I didn't mean to imply that Uxie needed a STAB move, I just meant that it's kind of silly to put a scarf on a pokemon and not even have any use for it (other than tricking).

Do people really consider trickscarf Uxie's flagship set? I'd really have to disagree with that being the "go-to" set on Uxie due to the fact that it makes almost no use of the scarf before tricking it away (unless you count its pitifully weak u-turn). The set listed in the OP doesn't even have...

You can call me Dave or David man. I've got different usernames everywhere. But yeah Branflakes is a friend of mine and I make suggestions for his teams from time to time. I'm not begging for any credit though, it was Branflakes who found the great synergy of these mons. But now I have to call...

Oh man, here comes the premier Trick Room Swagger+Flash user! ...../s It's a shame that Diancie's currently known movepool and stat distribution have to be so lame. Sure it can check a few top threats in Mega Charizard X/Y and Pinsir, but it either needs a balloon or near full health to take...

Has anyone thought about using rain dance on Keldeo to trap and kill Zard Y's going for solar beam? Most Keldeos run dual water stab anyway (surf/hydro or scald/hydro), so you can just get rid of one water move to fit in rain dance. Another downside is that you can't hold a choice item anymore...

I have to second adding "ignore opponent" or "ignore all" as an option. I hardly play anymore because I'm sick of people complaining about hax, trash talking, etc. I've even met some salty-ass fuckers in random battles, what's up with that? I don't even respond to these types of people anymore...

A somewhat creative set I've come up with and used to decent success that I've never seen before is Rest Tentacruel with heal bell support. Tentacruel is still a fantastic spinner this gen despite the loss of rain dish + perma rain. It still has a great typing typing that lets it check new...

It's worth it if it can guarantee OHKOs/2HKOs. It has the power of STAB stone edge backed by even more attack than scarf Terrakion, with a life orb on top. It'll deal a massive chunk to almost anything that doesn't resist it. Although you're right about the recoil being pretty bad, especially...

I wouldn't say Emboar has nothing over Darmanitan... wild charge can let it beat some of the bulkiest of water types if they switch in, while Darmanitan can easily be forced out. 252+ Atk Life Orb Emboar Wild Charge vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Suicune: 177-211 (43.8 - 52.2%) -- 71.9% chance to 2HKO...

In what sense is Rotom-W easy to wear down? True, it has limited switch ins and no reliable recovery, but its bulk, typing, ability, and movepool basically guarantee that you get off a burn or gain momentum at least once, if not several times per match, which can easily change the outcome. I...

Although I fully agree with your point, that Terrakion set is just a really silly option considering any normal Terrakion set already checks MK well. No need to run weird niche sets that try to "counter" it, and poorly at that since it can't really switch into EQ more than once. Speaking of...

I just lost Super Multi on the 70th battle (streak of 69), so no leaderboard for me (yet). I used Mega Kangaskhan (Return, Power-up Punch, Rock Slide, Sucker Punch) and specially defensive super-sized Gourgeist (Protect, Leech Seed, Will-o-Wisp, Seed Bomb). My AI partner had Sylveon...

I was the one who first nominated Clauncher for D/E, although now I'd say it's not as terrible as some of the current E-nominated mons, so I guess I still support D for it, possibly C at best but I still think that's pushing it. I'd just like to remind everyone that literally everything works in...

Nope, non-foreign (NA) level 30 caught fresh from the Friend Safari. Just goes to show you how many people are sending out decent pokes on wonder trade now. Also I advise everyone keep all of their wonder trade fodder, even if they're Flabebes or whatever. I now have 4 full boxes of wonder...
