Sturdy's nice too, I guess, but Iron Barbs is better in most situations. It's not like either of them wants to take a Fire Blast. :P

I guess also lower confusion damage, but that's pretty situational, especially with Swagger being verboten.

Yeah, like, it can still use Rapid Spin, at least, but it's still not going to be wowing anyone.

Perhaps a stupid question, but is Giga Drain ever viable on Tentacruel? The healing on it would probably be nice, but I suppose 80 SpA on a 75 BP move with no STAB is probably not super, and I guess the coverage on it wouldn't be very good.

A non-powder(so it can hit Grass) and not Electric(so it can hit ground and Electric-absorbing pokes like Sceptile) paralysis is nice, true, and Serperior can, sadly, EASILY find room for it on its moveset, so that's probably one of the better things it has going for it. That said, I'd still be...

Leaf Storm that has a built in boost is of course pretty awesome, but does it get anything else that really benefits from that? I do want to root for it, since I have been glad to see Grass types become more relevant than they were at times in the past, but that also means a lot of potential...

I know it's probably not really a huge difference maker in whether or not someone chose Poison Fang or Poison Jab, but something people seem to overlook is that they are comparing the poison damage plus the battle damage as if both were a given, completely overlooking the rather huge difference...

Wow, some of the more embarrassing temper tantrums I've seen on this forum, all on one topic. It's stunning. This is definitely one of the most interesting pokemon this generation. While some comparisons to Alakazam can be made, it's really sort of a Dragonite/Salamence situation, where they...

I completely forgot about that. I was thinking that 'Zam was good with Magic Guard mainly for having a perfect Focus Band(since entry hazards don't hit, nor does Sand/Hail), so it'd be a great revenger, but the Life Orb without consequences is just scary.

What, no slash for Sucker Punch? :naughty:

Yeah, Arena Trap would have been pretty awesome, and not even broken, but alas. Moxie's alright, but I don't think he's packing enough punch to get the most out if it. I love Pinsir, but he's still kind of stuck in a rut.

That's when he goes nuts and attacks the trainer. Or he fires a Leaf Storm into the announcing booth if this is on PBR or something.

You also get freebie Life Orb boosts, don't you? Still, Thick Fat is just a really nice boost with no drawback, so it's not a total loss.

I know, right? How often do we get to see that kind of peril?

The commentary was pretty funny, and it being such a close ending made it genuinely exciting, but yeah, some big misplays. 7/10 would be a fair score, I'd think.
