  1. XY OU Neo-Stall (1 on Showdown, 6 on Pokemon Online ) by Porii Sames and Chomp29

    If you read the introduction or even the set descriptions you would understand why there are 7 Pokemon at the top. I fail to see how that post contributes in any way. Unless you are joking of course, in which case props. Also @ Zamrock, the main reason Clefable is on the team > Slowbro is...
  2. XY OU Neo-Stall (1 on Showdown, 6 on Pokemon Online ) by Porii Sames and Chomp29

    Thank you my father. I shall try the counter Skarm since you gave fairly good reasoning for it (even though I'm not a fan of not having a reliable attacking move on any mon). Yes the team was more fun back then with spite Dusclops lol, but in the end it ended up being quite good so whatever...
  3. Other XY OU Viability Ranking Thread (V2) (Last update on post #5189)

    Azumarill cannot switch in as it does get 2HKOd by Rock Blast, but the point remains that it means Heracross cannot come in on an Azumarill and threaten an OHKO, like it could otherwise. Rotom-W does not get 2HKOd by Pin Missile because it out-speed Heracross and will burn it with Wil-O-Wisp...
  4. Other XY OU Viability Ranking Thread (V2) (Last update on post #5189)

    I'm not even going to bother replying to your first point about Bullet Seed, as your justification for not running Bullet Seed was "its trash." If you actually post legitimate reasoning for why it's trash then I will Respond, but you should not expect people to care about what you have to say...

    Not sure where I ever said low usage makes a Pokemon bad, in fact in the same post you just quoted, I asserted that Max Def Gliscor was good, and that a few people still ran it. Max Def Gliscor is no where near the most common set used... I said and I quote: "SD Heracross really is not very...
  6. Other XY OU Viability Ranking Thread (V2) (Last update on post #5189)

    You are correct that SD Heracross does beat Gliscor, but the fact remains that SD Heracross really is not very good or very common compared to his other sets (refer to usage stats/month for my point on its commonality). The simple fact is, M-Hera is a wall-breaker, not a sweeper, it has 75 base...
  7. Other XY OU Viability Ranking Thread (V2) (Last update on post #5189)

    I don't agree with this in any way. Terrakion's best sets are the choiced ones, namely choice band. You mention that there are "too many things to switch into one of its moves and force it out," but you don't actually mention any. The offensive threats you mentioned either get OHKOd (Greninja...
  8. XY OU Neo-Stall (1 on Showdown, 6 on Pokemon Online ) by Porii Sames and Chomp29

    1840 was not #1 on the ladder, 2018 was...that's what it says on his post, it says that 1840 was 55 on the ladder. Also hi, I'm Chomp29, I hit #1 with 2018 with this team under the alt chompon29tangelos. Also I will be putting my version of this team with descriptions later today. Not...
  9. Baton Pass - its role in the metagame and possible solutions to nerf full Baton Pass chains

    I'm not seeing what the problem here is. Baton Pass is CLEARLY not broken outside of full Baton Pass chains. If your team is not prepared to deal with a 3 or less Baton Pass chain, then you need to change your team, because it is incredibly easy to do so. To nerf the insanly...
  10. Baton Pass - its role in the metagame and possible solutions to nerf full Baton Pass chains

    A 3 Baton Pass chain is very easy to deal with for virtually every team. Espeon + Scol/Ninjask + One more user is not that threatening, because you can't have all the elements you need such as multiple defense boosters of different types, Mr. Mime for Roar/Perish Songs (Roar users Espeon can't...
  11. Baton Pass - its role in the metagame and possible solutions to nerf full Baton Pass chains

    This is the exact kind of thinking that is needed in order to maintain a balanced tier. You are absolutely correct that Baton Pass is beatable in a number of different ways, and not all of them STRICTLY beat Baton Pass. The key point here is the "whilst still remaining viable against...
  12. Baton Pass - its role in the metagame and possible solutions to nerf full Baton Pass chains

    Full Baton Pass chains are extremely unhealthy for the meta-game for a number of reasons. I believe that it not only takes very little skill to use effectively, but significantly more importantly, it severely restrains certain kinds of teams from being created, simply because you MUST have...
  13. OU Balanced Sand (Peak at 2014)

    Thanks to all for the rates! @Alexander You are most certainly right that entry hazards (mainly SR can be annoying to a team with no spinner and only packing one SR resistance. Tho toxic spikes really are not an issue at al as 4 pokemon are perma-immune, and one is equipped with a lum berry...
  14. OU Balanced Sand (Peak at 2014)

    Greetings Smogon! This is DartMonkey29 (or as the majority of you know me Chomp29) posting an RMT of the team I used to hit #13 on Pokemon Showdown (2014). The team easily has potential to hit #1 however in the hands of someone more dedicated. As I went 50-8 with this team, a lot more games...
  15. Xatu

    Thanks for the HP Fire thing, also, yes, 4 spD actually does help give Xatu an increased chance at not being 2HKO'D by certain attacks. I would prefer not to go in detail about this atm, but at the same time, 4 speed doesn't push xatu past any significant speed tier since there are not very...

    Aight im making progress sorry about that
  17. Weather-less-Semi-Stall

    Well, ordinarily that would be the case. But since I invest so little in special attacks, and do not have a life orb or choice specs equipped, my Psyshock is doing about 24% on average to 4/252 Bold Chansey. This is more than psychic does, but not enough to justify the power loss. Especially...
  18. Weather-less-Semi-Stall

    Thanks for rating! Yes when Chansey goes down problems to pop up. Most importantly Genesect. If you play right, you shouldn't let Chansey die early game. Ofc if you do lose it, it's not totally over, Dnite can deal with it pretty solidly, as gene cant OHKO till multi scale is borked...
