Levitate Metagross One of my only gripes about Gen VI was because one of the few non-draconic and coolest looking pseudo-legends got no love. :c

Well, I did note that the item slot and Discharge were open to change, I just haven't used Chesto Rest much. That said, I'd be more curious about other aspects of the build. I know some of the positives, but there may be some major negatives that outweigh the strengths I posted. I'm starting to...

The issue is that one of those two resists is an immunity. While Normal types aren't terribly common, they are out there. Smeargle will set up to its heart's content and Porygon2 will gladly trade a Burn for Prankster. Many Porygon2 sets run Toxic, so even DBond isn't helpful (fainting due to...

I've been pleased with Magic Coat lately. I do miss the consistency of TWave and Toxic at times, but reflection everything from those two to hazards, and all the status moves in between (Dark Void was especially amusing combined with Trace) really sets it apart. The main thing is the surprise...

As said above, if you cared to play legitimately at all, you'd realize that breeding is EASY this Gen. Your "excuses" are really running out at this point. "Protip": Pros who come with things illegitimately obtained often become non-pros when they actually get caught, or the rules no longer...

In my experience with Noivern (wi-fi, so I guess take this with a grain of salt) I've found it to be a decent sweep up pokemon. If I use it too early, it tends to not quite cut it (which is the impression I'm getting here) but later on when the enemy is a little more worn and/or their bulkier...

I've heard this a few times and indeed, it's fairly rare that the predictability of subseed doesn't screw it...

What kills him is predictability. I basically walled a team with the puff ball because they mispredicted and didn't have anything immune to leech seed... With Thundurus gone, his most solid counter is also gone. Not say he's amazing, but he can really screw with people. He can REALLY be a middle...

-sigh- Damn... GF needs to come out with an alternation to that move... (rapid spin, that is)

A lot of perspectives to note on the banning thing -.-. A lot of the perspectives would say it "isn't that bad". I'm thinking the whole ban-happy idea comes from many feeling that some bans were unnecessary combined with the different things people WANT bans for and the fact that it's early in...

Things like Thundurus kept things fast. This is a predictable result of such bans. Stall isn't hard to exploit, use Prankster taunt >.>... also, interestingly, BP can exploit stall... -thinks for a moment- shit... I really hope this isn't going to go where I think it's going to go... -Stall...

I'm sorry, that terminology was personally misplaced. That was more descriptive of of the mon, more specifically, my personal use of it. I apologize for that and will edit accordingly. As for how I see it... ehhh that's kind of why I said the part AFTER that. I didn't get high on the ladders...

I wished I could have abused the likes of Blaze myself XD. Anyway, pooling your Volca thing with general Sun concerns. As has been stated, speed abusers don't get the free SE boost on their STABs (since only grass types get that) so it isn't as dangerous as SSwim was. Drill's typing was useful...

That's why I called it a tangent. I wasn't saying they were checks or anything related to him, I was saying they, like Golurk and Claydol, were cool pokes who kinda got screwed over from the start. I've always loved the Regis and hope GF gives them some attention in the buffing department. The...

Claydol... Golurk... all 4 of the Regis... awesome designs, theoretically good concepts... whether it's movepool or stats, they're fairly disappointing (I would LOVE to use the Regis...), hopefully they're given some help in time -_- How much would Gyro Ball help Registeel? Pointless wishes...
