I hope you're not actually serious. Entei is a powerful physical threat, but you can still wall it and wear it down with relative ease with Aggronite users, Blue Orb users and other walls, and Espeed it back with Pinsirite users. Electrify is 32 turns at least that you can spend being...

At this point it's painfully obvious that Electrify should be removed to greatly improve the meta the next time it becomes playable. We'll just have to see what the council decides, but hopefully they ban, considering all of the arguments for the ban and the lack of arguments against.

Besides the absolutely random argument about what trapping is, this thread has turned into a discussion about suspecting an incredibly potent threat to the tier. Besides AJA appealing to his own authority, nothing besides discussion constructive to the tier is happening. That, and you...

I agree with Darth Manaphy. Banning Electrify only affects Heliolisk and Smeargle, and allows Heliolisk to continue using the Blue Orb set.

I mean, at this point it's pretty clear B- isn't where Heliolisk belongs at all. With a moderate amount of support, you can make a team with a solid core whose 6th member happens to be immortal in a large number of situations. You can argue that new players to the tier wouldn't know how to use...

How exactly does stall laugh in its face? Many threats of stall can't do anything to it at all, and are eventually worn down and removed by plus 6 thunderbolts and dragon pulses, or just straight up PP stalled. Meanwhile, every team in the tier should be prepared for Espeed abusers, and...

Still in need of five non-starter Pokemon for my Y scramble.

I heavily disagree that Swagger is a set for inexperienced players. I have used it to great success on other simulators. The fact of the matter is that even a non-STAB Foul Play hits very hard on key threats, especially after the Swagger boost, and if you time your switches in well, Klefki can...

Just posting a reminder that I still have one Starter and four non-starters available for my Pokemon Y Scramble.

Ullar, take Big Baby the Gyarados. This Gyarados longs for a simpler time in its life, a time where the only things that concerned it were Splashing and Flailing about. Yes, those were the glorious days where it felt it was at the absolute peak of its glory and power. However, it understands...

I'm here request a Hard, but not impossible, XY Scramble challenge. I only have a brief list of stipulations. -I must have one, and only one, of my Mons be a starter, any of the six will do. (Chespin, Froakie, Fennekin, Charmander, Bulbasaur, or Squirtle.) -No Legendaries. -Pokemon may have...

I looked over the data, and I found that on Gimmick Riolu (yes, I realize it's a gimmick and thus isn't worth much discussion, but still), Eviolite is almost always not beneficial over Focus Sash. Riolu is OHKO'd by a large number of OU Pokemon even with Eviolite, and if Sandstorm or the like is...

To take a break from the endless back and forth of Slyveon's type, anyone else really looking forward to Parting Remark? According to Serebii, it's basically U-turn with an unknown typing that lowers an unknown stat before you switch out. I'm thinking this move will definitely see competitive...

Being in an Egg Group does not guarantee you get all the moves that that Egg Group gets. For example, Smeargle is in the ground Egg Group. This would mean Quiver Dance Blaziken. Obviously, that doesn't happen. Egg Groups are likely to be merely flavor in this case.
