  1. np: BW OU Suspect Testing Round 10 - Hazard

    a lot of what i'm about to say might be repititive, but i couldn't take reading this whole thread when its so reptitive as is. in theory, deoxys-d should be banned if 1) the hazards it gets up are gamebreaking and/or 2) if it can do so with as little support as possible. when i look at the...
  2. Kyurem-B

    Has anyone tried running mixed defensive Kyurem-B? Kyurem-B @ Leftovers Trait: Teravolt EVs: 248 HP / 68 Def / 192 SDef Sassy Nature - Ice Beam - Substitute - Roost - Dragon Tail This thing stalls out so many teams for me, especially with hazards support. Destroys rain, Specs Toed does 71.08%...
  3. np: NU Stage 7 - Free Bird

    Definitely seeing what everyone else is seeing, especially the rise of Duosis and fall of Musharna. Duosis is a huge threat that is really hard to muscle through from the physical side (as ium said, checking cb sawk which is so important), and you have to really catch it before it sets up on the...
  4. Gen 5 The OU Viability Ranking thread

    Infernape and Jolteon and Gastrodon don't get a mention?
  5. Gen V Balanced Hackmons

    More anti- Deoxys-S lead is imprison, of which you can use prankster to always get it off first, or mold breaker for magic bouncers. I think it's been mentioned before though. But going first isn't all that useful because they can often a) have lum berry, or more dangerously b) have magic coat.
  6. NU Pokemon of the Week - Golurk

    I find it weird that no one talks about Pivot Musharna. It's a very weak set offensively but that's really not the point at all. Besides psychic and moonlight, you get to pick two out of three support options: T-Wave to allow for slow sweepers like Ursaring to come in, Heal Bell to cure status...
  7. Research Group #7 - Granbull, Masquerain, Swoobat, Throh

    Sorry for not being clear...by mixed I meant like Annoyer's set, half support (T-Wave, Heal Bell), half physical attacker (Return, Close Combat). As for some theory-monning, would a rattled set work to support any psychic type? Rattled activates on all the super effective moves on psychics, so...
  8. Research Group #7 - Granbull, Masquerain, Swoobat, Throh

    @Awmgnoob: I don't mean to be a downer, but what advantages does that Granbull set have over Ursaring? Ursaring is a bit faster, a tad bulkier on the special side, and a bit stronger. The only thing I can think of is that Ursaring doesn't have wild charge, but he does have thunderpunch so I...
  9. NU Viability Ranking

    I'd like to suggest Granbull, Banette, and Natu to the D ranking. Each has a small niche, however effective, and can sometimes deserve a teamslot. Granbull is outclassed by Miltank as a status spreader/heal beller, mainly due to his lack of recovery. However, it has access to Close Combat...
  10. Gen V Balanced Hackmons

    Hey maddenxo, I would consider swapping out lefties on Scizor for a Lum Berry because you really just can't predict with magic coat that well. Also, while flash fire is a nice surprise, any magic bouncer can set up on you for free unless it happens to be something like a Celebi (which it won't...
  11. RU Pokemon of the Week: Cinccino

    Tried using intimidate Stoutland today: Stoutland @ Leftovers Trait: Intimidate EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef Careful Nature (+Spd,-Spa) - Thunder Wave - Roar - Return / Rest - Substitute / Superpower / Sleep Talk Thunder Wave and Roar are essentially the extent of Stoutland's support...
  12. Gothorita Discussion

    I suppose it depends on who your want to take out whether or not you can you specs. I find Gothorita to have enough bulk to take Alomomola and Amoonguss's attacks, because they just don't hit very hard. The thing about Amoonguss is spore, which your set deals with well but not the specs one...
  13. Gothorita Discussion

    Gothorita Traits: Frisk / Shadow Tag 60 / 45 / 70 / 75 / 85 / 55 Compared to Gothitelle: -10 / -10 / -25 / -20 / -20 / -25 / -10 At first glance, Gothorita seems like a terrible choice for a pokemon (even in NU). However, with Gothitelle banished to the BL, Wynaut just being bad (especially...
  14. First RMT: VoltTurning in RU

    Thanks for the rates guys! I tried out Kabutops, and he's working better than Hitmonlee was. I'll update descriptions to reflect Kabutops replacing Hitmonlee.
  15. First RMT: VoltTurning in RU

    Hey Incon! Thanks fo the reply, and the tips. I've added Uxie to the post, and I can't wait to try it out. It sounds good, I've used Uxie Dual Screens before and it always proves effective, so I think it'll work out well here as well. I've also worked on the descriptions. Is it better now, or...
  16. First RMT: VoltTurning in RU

    VoltTurning in RU! Team: Hey everyone! I'm really new to this, as well as competitive pokemon in general, so bear with me :) My goal in making this team was to use Volt-Turn momentum to rack up entry hazard damage, weakening counters that prevent Scyther from sweeping, until he is...
