This should probably move to the old mons thread. That aside, Mamo is an all around good pokemon, despite havin quite many weaknesses and all, last Gen it was basically an "anti-meta" thread, and a good one at it, too. Now it should be able to check stuff such as Aegislash (beware of switchin...

I personally use HP Ground on this, after a Leaf Storm boost, LO and Stealth rocks up, it should deal a massive amount of damage to Heatran, don't have a calculator that allows me to set the HP to 60, but with the 70 BP and rocks up it deals 112,43% MINIMUM to the specially bulkiest of Heatran...

That actually sounds .. viable. Should go check it out, to me this one sounds as a more viable choice than LO (which, graunted, is usable but of course relies a lot into gamblin that your opponent will except the scarf set, which in turn is affected with how many ppl will be tryin the same thing...

That could work .. for a while. Until there's such a high number of people doin that that it becomes predictable. Still, if both ideas carry on, then it could be a bit more interestin competitively, as you'd have to guess and predict whether it's the standard scarf or a lure set. Of course, the...

I think I will switch to CB Talonflame for a while, did some calcs and it does quite a satisfying amount of damage with BB. An example, it cleanly OHKOes Tornadus. With 252Attack/252 speed and Adamant (max speed to outsped the many Talonflames that don't invest in speed), I think it could work...

I think Ditto's usability lies strictly in the use of a scarf in order to take down troublesome mons. Without it you have a 50-50 chance to outspeed or not, and let's face it, if you are goin to use Ditto, might as well do so that he surely does what he should do, to go first and kill the...

Sableye didn't really gained anythin much, so it should go to the old mon thread, I think. That aside, the buff to WoW is pretty good, but that's all it got, also it lost it's niche as a pokemon without weaknesses. I think I will be usin the same spread I was usin in Gen 5 on that dude (who I...

While that is true, variants that don't invest in Defense (or a lot of HP) risk bein heavily damaged from boosted hits (so basically, don't let it take a boost before you bring in Rotom-W). But yeah, overall Rotom-W seems to be one, if not the, best counters to this thing, so long as you don't...

Well, that looks quite unique .. I kinda want to check it out and see if it actually works. For you to post it here I assume that it does what you state that it does. Still Life Orb will probably be the better solution. Sure, Shell Bell can in theory recover more than leftovers, but Talonflame...

Well ... I did came across one dude that outsped mine despite havin almost perfect EVs on it soo .. that makes two .. unless if you was that one person. :P now about the thing before .. Sorry then, thought you suggested that we outspeed Terrakion too. Well, if Pinsir becomes a common thing...

Terrakion resists Flare Blitz, your best bet with it is it bein weakened or you boosted enough, so you can strike it with a priority BB. Otherwise, you can't do much to it. Therefore I don't see you needin to outspeed Terrakion's max speed. Base 105's should be the benchmark imo, for, once...

My personal opinion is to hit speeds to outspeed positive base 100s, sooo .. 329 could work (while havin Adamant), or just enough to outspeed 105's, like .. 340 speed (with Adamant again), so you can hit MegaPinsir first. You won't find any steels to be faster than base 100, anyway, and if you...

Hmmm, true, looked it up, didn't knew they were nerfed to 30% boost. That kinda sucks. Well, guess we can replace Acrobatics with Brave Bird then, and with Life Orb (which will hit insanely hard but get you killed fast), Lum Berry or Lefties. The principle of the set posted above remains the...

Talonflame @ Flying Gem Ability: Gale Wings EVs: 48 HP / 252 Atk / 208 Speed Adamant Nature - Flare Blitz - Acrobatics - Swords Dance - Roost / Tailwind The EVs allow it to outspeed MegaPinsir, and therefore it's Quick Attack and destroy it with a boosted Acrobatics. This thing is a real...

That depends on the set you will be usin, I believe. I personally don't think that Scolipede has the bulk to be goin the full defensive route, but then again, never tried a defensive one so I can't be certain. For sweepin/cleaner purposes, either Jolly/Adamant. If you can reliably take down...

I guess you have a point. Maybe it's too soon for me to think that Starmie has a 50/50 chance to drop. Although for the time bein, Aegislash is everywhere, so that's quite the pressure. But, I think that the hype will eventually wear off and that Aegis won't be used that often (kinda like...

To be honest, never had much trouble killin Deoxys-D in OU before it was banned. And by killin I mean before it could liter my field with spikes. I think that he's a bit overrated, and could definately drop right back, especially since removin hazards has become easier now (assumin you don't...

It's a shame, Starmie is one of my favorite pokemon, but this Gen will be a real test. I'd say it's 50/50 about whether it will remain OU or drop a tier.

Snorlax @ Choice Band Ability: Thick Fat EVs: 252 Atk / 56 Def / 200 SpD Adamant / Brave Nature: - Return - Earthquake - Fire Punch - Pursuit / Crunch Classic CB set that I was usin in Gen 5, it should work just as well now too, especially with some trick room support. I don't see a reason to...

While I perfectly agree about Metagross, yeah, that thing will probably go UU, it sucks a bit but it seems unavoidable with all these nerfs, I doubt that Jirachi will drop in usage that much. Yeah, it will drop a bit, I'd say, but it's paraflinch-you-to-death-as-you-can't-do-a-thing-about-it...
