  1. NU Viability Ranking

    Thanks for the response EBeast. I agree with everything else you said too actually. I've been running Metang on a new team I'm working on, but I do think it's more of a D Class candidate. I haven't tested Lairon yet, but I've seen him fit the role he serves, and he tends to do a good job of...
  2. NU Viability Ranking

    Of course Cinccino has plenty of counters and flaws, I'm just basing my post on what I've seen Cinccino do within the metagame. Many players seem to be leaving a viable counter to it out, or only carrying one which can quickly be drawn out and dealt with based on my personal experiences. I do...
  3. NU Viability Ranking

    Cincinno HP: 75 Atk 95 Def: 60 SpA: 65 SpD: 60 Spe: 115 I think Cinccino is easily one of the biggest threats in the entire tier, and that's why I believe it should be S Rank. Skill Link is what makes Cinccino such a force in the metagame, allowing it to break...
  4. NU Pokemon of the Week - Golurk

    Great point DTC, I marvel at how I forgot to mention Hyper Offense, because it's what I've been testing lately. Musharna may be bulky, but when you introduce boosts it no longer matters due to Musharna being an easy 2HKO by most offensive sets. I also find Musharna's terrible speed becomes a...
  5. Tricky gravity in the screen room

    I think the issue with using screens solely to set your hazards would be the obvious spinners, and potentially Magic Bounce; of course, you can always carry a spinblocker. I think the general consensus behind setting up with a sweeper behind screens is that it gets you straight to the point...
  6. Tricky gravity in the screen room

    I don't have any extended exposure to any of the gimmicks listed, but I have had some time to test all of them except Gravity. However, I can say that Gravity is underrated and does have potential when paired with an innovative mind. As for screens, I think EBeast brought up a very suitable...
  7. NU Pokemon of the Week - Golurk

    Thanks for the input EBeast! I'll fix the spreads in my post, that's a wonderful inquiry. I agree completely that the viability of Musharna @ Choice Specs lay heavily on the surprise factor. Catching many opponents off-guard and forcing them to hand over the momentum of the battle to you...
  8. NU Pokemon of the Week - Golurk

    First of all, it almost seems as if Musharna outclasses the tier with all of the bulk and versatility that it carries along with it. Musharna can play one of multiple roles on a team, or all of them at once. Either way, Musharna displays it's success in the job it needs to fulfill for almost...
  9. Metagame Gen V PU - NU in NU

    I also enjoy PU more than I enjoy NU. I believe it's because NU has so many Pokémon that could have potential but have become outclassed by the more popular choices. The PU tier is something that fills the gap inside of the NU metagame, and brings a fresh new experience to the table. I also...
  10. NU Pokemon of the Week - Golurk

    I've been testing Braviary recently, and it's such monster in the NU tier. Whether you want to run this thing with a Choice Band or not, it's an undeniable flying powerhouse. Braviary proves it's versatility with more creative sets, but it's true colors shine behind it's raw power and decent...
  11. Metagame Gen V PU - NU in NU

    I've been variably playing this tier ever since it first surfaced, and I must admit it's the most fun I've ever had in competitive battling to date. I strongly support the motion of this becoming an official tier, although I'm aware of the current decisions around this idea. Some players are...
