Genuinely didn't know that was a thing. Disregard that then so.

Crit = x2 damage Storm Throw = 60 BP 60 x 2 = 120 CC = 120 120 = 120 EDIT: I should also mention that Storm Throw ALWAYS crits.

You should consider replacing CC with Storm Throw. Same power, no defence drops, more PP and can get past stockpile users.

I nominate Bisharp for B rank. It's one of few physical attackers that benefits from Intimidate thanks to Defiant, giving it a nice +1. It checks the majority of Fairies in the meta as well as Ageislash and T-Tar . It gets Stab priority in Sucker Punch which demolishes threats such as...

It's an easy ability to overlook considering it hasn't been as dominant in any other meta. The Majority of Excadrill run it. Killing off Rotom-W is fun.

I agree that it'll drop but to say it's not worthwhile is a little crazy. It's got a diverse movepool and gets STAB on every attacking move and makes for an okay spiker. I say it'll end up being this gen's Infernape. Good on the right team, but in the mid 20's

Thanks for the rate. I'll do some testing on Rotom-H for sure and see if I can replace Gliscor somehow. I've noticed that my team does tend to struggle against a well built stall team despite the fact that I have Sableye so I think a good wallbreaker would fit in nicely in place of Gliscor.

Bump. Would really like a rate.

If I could make 2 slight improvements to the team 1) Give Politoed Rest. This provides longevity for your weather summoner and goes well with your cleric. This can also give you an easier time if M-Zard X is out 2) Replace Scald with Hydro Pump on Ludicolo. The extra power provided is very...

El Generio: The Generic Team Greeting fellow Smogonites. I've been enjoying the X/Y meta for a month now, experimenting with megas and new mons and seeing how they fair in the game. PokeBank is just upon us and I've had a good run with this team now for the past couple of weeks. Weather...

Anyone using Agility on their Deo-D to combat it's speed problem?

It's not bandwagon, it's reality. From the Pokemon you compared Dragonite to in your other post, they all miss out on one important aspect that the mighty dragon has: versatility. Dragonite has a huge amount of versatility thanks to bulk, a great ability and a wide movepool as well as some great...

I get E-speed on Nite, I even get it with DD. But Mamoswine isn't seeing much play these days, as well as any other Ice sharders. I get that it's a good insurance to have on the team. but why not stick waterfall on him instead? It'll give you extra cover against the likes of Heatran so unless...

I'm happy to see Tornadus back in OU. It's not Thunderus, but it fires off strong STAB Hurricanes rounded up by Focus Blast/Hammer Arm for nice coverage. Prankster is nice for priority Taunts and Subs. Tornadus my not have much but it has enough, I like where it is in OU. I don't expect it to...

I'd like to point out that Sableye makes a good check, heck, even the best counter to a lead Deo-S. Priority taunt, immunity to Psycho Boost and Superpower, and priority with shadow sneak. I know it's not much to push Sableye in as a good member of an OU team but it's a niche he has. I've...

As well as that, Blastoise, Tentacreul and Ludicolo can all run a simillar set as Pelipper on a rain team, as well as all of them having better defensive typing (Stealth Rock ><).

If your going to be using Cradily as a full on wall, then toxic is a must on the set. A set of Toxic/Stockpile/Giga Drain/Recover will slowly ware down your opponent. Also, you can choose to use Suction Cups over Storm Drain, just so you don't get phased out and loose all your boosts.

Crunch and pursuit. Crunch is more powerful than Payback and will do a large chunk to Jellicent, even kill it, provided it's not burned. Or you can predict the switch and use Pursuit and kill it on the way out.

Hi, I'm level 1 Aron and I have here a shell bell and the move endeavour. I might not be as effective on Steel, Rock, Ghost, Ground or anything with magic guard, but at least I can work on my own ^^

The problem with Aerodactyl is it's small movepool. The elemental fangs are too weak to do any real damage compared to Deoxys-S, who gets T-bolt, Ice Beam and Fire Punch anyways. The only real difference is that Aero is a tad stronger. The only real thing that Aero can do better than Deoxys-S is...
