I initially voted for buff, but after reading the thread, I think I agree with nerf more, but it was a good kind of nerf that was made necessary by adding a new type into the fray. It's a little disappointing to see Pokemon like Jirachi (if someone says "but jirachi might be fairy" to this I'm...

I think I like the idea of using Gourgeist or Trevenant as a superior ghost type supporter in Trick Room to Banette. Then the Mega slot could be given to Mawile or Ampharos, who utilize the environment more effectively. I am especially fond of Mawile because it has a greater attacking stat than...

A wallbreaker set with four moves does have some nice potential with CC, Ice Punch, Crunch, and Bullet Punch. However, Nasty Plot is no where near as good as Swords Dance on Lucario. It might surprise your opponent at first, but given that Lucario's special movepool isn't as strong BP wise as...

That's rough buddy. Well, cool that you got a shiny one of course, but it would have been more awesome if you got one with Protean (and good Nature for good measure). Torrent has never been a great ability because it's hard to make use of it. But you enjoy that shiny froggy regardless. I'm sure...

It makes for somewhat reliable recovery sure, but I think Conkeldurr and to a lesser extent Scrafty pull this strategy off so much better because of their stat distribution. They have the bulk to take hits and appreciate the recovery. Lucario is a delicate little steel butterfly that wins by...

You sure about that? According to Bulbapedia's description of the move, "Individual brackets are still maintained; moves in higher priority brackets still work before moves in lower ones regardless of Trick Room." Also, you need to use the edit button if you have more to say. Multi-posting is...

I'm terribly superstitious about High Jump Kick on Lucario, because he's already frail enough, even Mega Evolved. Missing that hit, losing health, and allowing the opponent to get a move in could cost you your Lucario. A possible 2HKO on Skarmory doesn't really mean so much that I would risk...

Speaking of Mega Pokemon, Banette gets Trick Room. Mega Banette has Prankster...so...Trick Room Banette anyone? Banette @ Banettite Ability: Insomnia (Prankster) Nature: Relaxed EVs: 252 HP, 252 Defense, 4 Attack | IVs: 0 Spe - Trick Room - Will-O-Wisp/Toxic/Taunt - Return/Taunt - Shadow...

Dig? Sky Attack? Those are moves people use on Gliscor? I'd use Protect and Substitute, but if I really need it to attack instead of protect, just give it Earthquake... Unless I missed something and charge up moves are suddenly viable. I just don't think that they work like a Protect like you...

When I made this thread it got locked without anybody giving a reason why. Sure. I still like the idea of it and would like somewhere to simulate the environment. I keep thinking about how awesome Sawsbuck would be in this tier for having Normal/Grass STAB.

Already knew that. Thanks. I was just saying that if one were to need a good defensive Fire type for the resistances it offers (especially for the possible rise of Steel attacks and Fairy attacks), Rotom-H would be a good choice.

Stealth Rock is definitely still an issue for these guys, but a lot of Pokemon put up with Stealth Rock and still function in the meta (see Volcarona). Even so, I think only Fire types with a complimentary secondary typing will have a commonplace use. Heatran has been mentioned, who happens to...

Just watch that poll pull forward for the 100 club... Honestly, why not both? If we need to cater to people who want to play with Wi-Fi rules, like to test a team they want to make for actual Wi-Fi play or something, then we can. But don't shut out the people who want to use level 100s. I...

I voted for level 100. I don't have anything particular to say for it that people already haven't. The way I and many people understand stats hangs on that level 100 standard. We'd be basically cutting all the Pokemon off at half of their full potential by down leveling them to level 50. To heck...

It really depends on who is getting it. If it's only the electric mice, unfortunately it isn't going to be seen a lot in the common meta. BUT, if it's a choice between Thunder Wave and Nuzzle on a particular moveset, I think it would be foolhardy to go with Thunder Wave over it. It would bypass...
