So usually I’m just derping around (sometimes semi-seriously), but decided to mention a couple of opinions: : A- —> A I’m actually going to dispute LettuceLeaf07 here, as not only have I found Minior to be pretty solid overall, the times where it had problems were more because of how...

Played off and on for a while but never did anything like this, so might as well. Forum name: Flashrider57 Cycle 3 Alt: ZULT83 Flashrider Does my alt for Cycle 3 contain my forum name or a very similar variation/abbreviation of it as required by the rules?: As best as can be allowed.

Well, looks like a few people already had similar favorites and ideas (especially Sputnik), but let's throw this one in the ring with a slightly different Brute Bonnet take since I love using it: :brute-bonnet::dudunsparce::cramorant::passimian::mismagius::typhlosion:

Admittedly this is less a team built to feature Decidueye-Hisui and more “team I liked using pre-drop that happened to have it in a great role with a slightly-unorthodox partner", but hey, might as well: :decidueye-hisui::qwilfish-hisui::mesprit::jolteon::clawitzer::charizard...

Take my comments with a grain of salt, because my recent battles on ZU have been semi-derping around, and it’s been years since I took laddering even remotely seriously. That being said, while there’s no complaints here for the Alcremie ban, I don’t quite agree with the Thwackey ban. Yes, when...

Admittedly past the deadline, but voting post isn't up yet and this team has an odd curveball in it, so might as well post this combo Hail/DD Kingdra team that I've had fun with to throw something else in the mix: https://pokepast.es/f23c16ad7f61c340

So take the following with a grain of salt because a) a lot of this comes from derping around more than serious attempts at laddering and b) I’m very rusty given that my last real stab at competitive was…Gen 5? Yeah, it’s been a while. Anyway, Trick Room Lampent has been actually somewhat fun...

Team 1, as someone who faced it and got wrecked by it.

I'll openly admit that I haven't played competitive Pokémon in a while, and in fact came on here just to look around, but I wanted to comment on something said earlier in this thread that I personally had experience with, since I figure it might help with discussion and ideas. In general, this...

It's been a while since I've been intense with competitive Pokémon (last I did one of the on-site analyses was around B/W2) and have been off and on the past few gens, so take this with a grain of salt. That being said, that looks...risky at best, if not outright inadvisable. Weakness Policy...

So at some point during a random battle, I ended up having my Vaporeon's sprite show up next to my current Pokémon after the former got phazed out due to a Dragon Tail. It stayed until I switched Vaporeon back in and it ended up knocked out. Game log...

Quick notes based on the newest video (haven't looked at others' reactions yet, and literally first comment on here in YEARS): The Z-moves transformation actually looks interesting overall, interested in seeing how it's similar/different from Mega Evolution. Alola forms of Vulpix/Ninetales...

I'm getting someone to sub for me, because I will not have enough time for battles. Sorry for having to sub out, and good luck!

I need someone to sub for me. I've gotten busy, and I will barely have time to the analyses, much less battle, given my new schedule.

Changes made! One more to go!
