    Ask a Simple Question, Get a Simple Answer Mark III: Read the FAQ in the Opening Post

    While this is correct, this isn't a deep explanation. Game Freak is the developer of the Pokemon main series and other spin-offs. Nintendo is merely the publisher, and also advertises the games. Since Game Freak is the developer, they decide which Pokemon, abilities, and moves will find a...

    Smogon University PO Statistics — November 2011

    Swampert is pretty underwhelming this generation as a utility Pokemon. He can hit a few things here and there with Earthquake and Scald and whatnot, but it's shut down by Rotom-W and the Grass-types that inhabit OU. Stealth Rock support is better left to stuff like Heatran or Tyranitar, and...

    NU Index and Reservation Thread

    I'll kindly ask to reserve Corsola, since I found it on the priority list. It's definitely terrible, for sure, but Regenerator can ensure that Stealth Rock is set up multiple times in a match. For my second reservation (and if I am unable to reserve Corsola), Sunflora is on my list. With sun...

    Armaldo [GP 2/2]

    I've seen support Armaldo use Rock Blast. I've heard it was useful for breaking Ninjask's Substitutes, so that could find a slot in the support set.

    Basculin [QC 3/3] [GP 2/2]

    GP check Unofficial GP check Additions Removals Comments (do not add) [Overview] <p>At first sight, Basculin might seem like a run of the mill Water-type, outclassed by the likes of Qwilfish and even Whiscash. However, Basculin holds one key trait that sepearates it from the rest...

    Camerupt (GP 2/2)

    Explosion should be mentioned on the Trick Room Attacker set, so Camerupt can explode whenever it becomes useless. It's been nerfed, but still allows Camerupt to do something to the opponent.

    Tropius

    Also, Giga Drain is superior to Energy Ball, since it has improved power, and heals Tropius. Moreover, Giga Drain is also legal with both Chlorophyll and Solar Power. So yeah, I would remove Energy Ball and use Giga Drain.

    Tropius

    Roost heals a consistent 50% HP in one turn, is not dependent on weather, and has more PP. I don't think Synthesis, a weather-dependent recovery move with half the PP, should be slashed alongside Roost.
