Sorry to bother you guys, there is small bug with teambuilder incorrectly displaying remaining ev's (it sometimes displays 2 less remaining than actual, leading to a potential 1 point stat drop). Here is proof: Its in the sp def stat before and after. Edit: okay I realized its because I had...

Why can't I find a stats discussion thread? Back when I last checked (in 2012) there used to be tens, if not hundreds of people anticipating and discussing usage stats, discussing the surprises and trends in the data.

But Lando-T is S-rank??? I'm not arguing for Mega Chomp to be S rank, I'm arguing for B ffs. And my garchomp may not pose a threat to lando, but lando doesn't pose a threat to my garchomp either.

Garchomp (Mega) C -> B- Mega-Garchomp is really overlooked due to the fact that its speed drop and ability are perceived as a death sentence, but this is really not the case. For the last 6 months I have consistently been having fantastic success with Garchomp as a lead stealth rocker...

Hyper offense. I've used M-Swampert in 100+ games and Kabutops for 500+ and kabutops is so much better at nuking threats. Mega Swampert is good at everything but great at nothing. As a defensive stealth rocker it is severely outclassed by pokemon such as ferrothorn and Mega-Garchomp (no troll)...

Kabutops getting liquidation needs more attention, the move solidifies its role as a frightning wallbreaker and makes it more difficult to switch into.

I think Mega Swampert does have good role compression of being a rock setter, switch in tank, and decent offensive power, however while it does all of these well, it doesn't do anything brilliantly. I was perhaps a little narrow sighted in downplaying Mega Swampert's bulk and crucial electric...

A thing that bothers me is that YOU are always looking in a 1vs1situation and forgetting that you the player have 5 more pokemon! I don't run the standard noob rain team, my hybrid sand/rain is what got me to top 100 in ladder (note that sand also gives kabutops 50% special defense but not...

1) Yes, Mega Swampert has better bulk and defensive typing for better switch ins, this is true. 2) Ice punch has only 75 power so I find it pretty useless, especially because most ice weak types such as Zygarde, Landorus and Tangrowth are PHYSICAL walls. Against the specific core of Zygarde +...

Anybody thinking that Kabutops is C or UR is absolutely out of their mind, and I would go as far as to say it is completely superior to Mega Swampert. NOTE THAT I HAVE EXTENSIVELY USED BOTH, SO UNLIKE 99% OF YOU I CAN MAKE AN INFORMED OPINION. If it helps I am 1850 elo on ladder, which makes me...

Someone please give me a logical explanation as to why Mew was B- in January and is now A+?? And if Mew's typing is so defensively good now then why isn't Necrozma also getting a ranking boost? Also.......... has anyone here actually even used Hippowdon before? It's basically a Skarmory with...

People who keep complaining about certain rankings should realize that just because a pokemon keeps walling/sweeping your team it doesn't mean it has that effect on others. You have little right to make judgement unless you consistently play with 5+ varied teams.

Lets ask ourselves the real question here- is game more enjoyable without phero in the tier? From a week playing the suspect test, I can honestly say no- it doesn't make much of a difference at all. I've never been swept by a phero in the past and the metagame doesn't feel very different...

I'm really disappointed in both myself and smogon analysis. At myself for not knowing about the item called zoom lens, and at smogon for NOT recommending it on a SINGLE pokemon set in the entire game. It could be extremely helpful on a number of slow pokemon, eg it would make ferrothorn's...

I'm getting really annoyed at the lack of variety in teams right now. At least 50% of all teams have Landorus T + scarfed Tapu Lele and its getting pretty boring. If this continues will action be taken? I think it would be necessary to maintain healthy variety.

ffs man, smogon isn't letting me use my Ash-Greninja, what's it playing at...
