Probably a bit of a silly question but...what exactly makes Liepard viable in this meta? I can't seem to piece together anything beyond Fake Out+Knock Off+Prankster T-wave, and surely there are other pokes that can do that? Not that I'm complaining, I love the heck out of Liepard, I just can't...

I'm going to be visiting this thread a LOT. Thanks for the compilation, this is so useful!

Gonna start SRing for my Rayquaza, and I don't want to waste it. What nature/moveset should I be aiming for, or would it be smarter to wait for a little while and see how the rest of the metagame develops?

I admit, my first reaction was something along the lines of "well, there goes the f*cking neighborhood." Lucky I still have that shiny Rayquaza event to pick up. SRing for a good one was always going to be a massive pain in the ass, so the difference in now having to SR for a flawless one is...

Oh dear, I'm so sorry I let this go for a while - thank you so much! This definitely looks completely doable, and I really do appreciate you picking it up. I'll play around with it a bit and let you know how it goes!

...Derp. It was late, I was tired.

So...after some experimenting, I've come to the realization that I've been overlooking a rather large part of my teambuilding: eventually, I want to get this team on my physical cartridge, and I have no way to SAV. Which means that, to put it simply, if I have to SR or trade with someone else to...

Don't worry about it, I'm just pleased you accepted it :) I don't mind the team being basic (though getting HP Ice on Thundurus might be tricky if I want these on my physical game - as I mentioned with the second core, I'm awful at getting certain hidden powers, and I don't have a way to SAV any...

Ksh13 That's certainly fine. I've been doing a bit of experimenting with Competitive+RestTalk (since I realized that Rest allows her to not care about status anyway, so might as well go for the Sp.Atk boost), but if it's too gimmicky then by all means, go ahead. Would you mind trying out Mirror...

I'm trying to start putting together my first competitive team for VGC, and there are a couple cores bouncing around in my head that I'd like to play around with. The first is more of a defensive core featuring Heatran and RestTalk Milotic - the second is a double-fairy offensive core starring...

So, I kinda want to put together my first VGC team for next year to try and compete, but I feel very...restricted in my team choices. It seems like, in order to be competitive, I have to use some combination of Landorus-T, Heatran, Thundurus, and Mega Kangaskhan (and possibly Cresselia, too). I...

Well, P2 is a normal type, so if it traces Flash Fire...

My apologies to everyone - I didn't intend to derail the thread or make it go off-topic. Given the ubiquity of talk I've been seeing around the rest of the UU section about Mega Aerodactyl and how the opportunity cost to use other megas is generally higher, I guess I was under the impression...

I'm almost wondering if Mega Aereodactyl might get suspected at one point for sheer usage. As others have brought up, it's easily one of - if not the - best mega in the tier, and it's presence is incredibly threatening to the point where every team needs to have something to deal with it. IMO...

Thanks! Would a Relaxed nature and Flamethrower over Defog work similarly? I'm kind of lacking for decent special attackers at the moment, and with Nidoqueen carrying rocks and Forretress carrying spikes+rapid spin I'd like to keep my own hazards on the field.

I'm running a Curselax right now and I can confirm that it's an absolute beast. If you can get a couple Curses up, even fighting types don't really bother it all that much. Speaking of dealing with fighting types, I've got a bit of a problem with that at the moment. My team has a bit of a...

What about +2 Jolly with max speed?

Bumping...I'd really appreciate some more input re: who to replace with Hydreigon if I'm replacing Crobat with Florges, as well as how well a +2 Tyrantrum fares against scarfers, particularly Mienshao.

I'd be interesting in seeing where varients of Tyrantrum fall on here, particularly scarf vs. dd vs. rock polish (or even adamant vs. jolly)
