I don't know if this really counts as a double post since the last post was Sunday but sorry if it is! What advantages does Timburr have over Mienfoo aside from more reliable priority in Mach Punch? It seems to me that Mienfoo has everything a fighting type in this tier really wants, so I'm not...

I definitely meant to say Wingull and Carvhana... it's been one of those weeks, I guess :psyduck: That does make sense though. Thanks!

Is Froakie not viable in LC? It seems like it would be (I'm new to LC so I don't know) but it maxes out at 17 speed which seems to be below average for a mon that doesn't really have too much bulk. If I had to guess it's generally just outclassed by Wingull and Pelipper, but I'm not sure...

in lets do this

Hey guys! I've been out of competitive mons for a while but I think I wanna get back into it. I know in previous gens there was a threat to post replays of games so people could help you figure out how to improve as a battler. I didn't see one now, but is that something that could potentially...

Ferrothorn @ Leftovers Ability: Iron Barbs EVs: 252 HP / 88 Def / 168 SpD Relaxed Nature - Spikes - Leech Seed - Gyro Ball - Power Whip Ferrothorn can punish Volt-Turn in a multitude of ways. It has Iron Barbs to deal residual damage to U-Turners, and a grass typing that resists Volt Switch...

Volcarona Overview Volcarona has always been one of those Pokemon that’s been so close to competitive relevance, but it’s always been missing something. Something to let it burst through would-be checks, when all it needs is one extraordinarily powerful move to secure a sweep. If only...

I don't mean to be "that guy" but EdgeQuake is technically resisted by Breloom, Torterra, Virizion, and Chesnaught. Those aren't all relevant in OU, but you said EdgeQuake hit every single Pokemon neutrally, and it doesn't. Really good article otherwise!
