hey man. that mightyena set you posted in the ru viability thread is legit awesome. thank you!

so hey guys lumineon is .. still a fucking terrible pokemon but it can defog and set up tailwind and burn things with drain boosted scalds fully spdef can take a couple neutral hits like, literally two also completely outclassed by pelipper aside from non sr weak no recovery ;_; why did...

jesus christ man. you are the truth. this team is really cool btw.

xy nu! so juiced!! been playing ru a ton lately and this tier looks like it's going to be super fun. once the meta develops and a few op mons are bumped up i think it will be very balanced and reward creative teambuilding.

anyone know some good checks to cobalion? does anything hard counter it? i'm seeing a ton of this thing on the ladder recently, and it can be tricky to play around since it has so many options.

awesome to see people still utilizing av hariyama after posting up a blurb on him a while back. he needs the right team around him to shine (use him to patch up holes as a pivot) but is still pretty cool. definitely not going to make a huge impact and he can be played around easily but just a...

on the mismagius topic; this is pretty non standard but has anyone thought of trying hex with a t-spikes or status spamming team? without status spread you lose out on 15 bp vs shadow ball, and the lack of potential spef drops hurts. however a base 130 stab move (195) that's 100% accurate could...

i'm not surprised to see shaymin go, it was hard for me to make teams *without* him since he was such a useful weapon (the lo/rest/nat cure set, plus seed flare is just fire at will). raikou wasn't nescessarily op but did show up on just about every damn team. milo was also a really common sight...

true, true. there are some really solid ones running around. i still don't see psychic as being the dominant offensive force in the tier though. many of those pokes are mostly used more defensively or in a utility role (not to diminish their overall impact, and obiously cm sets are trouble...

definitely .. also considering knock off has discouraged psychics and not everything carries eq. it's a good utility and intimidate is always nice.

really stating the incredibly obvious here but status is so good in this meta. like way too good. like every team is carrying a bunch of status around and yet no one wants to waste a moveslot on heal bell / aroma. i've seen a few miltanks / various clerics running around but it's kind of rare...

ouch lol. you could make use of pyroar (not with this set) but other pokes do what it does a lot better. at least wait for nu, it might be easier to make it work in a softer meta. you might be able to make use of the ghost immunity idk. if only it got a useful ability ..

yeah, i've thought of that as well. i was using cc to just hammer things when a strong accurate stab is called for then switching out (since he generally moves last anyway). usually he's trying to counter frail offensive stuff that will die to a cc (hazards help) so it's not crucial as your...

so i just wanted to post a note on hariyama. that thing is actually pretty decent in this meta. still don't have a certified best set for him but he's been putting in some work for me recently. with assault vest and hp/atk/sdef investment this dude can soak up a lot of stuff and hammer it back...
