Took me 2 hours of resets just to find a G-Fetch Zone, then another hour to get the Shalpha. It’s one of the few gripes I have with the DLC - finding specific mons can be so grindy. Wish you could do something like talk to Philippe and having him special scan a mon for X amount of points.

Trust me, I was surprised too! It’s like a C ish mon if I had to guess. Boi got the sauce.

Straightforward: :pmd/sirfetchd: Sirfetch’d @ Leek EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def Adamant Nature - Meteor Assault - Sky Attack - Night Slash - Swords Dance Sirfetch’d has been talked about above, but I want to highlight just how good this mon truly is. It hits incredibly hard, and going...

Metagross is super lame without its Mega - it’s too slow and has some key weaknesses, though I guess you could do worse. Alternatives here are plenty, but there’s stuff like screens Delphox, or even battery mons like Meowstic. Spread is good, but go Brave instead of Naughty - don’t betray...

A Japanese community member compiled most of them: Where Z is the fastest, C is around the main player’s speed, and F is the slowest. Notably missing Kangaskhan (who is C), NFEs (notable ones: Pikachu, who I believe is B speed, and Doublade, who is definitely slow). This was made pre-Mewtwo...

S3 has had some interesting developments: it started as what was essentially "season 2.5" due to Zygarde's introduction not really making a splash. Mewtwo joined the fray and immediately warped the format around it. And now, with the DLC coming out in a few days, there's gonna be new moves...

I had briefly talked about Mega Scizor in a previous post, and in my mission to continue finding viable niche mons, and not use a single Restricted (yet), I took the thing out for a run today. Its overall performance was solid, and imo has a proper niche in this format. :pmd/scizor-mega...

Ooh I can answer this one. As someone who’s used mostly everything in this game, I agree w/ the above list, especially stuff like Mega Zam / Pinsir who not only felt painful to use, but I have seen exactly ONCE in nearly 700 battles. Ironically, I think Mega Malamar is the most usable of the...

Mewtwo is legal now. I’d consider this a proper meta shake-up, unlike Zygarde and its already-posted about mediocrity. Base Mewtwo can snipe a lot of stuff with its incredibly wide movepool, with MMY bolstering that prowess further. MMX has potential as a strong screen breaker with fast moves...

I’ve given a bunch of these a whirl. Your mileage may vary: :pmd/Lucario: Lucario probably has the best niche as a Steel, outside of the Metagross/Skarmory/Excadrill trio you mentioned. Sash @ Brick Break / Ice Punch / Iron Tail / Swords Dance is a good screen clearer with a nice matchup into...

Theorymon has been using LO Mixed Yveltal with Pikachu as a core; mixing in various 3rds like Houndoom lol. He can expand more on it! Sets: Pikachu @ Light Ball Level: 50 EVs: 20 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def / 44 SpA / 188 SpD Brave Nature - Volt Tackle - Charge - Thunderbolt - Play...

The Mega definitely isn’t worse lol (we all ranked it as a high tier). It’s the biggest reason to use Meta to begin with, being the most splashable and easy-to-use Xern check compared to other Steel-type alternatives.
