I love this period every gen, when they separate the sheep from the goats!

I don't know if I'm allowed to ask, but do you have any replays of Future Sight making Zarude "unwallable"? I thought Future Sight was a very crappy Gen 2 move that is pretty much never used over simply clicking Psychic two times. Finding it suddenly useful is a huge surprise to me, and I wanna...

How can something this slow and this frail with such a terrible typing be considered anything more than a nuisance to all non-stall teams? Stall is literally the only argument Hoopa-U has against it now, because it has been established that having zero counters does not necessarily make a...

Ok Hoopa Unbound Psyshock vs. Weavile: 0-0 (0 - 0%) -- aim for the horn next time (0) Also, CB Tyrantrum has zero counters in OU. None. At least a Dark Type can come in on Psyshock, or Multiscale Dragonite can come in on Psyshock. A RU Pokemon is literally more threatening than Hoopa-U.

What makes you think you need anything more than Talonflame?!? I never had a problem with Hoopa-U the way you guys are talking about. I'm "forced" to prepare my team for Hoopa-U, and any other threat, using 1 or 2 pokemon. Defensively, what answers exist to BW Hydreigon, BW Kyurem-B, Adamant...

Do to popular demand, I will list all the OU pokemon (that I use) that check non-scarfed Hoopa-U and forces it out. I never really used pursuit on showdown, and yet it's still effortless for me to put that genie back in its place. Observe: As you can see, there is no shortage of viable answers...

Basically, you're saying that Stall must be saved and checks will ever be obligated to come in on attacks? The first is understandable, but the latter is bullcrap. I already debunked that whole "no counter" thing, but yet you persist. Must I go further? Those aren't poor examples. Even the most...

This is just like Megagross. Something that isn't broken at all is being considered for ban, simply because it "restricts teambuilding", "2HKOs everything", and "we want to see how the metagame changes". I will explain why those accusations are similarly false. "It restricts teambuilding!"...

Lol I'll battle you.

With stealth rock or just a little prior damage, many things viable in OU can suddenly check MegaGross when they couldn't before. MegaGross is a pokemon that gets forced out often, mainly by Scarf Land-T which is omnipresent. Taking advantage of these switches, MegaGross becomes exponentially...

Okay, first of all, Will-O-Wisp=Neutered MegaGross. Once Meta is burned, or even before, Mew can Roost off damage and then slowly beat it to death. To give you an example: 252 Atk Tough Claws burned Mega Metagross Meteor Mash vs. 252 HP / 104+ Def Mew: 87-103 (21.5 - 25.4%) -- possible 5HKO...

You're probably right about Banded Talonflame. I use BandBird a lot, but what do I know? I was just saying, in OU, MegaGross still has a lot to fear. Landurus-T doesn't get 2HKO'd even when Intimidate fails, which is all that matters when Lando outspeeds and kills Meta or severely damages...
