  1. Bug Reports v2.0 (READ OP BEFORE POSTING!!)

    Not sure if Lv 100 markers are purely aesthetic since Showdown does have quite a few graphical glitches far as Doubles is concerned. To be honest I haven't paid enough attention to notice if they have been scaled down to Lv50. However answering the second question yes Lv100 instead of the...
  2. Pokemon Rankings for Special Battle Spot (VGC14)

    I think the problem here why people are valuing Quick Guard so much is simply put between the various other Pranksters and Talonflame's ability to net what can only be described as extremely cheap revenge kill/KO's it instills a certain fear into most players. The fear of never being able to do...

    A few ideas to get the ball rolling. The things I've tried and I liked Diggersby, Togekiss, Azumarill, Heatran, Kingdra, Kyurem. Of things which on a fundamental level should work theoretically for a few reasons but I can't really say I've been able to try out more are Talonflame, T-tar...

    I find it's just best to keep it at a basic level something which won't crumble to a average Dark or Ghost attack (not necessarily resist). Plus something with decent offensive pressure since generally it doesn't matter what variation of Banette you use, it'll hate all sponge/walls with good...
  5. Bug Reports v2.0 (READ OP BEFORE POSTING!!)

    There is no bug here it's how the game works normally, turn order is always decided before the turn even starts. So basically what happens here is because Rain is up the game has determined Ludicolo will go first the second you move because Sun hasn't happened yet, so even if Drought/MEvo is...
  6. Pokémon Cofagrigus

    252+ Atk Mega Kangaskhan Crunch vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Cofagrigus: 104-124 (32.5 - 38.7%) Unless you completely forgot Mummy would kill Parental Bond stopping the 2nd hit going off that actually looks solid enough. Given it could simply switch out but far as 1v1's go Cofagrigus has it pretty good.
  7. Bug Reports v2.0 (READ OP BEFORE POSTING!!)

    Huh, that is a very strange application of Mold Breaker's effect and first time I've heard of it working that way. I always assumed it only applied to effects which would somehow affect an your own attacks properties being modified but it even extends to ignoring an effect which affects the...
  8. Bug Reports v2.0 (READ OP BEFORE POSTING!!)

    Well illegal in the sense of what the goal and aim of the set was, actual moveset itself is perfectly legal if you want to keep it though I imagine it has a little less use to you now. I wouldn't think too much about the 'why' of the outspeeding bit considering this is two bugs on top of each...
  9. Bug Reports v2.0 (READ OP BEFORE POSTING!!)

    To begin with your set is illegal anyway. Red Card can not activate from behind a substitute in game (confirmed) but only when taking a attack directly (Infiltrator would activate Red Card from behind a Sub) and with that said I guess I'll submit this as a bug report while I'm at it. As for...
  10. XY UU Viability Ranking Thread

    That is because it doesn't, Red Card activating from behind a Substitute is a pretty major glitch if it happens on Showdown and it does not work like that in game. In the actual game in order for Red Card to activate you must actually be hit directly by an attack. So if this tier list ranking...
  11. Pokémon Cofagrigus

    Hard counter? No, it lacks the reliable recovery to be so, they'd only need to apply a bit of pressure and it'll never get a chance to wake up to Rest again. For that reason you'd always want to pair this guy up with a Cleric at all times. Excellent check? Yes. In any case it will lose Huge...
  12. Data Two Type Move Combos Gen 6 (Coverage, Resistances)

    So are you taking into account resist/neutral for the type match ups or purely resist/resist or resist/immune?
  13. Other Good Cores

    But the problem with outprediction as an argument is you're stuck in a 50/50 guessing game against Mamoswine so outprediction works both ways, alternatively if they guess you're gonna aim for 2 turn they could as easily Icicle Crash twice in a row as easily as they could Ice Shard the second...
  14. Other Good Cores

    Not to be a dick but doesn't a simple Expert Belt Mamoswine kinda manhandle that entire core single handedly? Freeze Dry wipes out Gastrodon with a tiny bit of S.Atk investment, it wipes out Magnezone without Sturdy and Mega Pinsir comes short of a kill with Return whilst comfortably getting 1...
  15. Pokémon Quagsire

    Also irritatingly it happens to get round Infestation as well, which I'm convinced is a in game glitch Gamefreak overlooked since there is no text to indicate something changed. Even if you've been able to trap them with the infestation effect setting up a Substitute instantly cancels out both...
  16. Pokémon Talonflame

    Some Natural Gift berry types were buffed to 90 and 100 BP this gen, Liechi Berry was one of the ones to get a 100 BP buff. Also I've been on the receiving end of a Natural Gift Talonflame and I can tell you it's the most unpleasant thing ever, it just spits on the traditional counters.
  17. Pokémon Quagsire

    No. Megados is a hard Quag counter, it just needs a simple Sub or Taunt and you're screwed since Mold Breaker negates Unaware, it's pretty hard not to kill Quag with Megados unless you just play badly.
  18. Pokémon Whimsicott

    Being able to tank and sweep a Garchomp is amazing enough in itself that I'm not sure if anything else really matters anymore in this world. Joking aside I think Switcheroo isn't a big deal at all, with the addition of the Mega mechanics makes it a notably riskier and easy to backfire choice...
  19. Other PranksterSwag Teams

    Xatu doesn't have half the PP on a recovery which likes to occasionally not work nor a wasteland of a support movepool and more resists. 1. Rocky Helmet Xatu's don't use Calm, why exactly would you think something running Rocky Helmet would run no defense? 2. Pursuit and U-Turn are the bane of...
  20. Other PranksterSwag Teams

    Just. Keep it simple. It has had a name since Gen 1/2 and it is simply Parafusion. Yes I'm aware it aims at utilizing Swagger mainly but that doesn't change the fact the underlying strategy is still the same as it has been for over 6 Generations just with Prankster thrown into the mix and it...
