    Heatran [QC 3/4]

    I didn't see it mentioned in the thread thus far, but I'm wondering how viable a Binding Band is on the Trapper set. Magma Storm's BP got dropped to 100 this Gen, which is unfortunate, but it's residual damage got buffed to 1/8 per turn from 1/16 in Gen V. With a Binding Band equipped, this...

    Ubers Shaymin-S [GP 2/2]

    In the BW2 analysis, it mentions putting Shaymin's HP IVs at 29 when using Life Orb: "The IVs serve a very particular purpose, namely to reduce Life Orb recoil, allowing Shaymin-S to survive 11 whiplashes instead of 10."

    Ubers Shaymin-S [GP 2/2]

    This is true versus Darkrai, when factoring in STAB (Seed Flare will hit with 180 BP vs 160 BP for SE Dazzling Gleam), but not true against Yveltal because of it's Flying type. I guess you'd have to consider how big of a threat Yveltal is in the Ubers Metagame.

    Ubers Shaymin-S [GP 2/2]

    Dealing with all of the Dragon Pokemon that run amok? A 1/2 resisted Seed Flare hits with 90 BP, while a 2X effective Dazzling Gleam hits with 160 BP. Obviously the ~80% SpD drop is amazing, but is it worth it to lose that much power? Dazzling Gleam also gives it a way to decimate Darkrai and...

    Ubers Shaymin-S [GP 2/2]

    So glad this is finally being worked on. Shaymin-S is my favourite. I guess my first question is now that Hidden Power has a BP of 60, how viable is it (specifically HP Ice) in Gen VI, especially now that it gets Dazzling Gleam? Against targets that have a 4X weakness, it certainly has merit...

    Ubers Yveltal (GP 2/2)

    Looking good so far. If using a Modest nature, where would you put the remaining 4 EVs? HP, Def, or SpD?

    Ubers Yveltal (GP 2/2)

    I assume that if you're going to go with Focus Blast on the Taunt + 3 Attacks set, you should be using a Modest nature? What about the EV spread? That should probably be mentioned in the Set Details section.

    Resource ORAS OU Simple Questions, Simple Answers (Read the OP First!)

    I'd like to know this too. I assume no though, as it's been almost a week already, so we'd likely know by now if there were. Also, GameFreak always does it this way. They save the proper move tutors until the 2nd release, so we'll get them likely in Pokemon Z (featuring Zygarde on the cover).

    Pokémon Delphox

    So it's standard ability Blaze is the better choice then, I take it?

    Pokémon Delphox

    Thanks for the quick response. Is there a confirmed list of available Pokemon in the Friend Safari? Any possibility of available legendaries? X/Y seem to have a severe lack of them.

    Pokémon Delphox

    Total noob question, but how did you get your Delphox with Magician? I thought that was it's hidden ability?

    Galvantula (Update) (QC 3/3) (GP 2/2)

    Great point on HP Ground. In addition to the primary targets it hits that you listed, it also gives you a way to hit Pokemon that have a type advantage over you for super effective damage (Fire and Rock). It's also always a good idea to have a move capable of hitting Pokemon that share the same...

    Galvantula (Update) (QC 3/3) (GP 2/2)

    Bug Buzz and Thunder are no brainers, but I'd prioritize Energy Ball/Giga Drain and HP Ice/Fire over Substitute and HP Water. Energy Ball provides coverage against Ground (Quagsire in particular), and will hit pretty hard coming off of Galvantula's Special Attack stat. Alternatively, Giga...

    Garchomp (BW2 Revamp) [GP 1/2]

    Ah, Gotcha. With the Sand Veil ban in OU, will there also be a revamp of Garchomp in Ubers?

    Garchomp (BW2 Revamp) [GP 1/2]

    My apologies if this is a stupid question, as I'm new here and this is my first post. Why is there no mention of Stone Edge on any of the proposed sets? It seemed to be pretty much mandatory on all of the DPP/BW sets in the past.
