    Personally I'd run Flamethrower or Firebalst over fire punch. But Really, Weaknite right now is very prepared for in the current meta. As for Yzard ... It sort of just comes down to murdering its face before it can murder your face. It's still x4 weak to rock, so a rock slide or stone edge...

    Mega Mawile is a tough customer. I find the best way to defeat it is a bulky offensive pokemon. If you can speed creep her with a bulky fighting type, it's ideal, but that's tricky. Blaziken is really good against Mega Mawile in WiFi, but on a Sand team, you can use Hippodown to try to brute...

    Whirlwind on Mandibuzz works like a charm. It now ignores subs and accuracy/evasion. If it's their last mon and they are just stalling, she can run out the clock on ANY evasion staller with ease. I run her with Foul Play/Whirlwind/Taunt/Roost (somtimes I drop Whirlwind for Knock Off). EDIT...

    Battle Spot Special Season 2: VGC 2014 Rules!

    Wow. Well so much for that. I was hoping to avoid the flood of hackmons in Free and Rated Random battles, but apprently they are in this too. Real smooth GF.

    After a good sleep too cool my head and think about the influx of shenangins and old legends, I am having fun again. And to my joy, the use of a personal favorite is helping a great deal. I've swapped Mega Mom for Mega Aggron, and It's actually doing wonderfully. Obviously I can't bring him...

    If you do the current event competition, the VGC doubles 2014 thing, he's right. That's limited ot Kalos Dex pokemon only. But Rated Random Battles right now is basically the same as gen 5, except with x/Y god and Zygarde banlisted. All Megas except Mewtwo (obviously) legal. All movesets...

    Rated. I haven't even looked at free since pokebank opened up. I wonder whats lurking in there now. Incidently, I was around 1800 before it went down, and now im at like 1450 post reset. I don't have access to things like Heatran and the Swords of Justice (My nephew broke my W2 cart and I'm...

    There are homebrew comunities and methods to hack the 3DS (there are pleanty of screenshots of hacked in Mega-Latias and Mega-Latios and the un-revealed legendaries) but I'm not sure how pokebank suddenly allowed them to break the system and get the hacks through. I just know i've seen at least...

    Nintendos anti-hack is a complete and total failure. I've seen, in th last 3 hours, perfect stat lgendaries in virtually every single fight, as well as a couple illegal combos including siesmic toss/wish Mega Khan and Rock Head Tyrantum with a choice scarf. I'm offically quitting BS Wifi...

    For the first time ever, after enjoying five generations of Pokemon, I give up. I tried to enjoy odd combos, building different teams and using lesser known pokemon to have some fun, and It's simply not fun anymore. Wifi is just Kangaskhan, The Fighting now. If i don't run my Khan counters, I...

    Just make sure if you are using an evasion strategy to watch out for Auto-hit moves. Some Weaviles run Feint attack in case of it, and of course there is Lucario's Aura Sphere (though Muk can briefly tank it, and Drifblim is immune). And finally, Haze is the ultimate answer to evasion, though...

    Kangaskhanite Tiering Discussion [+Demographics Poll Added to OP]

    I think this may have literally been Nintendo and Gamefreaks intent. However, as multiple past examples have proven (cough smash bros cough) Nintendo does not give a flying crap about a competitive meta or balance. Giving Blaziken a Mega almost feels like a slap in the face to the 6v6...

    The problem with Sableye is that while 1v1, Sableeye really shuts MegaKhan down, Khan still has a team. More and more I'm loving Espeon (granted this is 3v3 Wifi meta) as a partner for Khan. Sableye is becoming massively popular to stop the wrath of Khan, and Espeon rocking choice specs/scarf...

    This has been covered. MegaZam actually can come in, and with disable, shut down sucker punch on a good prediction and threaten back with parental bond itself. The problem is that, it is then immediatly killed with priority on a revenge kill. Or you guess wrong and get OHKO'd anyways.

    You switch Trevenant into Pup, except it's crunch. You will-o-wisp next turn, but get crunched again and are now dead. Mega Khan has taken 0 damage. Now what?

    I primarly play Wifi, and not Showdown and the 6v6 Meta. It's been said once before but I will go ahead and repeat it, the 3v3 Ranked Wifi ladder is literally All Kanga + support, Kanga with 2 Kanga counters, or 3 Kanga counters above 1800. As in literally 99% of teams. Offical Nintendo Wifi...

    I don't know what my FS is, but I have a Mandibuzz in my roster right now with perfect defensive IVs. I can try to clone a baby out of her if you want. EDIT in response to the above: Magic Bounce Espeon is actually pretty nice in Wifi. I rarely use her, but sometimes you see an opposing line...

    Pokémon Gardevoir

    Normal Gardevoir is a very good special tank/cleric. Trace is fantastic and a wonderful suprise ability for a defensive pokemon. You can trace things like Flash Fire or levitate for immunities, or horrifying offensive options liek adaptibilty and Parental Bond, or intimdate to reflect the...

    Pokémon Kangaskhan

    I run both. PuP/Return/Crunch/SP. Rocky helmet Ferrothorn can be obnoxious, but I have other mons for him anyways. Crunch and SP because the safeest way to stop PuP is to switch a ghost in. This is usually obvious, and if they switch a ghost into what they think is PuP, and eat Crunch...

    Pokémon Mandibuzz

    Mega Venasuar isnt weak to fire and ice, and Ferrothorn covers bug and flying. It's actually a pretty solid grass tag team.
