Fun fact: Palafin has access to Boomburst. You could slap together a goofy-ass Specs set (Boomburst/Ice Beam/Wave Crash because 160 Attack/Focus Blast or Flip Turn) and actually threaten to 2HKO just about every returning Pokemon in OU. Not saying that you ever should, but you could.

Between Baxcaliber being more blatantly Godzilla, Beta Tyranitar looking way more Bemular-ish, and Mega Tyranitar highlighting the common elements between base T-Tar and the final form of Psaro from Dragon Quest IV (both green when that's an odd color for both Godzilla and Rock-types, both lose...

Getting a triple bonus in VGC (without Revival Blessing, and even that assumes that it's counting number of times your Pokemon have fainted and not number of slots of your team that are occupied by KOed 'mons) still means having one 'mon standing (er, sitting) on a Doubles field. Assuming your...

So, something about Supreme Overlord that I haven't seen mentioned: 10% per fainted teammate is way too weak to use in any of the official formats. You can't get more than a 20% boost out of that in Battle Spot Singles, and getting the full 30% from having three dead friends in VGC means diddly...

Salutations, fellow Rock-CHADs! Forgive me for skipping over the past few dozen pages of discussion, but I simply have to know what bounties have been mined from this game for the ore-iginal hardtype? What wondrously strong and accurate moves have we been blessed with? Has Accelerock gotten the...

Boy howdy is Hydreigon happy it picked up Throat Chop.

I got a Timid Latias after about 20 resets on Southern Island, 30 / 31 / 28 / 27, 29 / 31 / 31. Oddly enough, almost every single one had that 31 in Attack. Do I keep this one?

He mentioned priority users in his second point, actually. And the ones you mentioned have trouble switching into Greninja's moves, especially if Stealth Rocks are in play.

That's what I was getting at. The move's attributes looked too silly to not be default behavior.

I'm pretty sure that's just Serebii's default pattern for Physical moves. And even if that's the case, then according to Serebii it ignores Protect and similar moves anyway.

The thing is, Zygarde doesn't get Dragon Rush. Yveltal does. Sorta like how Yveltal doesn't get Night Slash, but Xerneas does.

Is anyone running Black Sludge on non-Poison-types? Gliscor seems to be the most probable wick for this candle...

The only source I've been able to find for those Volcanion and Hoopa stats is here: http://pkgamers.skn1.com/printthread.php?tid=123 From what I understand, they assumed neutral natures for their estimates, which isn't true. The obviously erroneous Diancie stats listed failed to account for the...

Sashed Shell Smash Simple Swoobat's Stored Power, Shadow Ball, Something Else sets = Stupid Strong.

Is there any merit to Tyranitar's Trick or Treat? It seems like the sort of thing you'd throw out as a failsafe when your opponent switches to a counter. Suddenly, Crunch is only resisted by Scraggy, Scrafty, and Pangoro, which could easily be handled by something else on your team. It also...
