Well, if it is unranked, I could see it moving up to C rank.

All delphox did was kill a nidoking and an empoleon(who was at low health) which doesn't look like a sweep to me. There is a reason it is C rank.

Either ways, some of the most unorthodox sets on some of the most known pokemon can really catch people off guard. And back to Infernape, I really think he doesn't deserve to be down on C rank. He's got a pretty versatile play style especially with the mixed set and I'm positive that most people...

Congratulations to the both of you. I'm sure you guys will be pretty good co-leaders(Sorry if I'm a bit late in posting this, just saw the thread right now).

I haven't used this Ev spread before but from what you described, it seems pretty solid. I also would like to mention that infernape can catch a lot of people off guard especially when they switch to their physical wall and get hit with a LO boosted Fire blast or flamethrower. I really think a...

Okay, so for your first team, it seems kind of good. Replace trick room with shadow ball or thunderbolt or any other coverage move of choice and give it 252 Ev's in speed with a timid nature. I recommend taking life orb off keldeo. He's already got power and since your using calm mind, give him...

Not quite a few mons, but a lot of them. Jirachi is now common on most teams and someone or the other will have a steel type on their team be it lucario, metagross or aggron-M. The CM set especially is really hard to pull off a sweep with and even if it gets to +6 with BD, metagross's bullet...

Just because some people had success with a Pokemon doesn't mean that that Pokemon is good, or in this case, a good Pokemon to use in the meta. I'm not saying slurpuff isn't a good poke to use in the meta. I'm just saying that it needs team support except on very rare occasions in which it can...

Yeah thanks for specifying it. I remember the name from somewhere(maybe from the beginning of the thread), but didn't know its power and additional affects. What Hoopa needed was a powerful ghost type attack. Giving it a psyschock with special damage and lower PP isn't good, even if it ignores...

All I was trying to express is that it is not a good sweeper. If you couldn't understand what I said before, I'll simplify it for you: All of slurpuff's existing sets are shit and no one in their right minds would use it when there are other better special and physical sweepers in the tier. I...

Slurpuff really has no real way to sweep if you discount it's BD or CM set with a sitrus berry or red card, which is too much, if not completely, dependent on team support. Usually, it's not worth it to use a Pokemon like him when you have Poke's that can sweep with almost no team support at all.

Yeah but still, HP ice is still a good way to deal with gliscor and even though it is a bit outclassed, it does have great coverage and still can dent a lot of teams because no one would be expecting a mixed or specially oriented Infernape.

I agree that since slurpuff can run both physical and special sets make it more versatile. But that doesn't change the fact that it still requires a hell of a lot of team support and it is going to be dependent on the skill of the player to predict a super effective attack and keep it safe. It...

Infernape has also got access to HP ice which means he can easily take out physically defensive Landorus-T and Gliscor. And I'm pretty sure having grass knot helps against Poke's like milotic, quagsire and maybe even azumarill.

I have also been using mixed infernape and it has actually worked out really well for me. He's got pretty nice coverage and STAB CC 2HKO's eviolite chansey. I use nasty plot instead of HP Ice and it does have a bit loss of coverage, but has a lot of power, especially with LO. I didn't notice...

Well, I guess Hoopa's gonna need to set up a bit before it can actually sweep an opponent completely but I'm sure he'll get the opportunity to st up after he switches into a scarfed meinshao's or terrakion's fighting type move or a scarfed gardevoir's or latios' psychic type move or maybe even...

I completely agree with all the nominations. Gligar can wall a majority of pokemon, krookodile is a boss and Granbull deserves to drop to B(It just isn't as good as it used to be).

For me, I like the majority of the designs but I pretty much don't exactly like the concept of mega-evolution. I don't know why I don't like it as much, but a part of me says that I would have liked the concept a whole lot better if all the Pokemon were given equal importance and all were given...

That's what I was also thinking. But still, once the main threats are taken care of by its teammates, I'm sure Hoopa will get a chance to sweep.

At least it's got a nice immunity to normal, fighting and psychic, which you got to agree, the last two are really well used and are ,to a lesser extent, some of the most common types of attacks, especially in OU. I'm certain that it might have a small niche in OU, especially once knock off...
