    Pokémon Pheromosa

    without a + nature for attack, you have a 25% chance to ohko a normal 252 atk/252 spd mamo, while with lonely you're practically guaranteed. You obviously trade off damage from high jump kick, but, missing a hjk is game over for phero. So this is safer awhile being useful against sashers. If...

    Pokémon Pheromosa

    Here's my Pheromosa Set I made to get rid of lead standard set focus sash Mamo's, as well as Smeargle and Lycanroc. You trade off HJK, but the return is more significant I would think, in most of my cases anyways. C-c-c-counter (Pheromosa) @ Life Orb Ability: Beast Boost Shiny: Yes EVs...

    ayy Joey, VeedraForce here, BIG fan of yours! I wanted to share with you a team I used to get around 1500+ on Gen 7 ou pre-bank recently that I thought you'd enjoy. If anything, just try out the Pheromosa I made :) Here's Paste: http://pastebin.com/GajbxGrq And if you want, I made a video on...

    XY UU Beta Discussion (Read post #32)

    Something that can kill/block Darmanitan would be useful in the team since I usually see them run rampant around the 1500 range (Haven't been able to get higher than that since I'm new to UU and with all the Deoxy's, Keldeo's, and Bisharps running around I still think the meta could use some...

    The main thing Mega-Houndoom has going for it is its speed, dark typing, Flash Fire Pre-mega, and not being 4x weak to SR. Being outclassed offensively by CharY is obvious, however to better rate it you'll have to look at what Houndoom is good at and what is a threat it might face in the meta...

    Whether it's the swagplay that makes it good or the dual screens that make it good, we can all agree it deserves a higher score then a B-? Right? Everyone? xD I personally don't care which set is particularly better, even though swagplay, for me, was a bit of trouble compared to screens which...

    I just used the base moves/calcs from smogons own calculator honestly :p Fire blast/Dark Pulse/flamethrower were the only moves, and fire blast did the most. I did not factor in Hidden Power fighting however, and that can only kill adamant T-tar at +2, but the assault vest one actually has a...

    Ground types do put dent's in its plan, I'll give you that, but just like you can switch he can switch too. And it makes a dangerous core with Lando and Heatran, which means both Fire and Ground immunity. Also taunt, aside from Sableye/Thunderus, can't out speed Prankster Twave/Swag, so at best...

    In all honesty, I think its UU material if any. Its speed is nice, but its attack is nothing to write home about and it has average bulk at best. While its typing is nice, and access to bulk up can be nifty, it still is rather frail. However Unburden is a great ability for him, as is Limber, so...

    As someone who just got wrecked with one 10 minutes ago that did the Swagplay BS, I can attest to this. Thing is super annoying to deal with considering all but ground/electric pokemon can deal with T-wave slowing them down, haxing them, then getting swagged and haxed again, then getting OHKO'd...

    We're not here to discuss our old favorites from the past and rank them in a fun way, we're here to have a serious discussion on what deserves to be graded a certain letter based on their ability to perform within the OU meta. Even though, imo, is a kinda waste of time considering we won't know...

    The only thing Arcanine has going for it is Intimidate, and while the ability itself is great, its usage on Arcanine is not, as most physical threats are rock, ground, or dragon types, which Arcanine cannot touch, except for maybe burn them with Will-O, but there's much better burn users than...

    I'm actually interested in how he fairs now with the boost to knock off and recent offensive pressure. Intimidate is a great ability to have as well, allowing him to live a Sacred sword from Aegislash with no defensive EV's needed, then KO back with a EQ/Knock Off. 92 Speed allows him to...
