You know, I had this bad feeling when people found out Scolipede's new HA was Speed Boost that they'd complain for him to get banned eventually. A legitimate question, why can't people just switch from Scolipede to Whirlipede? Whirl trades his massive starting speed and item for considerably...

I will admit that baton pass needs some kind of nerf, but I'll just go ahead and make a counter argument to your "dismantle" of this strategy. If lead Scolipede goes for a iron defense as his first play, it doesn't help him in any way. A crit Knock Off not only takes a decent chunk out of...

I've personally been searching for a decent counter myself and I think I've found a pretty decent answer. Has anyone here ever tried Critzor? Scizor (Crtizor) ------------------- Focus Energy Bullet Punch Aerial Ace/Feint/Knock Off U-Turn/Bug Bite Ability: Technician Item: Razor Claw EVs: 252...

To try to help redirect the topic back where it's supposed to be, I think Empoleon will be a great user of SR this gen. It has access to both SR and Defog, has nice resistances to Rock/Fairy and immunity to Poison which could possibly see an increase in usage this gen, has decent bulk, has...

I guess I'll stop lurking and state a couple things I find negative with the widespread use of SR. 1. Most of the time, 2 slots on a team are completely dedicated to SR and RS users (possibly Defog now with its new buff). That's at least 1/3 of your team, limiting your options when team...
