Borat has a point here. The modern suspect attitude has consistently been and continues to be "ban whatever the majority of players don't like", not "ban what experienced players can prove is unhealthy for the metagame". While this approach works in a metagame where we can continually throw out...

Of course a legitimate suspect is never going to happen, just like a test against wrap in Gen 1 has been requested in the past but will never materialize. The way suspect tests work now is that the length of the test isn't really relevant to voting rights, if you hit the COIL requirement in the...

Borat do you think that GSC without snorlax would make the tier even more stally than it already is? From what limited experience I have in the tier Snorlax is one of the best ways to pressure common stall cores, without it I'm not sure if offense can really be up to par with the usual...

After a Calm Mind boost most special attacks are doing little to nothing against him. Tanky Mollux, Cyclohm, and Tomohawk fail to 2HKO after a boost, and even Stratagem and Krilowatt fail to do so after two boosts. Not to mention a solid fairy counter is that can stallbreak is so desperately...

EpicUmbreon has given me permission to work on this. While there are potentially dozens of viable Tomohawk sets, I believe dividing them up into the four main overarching sets is the best way to avoid this section becoming overly long. These four sets are a purely defensive Reflect tank, a mixed...

Colossoil is indeed one of the original CAP gods along with Tomohawk and Cyclohm, but the fact that Tomohawk exists means that it always is going to have a difficult time doing more than revenge killing Pokemon and acting as a pivot. I think it was much more infamous in early CAP becuase it was...

Umbreon if you want to work with me on this I can help you come up with some sets. Tomohawk is so easy to come up with great movesets for we could probably fill up several pages with it.

If you couldn't see within ten minutes of looking at this Pokemon that calm mind/scald/slack off/taunt is far and away the best set, I dunno what to tell ya. That doesn't mean its a bad Pokemon though, it adds a much needed switchin to Fairies and many Dragon types that isn't cripplingly weak to...

Ah yes, the classic appeal to authority response. While I appreciate your work in maintaining this list, has it occured to you that a significant portion of people responding to this thread may be basing their opinions off of their standard OU experience or theorycrafting that has very little...

For what it's worth I've played 70+ games on the no megas ladder with my current team and peaked at #2 with it. I've also watched countless ladder replays and seen what other good players are using, and I have a general sense of how the meta has shaped these past few weeks. These are some of my...

What a different meta ORAS might have turned out to be if these bans were based on freedom, justice, and "innocent until proven overpowered". Alas, while I appreciate your idealism, this is not and has never been a criminal court. Anyone can vote for any reason- or no reason at all- and there is...

Don't use: Aurumoth @ Choice Scarf Ability: Illusion EVs: 252 HP / 24 Atk / 232 Spe Jolly Nature - Final Gambit - Megahorn - Close Combat - Zen Headbutt / Trick Throwing out Final Gambit at the beginning of a match sounds good on paper, allowing you to potentially OHKO a defensive threat like...

Ah yes, the good ol' "if a pokemon has high usage it MUST be better than anything else" argument. Good thing I know that next time I need to argue that nothing beats clothes from Walmart or that McDonalds has the world's greatest cheeseburgers. Human beings are not perfectly logical, unbiased...

Top guy on the ladder right now has over 100 matches with a 4:1 win ratio and still hasn't hit the COIL requirement. I don't think I have the kind of patience to last that long but good luck to anyone who does. I'm kind of ambivalent towards Aegislash right now. If you asked me late X/Y I'd...

maybe you should get another icon for Landorus-T or something
