Nope, not even UU
How valuable are shiny pokemon?
really? why is that? she has a very good bulk and huge support movepool
It's highly subjective. Depends who you ask/what it is/if it has perfect IVs/kalos-born/if it's nickname-able/redis-rights/if the person you're offering it to even gives a shit about shinies...
As for Cresselia, it's better suited for doubles than singles, imo.

Use it man. Too many people think if it isn't OU it isn't worth using
first i will have to get one :)
She has a bad defensive typing and unreliable recovery. However, she's very good in doubles
mmm i tought she can use recover,i guess i wronged
No, she has to use Moonlight, which heals less in Rain and Sandstorm and only has 8 pp
Blissey and Chansey are better walls and Espeon and Deoxys-S are better at setting up dual screens. Then of course, there is her counters that she can't ever beat in a million years (Ttar, Aegislash, Jirachi, Volcarona, Most Megas, Bisharp, the list goes on). However, this is from the perspective of 6 vs 6, she is decent in 3 vs 3 and Double Battles.
Still its much more reliable than protect/ leftover stall. And with all the new megas and weather inducers currently being used, it's negligible to not use moonlight because of the rare sandstorm/sun upon switch in
*EDIT- Deleted the accidental double post
Decent in doubles? She's awesome in doubles
Only 3.5 more hours left to guess a number!
***Tatertot's Mega Giveaway Part II***
Thank you everyone for participating in the first part of my giveaway! I hope you're satisfied with your new mega partners :)
Part II has arrived! This time I'm only giving out ONE Pokémon, but it is a special one. The first Pokémon I ever bred in XY was a 31/31/31/31/31/0 Snover for use in my trick room team, and it's the spitbacks from that project that helped me launch my first trade thread on Pokebeach forums, and then my thread here. Here you'll find a descendent of my treasured Mega Abomasnow, a perfect 6 IV Snover ready to wreak havoc for you in your team, just as mine has done for me.
#459 Snover
Gender: Male
Nature: Quiet
Ability: Snow Warning
IVs: 31/31/31/31/31/0
To enter to win this little guy, comment on the post on my profile that says "Mega Giveaway Part 2! (Comment on this post)" with a number between 1 and 1,000 (since this is my 1,000 post giveaway). I'll use a number generator, and whoever guesses closest to the number generated will get it! The winner will be contacted at 10:00 PM Monday (US Central Time), so you have between now and then to pick a number. May the odds be ever in your favor!
Yea those counters are really a pain, i want psychic and ice will be better?
Cresselia is very common in Doubles, as its hard to KO and its a great supporter with a lot of moves like Helping Hand, Skill Swap, Trick Room, Thunder Wave, Icy Wind, etc that are useful there, but not so much in Singles. Singles, its pretty much just setup fodder for many dangerous foes (DD TTar/Mence/Dnite, QD Volc, pretty much anything with Calm Mind, Swords Dance Lucario...).
Its been years since I did Singles, but Cress hasn't changed much since Gen 4/5. :P
Oddly enough, a U-Turn / Reflect / Light Screen / Memento Uxie might be something you may like. Same resists, its bulky, but more than walling, it sets up your sweepers. It won't kill anything, but importantly, it can threaten foes indirectly by making them vulnerable to what you're setting up, like a DD Haxorus or something.

Besides Yawn, Stealth Rock and Memento, Uxie is mostly outclassed by Cresselia because of her higher bulk and access to semi reliable recovery.
Has anyone ever tried a defensive magic bounce espeon? Works ok... Just make sure you don't get pursuit trapped
It's good with dual screens, and baton pass for pursuit
It doesn't have enough bulk to do that. It must run either a Baton Pass or Dual Screen set to avoid being outclassed
That's sounds nice :) i will have to get one first.
Listen people!!!!! I have a big question that i didnt understand a lot of years! What the move helping hand actually do?
Anybody have a bold fletchling kicking around? Ideally one with Gale Wings?
And U-Turn. :P
Its not meant to wall like Cress, its about setting up a sweeper. Latios runs a very similar set, just with Draco Meteor. Cress is obviously miles ahead in actual walling, I don't argue that at all. Just a "similar but different" alternate. :3
I need a Regenerator Tangela and a Prankster Sableye. I can offer spitbacks for them, or I could just catch them if you have any of them in your Safari.
Pretty sure it makes attacks get a boost by like 50% by an ally
