Yeah, was a misconception back in the first few days of XY where it was rumored that spin ninja was legal, until people started breeding for spin greninjas and got nothing lol. Don't remember defog talon though :/ as for the rate, this looks like a really solid team and grats on that peak :D...

I meant the fact he said that you decimate "75% of UU" with that set, wasn't talking about the pokemon choice.

This is an OU thread son Anyway I've been having fun with this set, its obviously not very amazing but it does have some nice uses. Pangoro @ Choice Scarf Ability: Mold Breaker/Iron Fist EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP Jolly Nature - Parting Shot - Sky Uppercut - Crunch - Earthquake A Scarfed...

Well first of all Flying Gem is actually not currently legal in XY. Also don't bump so often or in the way you're doing it, it gets kinda annoying. As for some real quick changes from a glance, your team doesn't really benefit from Sticky Web too much besides Zard X really who has DDance...

Moltres is awesome but is just too slow considering its nasty type defensively, which also calls for a 4x sneaky pebbles weakness. Basically it just calls for too much support when you can use something faster like Volcarona if you want something like Moltres who, while still has a 4x SR...

Interesting write-up, Rain Dance deo-s sounds like a pretty cool pokemon actually. Vivillon's hurricane is mostly pointless in rain since Compoundeyes beefs Hurricanes accuracy up to 91%.

Flare Blitz told me to say hi

Pretty nice core here. From the looks of it I would suggest running Stealth Rock over Flash Cannon since from the looks of it you will be forcing a lot of switches. It might also be just me but I would rather run Synthesis over Sleep Powder to provide more reliable recovery since MegaVenu is...

Alright cool, any of the ones I offered particularly interest you?

Do you have any spitback Riolus? I can trade a spitback chimchar, trevenant, porygon, rotom, or misdreavus. If you want any further details for them just ask.

I wouldn't rely on a 20% flinch chance as a way to determine counters, unless its a pokemon whos strategy revolves around stuff like that(togekiss, haxrachi) Obviously it can happen but its not a reason imo to completely change a team member

He does have a point about U-Turn, Superpower's attack drop loses some momentum and can open up a setup opportunity. Also I'd rather keep rocks off since theres a lot of VolTurn on this core, and Infernape would be taking a lot of damage racking up with that along with LO, so it would probably...

The Lando-T idea sounds pretty effective actually, I'm gonna give it a shot. Don't want to have a teambuilding conversation in a cores thread though so that's enough though lol Real quick though before you mentioned Landorus I was considering Donphan since he can spin stuff away without me...

I was wondering if Sableye could work or maybe Mandibuzz, plus Sableye could give Will-o support, although in the end I decided this Infernape set would work well to kill Setup Steels as well as round off a FWG core. Infernape @ Choice Scarf Ability: Iron Fist EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP...

Came up with this weird VoltTurn core and looking for thoughts/opinions/suggestions. Celebi @ Leftovers Ability: Natural Cure EVs: 252 HP / 252 SPDef / 4 SPAtk Calm Nature - Recover - U-Turn - Stealth Rock - Giga Drain Rotom-W @ Leftovers Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SPAtk Bold...

With hera I meant that its more suspect to burns than other megas. Lucario is viable on both sides, garchomp can run mixed, pinsir has priority, absol has magic bounce etc. Agreed. 105 speed isn't what it used to be. If it were 110 that would be nice but oh well, not like 105 is bad.

A tier is too high, Hera-Mega is just too slow and has a generally bad defensive type to bring its nice bulk down. Its really vulnerable to burns, especially since its outsped by Rotom who usually has will-o. It can definitely work and work well but it needs a lot of the right support. I'm on...

I'm gonna throw my two cents and nominate Manectric-Mega for B tier. Mega Manectric has an incredible 135 Speed and good enough 135 SpAtk. Normally Jolteon would outclass it, but Manectric has access to flamethrower(and overheat), scoring important OHKOs on lots of pokemon such as...

Special moves are really viable with 115 Spatk but yeah wasting so much potential with attack would be a shame. I can definately see a mixed set being pretty viable though. Play Rough probably works better on a Swords Dance set than Superpower does because of SP's stat drops. Superpower...

Rapid Spin greninja ahhh memories :toast: So far neither Clauncher, Clawitzer, Skrelp or Dragalge are listed in reasonably reliable sites(or any site except for rumors on forums like here), so I doubt that.
