Like many have pointed out, Giratina-O seems completely ridiculous on paper, though practice may show differently. I think that with its rather substantial weakness count (5 I believe) combined with its actual typing, It can balance fairly effectively. For a simplified example, it can get...

I had actually been considering either going back to Sylveon, or swapping out Moonblast for Stored Power. Hadn't really decided, but Bubblegum (listed under the past members section) may very well be returning to the team.

All edits suggested thus far have been added and a replay showcasing most of them (all but Charizard's new moves I believe)

Making these edits now! Later I will edit the OP to include the new members, as well as a past members section.

Did not catch that in my scan of the thread. My apologies.

Is it too late to reserve Virizion in light of its recent drop to NU? If not I have a unique set I would like to submit alongside its standards :)

Jeez, half the shit that goes Uber wouldn't go Uber if the anti-ban camp would actually get reqs instead of just constantly bitch.

Ahh I see. I will definitely try out the Rotom-W then; I have not seen many Excadrill without Mold Breaker.

I appreciate the input! While I do want Giga Drain on Serperior, I would more readily replace Dragon Pulse, as Glare is an excellent support option to paralyze incoming threats that may be scarfed. The Charizard EV spread I will give a try for sure. As for Rotom-W, I question how it can counter...

Allow me to Introduce myself! I was a lurker in the budding competitive community for quite a long time (since the days of FRLG) and in BW1 decided to officially make an account and join. I have two showdown accounts, one to coincide with the forums one, and one for my Youtube Channel (Defender...

Yes you can do that indeed, which will be amazing. Contrary Servine i see as possibly an epitome of bulky setup sweeper here, but we'll see it in practice in 6 days.

i've been messing around somewhat on the ladder and I gotta say there's plenty of NFE's who do some work. I've used a stall-ish Servine to excellent success, which i love. I'm loving the tier and I gotta say it's cool seeing some LC mons usable outside of LC :) I hope the meta evolves to include...

Reserving Drapion as a check
