    Ladder Balanced Hackmons

    Scarfed Deoxys doesn't even really need Prankster to pull that off unless the opposing lead is prankster, and in that case Magic Bounce is probably the better ability to have since it completely negates most of what an opposing prankster could do to stop you.

    Run 248 HP / 100 SpDef EVs if Timid on your Kyu-W instead, since that still guarantees a OHKO against the Imposter Chansey and maximizes your bulk against other things (248 HP is for SR, Curse, and other indirect damage). For Modest, you can run up to 204 EVs in SpDef. 252+ SpA Sniper Kyurem-W...

    Hackmons XY

    In general, I'd recommend Knock Off or Beat Up. Aside from having enough power to KO Deo-S every time, Knock Off can remove items from other things like Giratina. Since Deo can and do run sash though, you'll want a priority move to finish off Deoxys (the sash will unfortunately trigger before...

    Groudon's still going to be incredibly sad about his lack of strong priority, and I'm more worried that this will just make Xerneas and Kyurem-B stronger. To add injury to the insult of stealing this nifty move, KyuB is probably singlehandedly going to prevent a major resurgence of Ground type...

    Well Serebii says 30% and I really hope it's not even more obnoxious than Scald (though that 5 base PP will probably hurt its usage for defensive mons). Thousand Arrows seems ridiculous though. Levitate will probably become a completely irrelevant ability in BH once that is in (and being a...

    Hackmons XY

    Yeah, reducing your Lugia's HP by one will make your HP not divisible by 4 or other even numbers that are relevant for things like sub, status ailments, hazards, and damaging weather. Being able to survive with a smidgen of HP is better than nothing and has definitely helped in winning some...

    Hackmons XY

    I've used Klutzvest, and it's pretty great at crippling stall mons as you mentioned. However, you have to be pretty careful with your knock off usage afterwards so you don't uncripple your target. Also, if you mispredict and end up giving AV to a pivot with u-turn/volt switch you've made your...

    Pixilate Boomburst hits harder, ignores subs, and gives the option for Fairy-type priority in Espeed+Fake Out. Magic Guard Xerneas would hit harder with its recoil-based coverage moves though, when compared with Pixilate's usual coverage options.

    Adaptability would be better since the opponent's dark attacks wouldn't also be boosted against you (small bonus, but M-Absol's high attack means it won't like taking Foul Play). It also seems to do slightly more to an opponent. Using neutral defense Arceus for these calcs: 252+ Atk Dread Plate...

    It's probably just never been decided whether multiple stone mega evolutions can occur, so we've been using the default behavior. I'm not sure if the "level" of hacking present in BH would allow for multiple stone evolutions in battle though, since the extent of what's allowed in hackmons is...

    Pokémon Aegislash

    In order for Stance Change to take effect, Aegislash's user only needs to be able to select the move that will change its form. Regardless of whether Aegis actually executes the move (failing to move due to sleep, full para, self hit in confusion, infatuated, etc.), the forme will change when...

    Ah, thanks for the quick fix! I also noticed Air Cutter was missing while doing calcs for Fail Cup shenanigans. Also, the Foresight/Odor Sleuth addition reminded me that Miracle Eye exists.

    Stored Power retains 20 BP regardless of how many boosts are entered. Trying to set it manually doesn't let you go over 250 either (and the manual entry won't override the 20BP calculation anyway, unless you change to a different attack and modify that). There should probably be fields for the...

    Ladder Balanced Hackmons

    Taunt is a viable option over stealth rock, since that can actually help beat things that avoid a OHKO (also quite useful against Magic Bounce once you've mega evolved). As for your set as provided, some calcs: 252+ Atk Mega Gyarados Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Heatran: 380-448 (98.4 -...

    Actually, an Unaware wouldn't be able to stand up to a stored power with that many boosts behind it (especially after the hazards), even if the sweeper wasn't Mold Breaker, unless it was a dark type. The BP of Stored Power (which Unaware won't reduce) with +6 across the board is 860, and not...
