You seem to be forgetting that darkrai only has 4 move slots, and can't run nasty plot, focus blast, dark pulse, psychic, and dark void all at once, which is why darkrai isn't as deadly as you make it out to be. Sure, he's effective, but once you realize what kind of darkrai it is then its...

Does drain punch drain hp if it hits a sub? I was almost 100% sure this was not the case, but I could have sworn a roob on PO just healed after punching my sub.

Buru can't really do anything to an octo, especially once it's set up, and I have only seen 1 or 2 vaporeons on a non rain team, suicune is just rare to begin with. Even still, if you see your opponent has one of these three pokemon, make it a priority to remove them and then octo is free and clear.

I'm telling you guys, running rest in the 4th slot makes octo soooo much harder to take down. Sure he's completely walled by vaporeon and suicune, but not only are they only really found on rain teams, you also have teamviewer to spot them from a mile away. Even on teams that do carry vaporeons...

Of all the viable ban options, there are only 4 which are able to be considered broken, and even out of those only 2 are really, really broken. Inconsistent-This is simply unfair and makes for not only shitty games, but a shitty tier. Barring absolutely awful luck or an unwinnable matchup (like...

I've noticed that while Garchomp is very powerful and easily a top tier contender, it has a lot more checks than last time....or at least it SHOULD have a lot more checks than last time, but the almost omnipresent sandstorm makes the Sub-Salac set a real bitch to take down. Even revenge killers...

One thing I've been messing around with is the Tailwind+CB Aggron combo Aero Lead Jolly/focus sash 252/252 -Taunt -Stealth Rock -Stone Edge -Tailwind Start by taunting, then on your second turn (provided you aren't facing a jirachi lead which will beat you 6/10 times) either stealth rock or...

Wow....when you theorymon you really do theorymon. Thanks a ton for all that, and even though you have pointed out a lot more threats than I had found so far I still think I'm going to actually test it ingame, maybe I'll get lucky. Really lucky.

Here is something I've been theorymoning for a while, but have not yet got around to breeding ingame to test out. Note that this is for use in the Battle Hall. Battle Hall Weavile Adamant-Focus Sash 252 Att, 252 Speed, 4 Hp -Night Slash -Brick Break -Ice Punch/Fake Out/Ice Shard -Counter...

Wow, Porygon2 went from OU to #52 in UU? I wonder if Porygon2 will end up in NU?

On scarfless versions Gengar does a pretty good job of shaking things up. Zapdos also does an alright job of keeping rotom at bay, although a specs rotom hurts a lot. Heatran as you mentions does a good job but he really dislikes paralysis. Other Rotom-A's make good counters because rotom will...

Gengar has the potential to give this guy real problems. Focus Blast, although it has shoddy accuracy, is an easy 1HKO that you can only pray misses. Hypnosis has worse accuracy but deserves a mention, and after a CC Thunderbolt begins to look nice for a more accurate counter, although you need...

As both previous replies noted, it is not that Charizard lacks the potential to be a viable pokemon, it is simply that he is outclassed in all areas that are not Belly Drum. Belly Drum is rather gimmicky to begin with, and coupled with charizard's 50% loss from stealth rock you have a very...

I too have owned sheep and if i had to pick a word that described them it would be more along the lines of "retarded" instead of "scheming." As far as the discussion goes, I would consider Tail Glow to be more probable for the Mareep line seeing how Ampharos doubles as a lighthouse with its...

Suicune is naturally defensive and you are giving it max HP. If you do decide to go down a more tank-like route then your team will lack a decent special sweeper; I'd switch out weavile since he doesn't really contribute to the team that much. If you are interested in keeping the Ice thing...
