any help and suggestions would be appreciated

I prefer Zen Headbutt over Psychic, it does more damage to Heracross, besides it'll have a higher flinch rate along with Serene Grace. U-Turn is a very helpful move when used by Jirachi, as you don't want a Magnezone trapping it. Dugtrio will do the same, and hit you with a powerful Earthquake otherwise.

 

[Samson]

sassy is a bad nature on jirachi, but if you want to go with it, then get rid of light screen and give it reflect. also, replace psychic with zen headbutt for the flinch hax.

although having u-turn on jirachi is vital to its survivability as a support poke, it needs speed evs to pull it off anyway.

 

[Azonic]

okayy... well then...

Scrap Psychic for Zen.

Get a Thunderwave too.

Samson, you said the same thing he said. =\ Making that post sorta pointless and stuff

OKAY, i don't understand why i have tolerated your willingness to outgo your duties as a moderator to insult my intelligence. quite simply put, it's pathetic. i think your lack of strategic prowess for the game has made you upset that i've been able to out-lecture your attempts at horrible suggestions for battle and even worse ones for forum conduct.

i assume this kind of a post is what you wanted so you could have more of a reason to try to warn me or report me. of course, you do. that's why you've been reading all my posts trying to misinterpret their meaning and discredit the veracity of what i post.

how do i know that? well let's start on a trip to a current incident. we shall first examine your post:

My suggestion is that he can tone it down in the "I'm better and more knowledgeable than you" attitude. Something like that can definitely get him in trouble.

Not saying that any of his posts breaks the rules whatsoever. Some people are sensitive, and they take what he say as a flamebait comment, and go "stfu n00b" and stuff.

To Samson: Careful with what you say. One day you might say something that falls under the category of flamebait without realizing it, and that can land you in a deep hole =\.

Also, this pertaining to the quote above, don't do that again. Even if you're angered by what Samson says. Make your post as legitimate as possible. No discrimination whatsoever.

this is you basically giving iwillmakeyoufaint, a member of the forum who has insulted various other members and cheated in his online battles, a reason to continue his flaming. enlighten me, what does 'flamebait' (btw, not a word) have anything to do with what he's said? you'd think that a mod would simply warn him (seeing as it is his third negative incident in the wifi battle forum) and tell him not to do it again, but you say, "Make your post as legitimate as possible"... or in translation, "flame better." nice mod work there.

and i'm sure why you would emphasize my, as you put it, "I'm better and more knowledgeable than you" attitude. you've virtually lost hope against it with every attempt you've made to "help" others. i suppose all it takes to become a mod here is post for a long time and have perfect capitalization methods in your posts as well as being sure to change your username to some random japanese anime reference periodically.

but before i continue to bore you with this, do tell me, how exactly was my previous post "pointless"? and if it was pointless, why didn't you just delete the post, and why did you waste a post contemplating how pointless it was? i'm pretty sure that post is spam.

the only thing that i mentioned that Shirosaki said was Zen Headbutt. Shiro never suggested using Reflect for one, and i specified that U-turn is a good move to have on Jirachi, but since his jirachi has no speed evs, then he should not even bother using it. as far as content, the posts were not alike especially if you consider Shiro's use of "prefer" and my concrete suggestions.

so, what have we learned musashi, or hoshiko, or whatever other names you've used to gain *cough* popularity *cough*? NOTHING! i'm sure there is nothing to be taught here as you will be confiding in the residence of your admin friends, fellow moderators and any brown-nosers to follow.

If I could delete your post, I would. It seems that it has come to this that you've paid no attention to the forum index, meaning the S&M.

... sadomasochism???

I think you need to lighten up as a moderator. Samson gave his honest answer, and included some stuff that the first guy didn't. Not every redundancy is deserving of your attention, and not every counter to your meandering moderation deserves a warning.

You're not RoboMod, so stop acting like it.

 

[Samson]

Congrats. You've earned yourself a warning. You said the same thing Ryan said, making pointless accusations and the such. I will ignore the rest and stuff.

I may not be the mod of this forum, but it IS withing my jurisdiction to warn members outside of my forum. I would leave that to smarties, since it would be much more preferred, but in this case, it's different.

