Wasn't Popplio S-tier for SM? What drops it down?

It'll never happen because Smogon doesn't do complex bans, but just ban Protean. Nobody uses Protean Kecleon anyway, and it's honestly the one tipping point that makes Greninja completely broken because it can just transform it's type and adapt to whatever you send in to counter it anyway. I...

I needed help with the Maison so I came looking for sets and advice.

Well he's not going to be any sort of Greninja, but I can see him being very dangerous if he comes in at the right time. Switching out means whatever faces him next is going to be facing a +2 Serperior after tanking a Leaf Storm. Would be awesome if GF had given him Draco Meteor, but I can at...

I know this doesn't mean a whole lot compared to the massive streaks here but I finally got my Super Singles trophy! Now to see how high I can go before I get haxed out.

Oh boy, I'm about to face Nita. How do I not choke? I know she uses the 3 genie legends, but I'm still rather worried.

Damn, Life Orb Medicham is scary. He crit my Azumarill and came close to OHKOing Mega Scizor (I had to calculate it to see if I could even live against that thing). This place really starts to get merciless on you after 30.

I'll try another streak with my current team, but I'm preparing a Mega Kang just in case. Honestly, I had started to think that my choice in switching out Scizor was poor. I should have sacked him like you said with BP and brought a full health Latios in instead. EDIT: Ahaha, good god...another...

Well, FML. Battle 41 hits and suddenly legends: I'm sure I could have done something to prevent this. I must have made a newbie mistake somewhere. M6BG-WWWW-WWWJ-ACEQ if anyone feels like looking. I'm not giving up, but the sudden difficulty spike is making me want to change things up...

What's the generally best thing to do if I get Swaggered (or other statuses like sleep for that matter)? I nearly lost a match because I hit myself 5 times in a row across two different Pokemon. It seems like the AI loves to employ hax strats. EDIT: And life orb Tauros Giga Impact strats...also...

So what's the general conclusion here up to now? Is there any consensus or no as to whether it affects hatched shinies?

I'm new to competitive/Maison battles, so here's my try at a Super Singles team: Latios @ Life Orb Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Dragon Pulse - Psyshock - Surf - Thunderbolt Scizor @ Scizorite Ability: Technician EVs: 244 HP / 252 Atk / 12 Speed Adamant...

Thanks! I think I decided what I'm going with as far as Battle Maison, but maybe you/someone can tell me if this is any good because I'm fairly new to this: Latios @ Life Orb Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Dragon Pulse - Psyshock - Surf - Thunderbolt Scizor @...

Thanks! I wasn't sure what would work in Maison, I'll doublecheck in that thread. And yes, I am going to be using Mega Scizor.

What set should I use for a Battle Maison Scizor? I bred one with 31s in everything but Special Attack and Adamant Nature already, but I still need to figure out a good set.
