Status isn't actually as big of a threat as one may assume for my team. Usually the opposing team is hesitant to try to set up status with mega sableye present, and if my opponent goes for scald I invariably let amoongus take the burn (unless my opponent is manaphy in which case I switch in...

Hey mil, thanks for the rate! The ttar set is interesting and could work. I used to run chople berry over assault vest with the current ev investment, but I found the extra sp.def gained from av more useful so I switched the items, although equipping Chople could work with the changed set and...

Haha, thanks! I am usually right though.

Thanks for the rates bludz and astral! You are correct, Bludz, in pointing out that mega-gardevior is a threat, although it is not as big as one may initially think. There are three ways I typically deal with it. First way, switch in amoongus to take anticipated hyper voice, then switch ttar to...

Hi guys, thanks for the rates! The tyranitar or chansey debate is understandable, however, I feel tyranitar is better for the team as it allows me to deal with volcarona, mega char x and y (once they are para'd), kyurem-b, victini, hoopa-unbound (if scarfed or lacking dp) and a whole host of cm...

Background Hi Smogonites, mastermind here and today I am presenting my second and final RMT. I started playing competitively back in Gen V and, as some of you may know, I specialize in stall, specifically regencore, with my two stars: Slowbro and Amoongus. My team has seen many iterations...

So I feel like everyone has presented their different reasonings for keeping or banning megagross. After reading these, I feel that megagross has enough counters to keep it in the ou meta. As such, I vote NO BAN. Here is my proof for reqs...

Personally, I oppose the ban for three main reasons. 1. Although she hits super hard, MegaMawile is one of the slower mons in the tier, meaning it is very easy to hit it hard first, scare it out and possibly stat boost, or inflict it with status. WoW, for example, is extremely popular in OU and...

Sorry cuteflounder, I meant to ask you in the last post, but could you explain the reasoning behind the Gliscor EVs or link me to where you found it. Thanks!

Let me begin by saying I think your suggestions cuteflounder are brilliant and right on the money. So many of my teams major threats such as Mega Heracross, Mega Zards, and bulky WoW users seem to be much easier to deal with by adding in that Zapdos and Gliscor combo. I will implement the...

Thanks for the replies. As far as Focus Punch goes killingjok, it is superior to Brick Break, in my opinion, due to its extra power. I use it a lot against Skarm, Mega Charizards, and Heatran, and let me tell you, it works in that it oftentimes Ohko's when it hits unlike Brick Break. Personally...

Preface Hello Smogonites, Mastermind here with my first RMT. The concept of Regen Core has always fascinated me ever since it was conceived back in Gen 5. I have always felt that it is a surprisingly under-utilized play style that is excellent for scouting and dealing with residual damage...
