PS Name: Dusk Unto Dawn Pokemon: Empoleon

Another final thing is that Moltres doesn't take a mega slot. That could be used for something else instead.

I think more discussion needs to be had regarding Moltres. As some have said before, it has a solid STAB combination which gives it nearly unparalleled coverage in UU. I think a B rank is solid for it because it has some more pronounced flaws than Mega Pidgeot but has some more pronounced...

That was kind of my thinking, yes. I guess there's also the benefit you don't have to take up your mega slot (partially made irrelevant because Mega Aero is one of the best in the tier, but you may not want to use it because your team uses another mega). It does similar Flying check jobs to Mega...

Also, not to suggest something too off the road, but Jolteon is one of the few electric types that can outspeed and KO Mega Pidge. In fact, it doesn't even need a life orb. It's also only 3HKOed by Hurricane or Heat Wave. To me this seems like a decent offensive check (even though Jolteon has...

Mamoswine @ Life Orb Ability: Thick Fat EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Earthquake - Ice Shard - Icicle Crash - Superpower Mamoswine, probably one of UU's most polarizing (Get it?) Pokemon, is an extremely solid wallbreaker with its unparalleled coverage and power. However...

Meloetta @ Choice Specs Ability: Serene Grace EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Hyper Voice - Psyshock - Focus Blast - U-turn Choice Specs Meloetta is a pretty powerful wallbreaker. It can easily OHKO or 2HKO a decent portion of the tier, and those that it can't, can lure...

Moltres @ Life Orb Ability: Pressure EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Substitute - Roost - Flamethrower - Hurricane Moltres has impeccable coverage in its STAB moves, most of the tier finds it difficult to switch into due to said coverage and power. This SubRoost set...

What gives Dragalge trouble? Mostly, it's special walls. Blissey, Umbreon, the lot of them (Against Florges it can be a 50/50) It also has a very unique typing which allows it check several threats. Notably, there's one partner who I find has surprisingly good synergy with... Dragalge @ Choice...

I'd like to make an interesting nomination. Mega Houndoom B- ---> B I'm making this nomination based not on anything to do with its usage of Nasty Plot, but rather of its Sunny Day set. Solar Power and the sun boost makes it very difficult to switch into its Fire Blasts: 252 SpA Solar Power...
