Hah, funnily enough, I was theorymonning Prankster Eviolite Bold Murkrow with a similar set; I was going to use Feather Dance instead of Flash, to really disable all angle s of attack. One thing I don't understand about the Klefki in the Mastering the Maison article, though: Why Dazzling Gleam...

Darn, another missed chance with Fairy - changing the Mismagius line to Ghost/Fairy would have been inspired. Interesting typing, too... only weak to Steel and Ghost, 3 immunities, fascinating.

Metagross learns Thunder Punch and has a Mega that is arguably better than Scizor's. Sadly, no SD, but still has Bullet Punch. I leave it to someone else to suggest the best moveset, though, as Zen Headbutt as a STAB leaves much to be desired - plus, I gotta run.

The Fairy-typing, to me, seems to be added to Pokemon that are supernatural in appearance but aren't Ghost or Dragon - that's why not adding it to the Vanillish and Klink lines was such a miss IMHO. Plus, a fast Steel/Fairy would have made an interesting contrast to Klefki. Unpopular opinion: I...

Any thoughts on Sheer Force Feraligatr? I'm thinking a Jolly DD one might work out - it sits at 212 speed after one DD, has pretty wide coverage possibilities (Waterfall/Crunch/Ice Punch/Superpower/Earthquake/Aqua Jet). I don't see it replacing Suicune on a singles team, but in a Doubles team it...

Well, with Adamant +2 Crunch is a 2HKO on the OU Utility build of Ferrothorn; that's not too shabby for a wallbreaker neutral hit. Even Jolly has a 43% chance to 2HKO. I know I argued for Ice Punch earlier, but Water/Dark does give better neutral coverage, and if you want to have Aqua Jet +...

Unpopular opinions, huh? Well, here goes. Adding 150-odd pokemon in Gen5 was the biggest mistake GameFreak has ever made. Quantity does NOT equal quality, and thank the Maker (Arceus?) they realized it in Gen6. Too many similar Pokemon, with no real distinguishing marks between them...

Well, it might work better if I had a pair of Scizors named RunWithMe... don't run with scissors, anyone?

I found out that I could not name my Togekiss 2 4Flinching, presumably because of the 'ching' because it accepted 2 4Flinchin'. On the other hand, my Scizor named RunWithMe still makes me giggle whenever it hits the field...

Sometimes, when managing an intellectual property, a decision has to be made: do I cut/change this one thing that most players won't really understand at the risk of angering a vocal minority, or try to keep it in at some unknown risk? Could be causing a coding error, could be that IP has...

That was my thought - while Crunch does ruin Rotom-W, it hits no other targets of value, and Ice Punch has the widest effectiveness against most OU pokes which resist Water. A lot of 2HKOs are turned into 1HKOs at +2 comparing both.

A Choice Band-using Pokemon outdamages a Life Orb Pokemon? Now I've seen EVERYTHING! ;) In all fairness, though, a guaranteed 2HKO on a Chansey after Softboiled recovery is not something to be sneered at, and doesn't the usual Crawdaunt set use Life Orb not CB? I am starting to wonder if a SD...

Budew Availability: Route 4, in the red flowers; while Roselia is available on Route 7 it's best to catch a Budew. Stats: All of Budew's evolutions excel in SpA and SpD, with Roserade having a decent 90 Spe as well - also, because Budew's a No Egg Group Pokemon, it immediately starts with 3...

One thing that should be mentioned on both Azurill and Budew: as No Egg Group Pokemon they have 3 perfect IVs at minimum, giving them a serious stat advantage above and beyond other Pokemon in the same area. I'll try and dew (hah) Budew, just give me a little while; it's been a while since I've...

If you're just looking for raw power and speed instead of the obvious advantage of mauling Sturdy/Sash users (which is why Cloyster is best choice), why not just go DD Mega Salamence? Return and Earthquake at +2 OHKOs anything in the Maison aside from Sturdy/Sash, and even with 0 Speed EVs you...

I think there could have been potential for cloning shenanigans (like GF has ever been able to stop THAT), so they tried to stop it. Shame, I liked the Pokewalker too.

I tried paying Soulsilver one day after spending a couple of weeks on other games and it started with the message that the save file had been corrupted. I had no opportunity to save them at all.

Frankly, I think that this version of Pokebank is designed to be generation-agnostic; that is, it'll be the same storage system and the same Pokemon in it when they move to Gen 7 and beyond. It's a perfect solution to the ancient problem of transferring Pokemon betwixt generations, which has...

Yeah, no kidding. I'm using a typhlosion as doubles/triples fodder in the Maison, and my coverage move is EARTHQUAKE. Typhlosion actually has a really great movepool, coverage-wise; the only problem is that most of it is on the physical side, and always has been even GenIV prior. They REALLY...

I'm looking for someone who has a Steel Safari with Excadrill, and a Fighting Safari with Riolus - I wants to breed Net Ball HA Lucarios, and HA Excadrills in Repeat Balls, but I'm willing to do the dirty work of catching and raising them. Or, ya know, if you've got a Netball HA Riolu female/...
