    Resource RU Viability Ranking: ORAS Edition

    I can agree to Tyrantrum going up to A- or even A. Honestly, it's one of those mons that can decimate a team after one Dragon Dance or Swords Dance. With Dragon Dance, it can outspeed most non-scarf speedsters, sans Jolteon. It also has a typing that gives it some good survivability in the tier...

    Resource RU Viability Ranking: ORAS Edition

    I'm going to have to agree with the others. From E to C+ is a very large jump that would require a considerably larger range of reasons. Aside from the large array of moves that Cinccino has, it also has access to one of the most gimmicky sets allowed: King's Rock. The others made a good point...

    I'm going to have to agree with placing it in the D ranking it at least has a niche as a speedy Spinner, but it suffers from the dense amount of Fighting Types that roam RU. There's also the matter of Mega Lix, who'd love to Heavy Slam on anything or set up a Curse on Cryogonal. As for...

    I can definitely agree to Jellicent going up to B-. With a Physical Defensive set and Water Absorb, it can wall out Water Types while dealing with maybe one knock off. With access to STAB Scald, it can wear down physical attackers and potentially burn them and yes, Mega Glalie cannot do too much...

    I'm going to say this: Let it go. A+ rank is a fine rank for Durant and honestly, you're just repeating yourself over and over again. This discussion is getting nowhere because you are too persistent and like atomicllama said, this thread needs to move on to a new topic. Now, I completely...

    I propose that Liepard moves up from C to C+ or even B- at the most. With the introduction to Move Tutors, Liepard has even more versatility outside of Prankster support. With access to Gunk Shot, a Sash Hone Claws Liepard can take on major Fairy types in the tier, like BD Slurpuff, using the...

    It tells me... that Durant is a glass cannon still on the special defensive side. There are still plenty of mons still capable of one shotting the Durant on set up due to that garbage Special Defense and we already acknowledged the Rock Weakness of Moltres and the lower speed. However, we also...

    Resource RU Viability Ranking: ORAS Edition

    I'm going to make a guess and say that while Moltres is 4x Weak to rocks and suffers from Stealth Rocks, it has a decent bulk on both sides and a good HP Stat that gives it survivability outside that weakness (Bases: 90 HP, 90 DEF, and 85 SP DEF). Durant... is a glass cannon that would fall...

    The thing is that Durant gets hit with a double whammy of accuracy loss with Hustle. It almost REQUIRES Hone Claws to avoid missing moves, which risks a turn for it to get knocked out or low enough to be knocked out. I can agree that Moltres doesn't use moves with the best Accuracy, but at least...

    Hmmm, with only a 21.5% chance of killing Mantine, safe to say that damage calcs should also be done for the Mantine: 0 SpA Mantine Scald vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Typhlosion: 164-194 (55.2 - 65.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO That essentially cripples Typhlosion's Eruption, and places it at the point where it...

    Heya guys, I'm MisterFinch, and I've been observing Smogon for a while now. At first I was iffy about it, but now I've learned that Smogon is a cool place to look at strategies. I hope we can all get along. ^^
