^Rhyperior looks pretty cool, just make sure to get some teammates not weak to water and grass haha. Venusaur might be good but his only STABs would be poison jab and hiddenpower. Here's a team I have been using, and I saw some discussion on Lucario so.....Ta daaaaa! Lucario @ Life Orb...

Ambipom dies so fast which is why I avoided Life Orb recoil for Silk Scarf, and Guts would only end him faster while dealing less damage. The recoil thing is important because then teams can't Regen-switch around or spam Recover and let you die from your own means. I can understand he usefulness...

Last day for OMotM, so here's a fun set. Ambipom @ Silk Scarf Ability: Adaptability EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe Jolly Nature -Fake Out -Last Resort This is surprisingly powerful. 252 Atk Silk Scarf Adaptability Ambipom Last Resort vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Hippowdon: 196-232 (46.6 - 55.2%) --...

Seems about 50/50 with band v life orb, with all the checks people are testing it can be very useful to change moves to UTurn scout or use a coverage attack and wear down checks. Life orb also allows them to Roost (and in Braviary's case, use Bulk Up) and continue attacking, rather than let...

BirdSpam, MBounce, stall in general has been bothering me. No longer.. Regirock @ Leftovers Ability: Mold Breaker EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def OR SpD Impish Nature (OR Careful) - Rest - Toxic - Block - Rock Slide This Regirock can handle both kinds of irritation. First pick the stall wall...

Guts Rhyperior could be a usable attacker too, since we're discussing the Rocky rhinos. I just had this battle, great opponent, horrible hax. Please, Chatter must go. It has never been a competitive move and adds nothing to gameplay but frustration, and Gale Wings is now added to it. Basically...

As much as I love Arcanine, he definitely isn't as strong as you say. However I certainly am a supporter of his A+ rank because of how difficult he is to bring down and how useful his specific moveset is in play. On paper he may seem underwhelming but on the battlefield he does much more than...

I don't think I ever made a statement about Zygarde regarding its rank, however I would be inclined to side with S because of how well it can setup and sweep. It handles most of the metagame with only DragonSpeed and EQ, however Skarmory and Togekiss and quite useful in this meta and can destroy...

Everyone seems to have forgotten that Soundproof exists. I know it's notorious for having few and low tier users, but it's definitely usable. I have been running a Soundproof Exploud on my two best teams, and since everyone expects it to be Scrappy it can switch in on the (choiced) Boomburst and...

Very strong Fake Out + Return (it still gets the 30% boost), HJK was great to kill Aegi, perfect neutral STAB coverage, faster than Noivern and Weavile and everything else, great attack, etc etc

Whaaaat? I didn't think there was any other than freeze. Thanks for the info, I'm gonna just change it to Return and settle for less power. Also, any word on viability rankings? Here I'll make it easy: S: Noivern, LandoT, Weavile, MMedicham, MAerodactyl, Lucario, Zygarde, Arcanine, MLop, and...

Anyway back to the actual metagame we are playing in, I finally found a great stop to MegaMedicham and actually lots of other attackers. Spiritomb @ Leftovers Ability: Infiltrator Shiny: Yes EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def Impish Nature - Will-O-Wisp - Rest - Sleep Talk - Facade...
