    Drought is banned in UU and NU, correct?

    That and it probably can't handle a Meta with SpDef Toxapex, Celesteela, AV Magearna, Tyranitar and Ash-Greninja running around.

    Data Usage-Based Tier Update for January 2018 (Feb @ #263) (Mar @ #696)

    I think the best comparison to this Landorus-T situation is the suspect test that RU had for Mega-Steelix and possibly Salamence in UU during ORAS. Where while it wasn't an offensive or defensive terror it was decided that it's overbearing presence stifled diversity and the viability of many...

    Smogon Usage-Based Tier Update: August 2016

    So much for RU getting Haxorus, Goodra and Cloyster. Still having Slurpuff back will be an interesting twist. And now NU has Gurdurr back so now we can debate whose the best fighting type again.

    RU will likely lose Tangrowth but will likely get Shaymin. I'm a bit mixed, on the one hand as an offensive Grass type goes Shaymin is better and while not as bulky I can see it doing well with a defensive spread. It might fill Tangrowth's role while doing better in some offensive sets thanks...

    Metagame np: NU Stage 14 - City Escape (Baton Pass + Speed Boosts BANNED)

    Personally I can understand banning Speed Boost plus Baton Pass, as it's generally very safe and an easy strategy to fit, use, and pull off, but I have some qualms about Agility/Polish Passing. The thing that makes Speed Boost so good is that the poke can just sit safely behind a Protect wall...

    Smogon Usage-Based Tier Update: February 2016

    STAB Bravebird, Pursuit, and Sucker Punch coming from a base 125 Attack stat is scary enough as many of the standard can't come in it. But with a 105 Sp.Att stat and access to Heat Wave Honch is even able to punish Mega Steelix switch-ins without having to resort to Superpower. In fact as of...

    So my cousin wants to use a team centering around Megavoir, so I built him this: http://hastebin.com/genukopuva.md Is there anything that I should change to improve this team?

    Outside of the subroosts sets, I don't see any reason why Moltres would not have Flame Body. As for Zapdos I'm going to guess that it can't have Static and Defog at the same time, so unless you're running a pure attacking set pressure will likely still be the norm.

    Hey I can guess that this has been asked before but have any of the old Custom Abilities been changed since their conceptions? Namely Rebound since some swear that it now bounces Defog.

    There is no way Manitne is going to drop. Way too popular now with Steelix back in the tier.
