    So I have been out of the loop since the end of BW2. What is this Pokebank I hear people talk about? It seems to be some sort of feature that allows us to get access to Pokemon not part of XY; does that mean XY can't trade backwards, like Ruby/Sapphire? Also, does Pokemon Showdown! use Pokebank?

    Dark Waters - A Rain Team by Sweep and Psych071c

    I would switch either Hidden Power or Thunder on Rotom for Volt Switch. Hidden Power hits very few targets harder than Leaf Storm. Flygon and Nidoking/queen (offensive) can only switch to a Leaf Storm once, and Gligar is 2HKOd handily if it has taken any prior damage. However, I do recognize...

    Meow (peaked #8)

    Threats: Fast Priority ExtremeSpeed has higher priority than Prankster Assist, and Unburden Hitmonlee is faster than Liepard and can hit it with Mach Punch. Mismagius can pivot switch around the former and potentially take it out with Destiny Bond and Ditto can revenge-kill Unburden Hitmonlee...

    Meow (peaked #8)

    After reading this RMT and the subsequent NU Liepard suspect test, I was intrigued by the idea of Assist Liepard. While I had been introduced to a somewhat similar idea in Copycat Riolu, this seemed more effective (sans the devotion of five team slots to supporting Liepard). I did not expect...

    Sonic & Knuckles (Currently #1 Gen 5 UU)

    4 SDef EVs on Rotom-H and on Heracross instead of Def/HP (respectively) prevents Download users from gaining a special attack boost. Other than that, this team is very well-built. The only improvement I could think of to beat troublesome threats (in particular Amoonguss) was using Stone Edge...

    ok I have two questions then: 1. will the ladder be frozen at the end of the test? 2. does glicko2 decay on Pokemon Showdown! ?

    Xatu (Special Attacker) (QC 3/3) (GP 2/2)

    40 HP EVs yields 281 HP, which is incredibly sub-optimal for a Life Orb users. 8 of those EVs should be moved elsewhere, as it's inferior in all cases to 32 HP EVs after 2 attacks (probably to SpD for insurance against Download)

    we just have to have the 2050±65 reqs at any point during the ladder period right? not necessarily at the end?

    Cryo gets more chances to spin than any other spinner in the tier (it's immune to ground, it's fast with good special defense, it forces out things like zapdos and nidos, it has recover) but it gives a lot of things easy switchins like chandelure/victini and it has little supportive presence...

    I also didn't play the first phase of the suspect test, but I also have the current reqs on the UUcurrent ladder. Is there a suspect ladder that will be up later that I also need to get reqs on?

    Shuckle (Contrary Shell Smashing Tank)

    Remove the mention of 31 Def / 31 SpD / 31 Spe EVs. IV's that aren't mentioned are assumed to be 31. In addition, Relaxed doesn't really serve a purpose... keep it to Impish/Bold.

    In the most recent usage stats, 252 SpA Froslass made up 47.25% of all Froslass, and 60% of all Froslass had Focus Sash (which begs the question if there are Focus Sash Froslass with defense investment, but that's another argument). It's safe to say that most Froslass are dedicated leads...

    Froslass is by no means guaranteed to get 2 free turns to do whatever she pleases. There's a handful of common Pokemon that prevent her from getting up any Spikes: - Cinccino and Beat Up Ambipom - Sableye - Taunt Tornadus (wins vs Shadow Ball + Focus Sash variants) - Crobat (wins vs...

    Abomasnow (QC 3/3) (GP 2/2)

    Every set and the overview needs to place more emphasis on Abomasnow's ability to reliably switch into and check Water-types, which is (from my experience) one of its main strengths. Mixed Attacker: - The EVs are inefficient, as its SpA is higher than its Attack (which gets the nature boost)...

    Balance and Conquer

    Hi! While I know that you're trying out Chansey over Snorlax, I think the most suitable for this particular team is Choice Band Snorlax. Most notably, it traps and kills Ghost-types, which can lead to a Mienshao sweep. This stresses Snorlax's main advantage over Chansey (its damage) and has more...

    The Damage Over Time effect: UU Stalling?

    There's really no good reason to use Umbreon over Chansey now that it's dropped. Its wishes are better, and it can toxic-stall much more efficiently. Its only real flaws are that it lacks leftovers recovery, is vulnerable to the rare Leech Seed, and a lack of good resistances, but Umbreon...
