  1. ORAS OU Mega Lopunny Hyper-Offense

    Thank you for the help! Did you mean Latios>Serperior, though? I think I'm probably using Garchomp wrong, as it always seems to die quickly. I guess the issue is that it loses against specially defensive Talonflame, which can just Taunt it, burn it, and switch out without needing to take...
  2. ORAS OU Mega Lopunny Hyper-Offense

    Hello! It's been awhile since I've built an OU team (or posted a RMT, for that matter), so I thought I'd ask for some help with this team. It's at about 1500 on the OU ladder atm, but there are notable flaws that prevent it from being consistent. edit: Having some sprite difficulties. The team...

    Aegislash: Do Not Unban
  6. np: ORAS OU Suspect Process, Round 3 - Wandering Ghosts [Aegislash remains in Ubers]

    Earlier in this thread, I argued that Aegislash should become OU again, because I believed it was not broken. In principle (maybe because I used to play so much Ubers), I believed that we should try to enforce as few rules as possible while still maintaining a competitive metagame. At this...

    (the numbering was not part of the original quote) As before, I sort of agree with you. However, I'd like to point out that the outcomes of "winning" each matchup aren't all equal. Situation 1: Aegislash does "win" in that it is better off than it the start of the scenario. However, there are...

    We'll see when the usage stats come out at the end of the month, but it's not nearly as bleak as you're making it seem. This is evidenced by the fact that there are many teams which do not have Mega Lopunny, Aegislash, and Keldeo/Landorus. I haven't heard people complaining about "how stale the...

    This is an interesting comparison, but it's a bit flawed. I acknowledge the point that you're making (that Aegislash can take a hit with very good defense, and retaliate with very good offense). We should note, though, that Aegislash-Blade is much more frail than Dragonite -- it will die to any...

    Heatran isn't just A+ for its bulk. Flash Fire is a big advantage, as it allows Heatran to switch into any fire move (including Will-O-Wisp) and get an immediate boost. Heatran also has access to Lava Plume, which gives it the ability to do decent damage while spreading burns. It can also use...

    Got reqs. Here are some thoughts: (Disclaimer: I've only used a stall team so far in the suspect test, so my perspective is admittedly a bit limited. I'm going to ladder on an alt with a more offensive team in the next few days.) Aegislash can be checked by a sizable number of Pokemon, many of...

    They aren't really "gimmicky sets" though. It's not like anyone is resorting to HP Water on Zweilous to check Camerupt -- Zweilous does perfectly fine with its standard, predictable set. To take from my above post: Zweilous walls (and can win 1v1 against) Typhlosion, Ninetales, Lilligant...
  15. Metagame np: Stage 5 - Eruption (Cameruptite and Typhlosion Banned)

    Going down the list of A and B-ranked pokemon, it also walls (and can win 1v1 against) Seismitoad, Uxie, Musharna, Exeggutor, Ludicolo, Mismagius*, Pyroar**, Rotom, Claydol, Gourgeist, Haunter, Lanturn, Quagsire, Rotom-Fan, and Mantine. Taking hits from Camerupt is just a bonus. *It can...
  16. Metagame np: Stage 5 - Eruption (Cameruptite and Typhlosion Banned)

    Ok, going to chip in here now that I got reqs. My points here will be fairly general and simplistic since I don't have a lot of time, so take them as you will. Camerupt -- It's not all it's cracked up to be. Against offensive teams, it has a lot of trouble switching in, as it generally needs to...

  20. ORAS OU Stallturn

    Hello, and congrats on the peak! I realize I'm posting this fairly late, but I thought I'd give my thoughts on the team anyway. One thing I noticed was a weakness to Swords Dance Mega Pinsir. It can get decent switch-in opportunities (Gliscor can't touch it, for example). Once it sets up, it...
