Ehhh I think it's kinda underrated. I use a Rattled Choice Band set that aims at getting the most coverage; coverage that actually gives it a decent niche. Play Rough/Earthquake/Crunch/Close Combat/Ice Punch/Fire Punch, with the latter four being switchable according to your team's coverage...

Ahhh... Swalot got a nice boost. However, it always liked recovery with Black Sludge as it's supposed to act as a bulky special attacker with utility. I'm not sure how it would help him much, maybe for a confirmed kill I guess. Seviper has the special attack to take advantage of this, it could...

It's very possible that Clefable could be OU material. If so, Slurpuff has a chance to be in UU. I think it has more potential than Aromatisse because it at least has a good ability.

Things are looking good for Exploud right now. I could see it crawl out of the NU depths and make some noise somewhere in UU or RU. A speed boost/quiver dance/shell smash baton pass is all it needs to sweep big time. Although I wonder, why not use Life Orb instead of Specs? If it gets the...

Unless I'm mistaken, Scyther can learn Bug Bite last gen since I used him in RU. Why can't Scizor learn it then?

Idk, I have high hopes for this thing. It appears to be an excellent Special Tank that can hit back as well, with an amazing defensive typing that synergizes quite well. Good moveset as well. It could act as a tank with an air balloon, perhaps. Choice Specs user to give it some punch. It could...

Mind games with Kangaskhan will be key, the first turn when it switches in will force the opponent to guess what they're dealing with. Its normal form is not too shabby honestly. A sub set could work well with it. Sub/Power-Up Punch/Return/Earthquake Power-Up punch I think is more necessary...

On the bright side, Vivillon might be good enough to move up to RU, maybe even beyond. So Butterfree can roam around in NU. It pretty much has the perfect stats for the Early Bug type as well as great movepool and great abilities. We'll see, but I won't lie in saying that I'm excited for its...

I still don't get it. It seems to me like classic GameFreak troll logic. An assassin (ninja) dark type frog doesn't get Nasty Plot, but a dopey pokemon like Chatot gets it? Hell even Infernape, another starter, gets it. I just don't get it. Anyway... I could see Greninja as a nice specs user...

Mega Pinsir is awesome. It's basically Scyther with all the right stuff to make an amazing versatile physical attacker. Megahorn, great flying moves, earthquake... So many moves with I'm guessing decent speed and amazing attack Also Mega Houndoom, dear god.

How about Greninja with Rapid Spin? Fastest spinner from the looks of it. Not only that, since it's dark it'll ward off any ghosts/spinblockers trying to stop it. And with Ghosts seemingly getting better this gen, this could be key. With Nasty Plot and Taunt as well, it could setup in all...

Okay, I tried Blastoise and realized "Wow, for what reason didn't I add him in?" Then I remembered... Milotic was a status absorber and didn't mind at all sleep inducers. I definitely think Blastoise is more useful though and I think it's a permanent addition. I gave Blastoise toxic since Ice...

If anything, Swampert will get more usage than Quagsire. But I guess you're right, I may need some more coverage. I'll try out Roserade and then Ferroseed, and see if they work any better than Aerodactyl, which I like for taunt and Stealth Rocks I would like some more suggestions for my water...

Shameful bump.

Solid team you have here! I'm not the best at advice (first time giving it), however I do notice you could use some help. Replace Kabutops with Slowking. Not only is it a better water type for your team, it gives a much needed special wall vs the fire types that might harass your team. And...
