Jolly, that way you can outspeed Keldeo, MPinsir, Garchomp and Terrakion, as well as tie with Latios, Latias, Gengar, and the ton of other base 110s we're getting. Adamant might be usable with an Agility set though.
Altaria doesn't need any dragon move. Return can kill dragons. My set for a mixed M Altaria is:
Does Super Fang really do that with Refrigirate? It doesn't with a life orb or power boosting item so idk if that will change with the fact that Refrigirate is an ability.
No, it doesn't. It's still 50% HP
i predict him being B+ rank, lol
Cannot switch into anything, low base power on moves, bad coverage, OHKOed by almost all priority moves after SR while having none of it...
Although I agree Beedrill is overhyped, again, most of the hipsters trying to be anti-mainstream lol are being too harsh on it. Low BP moves? I'm not really sure when 90 BP(Poison Jab) became low... Also people keep jerking off about beedrill being weak to priority when Scizor is the only real priority user that counters Beedrill. Azumarill and Talonflame? Have fun switching into this 135 power, adaptability boosted, base 150 attack poison jab. Lol, that's a nice and clean free kill. The "cant switch into anything" argument could also be said about a lot of pokes in OU that are very good.
Azumarill and talonflame have no business switching in when beedrill can OHKO, it's not about countering, it's the fact that almost anything with priority can check it so easily. Priority runs rampant in OU and beedrill can't handle any of it (with the exception of mach punch :P). I know the "can't switch in" argument is used a lot, but beedrill really takes the cake here with a SR weakness and possibly the worst defensive stats in OU.
Mega Diancie is an offensive Pokémon and will itself make Espeon much less viable by taking one of its niches away. Besides, Mega Sableye will have to be played very tactically, since its regular form is still really useful. The main draw with Mega Sableye is, as with Mega Gyarados, when to Mega Evolve it, creating mindgames and forcing the opponent to pull risky plays.
I wish I could agree with you man, but the more I look at m-sable's stats, the more I realize that he really is just not meant to be the bulky sweeper I want him to be. 85 base special attack on a mega is absolutely pitiful, meaning that he'll have to pretty much be a full out stallmon (in it's favor, it does get night shade + stoss).
on mega gallade, there's just not much to say. It's fast, has great coverage, SD, and very little else. I see him as being akin to a physical greninja minus spikes.
Clefable only has 95 SpA and Suicune 90. You're special attack doesn't have to be sky-high when you set up to +6 without toxic stopping you
... why are you caring about a bulky sweeper in regards to Sableye? Why wouldn't you focus on the amazing traits it actually has rather than looking for something that it could never acheive no matter what?
bc baton pass
Because I was hoping for a bulky magic bounce sweeper when he was announced? Don't get me wrong, he will have a niche on stall teams as a stallbreaker/wincon bundled into one cute little package, but I was kind of hoping that he'd have a bit of a larger niche.
gdi Rosen....
Getting a few Spikes up for team for the rest of the game and killing or severely denting any Pokemon on the opposing team doesn't seem like a waste for a Mega to me. It's a pretty significant help and will be great paired with Bisharp (or maybe Defiant Thundurus).
