You're right on the Swampert calcs; I must have run into Swamperts that weren't running full defense. My Krook has a fine time checking M-Aero and Latias, considering it has the bulk to take M-Aero hits and even a Draco Meteor from non-specs lati. The main benefit over choice scarf is the...

In my admittedly limited experience thus far, Terrakion's best set is subsalac SD. It's threatening enough that I am surprised only one mention of the set made it into the suspect paragraphs. Will be interesting to see how it fits within the overall meta. In other news, everyone should try...

Is Serperior updated on the ladder yet? Also, will it be allowed in SPL? Inquiring minds want to know.

Player Name: FlareBlitz Tiers Played: ORAS UU / ORAS RU Timezone : GMT-5 (CDT) Significant Time Missed?: No.

I really enjoy this metagame, but Klefki is a little too difficult to play against. It is great at its job and saps momentum from the enemy team with alarming effectiveness, especially when you consider its versatility. I had one use Magnet Rise on my Rhyperior...

Would be good to hear how other council members feel since I'd like to be on the winning side of a vote for once

Can I make a couple of suggestions: 1) If a Pokemon is not UU by usage or not worthy of at least B- rank, it should not be ranked at all. This will honestly eliminate a lot of the stupid bullshit and clutter while still allowing us to keep relevant RU threats like Melo and Doublade in the list...

I've used Hawlucha pretty extensively, and I'm on the fence about its brokenness. On the one hand, I have had Hawlucha used against me for at least 70% of the 50+ games I played, and I don't think it's managed to sweep me yet. And I didn't play against shitty players. The thing is, bulky...

Won versus Marth in a good game.

If you're running Rain Dance on your manaphy you're not running extremely critical coverage. And if you're using a separate rain setter just to set manaphy up, well, you'd be better off using swift swimmers. Blissey always beats standard offensive manaphy outside rain. I don't want to hear...

I don't like the A-rank inflation is why; I initially came up with these criteria precisely to avoid everything "good" going into A-rank. Cofag is good, but worse than chandelure in many situations (can't check tini, can't get past bliss, loses to florges, etc), which is its primary competitor...

Cofagrigus is an incredible Pokemon. There are so few things that can stop it outside Blissey due to its extremely good bulk, perfect coverage, Trick Room and access to a great boosting move. I've used it as a win condition on several teams and it always pull its weight. The only real problem...

Guys, take this an opportunity to build new teams with new pokemon. Just because something isn't currently popular doesn't mean it won't be good in manaphy meta. There are several pokemon that can be used to check or counter Manaphy that currently don't see common use (Virizion, Jolteon, Raikou...
