It seems that if you want Chi-yu to stick around, you better step up right now and give some compelling reasons because otherwise it doesn't seem like it'll last 24 more hours. It seems based on comments here, Twitter, and YouTube that it's the most universally ban-worthy Pokemon right now with...

Yep. All the Gen 5 gems are still in there. It's going to give me false hope that megas will return

I imagine that Earthquake will be a move tutor in the next games. Zacian doesn't really need a good moveset to be effective either given that it hits the field with 658 Atk to start with. It does have a bit of 4MSS though. It wants SD, Play Rough, Close Combat (for Steels), Psychic Fangs for...

I personally don't think Scizor is ban worthy, or even suspect worthy. It's easily the best mon in the tier, but it has enough checks and counters to remain balanced. I personally think it's similar to Lando-T in OU. They both have insanely high usage, sub-optimal speed, x4 weaknesses, and keep...

I'll give my thoughts on some of the discussion slate on mons I've used it have faced enough to have an opinion on. My team that I've been using most is a webs Bisharp hyper offense team. Cobalion: A- to B+. agree I've used this mon a lot with the double dance steelium z set. Against offensive...

As a general rule, a mon is tiered based on its most viable set. For some other tiers, there's a separate thread just about the viability of various sets. Versatility is useful by indirectly making various sets more viable by forcing guessing games before it's revealed. In the case of Scizor...

You're correct. Some of these are very team specific needs. I'm imagining pairing Koko with Ash-Gren and luring Bulu/Venu/Tang/Amoongus and eliminating the bulky grass and clearing the way for Gren to sweep. That's not a good set since it's very specific. The point of my post was to show how it...

Tapu Koko A+ -> S-: Strongly agree I don't really have much say that others haven't. The biggest thing is comparing it to other things in that tier. Toxapex, Kartana, and Heatran are the only S- mons right now. Quite frankly, I find Koko a lot more terrifying than Kartana. There is no mon that...

Fyi. There's a picture of Stakataka and a set for Tapu Fini. Staks only ranked set should be OTR

Apparently not. Joey got to #5 on the ladder with it. It's obviously not great in the meta, but it's not useless. It has a good speed tier at 115 with a base 125 STAB attack (if skill link) with knock off, fire punch, ice punch, u-turn, and fakeout so it can be customized to need. I'd say it...

Not really as synthesis recovers 66.6% in the sun. You're right though because not many run max/ max+. This is the biggest thing even though we're far removed from the Arena Trap suspect. It can still use its old ORAS buddy Banded T-Tar but it's less effective because T-Tar hates risking...

For Char-Y, what team archetypes does it hurt anymore? Stall? Chansey and SpDef Pex laugh at it. Balance? Once again, Pex and M-Venu wall it. Offense typically has 2-3 things that can outspeed and OHKO it. Rain is laughable. It's useless against Trick Room. It does well against Webs. It does...

I'm guessing that Light That Burns The Sky missed since the Wingull only fainted instead of being erased from history and existence.

Just a couple of other suggestions. If you go with Torn-T, I recommend the Assault Vest set with Timid 248 HP/ 8 SpD/ 252 Spe. It's job is to pivot and absorb damage that you don't want your sweepers taking and hitting grass types, not wall break. I've also been experimenting with a rain team...

Right off the bat I would say to Relaxed > Impish on Ferrothorn to increase Gyro Ball's power and change Chansey from Wish/Protect to Softboiled/Seismic Toss so that you aren't complete taunt bait and don't auto lose if it ends up 1 v 1 against a steel type.

I'd suggest safety goggles over focus sash on Shedinja. Being able to survive a random HP Fire is nice, but I think surviving Tyranitar's sand and A-Ninetales' hail is more important since you don't have your own weather setter. Also, Giga Drain over leech seed. Autotomize Celesteela isn't meant...

What scarf user is faster than max 126+ speed that's commonly used? The only one that jumps to mind is scarf Tapu Koko. You out speed everything at +2 speed with a positive nature below base 83 speed and neutral natured +2 base 96s. Nothing is revenge killing +1 talonflame besides scarf Koko or...

About Magearna: Focus Blast is fine as it helps beat a lot of the checks and counters to Shift Gear Mag like Heatran and Ferrothorn. I personally run Z-focus blast on double dance Mag, but I've been considering changing it to Z-Aura Sphere because the drop in z-move power isn't very large (8%...

The problem I see with your team is that you both don't have hazards and and have no way to get rid of your opponent's. This makes it almost impossible to break stall since yet can switch with immunity especially since both your breakers are choices. You also have a good match against set-up...

You are going to get locked, but to help you with the same Pokemon, I'd make these changes Aaron's making your team bulky offensive Change Suicune to the Bulky Tank set Leftovers Bold 248 HP/252 Def/ 8SpD - Scald - Calm Mind - Roar - Rest You need a breaker so I recommend changing Arcanine to...
