I realized I posted this in July 19 of last year, and have done mostly nothing since then, but I finally got around to making this remix of the Kanto gym leader theme from G/S/C! I didn't care for the HeartGold/SoulSilver version, so I decided to make my own in the style of the HG/SS Johto...

I've done this with the standard 4 attacks set and it's worked surprisingly well. I found that I was never using Payback, because of its 5th gen nerf (no longer deals double damage after a switch in) and because anything I used it on could just burn or KO it anyway. Besides, the surprise value...

I'd recommend Virizion. He has very good Special Defense to switch in on Politoed, only taking about half from Specs Hydro Pump in the rain and around 66-78% from Specs Ice Beam (when uninvested in defenses), while having recovery in Giga Drain if the opponent decides to go for the potential...

HP Rock also allows you to OHKO opposing Volcarona, something you cannot do with Fire Blast. Have you guys tried ChestoRest Volcarona? It may lose out on coverage, but it can be devastating, especially if your opponent paralyzes you and thinks he's stopped your sweep. You'll have to get rid...

I haven't tried out Darmanitan, but it dies really fast whenever I face it. It takes a lot of recoil from Flare Blitz, and it's also Stealth Rock weak, which is made even worse by the fact that it needs to switch in a lot due to Choice item limitations/Superpower stat drops/U-turn. Plus, its...

I used Focus Sash Aerodactyl for a while, back when Team Preview was still new and we didn't really know how to abuse it yet, and it worked pretty well for me. I found it to be useful for beating lead Thundurus, which wrecks other SR leads with priority Taunt, and I started running Aerial Ace...

I have never, ever found Fake Out to be useful on Mienshao. Substitute is a far better option in my opinion, as it allows you to scout your opponent's move and block status, and the lost health can be Regenerated. I prefer not to rely on Stone Miss in general, and I've found that Hidden Power...

I agree with much of this, but I find that Lilligant can work both in and out of sun. Just to name one example, if you're running max Speed and you can get up to +2 with Quiver Dance, you'll outspeed Excadrill in the sand. Besides, even if you are faster than everything in the sun, then Quiver...

I haven't seen a new warstory in a while and I hoped this one would be good. I was not disappointed. Nice job! I like how you kept track of predictions on both sides.

Just sayin'. Why on earth would you use Calm Mind on Jirachi if you have no special attacks? Replace it with either Substitute or a coverage move like Fire Punch. Also, consider Body Slam over Thunder Wave to paralyze Ground-types. You should usually never waste defensive EV's on Infernape...

Alchemator, I enjoy your songs, and you have a nice voice! Do you play other instruments besides guitar? I'll probably be posting some singing, and I'm also thinking about doing remixes of Pokemon music! Most of the ones I see on YouTube are crap, so hopefully I can contribute some good ones...

Fantastic issue, keep 'em coming! I always enjoy the "Judge a Pokemon" sections.

I agree that Ninjask should be taken off the team. It's completely shut down by Thundurus, and it's not very useful to you since Infernape is extremely vulnerable to priority-using revenge killers like Azumarill or Conkeldurr. What's more, Mean Look is no longer Baton Passable this generation...

If you have trouble dealing with Gyarados and Skarmory, I suggest running Magnezone somewhere on your team. 40 HP Magnezone can survive even max attack Life Orb Gyarados's +1 Waterfall at full health (and should be able to avoid Earthquake with Air Balloon), allowing it to take on even...
