Theorymon suggest:No Guard Typhlosion-With the ability No Guard, it can use Inferno, making it very hard to switch into and no-miss Foc.B is sweet. Eruption isn't directly affected but now you can't just send in your Fire resist (i.e. Azu, Gyara, Terrak etc. all fear a burn) , but bulky Fire types that can shrug off Focus Blasts and Eruption can still wall it and low acc. moves have low pp.

can I nominate someone for VR access if I see that they've made a good post or w/e? Like, I was reading the irrelevant viability ranking thread and I found a post on about 10 pokemon that I entirely agree with.

For the OU theorymon project, do you think Banette could be given Baton Pass? With it, it would be able to priority BP with priority boosting moves, namely CM and Cotton Guard. It would let Banette use prankster really well, and make it great for supporting/setting up for its teammates. For the last slot it could run taunt to prevent phazing/boosting/status or substitute because BPing subs is always nice. Thanks

Some more ideas:
Swift Swim Feraligatr
Dark Aura Mega Houndoom
Mega Launcher Lucario

Also, are there plans to revisit any of the really old ones like Aerilate Tornadus and Gale Wings Articuno?

I was thinking about, for a Theorymon, what about a Magic Guard Meganium? Sort of like Leaf Guard, but better.
It wouldn't make a huge splash on OU, but dodging residual damage from burn, poison, and hazards with a good support movepool (Synthesis + Dual Screens + Leech Seed) would allow it to switch in on things like Rotom over and over.

Heliolisk / Protean

It gets camouflage as its move so it fits imo.

Its stats are very similar to that of greninja. Less speed (BS of 109 vs 122), but a little higher Sp Atk (BS of 109 vs 103). Also even though its terrible with HP+Def it has an ok Sp Def of 94.

would take out the useless Normal typing.
Moves: Surf/V-Switch/TBolt/Thunder/GrassKnot/Dark Pulse/Focus Blast
Heck even Dragon= Dragon Tail :p

Shouldn't the regular OU Viability Rankings be updated according to post #40 in the Victory Road version?

How about fur coat pangoro? it is furry and it is actually wearing a coat! this would make it a damn good physical pivot with parting shot. Although I'm worried if that makes it too bulky since it would be bulkier than avalugg, but it gets no recovery so I guess that's fine

Since Moltres is C and tends to find a niche on rain teams, what if it got Scald? Thematically, that water is hot as hell, and from a gameplay perspective, there's not much that enjoys a water/fire/flying attack combo as only water/electric resists all 3.

Given that Raikou will be above B- when he comes into the viability rankings, Drizzle Thunderous-T is C- and follows the same sort of flavor, (where there is lightning there is a storm, where there is a storm there is rain). Also Tornadus-I doesn't seem to be on the ranking list so if that is below B- then that would trade Thunder for Hurricane and Volt Switch for U-turn. Tornadus-I causes a rain storm in pokemon B/W

Ok, This is an idea. Its kinda not OT, but here i go(Dont get mad!). Rotom is a pokemon that takes over home appliances/etc right? What if Gamefreak later introduces more if them? Not awhole lot like when they came out in platinum, but just maybe 1 or 2?

We already know that it would have levitate ( duh :p ), so the question is what rotom would it be and type/new move?

Would Metagross with Trace be an idea? It'll be a nasty check for Azumarill and Mega Mawile. Could also check Heatran without Earth Power.

Did you know Meowstic could be one of the greatest avengers in the meta? All he needs is one move: Topsy Turvy. With Prankster, Male Meowstic comes in on boosted sweepers and, with 104 speed priority Topsy Turvy, neuters the vast majority of them.

While this one does not directly fit flavor wise, it does not contradict so I'm going to throw in poison/electric weezing aka "project rotom-poison" for the ou theorymon suggestion

Prankster Mr. Mime?

Plenty of status moves to use it with (include BPing, Taunting, Trick, Dual Screens, Healing Wish), and it seems fairly in-character as well.

Durant / Magnet Bomb

Choice Banded+Hustle would make his Atk stat a whopping 783 with 90BP Steel Non Missing Move!

Hustle helps out with Faint Atk (ex: Aegislash) and aerial ace for 100% accuracy!

Just its X Scissor would be 80%

Hey, alexwolf, can I start a Next Best Thing for OU? It'll be just like last gen & I can just copy the OP from the other version, I guess.

How about Drought Florges? Finally, a defensive Drought 'mon that is also not weak to Stealth Rock! Now Florges can use that random Solarbeam, together with Moonblast and Psychic to smack stuff around, or bring something else in

Arena Trap Flygon. Beyond trapping and killing ONE thing like Dugtrio can, it can also Defog (and not risk Defiant switch-in,) and with roost it can trap and kill multiple things in a match- potentially. It still has pretty meh stats, as well as 4MSS if you want to fit in Defog+Roost. Arena Trap doesn't work on flyers, either. Arena Trap would give it a useful niche, but not make it broken.

Hey there, I was wondering if we could try steel/fairy jirachi or grass fairy celebi? I understand there is a preference in catering to defensive Pokemon and these two would really get a new lease of life with a retyping. Personally I think this would be better than doing water/fairy Milotic.

Sorry to flood but at the bottom of your wall I posted lots of theorymon suggestions, I'm not sure if you missed it or something but I'd just like some feed back plz :)

For theorymon, here are my ideas:
1.Water Shuriken Cloyster. Fits perfectly flavour-wise. This would help it against things like talonflame, heatran, etc.
2.Sheer Force Mew. This is my preferred suggestion, for obvious reasons. It kind of fits flavor-wise because mew was the original pokemon, so it's probably ancient and powerful. However, Mew is B-ranked already, so it might not get accepted.

This might be too similar to Parting Shot Scrafty, but I feel like giving Parting Shot to Krookodile might fully make it a serious alternative to Landorus-T.
