"This pokemon gets dramatically more powerful when you choose correctly" is a pretty good description of basically every Pokemon though. 50/50 decisions are the core of Pokemon, but most of the time those decisions are 65/30/10/5% decisions where you have multiple choices of unequal...

I mean, reading my post would be nice, because I agree with you ;) It's just that most of the arguments against it in this thread are terrible things being spouted by people who don't know how to even think about competitive games.

Another Smogon suspect test. Another thread of people posting "ban this pokemon, over centralisation is bad!" or gems like as if that is at all relevant to the apogee of the OU metagame that we increase the viability of your favourite Pokemon. Not to mention a few more of my personal...

Has someone confirmed through breeding that Klefki doesn't get taunt

Playing the ditto is another term for the mirror match from non-pokemon games which is what I meant. Why are you caring about a matchup with a UU normal attacker at all lol. Putting it in speed allows you to use Aegislash as a check for itself, idk why you would ever pass that up

Sorry yes that's right, but the question is are you going to use the slash in the Genosect match-up enough to justify losing the mirror to speed ties? Or do you want to go above and beyond and lose a few points of HP to beat download like that

Genesect is obviously a physical attacker and is ridiculously prominent in the ladder atm so you want them in defence if you take that attitude. um you want to put 8-12 EVs in speed so your +2 shadow sneak wins out in the mirror though, or so you can 2hko the aegislash ditto. Don't put them in...

Looking at Pyroar 254+ Atk (custom) Iron Head vs. 0 HP / 0 Def (custom): 105-123 (30.79 - 36.07%) -- 56.4% chance to 3HKO With 64 defensive EVs With Fire/Normal gives it a ghost immunity, Pyroar has a BST of ~500 with an 86/68/72/109/66/106 spread. Seems like a strong play vs sets that do...

This is an incredible post and I suggest everyone gives it the attention it deserves Smogon is obviously known around the internet as the place for English language Pokemon simulation, but outside of it's community everyone does legitimately think its a joke for its incredibly inward attitudes...

Has anyone done a calculation and has a pretty good idea of what Honedges base stats roughly are?

Has somebody measured the damage of stealth rocks? Exactly what's changed with that move
