Damned to hell with the idiot who came up with Xatu. Srsly, it turns a match between two stallish teams into something from GSC. I had to quit one game because both teams were just switching to avoid PP loss, and it had been over 150 turns.

I think that may have been me lol. Did it involve a Xatu walling a Skarmory, and a troll that had stall in its name? If thats the case it was I.

guys if you want easy wins run double dance lum groudon and dual screens something then basically the whole metagame is ohkoed and outsped by a +2/+2 groudon.
the only problem is that stone edge misses sometimes ):

The real problem is getting two free turns, wobba can provide one, the other can come from baiting a Gira-a switch-in. Unfortunately Gira-a actually has the defense to stomach up a +2 Earthquake and Roar it out, if you rock polished turn 1 while it switched in Groudon won't be able to sweep. Multiscale Lugia and even Pressure Lugia will be able to take a hit, set up reflect, and Whirlwind it out, regardless of the move used (RP or SD). Since Rock Polished Stone Edges tickle while SD gets neutered by Reflect (it sets it up before it moves thanks to that speed). The lack of Fire Punch allows Skarmory to phaze it out. Also Timid Scarf Skymin <- YES I REALIZE ITS NON-EXISTENT, can outspeed after a rock polish and OHKO with seed flare. Wallceus , while rare, can outspeed and WoW Groudon if it Swords Dances and doesn't really care about rock polished EQs.
I do have a concern about something. Am I the only one noticing a huge decline in Mewtwos? I haven't seen one on either PO or PS at all... also that being said Mewtwo Stall (stalling with a stall two) and Xatu stall are IMO more effective then last gen due to the drop in specs ogre usage o_o. Mewtwo's capable of beating both Kyurem Formes that lack a scarf and lum berry while Xatu's ability to act as a stall breaker that can wall ferrothorn without making a move helps :D especially since its running SR + LEECH SEED + SPIKES now.

EDIT: anyone else playing on PS? I haven't run into many known names/alts.

You'd be suprised at how easy it is to alt hide on PS XD. Chances are everyone's on but hiding under alts (MAYBE I AM???).
