    Heart Swap Magearna is the first answer that comes to my mind. The fact that Z-Geomancy still has the charge turn means you can even see the move start up and have enough time to switch Magearna in on the second turn of the move, threaten to steal its boosts, and eviscerate it with Flash Cannon...

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

    Calculations for Sunsteel Strike and Moongeist Beam seem like they don't have their built-in Mold Breaker effects. For instance, Lugia's Multiscale is still halving the damage from Moongeist Beam at full health, even though this move should ignore Multiscale. I didn't change anything in Lunala's...

    Does Multiscale/Shadow Shield still activate if the Pokemon with Multiscale/Shadow Shield is behind a Sub and at full health?

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

    I have a couple concerns about accuracy-reducing moves too. While they have a wide distribution, most Pokemon would rather run other, better moves that aren't so luck-based and don't leave your opponent any chance for a free turn (which accuracy-reducing moves still do even at -6). Plus, the...

    OU Gliscor

    Normally I'd stay out of something like this, but I think Hootie's comments went a bit too far. My intention as an editor is never to insult the original author - it's to improve the quality of the work. Berserker Lord already touched on how various edits do just that and why a high number of...

    Ask A Simple Question, Get A Simple Answer - Pokemon Showdown! Edition

    I noticed something when looking at the various metagames you can select in PS. Some of the older ones, namely Gen IV and older, are listed as "beta". I know PS has been around a few years, but now I'm curious - exactly what is beta about each of those metagames on the server? Is there certain...

    Pokémon Diancie

    Speaking of set suggestions, FurryGah already touched on one thought I've been throwing around: physically defensive Assault Vest instead of specially defensive. While I've only done a few calcs testing the special side, Diancie reaches over 500 S.Def uninvested with Assault Vest, so she should...

    Pokémon Diancie

    Based on what we know about Diancie so far (it could certainly change at any time), this thing strikes me more as a Pokemon that would be better off supporting its team, rather than being something that you build a team around. Stealth Rock is always useful, and although Rock/Fairy isn't the...

    Pokémon Kyurem-Black

    I tried it out on one of my teams as part of a duo-Dragon core, and the power is real. What I like about it is CB Fusion Bolt actually has a decent chance to 2HKO defensive Sylveon and Clefable after Leftovers (guaranteed with rocks unless Magic Guard is in play), meaning you're more free to...

    OU Kyurem-B

    I admit I'm a little confused on Iron Head for the CB set. The Usage Tips and stuff for that set is still written as if you're running Dragon Claw in the last slot, don't know if you plan on editing that soon, but I have to wonder if a 64.5% chance for +Atk CB Fusion Bolt to 2HKO defensive...

    SwagPlay, evaluating potential bans (basic definition of "uncompetitive" in OP)

    This thread is like a culmination of all the talk about SwagPlay I've seen over the past few weeks lol. I don't ladder extensively, and I've only seen the strategy myself a few times, so for that reason I'm not actually gonna side one way or the other. The only thing I feel I can do is focus on...

    np: OU Suspect Testing Round 5 - Sandstorm (Excadrill/Thundurus Banned)

    Ninjask isn't the only mon running Substitute on a BP team, dude. Lots of them do. I know people were bringing up the whole "is it really Espeon that makes BP broken" issue, but I think it's more complex than that. While Magic Bounce is useful, Espeon outside of BP isn't exactly a dominating...

    Alakazam

    From what I remember, Guard Split ignores any stat changes when calculating the average of both mons' defenses. EDIT: Ninja'd. Blissey needs Seismic Toss in order to do appreciable damage to Alakazam, correct? If she does run it however, I have a feeling that ST Blissey will still wall the new...

    np: OU Suspect Testing Round 5 - Sandstorm (Excadrill/Thundurus Banned)

    More DW releases huh? Interesting. I'm actually not sure if Prankster will help Sableye become super good. Sure, priority Will-o-Wisp is AFAIK a unique feature, and of course there's priority Taunt to mess with stall, but it seems way too frail to even take much advantage of a burn. Sableye...

    Reuniclus

    Bad idea considering that quite a few Fighting-types (of which countering them is one of Reuniclus' main jobs) have good/great Defense and mediocre Special Defense at best, unless you've built up any prior boosts. Made even worse when they have Bulk Up, making it like a pseudo-CM war. The...

    Reuniclus

    Magic Guard protects against all residual damage, from status damage to entry hazards to weather, and it's the defining thing that makes Reuniclus a stall-breaker.
