Except that none of the mons you mentioned are defensive which is what we have a lack of in UU and also means that Chansey is easier to react to since it won't come in and threaten to OHKO something...

I agree with this viewpoint. If your team can't handle Chansey then change your team, Chansey is not a mon that requires a specific counter there's lots of things you can do. Off the top of my head...

Well, you said you'd get back to my post about Zoroark but you didn't :P so I'll say it again.

In the UU metagame as defined on this site, Zoroark is slower than 18 other mons which decreases to...

I agree with you about that, I just wanted to note that Psychic attacks are at least in my experience not very common (I do believe they could be on the rise though, it's just a matter of how players...

I strongly disagree with Zoroark being B rank.

1) You need to give it a focus sash and keep the field free from hazards if you want it to survive more than one hit from just about anything....

But why? are you going to snatch a SD, a NP, a Calm Mind? a Sub? what? you already have these moves.

The problem with snatching stuff like Cloyster's shell break is that you'll most likely need to switch in. If he then switches out or if he can KO you before you KO him, the advantage is with him. If...

Such a late-game Nasty Plot sweeper is exactly what I do with a Ghost-type that varies between Gengar and Desukan. Combined with a focus sash, even their counter to your +2 Zoroark is in for at least...

It's still not worth it though. You trade 5 less accuracy for 5 more base power, I would consider 20% chance to flinch more valuable than 40% chance to make your opponent have a bit less accuracy....

Because Parasect is the most underrated pokemon on my current team I must nominate the guy, he has had a shockingly good performance (+ I like his cry).

I make it a priority to remove hazards, it's very important for the rest of my team anyway (Ulgamoth and Parasect don't like the stuff either). As it usually grants me an extra turn I prefer it over...

I'd use Escavalier with a CB though substitute + 3 attacks works too. Whatever they bring in will likely be able to OHKO you so I think it's safer to not boost up and just go for it, Scizor does...

Hmm... T-wave + Drain Punch + Shadow Sneak + Bulk Up looks good on paper but I think you lose too much coverage. Fighting + Ghost may be unresisted but there's plenty of stuff that won't mind getting...
