Gliscor is definitely something that would make sense in that position, thank you! That also helps out with the Electric weakness a lot. I will also work on a possible bulky steel type to replace Zapdos or Skarmory. Honestly, though, the electric weakness is well handled by Florges since nearly...

Florges sponges all electric attacks with ease, and Skarmory or Blastoise can take pretty much any rock attack. I have also been considering switching over to a more specially defensive Zapdos so as to have more answers to Electric moves. If you could be sliiiightly more constructive in your...

This here is a team that I've been working on slowly for the past week or two since I started playing Gen 6. I've been pretty much checked out of being actually good at competitive battling since Gen 3, so I figured I'd give it another shot by keeping up with the trends from the beginning this...

I was literally JUST coming into this thread to theorymon this as you posted this. Rest would be necessary on a Curse set, leaving only two more moveslots. I was thinking Infestation would be a good way to wrack up some passive damage and also prevent switching out once your opponent realizes...

I am almost 100% certain that moves like Protect/Detect's success rate still falls if you used a similar move the previous turn, to prevent exactly this kind of thing from working.

Just saying such a wide array of pokemon shouldn't have to be removed for your wall to come in. Walls should be able to come in on basically anything, or at least a lot on one side of the spectrum. If your defensive pokemon is destroyed by half the opponent's team, it doesn't help you out that much.

Team preview, is the difference. Yes, many players won't simply sacrifice their weather-inducer first turn because they don't see an opposing one on the opponent's team. However, with team preview, people DO tend to be less careful with their inducer. Generally, you wouldn't reveal Hail until...

I feel like it is FAR too early in this metagame to be discussing banning weather. We are all still very heavily in a gen4 mindset, whether we want to think we are or not. Any big decisions we make now will likely be biased because of our opinion of the gen4 metagame, subconsciously or...

An excellent warstory, your thought process was certainly described very well. But I agree with THB from the previous page; sometimes the paragraph on every move was unnecessary. Yes, on plenty of turns, it was helpful and definitely the best choice. However, don't think that you need to post so...

I love this warstory simply for the Hail Tentacruel. Tentacruel is an excellent choice for changing the weather too, as the only weather sweeper who could KO it right off the bat is Dory, but you could probably handle him with either Breloom or Scizor. And people are always reckless with their...

The set with Disable posted earlier, Sub/Disable/Shadow Ball/Focus Blast is actually doing phenomenally on my team. Teams not prepared for it can be ripped apart, and it makes some pokemon completely unable to touch Gengar. Generally, Gengar will switch in either after a kill or on one of its...

That would be changing game mechanics, which we aren't doing. This is impossible to simulate on the cartridges, which actually are a major venue of play for many, therefore it is not a valid argument. Either Inconsistent gets banned, or we deal with possible evasion increases.

When is an RMT expected to be made, seeing as now have a banlist and an official server? While the metagame is still in it's infancy, we have the basics of a game enough to start a RMT I believe.

This. It doesn't even make sense that it doesn't get claw sharpen. It's a rat, why wouldn't it have it! At first when I saw Hustle I thought it'd be pretty cool with claw sharpen, but seeing as it somehow manages to not get it, Raticate is once again probably going to be stuck in barely-even-NU.

I don't really see Blissey as havoc-causing at any time. She's a wall, she can't really do much offensively. Plus, you've just gotten a look at her moveset, so you know what you can freely bring in. Does it have toxic? Bring in a steel type. T-wave? Bring in a ground type or another electric...
