    Metagame np: DOU Stage 3 - Smooth Criminal | Marshadow Remains DOU!

    Another point against Kommo-o and its Z-Move is the subject of the thread. Marshadow. Consider that the Z-Move increases the stats by a stage each and that Marshadow's specila move is one that steals the stats first. Between that and Fairies means that the Kommo-o player would need to account...

    Data Usage-Based Tier Update for June 2017 (Jul @ #71) (Aug @ #82)

    I see. Though i should point out that Azelf is listed there. So about 30 Non-legendaries which almost flips OU's ratios. I cna't wait to see Ubers list of non-special pokemon :P Another interesting thing to note from the usage stats is the rise of Pelliper of OU. I wonder what happened that...

    Data Usage-Based Tier Update for June 2017 (Jul @ #71) (Aug @ #82)

    I can imagine "OU player" becoming a by-word for "Mary Sue" in fanfic-centered circles for that reason. Though the recent games forcing players to catch certain legendaries might also be an issue for that. BTW I wonder what the top 50 for UU would look like without Legendaries or Megas?

    Metagame np: DOU Stage 3 - Smooth Criminal | Marshadow Remains DOU!

    On the one hand The point of the tiers to case the widest net possible, to allow the most amount of pokemon to be used to the best of their ability. With that said, this is also where there are multiple tiers in the first place. Then again the metagame is still a week off the Swagger ban. Are...

    Fantasy core huh? Tell me. What Megas would work well for such cores?

    Metagame Mega Evolution in Sun & Moon

    Speaking of which. Is Earth Power considered a necessity, or can a pokemon that knows Ground-type moves (Like Heatran or maybe Landorus/Hydreigon) cover for that (No tutors in S/M and I didn't have the chance to use them in ORAS)?

    Metagame Mega Evolution in Sun & Moon

    It does make some sense. Since Talonflame nerfed and the Tapu themselves scaring off Dark-types, Diancie does need another Niche. With that said, the only other Mega with Magic Bounce is Sableye and Diancie herself can Learn Stealth Rock, so I want to ask, would this combination with offensive...

    Metagame Mega Evolution in Sun & Moon

    Considering Carbink's SM entries, I find this that Mega Diancie is able to take revenge by Making Sableye run to be very pleasing.

    Metagame Mega Evolution in Sun & Moon

    Guesses for the codes for the last 2 batches Rock related codes for the TTar set: Kinda inevitable since Tyranitar, Aggron and Diancie are part rock type. I expect at least Aggronite in that batch EON (for lati@s) or a variant of LEGENDARY (Lati@s and Diancie) In the unlikely event they go by...

    Metagame Mega Evolution in Sun & Moon

    That leaves the following stones then Latias Latios Diancie Ampharos Aggron Altaria I think this will likely play out like this. Two of the stones (except Diancite, and its likely that the twin dragons will get theirs at the same time) will be given out in the Universal code for the tiny...

    Pokkén Tournament

    I'm interested to see that as well. I have a few ideas of my own for potential pokemon for this game.

    Know Your Niche - Round 19 (see: page 12, post 279)

    Garchomp @ Yache Berry Nature: Jolly 4 HP/252 Attack/252 Speed Moves: -Earthquake -Stealth Rock -Outrage -Swords Dance Its the standard Swords Dance Set, though Choice Scarf variants work if Zone isn't equipped with a balloon. One of Garchomp's types is Ground, a type that hits Magnezone for...

    Metagame Mega Evolution in Sun & Moon

    I asked because I felt that that format might be Mega Gallade's only shot at competitive relevance if it gets stuck in BL here. I apologize for bringing it up here.

    Metagame Mega Evolution in Sun & Moon

    I'd ask about VGC, but I don't know if there's any Mythical Pokemon that might had been a problem for Gallade to face. And I do know that pokemon like Aegislash (immune to fighting, strong on Psychics), Blaziken (the accelerating menace), Pheremosa (Bug-type stab and higher offences) and...

    Metagame Mega Evolution in Sun & Moon

    Teambuilding, right. What would you think would be a good partner to Mega Diancie? Bulu can make the omnipresent earthquakes hit less in return for having Diancie take that much more damage from Grass attacks, but I'm wondering if Meloetta (mosty because I'd like to make such a team work and her...

    Metagame Mega Evolution in Sun & Moon

    In the case of Diancie, the normal form has good defenses even in the mega (though the 50 HP is a bit of a hindrance. I was asking if the rise of special attackers and the decrease of uses from the threats listed in the XY analysis (Brave birb and Zard X) made a Hasty nature more preferable for...

    Metagame Mega Evolution in Sun & Moon

    Okay here goes. I want to know if a Hasty nature might be preferable to Naive at this point, on the one hand, Talonflame got nerfed hard and Zard X is similar falling out of favor as the answer is. While Koko and Lele seemed to be more often than not Special Attackers (Koko having a higher Atk...

    Metagame Mega Evolution in Sun & Moon

    Thanks for the answer, but I think my question (About Mega Diancie, a Mega Evolution of a Mythical pokemon, as well as natures) might fall outside that purview then. Though a supposed a related question is in order. How often has Mega Zard (both versions) been used?

    Metagame Mega Evolution in Sun & Moon

    I have a question, but first I want to ask if its okay to ask about unreleased mega stones here?

    Metagame Mega Evolution in Sun & Moon

    Abomasnow, Manetric and Tyrranitar stones are the next tournament participation prizes. That means that the only thing stopping TTar-M from being viable is if the Lopunnite is released with the Steelix and Pidgiot stones.
