbie to 3 OU so ive been on sample teams spam to try and adapt since its a nice distraction game on the monitor while watching something else, so I felt truly fucked by Jolt and Raikou due to my misplays

How often does Raikou even run Roar? It would have to give up Substitute, which makes it extremely weak to status, or Calm Mind, which means it can’t sweep.
Regardless, Claydol also fucks it up pretty badly, Blissey walls it forever, and it loses to either Swampert or Flygon depending on which Hidden Power it’s running. Another niche counter is Steelix, which it can’t really hurt at all unless it’s running HP Water.
>>
>>58854471
No I mean roar users like skarm the birds suicune etc get hp grass tbolted or hp iced by Jolt and Raikou, before they can roar them out, and in Jolts case, can even baton pass out.
Tyranitar gets tbolted Salamence too, Dug MAYBE breaks the sub and doesn't die (I use the sample set import which is 100+ Jolly for some reason but I assume it's right as it has the bulk investment)

Stoss blissey, Steelix, Snorlax, Nonchipped tar, break the sub and revenge with something faster if you fucked up and also have nothing with a backbone, and they also both struggle into each other depending on their sets though between the two Raikou tends to come out on top thanks to cm unless it's roar jolt. These are all just off the top of my head, they're strong threats but they fell off for a reason, there is ample counterplay to them ESPECIALLY as leads when Raikou in particular is most threatening for a late game sweep once you're chipped. Also it's absurd that you're saying they're broken when they could have grass or ice, they can only have one. Is tar completely unstoppable because it can theoretically run just about everything? No, because it can't run it all at once, adv is not explosive enough for that to be an issue like it is in future gens where getting it wrong costs you the entire game, unless your team is built like ass. And even then, mence presents the same issue but 10x greater
>>
>>
>>58854449
The same way you deal with any other Raikou. Sand, spikes, and applying offensive pressure to make setting up as difficult as possible. Being a grounded electric type, Raikou can be quickly worn down by all three even with a sub. Punish your opponent for effectively playing a five mon team for most of the match.

Yeah, and Tyranitar can run hp grass, dd, focus punch, fire blast, slidequake, ice beam, thunder wave, toxic, and hp bug but no single tar is going to have all those. If the electrics have hp ice, they get stonewalled by swampert, if they have grass they get stonewalled by flygon/celebi or tanked and ko'd by mence. You're too retarded to get the point since you're dumb enough to be whining about the fucking electrics of all things so I don't know why I'm trying to make you see reason

I miss Jolteon being good. They should take Extreme Evoboost and turn it into an actual move like what happened with Clanging Scales that does an omniboost when used by Eevee and boosts the users two highest stats by a single stage for Eevee evolutions

>He fell for the Jimothy Fool gen 3 shilling
Even gen 4 is better, IH Jirachi annoying? just run Substitute on Heatran or use it as set up bait for Sub Petaya Empoleon or Agility Metagross or switch in a Rotom form if scared of Body Slam

Why are you using Raikou wrong?
Raikou and Jolteon do very different things, Raikou isn't fat Jolteon, it's goofy Suicune. Usually worse, but fits certain niches, especially on teams that have bait for dug, and want to run shit like Starmie.

>zhaaaarx I am totally new samefaggan jeet again who totally doesn't need to reply to myself just so I can afford curry this week and totally didn't want the thread to be bumped because I don't want anyone to notice that I have no idea how to play anything zhaaarx why am I not being allowed to samefag and whine without my entire geetkord's agenda and ethnicity getting exposed you are rayciss if you notice that the only thing that ever ruins a thread is the presence of a single samefaggan geetkord groomaar or that my ever-changing ESL story keeps changing because I've never gotten my story straight
>zhaaar please stop taking care of fluffy little pets it's so mean and rayciss that a single fluffball is far more valuable than the lives of every single geet put togethaar it's very rayciss to bump threads unless you follow additional requirements from samefaggan geets that don't belong here
>remember zhaarx when a samefaggan geet wants to cover something up you just know it's the truth and whenever a samefaggan geet wants to make a claim you just know it's the opposite of the truth
>remember zhaarx the poor oppressed op wanted the thread to die early so i can have more room for my shitty ads it's very mean and rayciss to notice that I don't actually give a shit about "derailing" which is another word a samefaggan geet will never understand and will just try to imitate or "spam" which is another word a samefaggan geet will never understand and will just try to imitate or "dumping" which is another word a samefaggan geet will never understand and will just try to imitate
>please saar stop noticing that what i'm actually crying about is bumping which is why I try to pretend "muh chappy" is the one bumping these threads during my zhartygeet raids which are actual spam
