TY for being informative <3

Barring HP Ice, does Aegislash honestly beat Landorus-I? I mean specially defensive Aegislash-Blade takes 79.6% minimum on wifi and 75.3 on showdown from Earth Power, and 252/4 just gets smashed in one shot

This sounds like an interesting metagame to play, while I don't use Pokemon Showdown I will certainly be trying it out over wifi and locals.

there is absolutely no way this is for real, so many of these are just far too outlandish. EDIT: those abilities for mega Lati@s were originally rumored to be what they'd be getting before they were released

Can't wait to see that lovely OU tag on my boy Azelf again... love using him

LO/CB Black Kyurem and CM Virizion deal with mega slowbro pretty easily, as does Mega Charizard Y

From my point of view, Black Kyurem is going to be something you need an answer to. Chesnaught takes a minimum of 67.8% from an invested Adamant Ice Beam, and the same Ice Beam pulverizes Gliscor. It can carry Iron Head to beat Clefable, and Outrage will OHKO Rotom-H 31.3% of the time or...

Mawile isn't living a Fire Blast from Hydreigon

I did say it was only a temporary solution to the problem >_>

I think it is worth specifying that Magneton, with its scarf in hand, just barely fails to outrun positive max investment base 130s at level 100, just for the sake of specifying its limits.. however if it is battling at level 50(PSS normal rules) it actually outruns said 130s by 1 point if it...

I personally like using scarfers and, less so, priority users to deal with Greninja. Scarfers alone give Greninja pause, as Landorus-T and Latios wipe Greninja out though Landorus-T wants stealth rock assistance or a round or two of Life Orb damage to secure the kill. Though I struggle to think...

I am of the opinion that species and sleep clauses need to be in AG.

Do not forget that a good number of dragons are resistant to fighting, notable ones being Lati@s and Salamence(who also has intimidate to make the switches a bit easier), who could fit in to that core quite well

Slowbro: 173.1lbs Mega Slowbro 264.6lbs there ya go bud

calcs vs 252/252 impish Hippowdon Adamant Mega Medicham HJK 59.2 - 70% Adamant Choice Band Victini V-Create 61.6 - 72.8% Adamant Choice Band Black Kyurem Outrage 60.7 - 71.4% It's close but not quite :P

Responding to the point where you say that Play Rough is Mawile's strongest move vs Gliscor... Mawile can learn Ice Punch thanks to move tutors but the uses for it are very limited.

My prediction of a metagame without Mawile will make a slew of dragon type Pokemon, namely Latios and Black Kyurem, much more prominent because it is one of the very few fairy types that can give them pause.. and there are very few viable fairy types right now. Mega Mawile can be nearly...

Going to be touching on some things I mentioned in my previous post, which you can find here https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/np-xy-ou-suspect-testing-round-6-wrecking-ball-read-post-423-for-posting-etiquette.3514144/page-3#post-5647881 as well as elaborating on it a bit, and some other...

252+ Atk Huge Power Mega Mawile Play Rough vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Rotom-W: 192-226 (63.1 - 74.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery Burn it thereafter or predict switch and Pain Split/Hydro Pump/Volt Switch etc. Don't you dare tell me that physically defensive Rotom-W is niche. It may...

This is one Pokemon that definitely is not ban worthy. Any Pokemon that isn't weak to Sucker Punch and packs a super effective move checks this thing and while it only has two weaknesses they are to the common Fire and Ground type attacks. I think it is worth noting that physically defensive...
