First of all, that is in fact not the standard set. I referenced the stats page when typing my points out. The set you listed, Naive 40/216/252, is among the very rare spreads, 2.3% of Greninja on Water. The Hasty version of that is 0.7% of Greninja on Water, adding to a total of 3% of Greninja...

I've just been reminded of the check that flying does in fact have to Greninja, which would be Articuno. Despite Articuno's Stealth Rock weakness it still beats greninja, as anything less than Rock Slide Greninja or at least Life Orb Greninja Gunk Shot with investment (neither of which are...

To be honest, you haven't done much for yourself here. You have a right to voice an opinion here, that is true. However, if you're just going to shoot down everyone that replies to you with suggestions and then proceed to insult everyone then you're really not going to be welcomed here, and your...

You've never seen a jolly sand rush Exca?

Okay, I've noticed an inconsistency with the arguments against Greninja. People keep using Mega Sableye as a reason to ban Greninja. I'm 98.3% sure that Mega Sableye is being banned on dark for reasons of being utterly broken, so it might not be wise to make points with Mega Sableye. Excluding...

The problem I take is the fact that Flying has ways around those things you mentioned. Multiple, in fact. Anything you can check it with that isn't Ice, it can easily check in return while remaining fully viable. If a person looks at the last three months' stats, they'll see that its getting...

Problem is, flying only has two negative win ratios. Ice and Ground. Seems a little OP. It takes up over a tenth of the meta and has only two 'bad' matchups, one of which is still winnable with some decent predicts. Limiting all seventeen other types to less than ninety percent of the meta seems...

Flying: 10.40% ... CAN WE NERF IT YET?

The stuff about mega Sableye on that post. The thing saved it as a draft and no matter how many times I deleted it, it was still there. I hadn't even intended to mention mega Sableye. Bulkraptor is used to keep stuff off the field, and you really don't need to plan for Swords Dance Terrakion...

Doth thou not use bulkraptor? Scarf Terrakion actually has trouble against it when played well.

Isn't it obvious? Over nine thousand.

Okay, first problem. Your team has no Stealth Rock and you're using Rock (cue gasp). Shuckle should be a hazard setter to you, not a staller. It can set Sticky Web and Stealth Rock, and your lack of Choice Scarf means you seriously need it. Tyranitar and Cradily both need natures. Brave for...

The type that does destroy flying, Ice, loses to so much of the rest of the metagame that it just never got to top usage. Water, which is in my mind the second best at this job, is highly competitive in the metagame and thus is the third most popular. Also, a water team on the ladder is far more...

To be honest, I think its just a measure of how useful your options are as checks or counters to the most popular pokemon in the metagame. Greninja, for instance, would be less popular if flying were not a popular type, because the need for it is lower. Not to say it would be unpopular, it still...

LOLGODDANGIT I TOLD THIS THING TO STOP SAVING THAT LINE, I DIDN'T WANT TO POST IT!!! Sorry, I've just deleted that line from here, like, five times and it wouldn't go away. I thought it was gone. ;~; I'm sowwwy.
