Think about what Greninja struggles with. Greninja hates things like Chansey and Sylveon, so it appreciates things that can muscle past stall and special walls.

It's good enough to be in A+ It has an amazing movepool, outspeeds and KOs so many key threats with strong SE attacks. Mega Mawile is also A+, it has its flaws. Keldeo is A+, and it has its flaws. It takes out Lando-I reliably, takes out Aegi with a little prior damage, takes out Bisharp, takes...

It should be banned. I don't see how this in Ubers is different from OU. In both tiers, it is completely luck-based and uncompetitive, not to mention gimmicky. Please implement Swagger Clause. Thank you. It's not so much about how an aspect (in this case swagger) is different in ubers than it...

It is hard but not impossibly hard for Lucario to set up. In the hands of an experienced player, Luke can be a total monster when it gets to +2. Lucario really shouldn't be dropping below B rank, and I mean B as in B+, B, and B- I mean, come on, are you really going to be comparing Luke to...

Why do people use Pikachu in OU? And not just any Pikachu, Pikachu with no Light Ball. Oh great.

Well since that's the only one that you have I think it should just be the typical EVs for a normal Deo-S. You definitely want max speed, that's for sure. I don't know what moveset you want though. I suggest an attacking moveset with Knock Off, Superpower, Ice Beam, and a Psychic STAB (Psyshock...

Hi. I think the RMT (Rate My Team) Forum is another good place for advice on a team :)

Lots of things outspeed Greninja with a modest nature. As for the power Greninja gets STAB with Protean to all of its attacks, and a Life Orb boost, which makes it a very strong Pokemon. It also has very high Base Power moves that are super effective against many Pokemon in OU, such as Hydro...

Offensive MegaSaur is a beast, but MegaSaur itself started being a bit underrated when Greninja started running Extrasensory, Landy started running Psychic, etc. People were all like, "MegaSaur can be beaten, it's not amazing anymore." The fact that Pokemon will run one move just for it shows...

Modest isn't worth it because one of Greninja's main selling points is its speed. It's getting outsped by so many things with a modest nature lol. You could've KOed a Latios with Dark Pulse, but now you're taking a Draco Meteor to the face. You could've outsped a Terrakion and KOed with Hydro...

Never use Modest Greninja. Ever. Period. Choice specs Greninja is bad because you already have power with STAB and high base-power moves. You're basically taking away your wonderful coverage and locking it into one move, which in kind of pointless... Those calculations above are kind of...

Please just stop with the gimmicky physical sets and sets with Torrent. Physical Greninja is just so terrible. Please, let's just all stick to Special Sets, the only sets it really should be running. Torrent is also so terrible, no point in even mentioning it. It doesn't take that much...

Just a tiny little thing to say: I think Mega Charizard X should be placed in front of Mega Charizard Y in the OP, since everything else is in alphabetical order. Just makes things seem more professional and neater to me.

Might as well take advantage of Magician, or at least try to... Hoopa @ Sitrus Berry Ability: Magician EVs: 252 HP, 4 Defense, 252 Special Attack -Substitute -Psyshock -Focus Blast -Shadow Ball Basically try to force something out, get a substitute, and regain health with Sitrus Berry. Then...

At the time, we didn't have Greninja in any of the calculating machines, so we modified Starmie's stats and changed the typing. That's pretty much it.

This thing has a shot at being OU, but just some more calculations against the top threats of UU. 252 Atk Sheer Force Darmanitan Flare Blitz vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Hoopa: 409-483 (112.3 - 132.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO 252 SpA Chandelure Shadow Ball vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Hoopa: 456-540 (125.2 - 148.3%)...

Yeah, Ubers ladder is pretty terrible at times. You have to get up really high to battle semi-decent players, or at least that's what I've heard from friends who are Ubers players. I guess the reason for this is because the newer players think that the tier with the most powerful pokemon is the...

Knock off is becoming more common on Azumarill, and 252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Knock Off vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Hoopa: 792-932 (217.5 - 256%) -- guaranteed OHKO Shocking, isn't it? Meanwhile, some other calculations... 252 Atk Teravolt Kyurem-B Outrage vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Hoopa...

For the last time, Greninja is more suited to being a Special Attacker. It's special moves are stronger than its physical moves (i.e. Waterfall to Hydro Pump, Rock Slide to Ice Beam, etc.). As some other people have mentioned, any decent player is going to switch to their physical wall as soon...

Mega Blastoise as well.
