I think it should be clear that this ranking list is made for the average player. Skilled team builders don't need this list, they can make a D or C ranked mon shine through its niche, adequate support and smart play. In some particular team it may seem like a very low ranked mon deserves to be...

Drought Torterra (since i was the one who came up with it the last time :p ) HM: Magnet pull Cobalion I love cobalion and this actually gives him yet another niche.

Did you try it? It may not impress on paper (just like Clefable) but it does some serious work. The set won't sweep for you but it wins 1v1 against so many pokemon that it basically serves as a more offensive blanket check than Clefable. Against teams with antisynergy (use multiple threats with...

Azu's AV set is so damn good and that is the set that makes it S. It is surprinsingly bulky on both sides while have enough power to be used as a blanket 1 time counter/check if you get cornered. It can act as a glue for your team and puts a lot of pressure on the enemy once it is out since the...

Non mega sableye has incredibly bad bulk though. If they have lum berry you are toast. +2 252 Atk Garchomp Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Sableye: 282-333 (92.7 - 109.5%) -- 56.3% chance to OHKO +1 252+ Atk Dragonite Outrage vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Sableye: 286-337 (94 - 110.8%) -- 62.5% chance...

Offensive spreads can setup at least once and KO anyway. Defensive (specially) spreads always avoid the 2hko. How many ninjas run grass knot? Who runs physical sets?

This is completely true. I've lately started to include a heavy hitter leaning more towards semi-stall. I have encountered many teams with a stallbreaker+ wallbreaker or even 2 stallbreakers as high as in 1650 range. Instead of just raging, I've started to adapt. The problem with Gothielle is...

Low kick does the same dame damage as gunk shot. No need for low kick calcs. Chansey should always be 252 hp anyway. To a poster saying she loses 50% of her bulk with knock off, it is not true. She loses 33% (1/3 to be precise).

It needs knock off or those spdef def drops will be the death of you. What set are you thinking about? Taunt/knock off/earthquake/protect? Without protect you risk the 2hko: 252 SpA Life Orb Gengar Shadow Ball vs. 244 HP / 192+ SpD Gliscor: 156-185 (44.3 - 52.5%) -- 21.5% chance to 2HKO after...

We are discussing pokemon that are currently in B and B+. Mega Doom is B-.

Gengar is also a huge threat: 252 SpA Life Orb Gengar Sludge Wave vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Chesnaught: 510-603 (134.2 - 158.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO 252 SpA Life Orb Gengar Focus Blast vs. 212 HP / 0 SpD Solid Rock Rhyperior: 411-485 (96.9 - 114.3%) -- 81.3% chance to OHKO 252 SpA Life Orb Gengar Shadow...

Gengar is a huge threat, nothing likes to switch into it especially in balance. Ghost+fighting+poison is a pain to deal with. It even wins against chansey with taunt. You should mention rain as a whole. If you don't have an answer you basically auto-lose.

There are three ways to play Kyu-B: 1/ Scarf Kyu-B is a very good revenge killer with good coverage and mega-like stats. Being faster than scarf lando and ohkoing obviously is really good right now. 2/Sub+3 attacks. Sub against something you threaten or can hardly damage you (hi rotom-w) and...

I've had a lot of success with the following core: LO KyuB/Megabro/Porygon2 It is a nice balanced core and para support from P2 is great. I with I could run Jirachi instead of P2 but Ninja is a bitch :( . You still need a Bisharp answer though. Cobalion looks good with SR+volt-switch+CC+Iron...

I suppose he's talking about Mega Gardevoir/Gallade. Both start with GA and have truly outrageous looks. Megabro should at least be A+. He's not just a stall mon, he also does a lot of work for balanced teams in a tank set "à la MegaVenu" but much more reliably. It has a retarded Gamefreak era...

About Jirachi, I'll quote myself and Albacore:

You ask for information, I give it with reliable source to you then you doubt it. Why ask then? The game sees it in a different way than worded by you -your wording is incorrect since it needs to be more specific. It simply uses the target's effective attack stat. Try different scenarii in here...

I already replied to your question. It will use the attack stat after the boost from huge power. Huge power is an attack modifier.

Just read the Bulbapedia article. "If the user has the AbilityHuge Power or Pure Power, Foul Play will be calculated with double the target's attack stat." Yes, it is taken into account. More generally, user item, status and ability are taken into account: "With the exception of the Attack...
