Okay, implemented. Now almost identical to the post I wrote back in February.

Can you tell me why you think that first set is so bad? Have you used it at all? The problem with any non-BJ Solar Power set is that you can't guarantee even one safe switch into Fletchling with sun up. Fletchling's Acrobatics does 10+ damage 7 out of 16 times, which gives Fletchling a 2HKO...

"NP Misdreavus is very easy to set up with and subsequently sweep." Can you give some examples? Because this is not consistent with my experience at all. The only pokemon I've used recently that I find Misdreavus has an easy time setting up on is Trubbish. And since Trubbish forms a great core...

Changes implemented.

Okay well I've been testing BJ Helioptile and here's what I've found so far: -Definitely better than the Scarf set -Volt Switch/Thunderbolt are obvious -I never ended up using HP Ground and HP Grass. They're just too weak. Besides, Chinchou isn't really a big deal for sun teams because it's...

Are you still interested in Gen VI LC battles? I don't have a full team, but I would make one if I knew there was someone for me to battle.

The thing with HP Ground (or HP Grass) on the Scarf set is that even if you predict the switch, HP fails to OHKO even the frailest Chinchou, so your opponent can just switch out and now you're locked onto a 60 BP non-STAB move, which isn't going to do much regardless of Solar Power. I'll switch...

How might the players for a rejects team be chosen?

I don't know if I think BP needs to be nerfed or not, but if we DO nerf it, we should ban what's actually broken. I've seen the following suggestions: Espeon/Scolipede: Neither of these is remotely broken on its own. I understand that people want to avoid a complex ban, but banning a pokemon...

jpw234 I mostly agree with your post, but I think there's one important difference between Baton Pass and other playstyles. There is only a right way to make a Baton Pass team because there is a right way to play with a Baton Pass team. You could pretty much program a computer to play Baton...

Once again, I am NOT suggesting that any of these things can switch in, or that there's really anything special about them. Nothing is strong defensively against LO Krow, but there are plenty of things that can take a hit and KO. Is LO Krow going to want to come in to revenge kill Ponyta...

I was talking exclusively about LO Krow. And I think you missed my point: I wasn't suggesting that any of Ponyta, Trubbish, and Lickitung are counters to LO Krow (in fact, as I mentioned above, I have been using them recently for reasons that have nothing to do with Murkrow). Just that they're...

On Murkrow: I think this is especially true of LO Krow, which I've personally never had much of an issue with. As long as you have a couple of generally bulky things that can semi-deal with LO Krow (i.e. I've been using Trubbish, Lickitung, and Ponyta, none of which I selected for my team with...

Only thing I'm going to say about Murkrow: LO Krow (by itself at least) is not the problem. While it's certainly powerful, anything it fails to OHKO is going to KO it back. Plus LO Brave Bird leads to a TON of recoil damage, so it isn't going to last long. If Murkrow should be banned, it...

I will admit I have not been playing recently, but when I was, this was not consistent with my experience at all. My problem with Meditite is that it can be reasonably tanky thanks to Eviolite, weaknesses to only Ghost and Flying moves, and decently reliable recovery in Drain Punch (Meditite...
