I agree with banning Dynamax, but c'mon. You're arguing that a reduced power (which is in the game) won't work because that's not how it always is in the game. "Staying true to the game" is your argument to completely remove something from the game. But both sides are using increasingly stupid...

I've gotten really good success with a general rain team. Leading with Politoed, Gastrodon, and Ludicolo with Thundurus, Kingdra, and M-Scizor in the back. All of their sets are pretty typical for a rain team with a few specific features. Gastrodon is by far the most important member of the...

Never seen Hyper Beam, but I do see a lot of the 130 BP hard-hitting-but-lowers-attack-2-stages attacks from JP players. In fact, 2 of those hit almost 10% harder than 2 90 BP attacks even with the second attack having lower damage, and you gain the benefit of a huge attack the first turn. It's...

Just echoing unhappiness here, as there's nothing but Japanese players using full shiny teams with Terrakion, Heatran, and Seismic Toss/Wish M-Kanga now. It's very boring and not entertaining at all anymore. It's a shame because the game was a ton of fun until 12/25 with the exception of...

I really like this core, and plan to run it on Battle Spot when Pokebank and Heatran is released. I have changed around items due to item clause (such as ChestoRest Rotom-W), and depending on how common Mold Breaker Excadrill becomes (and how problematic he proves to be as Venusaur SHOULD be...

I absolutely love the attention the Nintendo meta is getting, but with Pokebank just 10 days away I feel promoting RMTs right now may be premature when so much will change. Heatran, Terrakion, Whimsicott, Cofagrigus, and the genies in particular will significantly change the meta. It would be...

I have to correct myself on this one. I have never used an Unburden Pokemon and instantly assumed it was a 50% increase like Flash Fire and Guts so I copied my Blaziken EVs for +1 speed tier. As it's actually double speed you don't need any EVs to outrun much of the meta after Unburden. I've...

Other posters seemed to praise Muk, but I've had success with lead Drifblim just abusing Minimize and Baton Pass. The biggest threats I faced were Crunch M-Kanga (of course) and Greninja. I ran 92 Speed EVs so I could outrun M-Kanga after Unburden with Sitrus Berry, making it a 42% chance to be...

The 1900s on Nintendo's 3v3 singles ladder before rated went down were almost all either one of 3 teams: 1. Kangaskhan and 2 Kangaskhan counters 2. 2 setups for Kangaskhan (Eject Button Screens Klefki / Baton Passer / Galvantula) and Kangaskhan 3. 3 Kangaskhan counters It's amazingly...

This is the funniest thing I have ever played. DPDG-WWWW-WWW3-5UPV This wasn't anywhere near my best match. I've had many games where I've perma-flinched the entire other team until they disconnect, at which point I can't save the video. It does have some weaknesses though, most notably the...

So just ties? I would assume any Klefki to have 4 Speed EVs at most so you could always go 12 EVs and speed creep them out I guess. On topic, I'm noticing a handful of M-Blaziken at higher ratings now with the usual Rotom-W to fight off Talonflame.

You need to put some speed onto Banette because you don't get the Mega version's speed on the turn you change so you're still at 65 Speed against Klefki's 75 on that first turn. 92 EVs with a neutral nature should put you just above a 4 Speed EV Bold Klefki. Also, just because something is...

I've done a fair bit of EV tesing and I've found that Jolly with 148 Speed and 108 HP seems optimal. It allows you to outspeed max speed Adamant Kangaskhans while building more bulk, and I can't find anything that I could have had a OHKO if I had Adamant. Adamant and Double-Edge over Jolly and...

I've dropped Sucker Punch myself for my wifi Kanga. It always leads to a guessing game against smarter opponents when it would be much more beneficial to just add more coverage to my already fast Mega. I wanted to drop Fake Out as well but it's so often that I can get a kill with PUP due to the...

The bonuses are multiplicative. It can also get an almost 300 Ice Type Hyper Beam.

1.3 x 1.5 = 1.95 I'm looking for a Timid Protean Froakie 31/x/31/31/31/31 I can offer an Adamant Gale Wings Flechling 31/31/31/x/31/31, or a Modest Rotom 31/x/31/31/31/31

I may be wrong here, but I'm pretty sure Fur Coat is just a flat half damage after all other calculations which is equivalent to double your end Defense. In this case you would get +3 Defense, giving you x2.5 Defense, which is then theoretically doubled to x5 with Fur Coat. This would be like...

Offering Fletchling with Adamant 31/31/31/X/31/31 and Gale Wings for Kangaskhan.

Have a few extra Fletchling: Adamant 31/31/31/X/31/31 with Gale Wings. Looking to trade for a Kangaskhan: Jolly 31/31/31/X/31/31 with Scrappy.

Serebii says that Boomburst isn't blocked by Protect. Is this true for other similar abilities such as Mat Block? Should be simple to test but I don't have the resources. Would make Boomburst pretty huge in doubles.
