    Aegislash: The Pivot

    Was going to write warstory 3 days ago but got lazy because couldn't choose the best battle. But it doesn't matter anymore because it wouldn't be the first any more!!! Useless rant stops here. Not a great battle but more of a showcase like you said yourself. Aegislash is very interesting poke...

    Assault Vest

    Very nice item. I have seen some very clever use of it for example assault vest amoonguss tanking special threats and have used assault vest scizor myself which is like one of the best xerneas counters. Think there are other good canditates like dialga, palkia, metagross maybe even jirachi etc.

    Xerneas

    I've played only official ubers but have had none problems with xerneas. Either my assault vest scizor stops it or then I revenge kill it with talonflame. Everyone is prepared to counter xerneas so it doesn't seem to be so overpowered I first thought.

    Xerneas

    28 SAtk IV compared to 31 SAtk IV is under 1% difference in damage.

    Other Viable Megas

    You forgot M-Blaziken, M-Lucario and M-Scizor and the Mewtwo formes. They are better than their normal forms. Agent Gibbs post covered Blaziken. M-Lucario gains very notable speed boost, its bullet punch and close combat are as powerful as life orbed lucario's but without the recoil. It's also...

    Pokémon Tyrantrum

    Choice Band and Rock Polish sets will be very devastating in lower tiers. Don't see Tyrantrum working in OU which is too bad because I really like this guy! Could even work as a kinda gimmick in ubers where it's nice to have stabbed Stone Edge for Lugia/Ho-oh/Rayquaza. Getting "stab" for...

    XY Experiences

    Have played 12 hours so far and having an absolutely blast! X/Y could be the best pokemon games ever. I really love 1st and 2nd gen and they were very important to me. Especially 2nd gen which has been my favourite until now. However because I haven't finished the game yet I won't rank X/Y yet...

    Pokémon XY Data Collection

    125/130/95/130/100/100 gives you 680 which sounds just right.

    Other Looking Ahead to Gen VI Mark II (SEE POSTS #818 & #858)

    There was list with all supposed mega evolutions and it has been spot on so far except it didn't have Alakazam on it. There are few megas not been found yet that are on the list. They are Jynx, Scizor, Latias and Latios. I wonder if there's going to be some megas we don't know yet or are those...

    XY Metagame Speculation [SPOILERS ITT]

    Wrong thread then. But yeah, in OU I would run Jolly too but that's completely different metagame. Apples and oranges...

    XY Metagame Speculation [SPOILERS ITT]

    Good points but few nitpicks. - Garchomp is quite rare in ubers and runs mostly scarf set iirc so you would be slower no matter what. You shouldn't stay on Chomp w/o SD boost which means you can still take it with bullet punch + spikes sr support. - Nobody uses Infernape in ubers but if they...

    XY Metagame Speculation [SPOILERS ITT]

    Yes! 115 Base Speed is fantastic news because you don't need positive nature to outspeed base 100s.

    Every Mega Pokemon has kept its base HP so Mega Ampharos has 90 base.

    Pokémon XY Leaks

    This is the generation of bulkyness. Mostly slow but powerful pokemons with some very nice type combinations. Actually it's a good thing imo. There are already enough great sweepers.

    Pokémon XY Leaks

    Meaning it has the 2nd best base HP of ubers right after Giratina (150) and just ahead Kyurem (125) Hopefully it's fast too.

    XY Metagame Speculation [SPOILERS ITT]

    Drapion will probaby rise in usage in lower tiers but like you said it would need a mega evolution to be considered used in ubers too. Well thankfully there is Yvetal which should be nice Ghostceus counter and darks and psychics in general. I hope it's fast and bulky.

    XY Metagame Speculation [SPOILERS ITT]

    All those scarfers need over 50% to survive from entry hazards + bullet punch. Dialga is your best bet. And well you can always run extremespeed which OHKOs everything except Dialga with SR and one layer of spikes. So technically they don't "blow" Lucario away even if you may think so.

    XY Metagame Speculation [SPOILERS ITT]

    You read my post didn't you? Because I actually explained WHY it will be so good. But here's again. a.) base attack 135-140 which is about 10% boost compared to normal Lucario's attack. b.) base speed 110-115 which means it outspeeds all the base speed 90 guys even without boosting nature and...
