I meant speed.....i'll be clearer next time. I was trying to leave the door open for multiple possibilities

Well, i was only spitballing. To be honest, I'm personally leaning more towards an upgraded lightball which boosts 2 stats.... The sad part is that even that might not be enough to make Pikachu viable. Hence why i might have gotten carried away

While I think the idea of a hugepower Pikachu is a little ridiculous, I do like the idea of theorymonning to try and make the the most famous, most marketed, and most visible pokemon actually viable in the competitive community. It just seems a shame that Pokemon's poster boy is just about...

We have evolved our competitive pokemon scene to a very high level. Part of that elevation has been our intelligent "luck bans." If you ask why Moody, Fissure, or Double Team are banned I'm sure you would get a hearty logical answer. The answer might be something like: "Moves, abilities...

Right! I love the 5th gen meta.....in what other meta would Ttar more often NOT switch when faced with Scizor? lol, the rule in Gen 4 about scizor being wary about throwing around BP until you know they dont have a magnezone is totaly bunk in this meta now because of team preview. So, dont be...

No you missed the point entirely. The thing that sets Reunc apart from other powerful sweepers is his immunity to anything other than a direct attack. Suppose i get a little conservative and dont think ill OHKO latios with trick room shadowball...ill just switch out. no damage, no penalty...

I'm not done arguing about this. Its imprudent just to dismiss an argument simply because you dont agree with it. On to your points. Lati twins lose to Reuncules (not CM roar Latias, which is an overcentralized counter to begin with) so im not sure what you meant. If they are Specd, they are...

Yes, but again, unlike other pokemon you'd want to counter, forcing it out is normally a positive for you instead of a negative or neutral. With Magic Guard, Reuniclus can easily retreat and come back in again at will, as opposed to Lucario and Garchomp, who lose health from entry hazards and...

Ok so lets talk Steel-Type Bulky boosters. Here are the better ones: Jirachi Bisharp Curse Ferrothorn So, again, use Scizor for what he is best at, NOT for what other pokemon can do better.

I hope I'm not the only one who doesn't know what "ispe dixit" means. So i don't know what you mean there. Regardless, I agree that people are quick to press "BAN" on powerful pokemon. The reason i'm focusing on Reunicles is that out of all these "suspect pokemon" I believe him to be the most...

A: predicting pursuit insnt hard at all, even more so that there are only 2 popular users of it (ttar + scizor). Also, he can usually kill them anyway... B: the point i made about psychics was just that they are easily dealt with and reuncules can come back in later to wreak havoc or when they...

Bulky booster is outclassed too I'm afraid. See scrafty, toxicroak, jirachi, etc... Someone made the point a while ago: Bullet Punch doesn't hit for SE or Neutral damage on as much as you would want it too in this Gen, neutering Scizor quite a bit. Thus, Scizor is much better being hit and...

Here's the kicker. People who are saying Reuncules isn't Uber are tending to bring up a counter for him in that argument. Like I've said, that argument falls through because "good" counters for him are over centralized, while the "checks" for him arent good enough. I'll restate some of my...

The thing is, if you do that, you might as well not even use Scizor. I made this point in the OP. If you arent going to use scizor for that CB set, then your better off using different pokemon for what your trying to make scizor do. Take your example: Tanking Dragon hits....I could name a...

I was following you until you dared to bring up Reuniclus. I've spent countless hours hammering home the reasons why Reuniclus is Uber. I touched upon it in Post 69 but Ill relate some of these arguments once again because out of every possible thing bannable we've been talking about, Reuniclus...

I think things need to be looked at in a more logical way. I'll try and break things down rationally. Here are the infamous culprits now: --------------Latios ----Arguments to Ban: Can OHKO most of the metagame and can sometimes simply muscle his way through his few counters/checks. A number...

Well obviously nothing outclasses Scizor in the sense that its SD and Powerful BP is exclusive. But there are better Swords Dance Boosters with greater destructive prowess than scizor. Terakion, lucario, excadril, Haxorus, and Landorus to name a few. the problem is that too many things...

Another thing too. In my original post, i made a point to say that "this is the only Scizor set that matters." I truly mean that. In OU, while the EV's may be tweaked a bit, and the item, the concept of CB Scizor is really the only workable set in OU The idea of a scizor who can set up, ie...

Well, if your going to use fling, Scizor DOES have access to acrobat, so It'd be a shame to waste that. A 110 BP move coming off 130 Base Attack is nothing to scoff at. The problem is that Fling takes away two important things for Scizor. 1 is a good item, and another is a valuable moveslot...

Not sure if anyone realized, but i want to address a mathematics issue here. Provided Azumarill is Adamant with 252 Ev's in Attack, 252 HP and the obligatory 4 in Def/SpecD DOES NOT maximize Azumarills defenses. If one wants maximum, EQUAL defenses, a spread of 232 HP/ 12 Def/ 12 SpD is...
