What non-Mega Pokemon check or counter Rotom-W besides Gastrodon? I know that AV Tangrowth and Conkeldurr are decent checks, but I'd like to know my other options.
Substitute Kyurem-B works very well. Mega Venusaur also does well, as does Celebi, (the two pokemon you mentioned), and Roserade.

mold breaker EQs

excadrill can check it but has to watch out for hydro pump

haxorus resists water and electric but has to watch out for burns

Latias and latios are also great they resist both stabs and don't care much about being burned. Trevenant is also a good counter although it doesn't like being burned Lum Berry harvest and Natural Cure can get rid of the status so its at least not permanent and it can use leech seed to recover lost health.

Does Red Card activate, if it's knocked off?

No, at least not on showdown pretty sure its the same ingame.
 
Is there a reason why Heal Bell didn't work here? Or is this a PS bug?

(turn 3)

From what i saw it worked in the replay since it healed Mega-gardevoirs Paralysis. or is there something else it should do??

what pokemon work well with mixed megachomp, besides a sand setter?

Sand Rush Excadrill is a great cleaner if you are using Sand support since it can utilize Mega Chomps wallbreaking power really good and can switch into Dragon Ice and Fairy attacks that threaten Garchomp.

Weird. It showed up as still paralyzed during the actual battle. And since my Hitmontop only used priority until the end of the match, I couldn't tell based on turn order.

Thanks!
 
Is Modest viable on Mega Gardevoir, or does it absolutely need to hit that base 100 speed benchmark?
It's Spe tier in particular is very important, as there are many threats that fall below the 100 bracket that M-Gardevoir can threaten, such as Kyurem-B. But if you really want the added oomph, go for Modest.

Thanks. I just ask because the one I bred a while back (before Bank) was Modest and I'm wondering whether it's worth it to start over to get Timid. Another related question: How important is Hyper Voice? Right now I have moonblast (along with Psychic and Shadow Ball and some random move in the fourth slot that I change around all the time) and I was thinking it's more useful in a sense than hyper voice because I might at times want to stay normal forme for trace, and I like having that fourth moveslot for some kind of support or boosting.

In most cases, Hyper Voice will be superior since Mega Evolutions usually want to Mega Evolve ASAP, but since X and Y lack Move Tutors and IV breeding sucks in previous Gens, I'd stick to Moonblast for now.

Thanks. I might be getting Black 2 soon, since I doubt Z will be out until next year. I'll just stick to Moonblast for now though.

as a chlorophyll abuser, victreebell or sawsbuck?
Victreebell IMO, since it's not weak to mach punch and has really good coverage especially if you can get Hidden Power Ice on it (or you're on the simulator).

if i have a trevenant with sitrus berry and leech seed horn leech sub, what should the last move be? (not shadow claw)
Maybe Will-o-Wisp.

thanks on both instances, should i use special attacking or mixed victreebell?

Back in BW, I used to go fully special, with growth / solar beam / weather ball [breed with Roserade; becomes 100 BP fire attack in sun] / HP Ice. I haven't played with a sun team in this Gen, but I'd imagine that's still his best moveset. That said, growth DOES also boost attack, so if you really wanted you could e.g. go leaf blade or breed for power whip.

thanks for the help XD. I think im gonna go special victreebell, it might be harder to pull off with only 8 turns of sun though
 
Not the simplest or questions... But what is currently banned from ou (items, Pokemon, abilities, etc)? I've been busy and have fallen out of the competitive playing loop recently. If you don't feel like listing, a link also works. Thanks in advance..
