    Resource SM OU Viability Ranking Thread

    I'd say Ash-Greninja is fine as-is on A+. I check it handily with Tapu Fini and CM Blissey (note - normally I use CM Blissey to laugh in other Bulky Waters' faces, such as Manaphy) on my current team, though I'm sure others can name different checks on the spot depending on the coverage it runs...

    Metagame Metagame Discussion Thread v2

    So, is Raikou your wincon mon? What opportunities do you get to set up SubCM on Raikou? It's great that Raikou can check specific 'mons and carve out some sort of niche in the meta, but what teammates do you run that allow Raikou to function where Thundurus-I wouldn't? As much as I enjoy seeing...

    Pokémon Guzzlord

    I almost feel like Guzzlord is made with Stockpile in mind as a primary move, since its base HP is fantastic and it gets set-up opportunities out of a few 'mons defensively. It running Payback as a move also seems to be something that could combo into Stockpile. I remember doing a Stockpile set...

    Resource ORAS OU Metagame Discussion

    My favourite weather is Hail. However, I have not been really good with making a consistent Abomasnow team since even the beginning of Gen VI, especially coming up with a primary playstyle so I can pick my other five teammates. My second favourite weather is Rain. I can maybe consider a...

    Baton Pass - its role in the metagame and possible solutions to nerf full Baton Pass chains

    Is Baton Pass (with specific reference to full Baton Pass teams) a problem for the development of the metagame? No. There are enough Pokemon who can outwit a Baton Pass team if they were just included in more teams, period. Running things like SubCoil Zygarde that use Ninjask/Scolipede as...

    np: XY UU Stage 1 - Reload [Salamence: BL | Next: DROPS!!!]

    Yes. Zygarde is much more formidable than people give it credit for, doesn't need much in the way of partners aside from a Special-based Bulky Water, and generally wrecks enough shit with so few counters that, even though it means I'll need a new teammate for Based Shuckle, its departure from UU...

    np: XY UU Stage 1 - Reload [Salamence: BL | Next: DROPS!!!]

    Zapdos moving to OU means I cannot use my Abomasnow team anymore. Otherwise, the bans currently present, as well as OU managing to be decent for once, mean I can make a team from scratch. I'm wondering if Shuckle's a good idea for a Pokemon, considering it has Stealth Rock, Sticky Web, insane...

    Pokémon Whimsicott

    SubSeed is still a thing? I thought that would've died and gone since Prankster SubSeed isn't all it's cracked up to be. That said, Whimsicott is my go-to support Prankster for Tailwinds and other stuff, while also shutting down other Pranksters with a Taunt that's generally faster than most...

    /B/utterfree RMT np: What You Waiting For

    Heat Wave is for a more accurate attack as well as a good chance to burn things. In retrospect, I think it might be better to use Fire Blast on Heatran, albeit I have yet to fix him so he uses that move.

    "Gen 6 is broken beyond madness! I can't play in OU! They've got so many radically different stuff, and even though Gen 5 OU was awful, this is worse! Nightmarish! No bad indie comic can top this!" "Take a chance, you stupid hoe. We'll be rollin' in the dough once this is done." There was a...

    Has the Mighty Decemberween made Gen VI a bit more palpable? Or am I to await the mighty PS! ladder in terms of Gen VI's accessibility?

    Pokémon Scolipede

    I'd rather just sic a Choice Band on Scolipede, like what I used to do for Gen V UU. Now that it gets Speed Boost instead of Quick Feet, a Choice Band set can just hit hard and be faster over time without having to worry about Sableye's Taunts doing anything.

    Good evening, Lord Pocket. I hope all is well in the realm, for I don't quite investigate all the goings-on of Smogon. I was going to hatch a diabolical scheme but am trying to decide on type synergy whilst picking between a few of some favorites for a Megatokyo or Megaman team once Gen 6 is...

    np: Always Wanted To Fly

    I shall see about replacing Porygon-Z with Chandelure first. As mentioned by SmashBrosBrawl, Mew alone is not enough to take on Heracross. While I was trying to take a break from UU-ing today, I shall attempt to see if replacing PoryZ with Chandelure does good to my team tomorrow. A new 'mon to...

    np: Always Wanted To Fly

    I think it's just a matter of Scarf Heracross being bonkers in general. Anyway, I made a Gligar Edition of my team of which is less consistently successful than the one with Rhyperior. While I obviously lose to Scarf Heracross without Gligar, with Gligar I get trolled by Shaymin, Xatu, and a...

    np: Always Wanted To Fly

    Heh. You'd be surprised at how effective CroCune is against physical attackers and anything special that's not Raikou (unless it comes out later and I have several Calm Mind boosts mitigating damage from Thunderbolt). As much as I wouldn't mind swapping Rhyperior out for Gligar to make a...

    np: Always Wanted To Fly

    I officially fixed the team; changes are made in purple, and I modified the teambuilding import/export so people looking to practice with this team are capable of doing so.

    np: Always Wanted To Fly

    Actually, there isn't an explicit Item Clause that Smogon uses, other than the banning of Soul Dew to Ubers. EDIT: Also; SpDef Mew seems to be fine at the moment, although I might consider Chandelure if I need to replace it.

    np: UU Stage 13 - Ghosts N Stuff

    Responses in bold; I'm legitimately ambivalent about Victini as a Suspect, without any leanings towards pro or anti ban. In regards to the quotes above, I'm somewhat playing a Devil's Advocate just to be certain these arguments have more depth to them than what I'm seeing.
