Is that wall of text a joke? You said noone had a good argument without responding to mine, and then when I raise it you think I'm the snide one? MegaKang is so overcentralizing that the best pokemon against it are currently underused? It's so good that people aren't using the best pokes...

Being a check doesn't mean that it can swap in with impunity and threaten, there are way more soft checks to MegaKangaskhan than what you list. I went over this in my original post. You can swap Gengar into PuP/Return. If they predict the Gengar coming in and Crunch you can swap in Terrakion...

Not even gonna dignify most of these 2013's with replies. You guys clearly didn't play DPP and don't understand that it's asinine to simply compare BST's, it was a different metagame. The reality is that despite all the numeric differences the two play very similarly. My point was never that...

So tired of these ridiculous analogies T_T (like why would Gyarados need to get around faster Sub users?? That's not it's Achilles heal). Gyarados didn't need those things because it had different strengths, strengths which made it play incredibly similar to how MegaKang does today. It comes...

I already answered this in my original post: you don't need to run stuff like Cofagrigus, your team isn't meant to have a counter for every pokemon in the game. Also predicting doesn't work like that, you speak as if the MegaKangaskhan pilot always gets it right and you always get it wrong. I...

??? DPP Gyarados didn't need priority because it consistently had a dance or two and I don't know why you even think this matters. My post was articulating that DPP Gyarados was a very similar beast to MegaKangaskhan and it was never banned. The way you beat both of them is by making an...

It's pretty clear you never played DPP, which is what I was talking about. No one has rebutted this post I made, but keep telling yourself that.

I never even tried to compare Magnezone to MegaKanaskhan :(? I brought up the Magnezone Shed Shell reference to debunk the argument that increased Rocky Helmet usage is somehow a reason to ban Kangaskhanite. This is the last time I'm going to reply to this (now rapidly recurring) false...

This is the complete inverse of the truth and you're missing my point. Who are you (or I, or anyone) to say that Rocky Helmet Garchomp or Gyarados or etc are "such outrageous ideas/clearly bad for the metagame"? Seriously think of Focus Sash, Lum Berry, or Resist Berries in general. There are...

But when is something becoming "the main set" bad and when is it good? I understand that neither of us claim to know this "invisible line", but I want to demonstrate how this isn't actually bad. Once upon a time Magnezone did this to basically all steels, Shed Shell vs Leftovers debate, etc...

You could make the case that MegaKangaskhan is one of (if not the best pokemon) in Pokebank OU and deserves to be banned. I am going to elaborate on what I believe to be the grossly under-represented side: that it should be OU. It absolutely disgusts me how many people think Kangaskhanite...

I gave plenty of constructive criticism, why did you only quote the first 8 words? And you aren't meant to use everything, my point was he didn't have any of those. I'm not going to bother replying to the rest of what you wrote or anything else because it displays a clear lack of understanding...

His opponent linked the replay asking us to analyse it, what's wrong with you? Also you might not have noticed but this is a competitive forum where the entire purpose is to analyse and judge. If you don't like it then "don't let the door hit you on the way out". It's unbelievable how afraid...

His team is garbage and he played terrible. This is example #27631312 of someone posting a low-rating replay (this guy was ~1500) which is completely worthless. The guys team is horrible and his decisions so poor that he's going to lose to almost everything (which is why he's 1500). His team...

I think it's important to mention somewhere that for Excadrill to OHK bulky Rotom-W he needs to be either Adamant+ExpertBelt or Jolly+LifeOrb (and obviously Adamant+LifeOrb works too). 252+ Atk Expert Belt Excadrill Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Rotom-W: 305-360 (100.3 - 118.4%) --...

Taking up your Mega Slot is undoubtedly a con, to pretend otherwise is ludicrous (and not worth mentioning in an analysis imo). Whether it is outweighed by what it brings to the table is another thing entirely, but to act like it is not costing you something is just silly. I just don't think...

Isn't the most obvious Con that it has 4MSS? It's a phenomenal pokemon and all but it doesn't have any one set that just destroys everything (unlike Gen4 DD Gyarados, Garchomp, Mixmence etc).

Neither of those spreads outspeed plus natured base 130's after one DD.

With DragonGem's gone are any of the dragons really worth using? I have very limited experience with Doubles this gen, but last gen it was all about the DragonGem Draco Meteor. With that gone is there really any point using Salamence, Hydreigon, Lati@s, etc? Seems like they are E rank or...

ThunderPunch is slashed with FirePunch for this very reason, but I 100% agree with Colonel that TPunch should be the primary slash. The most common checks to Dragonite are Togekiss, Azumarill, and to a lesser extent Skarmory. Thunderpunch hits the first two hard enough to actually score the...
