  1. Other XY OU Viability Ranking Thread (B- and C+ Pokemon discussion)

    Just popping in real quick to say that I've been wrecking faces with specs pixilate sylveon. Hyper Voice hits REALLY hard, and Psyshock and Shadow Ball work well for coverage. I'm not entirely sure on the final move, and have been wavering between Hidden Power (A type super effective against...
  2. Item Assault Vest

    Posted this on the creative/underrated thread, I think this set has a lot of potential: Hitmontop @ Assault Vest Intimidate Brave 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD Close Combat Mach Punch Rapid Spin Earthquake / Thief Intimidate augments top's very respectable defense, and Assault Vest charges up top's...
  3. Other Creative / Underrated Sets Thread (Read the thread, NO SHITTY GIMMICKS)

    Here's my personal hidden gem. Hitmontop @ Assault Vest Intimidate Brave 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD Close Combat Mach Punch Rapid Spin Earthquake / Thief With an Assault Vest boosting up special defense and Intimidate boosting up defense, this top can come in on any number of threats and spin...
  4. Kangaskhanite Tiering Discussion [+Demographics Poll Added to OP]

    Useless afterwards? Even after taking 60-70% from M-Khan (At +1, which assumes the "correct" prediction of not mega evolving and using a Scrappy PUP), it will still TANK THE SECOND CRUNCH after burn, and be able to get off a Pain Split from 10-15% health. Not useless at all. It's a solid check...
  5. Kangaskhanite Tiering Discussion [+Demographics Poll Added to OP]

    If we're talking counters/Checks to Mega-K, both Spiritomb and Gourgeist Super count. Both can switch into unboosted Crunches, survive the second crunch and burn it, making it useless. If they switch into a Power-Up Punch, they become counters as opposed to checks, and are able to sub up and...
  6. VGC 2014 Combinations Thread

    Trick destroys any set-up sweeper...There really isn't a need to mention it. That said, Meowstic can also run Fake-Out, which is another way to help force through a Belly Drum/Unburden.
  7. Little Cup Threat List!

    Well, Belly Drum gets used the second you either go below half health or you Belly Drum. Unburden is immeadietly/instantly active. After you drum, you'll either be at Half Health or full health, depending on if your juice got popped beforehand. According to earlier in the thread, Thief does get...
  8. Little Cup Threat List!

    Smeargle? Sounds similar to Sneasal. Mistyped. I'll edit it. (EDIT: I had already edited that out when I read your comment. Lol) Also, predicting the Play Rough is coming doesn't matter much when they're at +6 and it literally OHKOs any pokemon on your team that isn't, like, a defensive Aron or...
  9. Little Cup Threat List!

    Considering that Swirlix has a very competent and SCARY calm mind set as WELL as a Belly Drum sweeper set, it's already EXTREMELY unpredictable. I mean, sure, once they Drum/Calm Mind you know what they're running, but the tools to deal with either set are VERY different. As for speed, 44 speed...
  10. Little Cup Threat List!

    Shouldn't there be at least some mention of Swirlix's Belly Drum set? Belly Drum, Juice to full health, sweep with Unburden active? Good luck switching a special wall into something with +6 attack.
  11. Attack on Mienshao

    I run Mienshao as a Dragonslayer as well. People don't really expect it to OHKO Mega-Garchomp with a single HiJumpKick, but it does. Constantly.
  12. Noivern

    Loudred is going to generally be the better boomburster, thanks to stab and scrappy. That said, it's funny that you can run a double Boomburst frontline with Telepathy Noivern and Soundproof Loudred, though you have no way to hit ghosts...
  13. #Doubles Activities - Gen 6 Metagame Discussion

    I've been experimenting with Choice Specs Exploud running that Boomburst (Which hits all adjacent pokemon for a 140 special perfect accuracy normal-stab move, including ghosts if you're Scrappy) as well as looking for pokemon that might pair well with him. I've found 3 that serve reasonably...
  14. Move Infestation (and trapping moves in general)

    Just tried out Wrap Dragonite online. VERY good at killing fairies. Gimicky yet effective, though you have to worry about them hitting you from the physical side.
  15. Move Infestation (and trapping moves in general)

    Many ghosts can switch into the above set, that's true, but 2 important ones CAN'T. Mega Gengar 2hkos this Dusk, leaving you in the ballpark of 40-50% after 1 Shadow Ball. If you replace Nightshade/Will-O-Wisp with Shadow Sneak, even uninvested you 2hko the average Gengar, factoring in...
  16. Move Infestation (and trapping moves in general)

    Dusclops/Dusknoir learns Infestation, and absolutely has the bulk to to abuse it, perhaps on a set like this: Dusknoir Leftovers Careful | 252 HP / 252 SpDef / 4 Def - Infestation - Night Shade/Will-O-Wisp/Toxic - Rest - Sleep Talk Force a switch, trap them, then spread status while healing...
  17. Reuniclus

    Promo Modest Reuniclus with Aura Sphere confirmed. Takes competitive pokemon by storm. JK. Hope Aura Sphere doesn't get a move tutor.
  18. Venusaur

    You guys should really try an Overgrow tanking set, to utilize Giga Drain. Against most water pokemon he either sponges the water attack, or the inevitable ice beam puts him into Overgrow range, so that 2HKO is now a 1HKO, and you get a nice chunk of HP back. He's really nice in a sandstorm...
  19. Forretress

    Balloon lol. Zone Switch in on spikes. Hidden Power Fire while they...what? Rapid Spin or lay more spikes. Then kill them on the next turn. You can even just do it straight with thunderbolt if your worried about Custap Berry. Balloon zone needs more play. It destroys burungeru and Nattorei...
  20. np: OU Suspect Testing Round 1 - ...wait, I'm not Jumpman16!

    Dory is indeed hella powerful. I don't have a lot of problems with it though. Technitop eats it for breakfast, as well as dealing with a lot of other problem pokes (Darkrai, Deoxys, Latios, Skymin after rocks, and too many others to count.) Full Health Hippo can often take it out. Unboosted...
