I think a big change this gen is the ability for both parents to pass egg moves on. Previously illegal combos open up new possibilities for certain mons. For example I'm thinking of trying Azumarill @ lefties Sub/Belly Drum/Aqua Jet/Play Rough with Sticky Web support from Shuckle. Which reminds...

It takes hours of breeding or RNG abuse to get good pokes to use in the Subway/Tower. Don't post streaks here if you're going to use AR, it's in the OP. If you're looking for solid team strategies check the previous page of this thread; I posted a link to a useful post by NoCheese.

I don't get this "Xerneas Is broken" thing. It's dumb. ExtremeKiller can plow through any team with one turn of setup once it's counters are removed or sufficiently weakened. And it can hold an item that doesn't just have one use. So it can potentially attempt a sweep more than once and...

I've been thinking of something along the lines of what Nubbins said. It definitely seems to be best suited to an offensive tank role based on the info we currently have. Specs/Scarf/Life Orb is outclassed by existing 'mons but I think the below set affords Goodra a useful & viable niche...

Really? So you're saying that, for example, Fire Blast and Inferno are equal? Or Thunder and Zap Cannon? I could go on but I think you get my point here. Just, no.

All Zygarde could do is switch into TW- and then promptly get smashed by Moon Blast...

I see potential for a Xerneas set something like this: Destroyerofworlds @ lefties - sub - t-wave - geomancy - moon blast Modest max sp atk, enough speed to get past scarf base 100's at +2, rest in hp. The idea would be to cripple its counters with TW and use quiver dance 2.0 behind the safety...

http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/black-white-battle-subway-records-now-with-gen-4-records.102593/page-91#post-4695218 Check out that post by NoCheese from a while back, it'll give you all the info you need. Good luck. I'm assuming the standard Roar/Copycat set? First off, I reckon...

My bad. Thanks for the info.

I caught onto this thread late; anyone have a link to a page with all the currently leaked 'mons?

Haven't posted in a while but last I did, I was ranting about Dodrio. And guess what, it's horrible... I used the team I mentioned in an earlier post and after about 52 million attempts I could only manage a 74 win streak. Now that may not sound so bad considering the team featured Dodrio but...

Ah that's a pity. After reconsidering, Scarf Heatran makes a lot more sense than Scizor. It takes care of some potentially problematic 'mons for Starmie & Lando-T while Scizor would really need the extra power CB brings to do the same. The only problem is stacking the Water weakness with Lando-T...

It's an interesting trade off between speed vs power & Intimidate. I imagine Intimidate has been useful? Scizor is potentially a good partner. Keeping to the Choice theme, either standard BP/UT/SP/AA @ Band and give Lando-T the scarf instead (loss of speed mitigated + priority gained) or...

Thanks for the replies, much appreciated. @NoCheese Most definitely agree. Dodrio is frail as f#%* and will likely have a difficult time setting up against quite a few things. 'Cune will likely end up doing most of the heavy lifting but hopefully I'll get a couple Dodrio sweeps off. The...

Right. So I've given up on Breloom. He's awesome, but the Subway doesn't care about awesome. So on to the next thing: Dodrio. I'm thinking something like this: Whimsicott @ Sash: WS - Taunt - Flash - Memento Suicune @ Chesto: Sub - CM - Scald - Rest Dodrio @ Lefties/Sharp Beak: Sub - AP -...