I gave you a very nice little note not to flamebait. And now, it has to come to this.

I help others in my own way. Tell me, how do you think YOU help people? You don't. Moderation is more than capatilization and other stuff. If you consider helping people's team all there is to the word itself, I must say, you're a long way off.

And for you information, if you would care to look, I cannot delete posts that are not in my forum. It's pointless, yes, Smarties is the only mod here. If I could delete your post, I would. It seems that it has come to this that you've paid no attention to the forum index, meaning the S&M. Therefore making the statement you made quite void.

Next time, if you're going to prove me wrong on something, please state some facts instead of useless, quite void statements and opinions.

you know, you use a lot of the same words in your posts. it's like you can't justify ANTHING you've done, other than just implying that what others say has no content.

i'm sure if you asked any commoner how much they've learned from my posts and how much they've gained from yours, you STILL wouldn't care to recognize that you've done nothing in trying to improve the greater good of the forum board.

don't get me wrong, i'm not at all threatened by you or any other staff member at this forum board. but i must say, i'm glad you admit that you have been motivated to have a confrontation with me from the start. so we're all sure of one thing: you abuse your position as a moderator to begin crossfires.

you also admit that the general public is opposed to your acts as a moderator. we're now sure of another thing: you must be doing something wrong.

so as far as my warning goes, i couldn't be happier. in doing so, we've been able to establish the following:

Musashi-Kun, the Wifi Battles forum moderator, abuses his/her position as a moderator to begin crossfires with members he/she has targeted for a significant amount of time.

Musashi-Kun, the Wifi Battles forum moderator, must be doing his/her job as a moderator of a forum wrong if commoners often express a problem with how he/she does his/her job.

i must say, this is an extraordinary collaboration we've been able to complete here, musashi. we should publish this and brandish this in our signatures.

Okay guys, if you have complaints about the staff, take it to PM. This is NOT the place AT ALL. Next off-topic post about modding in this thread is a warning. And if you don't like this... well, I'll be looking forward to that PM. ;D

 

[Punishment]

- Reflect
- Wish
- U-Turn
- Zen Headbutt/Protect

With Reflect, beneficial nature (Def+) and full Defense EVs Jirachi takes Earthquakes like candy form a baby. XD

Jirachi makes an awesome support Pokemon and an okay attacker. Neverthless it should be focusing on supporting. Wish support if played right with U-Turn allows Jirachi to reek havoc and escape the likes of Magnezone and Dugtrio. Zen Headbutt/Protect is up to you. It does have their advantages. Zen hits Heracross' and the likes. Protect allows Jirachi to use Wish for instant HP recovery.

But like Samson said, Jirachi needs a bit of Speed to pull off a support role. Sassy decreases Speed... so what you could do is go with a surprise attacker Jirachi. No one really expects that, so it's usually assumed he's basically a free switch to try to set something up (like Garchomp, who can Swords Dance while taking trivial damage from U-Turn). You could include Doom Desire, a move I generally steer clear from because it takes two turns before it hits, but it's incredibly powerful (at 120 base plus a STAB). With Doom Desire, you don't need any focus on Speed, since Jirachi wouldn't need to outrun anyone, it'd just need to be able to absorb attacks, and whoever the unlucky one is to be out when Doom Desire hits would take some serious damage (unless it resisted it). As soon as Blissey, Magnezone and the likes (those who either absorb or resist a special Steel attack) are taken out, Doom Desire becomes very scary.

Jirachi @Leftovers
Sassy nature
EVs: 252 HP, 112 Def, 128 SpAtk, 16 SpDef
- Doom Desire
- Wish
- Psychic
- U-Turn/Reflect/Protect

Kind of an un-standard moveset, but I believe it could work out. Jirachi has great base stats all around, so max HP gives it more survivability, a bit of focus on Special Attack gives Doom Desire and Psychic some power (Psychic over Zen Headbutt in this case), Wish for recovery, and the last move is up to you. U-Turn allows it to escape Dugtrio and Magnezone, which would help. Reflect makes him bulkier, and Protect could work well with Wish.

Eh, maybe I'm completely off here... oh well.
