  1. Announcement SM OU Suspect Process, Round 2 - Dirt

    I have been thinking about Dugtrio's place in the meta for some time. I'll get to the point: I do not think Dugtrio itself is the problem; in fact, arena trap is why it is even used at all. Even with the buff Dugtrio stat-wise is unimpressive, has few resistances and only one STAB type, and has...
  2. Resource SM OU Viability Ranking Thread

    The reason why Cofagrigus is ranked is for its niche in Trick Room teams. That's its only role though, so it's not very high on the list. But, it does have a role.

    Just one nomination Rotom-H to C Rotom-H cannot rid itself of the fact that it is for most teams outclassed by Rotom-W, due to its Stealth Rock weakness. However, putting it in the D rank dismisses its one outstanding role, which is its ability to generate momentum off of steel types. The...

    I can find a careful celesteela for you in exchange for the careful buzzwole.
  5. Simple Questions/Requests - Mark 48 (Minor Pokemon Trades, Item Requests etc GO HERE) (NO HACKING)

    Have two naive Pheromosas, looking for a careful and an adamant Buzzwole. I haven't checked the IVs. I don't need the IVs checked for the Buzzwoles because I'm just going to hyper train them.
  6. Other Stall

    I mean, it sounds interesting, but besides the will-o-wisp (and perhaps the greater speed) there is no reason to use it over sylveon, which just tanks hits better and has bigger wishes.

    I have used Clefable as a cleric before, and here are my opinions on the matter: - The only reason to use clefable is Unaware. Besides that, there are much better clerics to choose from. - I am not going to sugar-coat it. Its wishes are borderline pathetic. - It also does not have the greatest...
  8. Other Stall

    Agree. Forretress is absolutely useless in the current metagame. Anything can spinblock it, its complete setup bait, numerous things force it out, and also it has no reliable recovery, meaning its amazing defense in the long run does not serve it well. It's almost sad to see how far Forretress...

    I guarantee they are viable. Look up on their threads if you want to. Edited :)

    Let me take my shot at this. Vaporeon vs. Alomomola as Bulky Water-type Wish Passers Vaporeon @ Leftovers Ability: Water Absorb EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD Bold Nature - Wish - Protect - Scald - Roar / Toxic / Heal Bell Alomomola @ Leftovers Ability: Regenerator EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4...

    How do I embed pokemon pictures in my posts? I would like to post in some threads but I am not sure how to go ahead without knowing this information.
  12. Other Stall

    It's the unaware users, clefable and quagsire. Although they are not very bulky, they are incredibly important to stall, since they counter boosters. They do have reliable recovery though, so they generally stick around for some time.
  13. Baton Pass - its role in the metagame and possible solutions to nerf full Baton Pass chains

    I am alive after, like, 2 months of being dead! Let's get to it: I am pro-nerf. As a stall player, I often lost against baton pass teams (and for some idiotic reason I just assumed that I was just bad at pokemon). Plenty of arguments earlier have been made in terms of stall v. baton pass but...
  14. Move Hold Hands, Thousand Arrows, Thousand Waves

    If Zygarde indeed gets Thousand Arrows, it will become easily the best parashuffler, hands down (if it wasn't that already). Glare allows it to paralyze everything but electric types, all of which would be hit by Thousand Arrows. Even things like Thundurus, Zapdos, etc would be hit...

    I don't mean to derail the thread, but honestly I expected more from both of them.
  16. Pokémon Hoopa

    Wow. Ok... Lemme think possible uses for this guy... Extremely uncomfortable speed tier and low defense, gets mauled by any priority except mach punch and vaccum wave. But then again, why would you use priority on something so slow? If it gets Shadow Sneak, it could be more useful, but...

  18. Pokémon Diancie

    I actually thought about rock polish for some time but then I realized that usually Trick Room should do the job better, unless it screws with the rest of your team
  19. Pokémon Diancie

    I am so honestly disappointed right now... I mean that movepool... yeew. The calm mind set could have been good if it had a reliable recovery move. It could also be used like a CroCune, but its most spammable move is not boosted by calm mind. It could be used as a bulky pivot (maybe with AV)...
