  1. Resource National Dex Viability Rankings [update post #116]

    Can anyone provide some insight on Mega Manectric? It seems like a good enough Pokemon on paper so I'm curious why it isn't ranked.
  2. Resource National Dex Viability Rankings [update post #116]

    I'm not 100% sure if Hoopa-U is deserving of going up to B/B+. I don't have a lot of experience using Hoopa-U, but in the times I've faced it, I thought it was not as good as people make it out to be. It just didn't pack the punch like I thought it would. As you can see in the replay below, on...
  3. Resource ORAS OU Simple Questions, Simple Answers MKII (Read the OP First!) (Now with 100% more Rules!!!)

    I haven't played Pokemon Showdown for about an year now, but I want to get back into it. What are the major meta changes in the game over the past year, particularly in the OU tier? I have 3 sample teams I used last year, I'm wondering if I queued a match with these teams right now, how viable...
  4. XY OU Mega Sableye + Stallbreaker Talonflame

    Sableye @ Sablenite Ability: Prankster EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe Bold Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Calm Mind - Will-O-Wisp - Dark Pulse - Recover This thing is so useful. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it essentially gets two abilities at once, right? On the turn you mega evolve it, it still retains...

    Do any of you know all the new animations? So far, I've noticed: Moonblast, Dazzling Gleam, and Flash Cannon. Any others?

    Hey Pokeaim, check this out lol http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-155128585 Tested your team cause I was bored. The ending to this game is absolutely amazing lol. #WaterShurikenNewMeta
  8. XY Ubers Mega Gengar is Hot

    Hey Aim, I'm fairly new to competitive Pokemon, but what exactly can this team do if Xerneas somehow gets a Geomancy boost? Doesn't it outright sweep the team? If anyone can answer this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
  9. XY OU Trying to use Mega Tyranitar

    Thanks for the suggestions. Greatly appreciated. I'll definitely test them out.
  10. XY OU Trying to use Mega Tyranitar

    Tyranitar @ Tyranitarite Ability: Sand Stream EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Dragon Dance - Stone Edge - Earthquake - Ice Punch This is the Pokemon I built my team around. As I needed a sweeper for this team, I chose to use the Dragon Dance set with 3 attacks. I have Stone Edge...
  11. Unofficial UUs (Read Post #13) (don't post bugs here)

    A voice on PS told me to post to this link... I guess I can't trust voices...
  12. Unofficial UUs (Read Post #13) (don't post bugs here)

    Hi, I found a big bug in the UU Tier. You can apparently use other Genesect forms like Genesect-Burn. Also, Aegislash-Blade is allowed. http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uubeta-75758089
  13. Help Needed with Team

    Overall, your team has pretty good synergy, I'm not going to lie. However, some flaws on your team are the moves associated with your Pokemon. Let's start with Lucario. EV's look good, however, the moves don't. Hone Claws can be easily subsituted by Swords Dance. Swords Dance gets you a +2 while...
  14. Good U-Turn Team?

    Latios (M) @ Choice Specs Trait: Levitate EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature - Draco Meteor - Psychic - Surf - Thunderbolt Standard Latios specs set. Basically hit something hard with draco and switch out if needed. Other moves for coverage mostly. Question: Should I replace something...
  15. Good Sandstorm Team?

    So this is a sort of a bulky type sand team. Literally every Poke on this team takes advantage of sand except for Jellicent so that is always good. I mean what is the point of a sand team if you can't abuse it. Landorus (M) @ Life Orb Trait: Sand Force EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd Naive Nature -...
