0 SpA Aerilate Salamence Hyper Voice vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Slowbro: 177-208 (44.9 - 52.7%) -- 25.8% chance to 2HKO EDIT: Actually, wait!!! 0 SpA Aerilate Salamence Hyper Voice vs. 252 HP / 168 SpD Slowbro: 145-172 (36.8 - 43.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO The spreads may get ridiculous, but it may be...

It's worth noting that Mega Slowbro can take 2 uninvested Dracos from Mega Mence, and obviously soaks up any physical hits it can dish out. This means that Slowbro should be able to invest in enough sp def to take 2 dracos from whatever mix mence spread people choose to use, and can then hit it...

Due to Salamence probably being in OU for at least a few days, I recommend that during that brief period of time, everyone should run either Ice Shard Mamo or Ice Shard M-Glalie, as I legitimately believe it will be just that threatening. Incidentally, I tried to work out a good set for Mega...

It's worth noting that as well as Altaria taking on both Zards, ending the 50/50 factor of guessing its form for the players that choose to use it and have already mega evolved, it also beats Keldeo, which is another powerful offensive threat, and it should be able to take on Thundurus and...

I feel like you dropped Bulky wisp Charizard X too quickly. Due to its unique typing (in OU anyway) it can come in on lots of threats such as Thundurus, Char Y, and Bisharp, and apply great pressure by spreading burns or dealing damage with one of its stab moves. Also, it fits on a variety of...

True, Knock Off Pinsir appears to be a bad tech choice at first glance, because bunnyspam already does well against most varients of stall, and it becomes much less effective against balanced and offensive teams because of the coverage move it gives up. I guess we can just wait for this to die...

I'm not going to nominate any pokemon to move up or down, but I just have an issue with how Clefable's sets are divided up - "unaware" is listed as a+, and "unaware cleric" is listed as a-. Presumably, "unaware" means the unaware CM set whereas "unaware cleric" means the...

Yeah, that's another alternative, but it makes +2 Pinsir much less threatening, because basically every offensive team out there carries at least one thing with over 105 base speed, like the latis or terrak, and because of that, you can almost guarantee that Pinsir won't be cleaning up.

That's a sad trend that I've heard about but not yet experienced. Hopefully, it will die out soon, due to Pinsir really missing out on its coverage move - with this, stuff like Heatran and Tyranitar beat it, and I'd assume that the opposing player would not want to be in such a disadvantageous...

Air balloon Diancie actually does pretty well against bunny spam, when you think about it. The only problem is that a full health Diggersby can pop the balloon with return, then wreck it with EQ. Ideally, we would to avoid overspecialising to beat certain strategies. Teching a new item on skarm...

This thread has actually been very helpful for me in building stall, I'd like to offer some ideas about what I've personally found useful. Most of this will already have been discussed, but Doublade beats a huge number of the new wallbreakers that have emerged after aegi's ban, as well as taking...

This isn't why things are banned. Bans aren't there to shake up the meta, they are there to make it more healthy, so whether this leads to more variety or not is totally irrelevant. The thing that separates Mawile from the other megas you mentioned is that it rips apart all playstyles, unlike...

I don't agree with this post at all. The Aegislash ban lets wallbreakers such as Gardevoir, Heracross, and Medicham become more common, that is actually extremely detrimental to stall. Some stall players were actually worried about whether their preferred playstyle would even be viable with...

Personally, I think that Mawile should be banned, and that this is a clear-cut decision. If anyone disagrees with me, and hasn’t used it yet, I implore you to do so. Mawile has many things going for it, and good typing is just one of them. Points about it being able to hit like a truck have...

Thanks, I really appreciate this rate. Considering both you and Chimpact have suggested an air balloon on Excadrill, the opposing sand weakness must be pretty obvious, so this seems a solid choice, and definitely something to test out. I'll do some calcs with the Mawile spread, and see if it...
