Oh my god, this thread.....I'm going to need a side transplant, mine are dying because of overexertion. Thank you, everybody. Incredible, I didn't even know Donphan had the ability to study! Now everyone will shudder in fear when he shows his incredible knowledge of encyclopedias. By the way...

Agreed, Not to mention that Chandelure has things that make him a lot different from Char-Y, like ghost STAB, two very useful abilities (one of them gives a free immunity, the other allows you to get past Substitute), and of course Trick. You know, I think they actually would work pretty well...

Fur Coat Arcanine I've only lurked a bit on this thread, but this combination looks amazing. There are not many defensive fire types (the only good ones I can think of are Heatran and Rotom-H, both lack recovery), so it would definitely an interesting addition. Arcanine has a good movepool...

Ït depends a bit on what kind of spread you have. If you want him to be a defog user, I would use a much more defensive spread (such as 252 HP/4 Def/252 SpD). However, I personally think it's a waste of his great attack stat and movepool. If you need another physical attacker, why not...

Oh yes, very true. I forgot that pokebank's release allows the use of Bug Bite. I'll edit it. Did I put in Jolly? My bad, I forgot to change that when copying the format. A physically defensive set would definitely capitalize on his phyisical bulk, but it already is fairly high without...

Scizor @Scizorite Ability: Technician EVs: 252 HP / 4Def / 252 SpD Careful Nature - Roost - U-turn - Defog - Bullet punch Role: Mixed wall/Support What It Does: While Mega scizor usually takes the role of a bulky set-up sweeper (which has almost the same moveset, just replace U-turn and Defog...

Yeah, it's an event move as well, only Inkay can get it. It just doubles the amount of money you get from a trainer battle.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ubers-85601549 Does this need explanation? http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-85599810 Pin missle jolteon makes it return, slowly but surely it is becoming a staple on many OU teams, including the one Emmy2 mentioned on page 3. Oh, and let's not forget the...

I wonder, how well would a baton pass weakness policy set perform? Of course, the passing pokemon would have to be able to take a hit, but assuming they can survive a supereffective hit or two and then pass the boosts they gathered to a completely healthy pokemon sounds pretty dangerous. Pokemon...

I definitely agree that the social acceptation of mass drinking is troublesome. Especially the idea that you 'need' a drink in order to get a party started sounds silly for me. In my country the minimum drinking age has just been raised to 18 years old recently, but I would actually prefer it to...

It depends on what kind of core it is, offensive cores are geared towards having flawless or near-flawless coverage with the combination of (STAB)moves the pokemon making up the core carry. A defensive core, as you mentioned is a set of pokemon that cover each other's weaknesses and reliably can...

It depends on what your team needs to cover, because Hydro pump gives you a lot of OHKO's and 2HKO's scald and surf can't give you. If you just need it to take out things like talonflame, just go with scald. Use the damage calculator to see what threats for your team might make you need the...

I've got a very unorthodox, but incredibly useful set for Mega Gardevoir. Behold: Gardevoir @ Gardevoirite Ability: Trace EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SAtk Bold Nature - Calm Mind - Psychic - Rest - Snore It's easy enough to find a good moment to switch in with the ability trace and solid...

Can anyone help me with some coverage problems I tend to have? What are good checks/counters for: -Heatran My god this guy is good. Solid stats, great movepool, and can reliably both run offensive and defensive sets. Is there anything that can counter all or nearly all of his sets? I've yet to...
