I think the reason Slurpuff could be ranked S rank is its ability to fill many different roles. It can be a strong special attacker with cm and great coverage, it can be a extremely fast and powerful physical attacker with belly drum sitrus berry, or it can be a strong physical wall, absorbing...

Not to break up the Slurpuff debate but I'd like to see Grumpig here as C. Even though it seems really outclassed by things like Uxie and Mespirit, it fills a great defensive role while absorbing attacks from common special attacker such as Magmortar, Typhlosion, and Jynx. Not only does it...

So I'd like to talk about our lord and pumpkin, Gourgeist. Goirgeist is a great defensive wall, with great support moves from leech seed to will-o-wisp, painsplit, and even the little used trick room. Now I like Gourgeist Small personally, running a fully defensive set with leechseed, willowisp...

Yeah I'm testing out the pokemon that have been suggested, and am figuring out where I can put them, if I can. The reason I like Slurpuff is that I impulsively want a special and a physical wish passer on my team, something that I just can't give up on, I guess I'm stuck in my ways. And I also...

I'm mainly afraid adding those two will skew my special physical switch, and though Slirpuff can eat focus blast pretty well, if they aren't locked in, the next special move does heavy damage. That's why I want more neutrality to fighting. Spiritomb does look nice over Gourgeist, but losing my...

Firstly, thanks for the rate and advice. Certainly I will now be running haze over toxic, as I see it's value. I like aromatherapy on Slurpuff for the chance that Licky is asleep, and I find that while status is useful, if I require it I will use t-spikes. About the other suggestions: The reason...

While I see where you're coming from with those suggestions, I think you may have missed that Seismitoad is actually a special wall (I know it's not normal) the reason for this was a special wall that could absorb fire moves and set up rocks, along with not compounding the fighting weakness...

While everyone is seeing slurpuff as a sweeper, as a defensive player, I have found it to be a great physical wall. It easily stops fighting and dark attacks, and with full defensive investment, can take quite a few other attacks while being able to heal and wish pass.

After playing stall for a long time back in BW2 Nu, I decide to try to make a XY stall team. With many new threats in the tier, notably Xatu and Defog Shiftry, and the loss of great Pokemon like Alomomola, I knew I had work ahead of me to be done. In the end, this is what I came up with...

While assault vest stunfisk looks pretty cool, there are a few issues I can see with it. Firstly, even with good coverage, without satk evs and coming off base 81 stunfisk seems to rely on status to deal damage. Though it does have a high status chance, a bulky sub can absorb neutral hits no...

The problem with these two are in Garbador's case, few opportunities to setup with the prevalence of earthquake, and with Roselia, as mentioned, a huge buff to knock off. I find Gard has a hard enough time setting up all layers of spikes in a match early enough to be useful, without having to...

I don't know how much weezing has been discussed, but here are my two cents. Weezing got some good buffs this gen. Toxics spikes are a boon to many types of team, especially those not running a poison type. Though defog will be popular, especially on skuntank, who will be the premier defogger...

Yeah sorry, this is generally what I meant, that there was going to be more scarfers, I got off track. And also one less 95 speed tier pokemon and a 112 speed pokemon gives those fast frail pokemon under 95 speed more of a chance.
