Akkoroflare The Akkorokamui is an ancient sea monster, noted for glowing and being red (and huge, but let's ignore that.) Flare is obvious - I was also considered Akkorosear (water + fire connotation.)

Volt Switch - Absolutely not. Electric coverage is dubious as it is when we're supposed to be threatened by water types, especially when VS lets CAP get away from them and generate momentum essentially for free. This is unacceptable. U-Turn - Presents an interesting choice. If you know your...

Oi, I just outlined a few to give a general idea of the article. fwiw I definitely would've put more emphasis on what you mentioned for Kefki - the SwagPlay mention would've just been more of a joke than anything else, and the other sets are way more consistent. If you guys would like the rest...

The idea of this article is to give some attention to Pokemon currently languishing in Borderline. I've always felt bad for things in this zone, as they're simply too good for UU and yet too outclassed to rise to OU. Most will see little use this generation, doomed to be irrelevant barring a...

I had actually considered switching Energy Ball to Psychic, although it's nice for dealing with other bulky waters like Suicine who otherwise wall Manaphy. Giving Rotom-W max SPD was more a demonstration of power thing, since you shouldn't be switching in Rotom on Manaphy anyway unless it's...
