What is the easiest/quickest way to get 999 Gimmighoul coins to evolve it?

Barraskewda seems pretty unreal in rain teams. Its speed means it can run Adamant and still outspeed everything, and base 123 attack Adamant Liquidation in the rain is going to hit like a truck. Even has Close Combat for Ferrothorn, be interesting if it has anything to hit Toxapex. Be...

Stall runs hardly any of those mons in reality. You are just listing mons, but most of them aren't on stall. Sableye is hardly fodder for Heracross, in fact it's Sableye that makes it all the harder to do damage with Heracross as it's immune 2 of your STABs off the bat and Knock Off doesn't come...

While Heracross is very strong, and maybe the best mon in the tier right now. The idea that it invalidates stall is a complete myth. That Heracross set is everywhere yet a number of the top teams on the ladder are stall. Heracross doesn't simply 6-0 stall like people are making out. Firstly it...

Pyukumuku is better for stall than Quagsire. It's just far bulkier. Quagsire loses to most special attackers, Pyukumuku doesn't. Momentum sinks really don't matter on stall when the idea is to have answers for everything in the first place. The key combination to why stall is so good is because...

You absolutely need to run Espeon on stall. Without it you basically just lose to any taunt user. Stall composition starts imo with Pyukumuku, Espeon, Umbreon, Gligar. Beyond that it depends what you are trying to do. You can run Shedinja stall, though it's not necessarily easy with all the...

My early thoughts are Kingdra needs to go ASAP. Imo it's always Kingdra that pushes rain over the top, and it's the same here. Kingdra literally 2HKO's everything while outspeeding everything. Crawdaunt also seems incredibly broken. I'm actually a little surprised it wasn't instantly quick...

Isn't the problem with this that Tornadus runs a similar set better without getting so bodied by rocks. You have a STAB fire move, but Superpower/Focus Blast actually hit most of the checks harder. I would add Gigalith as one of the top checks to this thing given how common it is and how little...

I find this Vikavolt set a little weird. It requires massive support for a mon that isn't even that bulky. I'm not sure Vikavolt is really that good, but it does have 1 niche. Combined with a pursuit user it pretty much 6-0's all the stall teams going around the ladder. Though that ties in with...

While Parting Shot itself is good, the mons that get it are very average. The problem I always find with Alolan Persian is it just doesn't do enough, even using Parting Shot it's not often like you can just go straight to a sweeper as whatever is coming in still has to take a hit. It's also...

I put together a threat list for everyone. Of course it's not definitive, especially at the bottom end, with Z-moves now there's just so much niche stuff that you can't be prepared for everything. The ranks are just my opinion, even though I've used viability style rankings to list everything...

Nidoking doesn't do a lot vs out and out stall. Heracross can in theory do work if Gligar isn't running Acrobatics. At its core Pyukumuku stall is no different from stall we've seen in the past, it's hardly a new concept. Ie. it's reliant on an Unaware mon to stop set up sweepers. The problem...

I realise this will be somewhat controversial, but Pyukumuku really should be on the watch list for banning next month. Not seen this mentioned so far, but honestly Pyukumuku stall is way too centralising, and Pyukumuku is the offender that walls way too much. If it doesn't fit the defensive...

Hi Joey here is my RU Trick Room team you can use if you like that is somewhat heat ;). Love the vids. "Vichka Azarenka Trick Room" http://pastebin.com/2NauAt3k

Here is my TR team I took to #2 on the ladder (I am Vichka Azarenka). I will post it here as I honestly feel like most people using Trick Room aren't getting the most out of it right now. Firstly I feel like you have a number of options on Trick Room. I initially tested many options in the make...

Togekiss will almost certainly move up. I'm surprised it's not UU anyway, but no way does it not end up in UU. Now they banned Mega Slowbro and the dragons I'd expect the fire types to move up too. Ie. Entei and Darmanitan. I will be surprised if we don't get new spinners or defoggers. There...

Genesect needs to go imo. The number of checks it has are too limited, and it can overcome all of them with one set or another. It's incredibly hard to pin down due to U-Turn, and because of U-Turn it can do a great job at wearing down teams until it can sweep. I've seen a wide variety of sets...

These imo are the best 2 sets: Bewear @ Rocky Helmet Ability: Fluffy Happiness: 0 EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def Adamant Nature - Swords Dance - Frustration - Hammer Arm - Ice Punch / Shadow Claw / Toxic Bewear @ Choice Band / Normalium Z / Fightinium Z / Ghostium Z Ability...

The thing is you can claim Decidueye is versatile, but it isn't really in OU, because nearly everything it does is done better by something else. Every single offensive set is just terrible in OU. So the only real set is a defensive defog set that is also a spin blocker. Such a set faces huge...

What I find funny atm is how the metagame has actually shaped up that Pheromosa never seems to do a great deal anymore. The metagame has shaped up that its hard checks are everywhere (Aegislash, Toxapex, Alolan Marowak). Protect is also being run more than previous gens. Whether that's enough to...
