At first glance this month has potential for rain teams to go crazy. Prankster Meowstic can enable it, and then at least three abusers to boot- Heliolisk, Ludicolo, and Armaldo. And then there's Castform lol.

Well if we're wishlisting non megas, put Tinted Lens on my boi Flygon or give it Bug-iate. If a Pet Mod can't redeem Flygon, perhaps nothing can. Edit: welp Flygon is Bye-gone in ZA currently :(

Mega Evolution: Mega Pyroar New Ability: Lion's Share +1 SpA boost upon KO Reasoning: It's ZA dex entry says The male with the largest mane of fire is the leader of the pride. It feels right to me that a leader who defeats its opponents only grows stronger with power. And would do it justice to...

Why is Flygon not in the Nat Dex RU viability rankings when its currently ranked in Nat Dex UU in at least C? Is it not at least a viable scarfer?

The question is whether to keep it as a mainstay or to treat it like an OM. If it is that powerful of a mechanic, toss the whole concept to Ubers where it...

Just a guess here but I'm thinking it will be fighting type coverage for stuff dark and bug can't break. I'm interested to see base power compared to HJK and the confusion chance. Honestly think Lokix will fall slightly short being in OU (hope I'm wrong). But Tinted Lens is pretty badass ngl...

Welcome to Smogon and competitive battling. I'm a user like you and play a fair bit of RU. Every player goes through the rabbit hole you're in right now. My suggestion? Take one or two pokemon you want to build around. Then figure out which tier it's best used in. In this case you picked Bewear...
