  1. OU Kingdra

    Should be Mega Venusaur, instead of just Venusaur, when talking about Outrage in the moves section. That's my bad. Thanks TRC.
  2. OU Kingdra

    Meant to get this in before your 3rd QC check, but I was busy all day yesterday. I also wanted to wait for it to get out of skeleton format, still sorry it's after your first GP check. Just some input on the moves section for rain kingdra: "However, Outrage can be used mainly as a strong...
  3. OU Kingdra

    You forgot life orb in your calculation. Here are the correct calculations. 80 Atk Life Orb Kingdra Waterfall vs. 244 HP / 252+ Def Sylveon in Rain: 165-195 (42 - 49.7%) -- 31.3% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery 252+ SpA Life Orb Kingdra Surf vs. 244 HP / 0 SpD Sylveon...
  4. Other XY OU Viability Ranking Thread (B- and C+ Pokemon discussion)

    No Mew? The Defog set from the working analysis is extremely good, and if you are using your Mega-Slot for something other than Mega Scizor you'll be hard pressed to find a better Defensive Defoger. Hazard Control ######## name: Hazard Control move 1: Defog move 2: Stealth Rock move 3...
  5. OU Kingdra

    Set looks great Jukain, well done with the slashes. I don't think I'll ever board the hydro pump train, but I am also physically unable to gamble at a casino so I guess I just don't like taking risks ;) Kingdra is not a commonly used pokemon, so I'm unsure about maxing speed on the rain dance...
  6. Rain Offense (1800+)

    Hello. Unsure of whether or not you're still looking for rates, but I have a lot of experience with Kingdra rain teams so I thought I'd give it a go. I have some small changes in mind that I'd like to suggest. Let me know if you're not a fan, because I do have a few other ideas if you're...
  7. OU Kingdra

    I'm glad my play testing with Kingdra has gone to good use. Thanks for hearing me out QC. I don't feel too strongly about how the moves are listed, but still here are my thoughts on the move slashes: I quickly removed Rain Dance from my Kingdra, 75/95/95 un-invested defenses leave a lot to be...
  8. OU Kingdra

    With respect, I don't see how Mixdra is not worth it. It's ability to do something to Chansey and Blissey, which otherwise wall it cold is a great advantage. In addition it has other advantages over special kingdra which I will outline in the following. But first, my point on chansey. I...
  9. OU Kingdra

    I realize this is still heavily WIP, but since the rain set seems mostly done I thought I'd get my thoughts in early. Firstly, I don't agree with having Rain Dance as a stand alone 4th move with no slash. While Rain Dance on Kingdra certainly has its merits, you are not always going to want to...
  10. HELP! My Rain Team WIN in the OU

    As a recent rain aficionado I'd like to help out. I feel like your team has a strong group of rain abusers. I like the Kabutops/Manaphy/Scizor-M trio a lot. However, I do see a problem that I've run into in the past with rain teams. You seem pretty weak to Genesect, especially before rain is...
  11. Heracross

    Unaware Clefable most always runs wish protect. So assuming Clefable protects the first run it is able, followed by wish or moonblast, Clefable will have a better chance than that of surviving. Unless I'm forgetting something Hera would need to crit without SR and would need to do 100% total...
  12. Hydreigon [QC 3/3] [GP 0/2]

    Earth Power would be for Heatran. It's everywhere and while the most annoying thing most Heatran will be doing to you will be either to toxic or roar you out, it's nice to have a solution to it. (only 11% of heatran with HP Ice and 6% with D-pulse in December Statistics) As for your second...
  13. Other Good Cores

    Chesto rest works, to each his or her own. I'd say no for investing in attack evs. It's a physical wall that parashuffles. You really want to maximize your bulk. Earthquake is just really great for hitting with a super effective stab. 252/252+ defenses also really helps you be a physical...
  14. Other Good Cores

    I've used the Zygarde set mentioned, and I personally prefer lefties and earthquake over chesto or sleep talk. Although, the chesto berry with earthquake is a close second, I liked using a hard rest when absolutely necessary with heal bell support. A glare/dragon tail set doesn't work very as...
  15. Hydreigon [QC 3/3] [GP 0/2]

    I agree that Flash Cannon doesn't hit that hard. It just does a couple things for the set: 176+ SpA Hydreigon Flash Cannon vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Togekiss: 158-186 (42.2 - 49.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery 176+ SpA Hydreigon Flash Cannon vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD...
