    XY OU Suspect Process, Round 3 - BATON PASS [READ POST #590]

    Ok, I usually dont post on these topics, but i have to ask. Why is no one talking about mega pinsir as a hard counter to baton pass teams? I have yet to loose or see any team with a MP loose to a baton pass strategy. If they lead with scolopede, mega pinsir transforms and then swords...

    Other Is Weather Still Viable?

    This is after extensive testing. Sun, Hail, and Rain are virtually unplayable now. Or rather, the downside of running Politoad, Abomasnow or Ninetails is more than the upside of getting temporary weather boost, and any team that you would consider them for would be better off running...

    Other Good Cores

    Other new cores! I have been having great success with Aegislash+MegaGyarados. Gyarados in normal form dodges earthquakes and tanks fire moves (the most common attacks leveled at Aegislash) and threatens to set up and go mega, where it resists ghost and dark type attacks. Aegis on the other...

    Chandelure

    Tremendous, world smashing power if you pull it off. Its a bit like a specs heatran on crack. If you actually happen to be using specs and get a flash fire boost you straight up 2hko the standard bliss. Most dragons are 1hkoed after a FF boost and specs, even some of the bulky variants...

    Chandelure

    I would recommend a sub set with balloon. With a balloon, Chand sports the same excellent immunities as gengar with significantly more power and flash fire to boot. If you can actually bait the flash fire Chand has a chance to 2hko blissy after SR. Sub means that anything coming in on a...

    Gengar

    Gengar doesn't get much, and doesn't need much. Its still the fastest ghost out there, packing an amazing special attack stat. The variations on sub-gar still make it one of the best lures in the game, and it has a number of ways to punish an opponent for switching into a sub. It still 1hkos...

    Charizard

    Perhaps we are thinking about zard in the wrong way. Even without specs, solar power zard still hits like a truck in the sun. It also boasts a useful immunity and several resistances that are relevant at the moment, such as fire, grass, fighting, and steel. Perhaps a rest-talk sun set would...

    Victini

    True, but the problem here is typing. Swampert/Kingdra/Heatran have very strong defensive typing, which lets them get away with lower defensive stats. Celebi (the closest comparison IMO) has similar typing issues but gets off clean because it has key resistances to fighting, ground, water, and...

    Chandelure

    I wouldn't expect shadow tag to make it into OU guys. Not in this form, at least. Its just far too good at trapping and killing, practically guaranteeing that you will loose a poke every time it switches in. Not to mention the fact that it can switch INTO Blissy, and set up a sweep while...

    Terrakion

    The biggest problem here is his weakness to priority moves. Mach Punch/Wave, Bullet Punch, and Aqua Jet all hit super effectively. Ice shard is neutral, and only Extreme Speed /Quick Attack are resisted (and sucker punch of course, but I would hope no one would do that). His natural bulk and...

    Braviary

    Im curious why no one has noticed this. Is it wrong? Because if its accurate, there is a serious possibility of a tail wind sweeper. Something like... Wargle @ Leftovers/Life Orb Competitive Spirit Jolly Nature, EVs 252 ATK/252 Speed -Tailwind -Return -Brave Bird -Superpower...

    Shoddy on Mac

    I am having a separate problem. Whenever I try to open Shoddy on my mac, it opens in a text file instead. I cant seem to get it to open with java, so I'm a bit stumped. -FG

    Cant get into the Shoddy Battle Server.

    The problem has been consistent for me for the past few weeks. But It did work for a long time before that. So...I dunno. The main server works, but smogon does not. Anyone have a solution?

    Cant get into the Shoddy Battle Server.

    Just like the title says. I had been enjoying the suspect test ladder, when suddenly one day I cant log into smogon's Shoddy Battle server. I type in the name and password, click the button or hit enter, and nothing happens. Its not frozen, its like the button is broken. According to Colin...
