Lampent Unranked - > C/C- Another spinblocker that I think deserves a rank is Lampent. I've been using lampent as a fire type in my F/W/G core to great success lately, and the immunities of both fire and normal/fighting is unmatched by anything in the tier. What sets it off from the other...

Nominating Zangoose for B- or B rank. Zangoose is a hell of an underrated pokemont that is able to destroy most modern stall teams. Yes, it's base 90 speed is nowhere near perfect, and it's only viable set with Toxic Boost gets worn down quickly. It does well against most of the higher ranked...

Is there any particular reason why Aromatisse is B rank, while Florges is A rank? I've been running a psysically defensive Aromatisse lately with fantastic success! It's able to outright counter most of the higher ranked physical attackers here (Except for Setup sweepers like Feraligatr and Mega...

Solrock from C- to C+/B- Solrock has from my experience been a great Stealth rock setter. Being able to outspeed, burn and wall common stealth rock leads such as Piloswine, Marowak, Rampardos and Golem gives it a pretty solid niche in the metagame. Ground immunity and reliable recovery in...

Swap out Facade for Thunderbolt man. Normal is a bad typing for a coveredge move in the first place, and toxic spikes are too rare for situational moves like Facade to be worth it. If you feel like you have to use a physically normal move (which I highy recommend you not to do), at least use...

I've found a bug in the teambuilder! PS says it's illegal to have swords dance on Shedinja, but if you evolve Nincada at level 25 (when Ninjask learns SD), Shedinja will also get the move. Please fix this soon as Shedinja is a very fun pokemon to experiment with.

Confirming. GG lars :)

Hey mate! I am GMT + 1, but I have a very flexible schedule. I'll be online for about 2 hours (from this post) if you can battle today. Sadly, I'll be gone tomorrow, so I'd prefer to battle today. If this is not possible, I'll be online on Friday from about 6PM GMT to pretty much as long as I...

Well this set should at least on paper be able to singlehandy beat the Zoidberg stall team: Mandibuzz (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Big Pecks EVs: 252 HP / 136 SAtk / 120 Spd (speed is to outspeed cryogonal) Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Nasty Plot - Taunt - Roost - Dark Pulse/Air slash It may...

If you smash pass to a pokemon holding white herb, will the lowered stats that you passed go away?

@ The Qwaz. Yes, there are plenty of ways to deal with all the viable terrakion sets, however what you do fail to realize is that you have absolutely no idea which kind of set it is. Lets say you just used a free turn with T-Tar to set up SR. During this setup, your oppenent switched into...

Cofagrigus 48th in the 1337 stats? Shame.. It has great potential in the current metagame and it's OTR set singlehandly beats most sand teams. Seriously, this mon is damn amazing! Anyway, it's great to see Machamp and Togekiss being on the rise. Seems like those parahax teams became really popular.

I've been laddering a lot recently and I'm also fed up with losing against sand teams because of a miss. SV is unhealthy for the metagame and while Stoutland has a fairly big list of counters, it's very powerful given the right support (for example Magneton). It seems to be even more sand teams...

A great check to sun teams is Choice Scarf Victreebell. Victreebell perfectly revenges every sun sweeper after SR and does also work very well as a late game cleaner without sun support. This stage certainly looks very interesting and I can't wait to test out some rain teams now that ludicolo...
