  1. On The Radar Vol. 2 [See Post #336]

    I don't think anyone is arguing that Gorilla Tactics as an ability is as unhealthy as Moody or Shadow Tag. That part is very clear. Any mon that is as trash as Gothitelle or Glalie would still not tear apart OU with Gorilla Tactics. It's obviously just the fact that they gave this very ability...
  2. Metagame SS OU Metagame Discussion (Usage stats in post #944)

    Honestly, I get all the dont talk about future bans when the dynamax one has not even been decided on, but people are trying to figure out the meta and that includes the meta going forward as well, so I think its just logical to discuss what could happen next. After all it was not THAT wrong to...
  3. Battle Tree Discussion and Records

    That is fair, ignore the second idea with Z Psych Up then. However, when not planning to use CM anyway the Icium alternative with both Haze (for annoying Double Teamers and random boosts) and an ice move seem like a viable alternative. May just be me, but I generally have concerns with defensive...
  4. Battle Tree Discussion and Records

    A few pages back I saw someone mention Z-Refresh Tapu Fini to make up for its lack of recovery. After educating myself a bit more on Z stauts moves, doesn't Haze give the same effect except having a much more relevant primary effect as opposed to refresh on a Misty Surge pokemon? I could see a...
  5. Battle Tree Discussion and Records

    I haven't really started going for high streaks yet on SuMo, but once pokebank comes out I'm planning to use some of the stuff I used in the Battle Maison back then. It's interesting to read that people are using M-Sciz-Chomp-Fini teams now, because that's exactly what I had been planning to do...
  6. Resource ORAS OU Simple Questions, Simple Answers (Read the OP First!)

    I calced Diggersby wrong, I corrected it above. I was assuming a neutral nature for its 464 attack, which it can only achieve with a positive nature. It's actually 161.5 then. and yeah, it's approximately double the base atk plus 50.
  7. Resource ORAS OU Simple Questions, Simple Answers (Read the OP First!)

    Azu has 149 base attack, Mega Medicham has 249.5 base attack. Just go by the actual stat value. 252+ Azu has 436 attack with Huge Power factored in, and 436 attack is actually what you get with 252+ base 149 attack without Huge Power. 252 Jolly Medicham has 598 attack with Pure power factored...
  8. np: XY OU Suspect Testing Round 5 - Ghost of Perdition

    @ people saying that Aegislash is holding OU together and that it therefore shouldn't be banned: I kinda agree with that, but only before the Deos got banned. Aegislash was literally the only existing pokemon that was able to easily hard counter variants of both Deo-D and Deo-S 100% of the...
  9. Other XY OU Viability Ranking Thread (V2) (Last update on post #5189)

    Hold on a second. If you insist on comparig Cloyster to Pinsir, get your facts straight at least. Cloyster does not trade SOME power, it trades over 1/4 of its power on its main STAB and a full 40% of its power on the priority move. It also trades almost 1/2 of its special bulk for a roughly 24%...
  10. Other XY OU Viability Ranking Thread (V2) (Last update on post #5189)

    I don't necessarily disagree with Espeon staying in B- at least, though those replays don't really prove much. The first three were against inexperienced opponents (who forgot to put Huge Power on their Azumarill for instance) and the only battle against someone high on the ladder was decided by...
  11. Battle Maison Discussion & Records

    StarKO You're totally right, I should have realized what set it was beforehand and it may have won me the battle in the end. That's kinda the problem with such a streak... after almost 500 battles in only a few days you get kinda lazy and sloppy when you should really check every trainer you...
  12. Battle Maison Discussion & Records

    Thanks! And I totally agree. Basically, if you want to get a really good streak (let's say you want 200 at least, which gives you the rare berry and which gets you near the top 10), you simply cannot use moves with imperfect accuracy. The 1% miss chance of Wide Lens Play Rough almost cost me at...
  13. Battle Maison Discussion & Records

    Alright, my Super Singles streak just ended at 485. Hax got me in the end. Not really surprising, because the team did not really have any huge weaknesses that I could lose to. Onto the team itself: Scizor @ Scizorite Ability: Technician EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SDef Adamant Nature - Bug...
  14. Battle Maison Discussion & Records

    Yeah, I'm always on the fence about Fire Fang vs Sub. I definitely can't use Lefties, because I need the Lum on my Chomp. I think I'll try Sub anyway. It's basically the decision between a better solution to Sub-Seeders, which can be quite annoying, and the OHKO move users in general vs a better...
  15. Battle Maison Discussion & Records

    Nothing special really, considering the old Mega + Dragon type + water type teams are apparently the standard of non-Entruantment teams. Mine is Scizor, Garchomp, Azumarill. I'll post the exact sets and my reasoning behind them when the streak is over. This run is actually only my 2nd or 3rd...
