Arifeen and Arvada great posts. My biggest problem about Zard X is simply how well it completes flying. I don't dislike Zard X but the fact that it is on flying which already has a huge repertoir of mons at its disposal. Zard X itself is not broken, but the coverage and support it gives to...

Ok, your counters aren't even counters. Glaciate Scarftini like really? 252 SpA Victini Glaciate vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Mega Charizard X: 68-81 (22.8 - 27.2%) -- 56.1% chance to 4HKO Look at taht puny damage. How does that deal with Zard X in the slightest. It just roosts off damage and EQ's or...

If you ask me this sounds exactly like Charizard X against electric. But aparrently that isn't enough reason for a ban so I personally don't think this should be banned either. Granted it is really strong, but it levels the playing field for ice.

I realize that Charizard X can be stopped but it places a HUGE restriction on teambuilding and the metagame. First this thing is not easy to revenge kill for most types. You need a powerful scarfer and even then Char X can be switched out. 25% dmg from SR isn't very much do dent Zard and his...

Ok, so I'm taking a break from fire, and i'm going to nominate Crawdaunt for A-rank on dark. I really love this thing, because of its incredible power. It is one of the reasons that my dark Core Challenge team peaked at 1556. Here is the set I ran. Crawdaunt @ Life Orb Ability: Adaptability...

Ok Charizard X is very restrictive to the metagame. While it can be checked it is very hard to do. It wreaks havoc on many teams Electric, Bug, Grass, Fire, Steel, and many more because of its versatility. You almost never know whether to expect bulky or offensive zard. Char X has plenty of...

Just out of curiosity, people are really only complaining about the scarf variation of skymin right? Is it possible to just ban it from using scarf? I don't know, just an idea.

So as one of the users to really advocate Fletchinder, I have really been looking forward to this post. I am nominating it for B-rank on fire. Fletchinder has quite a few useful niches on a fire team. It is currently at C-rank C Rank: Reserved for Pokemon that are only used to check a threat...

I agree that it is very possible to win hard matches without skymin, but i don't think it is a pressing issue in the metagame. I understand you can simply spam moves, but it is something teams have to work around. I don't think it is currently playing a huge role in the monotype metagame. I...

I have tried plenty of types including grass. I would like to note that while skymin can occasionally destroy teams I don't think it should be suspected. First, take a look at the top of the ladder or the MMC. There are virtually no grass users, because although they have skymin, one can not...

Can I nominate fletchinder to B-rank for fire?

Charizard X completely destroys most electric teams. All those calcs were done with a non-boosted zard. After +1 it can literally shred electric. The best way to stop it would be a t-wave thundurus followed by ampharos. But should electric really be sacrficing 2 mons to bring it down. It...
