Z's adaptability Tri-Attack comes off a slightly higher base SpA, hits at 180 BP (effectively more w/ download boost), does not lower SpA on each use, has perfect accuracy+chance of additional effect (hax), and has good neutral coverage; near perfect even w/ darkpulse/shadowball and HP fighting...

@ cosbykid Hence substitute; most scizor are choice locked, so if you sub on the switch, you get a free hit on a mon who is likely a cornerstone on your opponents team. This is why life orb should be the primary slash; I'd imagine a life orb cc would do a number on a scizor thinking that it's...

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but Rhyperior occupies this strange grey area: it is not on the list of "What aren't we writing about" yet it also isn't up for reservation (not that I have any desire to write about him.) If there are no plans for an OU analysis, perhaps...

throwing around those sorts of numbers serves no practical purpose. what matters most is how the attacks in question fair against their intended targets. i.e leaf blade vs blissey/chancey, powerwhip vs blissey/chancey, hidden power fire under the sun vs metagross/specially defensive jirachi/etc...

@Paradoxus if you read over the previous page of this thread, or do some research on serebii, you'd see that one cannot run weather ball AND power whip do to breeding incompatibilities. So for the set recently posted above, one would have to have power whip/hidden power, or seed bomb/weather...

yeah I think its when people are starting to argue about jynx that the people in charge can finally step back from all this and know that the system worked

you know what, Z's only one goddam pokemon which nobody really uses anyway. However, he's one pokemon who's likely to blow the SHIT out of UU, and somebody's going to have to right that OU analysis for him. The threat of a UU status hasn't stopped the analysis of snorlax (who by the way also is...

Do either of those guys enjoy having a choice specs/scarf attached to them? In fact, I could see luring and tricking these to guys to be quite a niche for porygon z, because I could see both switchin in like fools onto Z. Besides few teams I have ever faced feature TWO fighting priority users...

I think Porgygon-Z's main function is as a choiced wall breaker, not sweeper. With team preview, prediction, especially with such high-powered moves, is quite a bit easier than it used to be. His main issue is that he needs more moves than he used to need. Bolt beam plus tri attack doesn't cut...

This is my first ever post: Wait, so you guys think letting a TANK with already pitiful base HP have only 176 total hit points is a good idea? His primary goal isn't to damage opponents a tiny bit more when he heals, it is to tank hits. He can't pain split at all if he's dead, and he will, more...
