I just want to take a moment and let it be known I may need an extension on my battle with Ron. I am in the process of moving into a new apartment and the wifi doesn't move from the old place to the new on until Sunday the 7th. It might cause a few complications for me. Essentially tomorrow, all...
Vicotry, if by a slim margin. Very well played. Great games!

I think the problem with Aurora Veil is the fact that removing it requires more specific teammates and or builds. Defog is not as common as it once was. I can sit down and look at this tier and name only a handful of (at the very minimum) "decent" defog users: Golbat, Prinplup, Skuntank...
Okay, I only wanted to post 1 comment on this thread, but this is getting ridiculous now. You cannot use an argument about the megas that we do not have yet being able to balance out the metagame. Are we supposed to wait for months until the right mega stones are released to balance out the tier...
