  1. Wide / Quick Guard: New Mechanics

    Should have been more clear, meant Quick Guard vs Rage Powder/Follow Me.

  2. Wide / Quick Guard: New Mechanics

    Fake Out and Quick Guard both still have +3 priority so you're out of luck there. Only M-Meowstic has a +4 Quick Guard thanks to Prankster. I haven't encountered a Rage Powder/Follow Me user yet so I'm curious to see if Quick Guard also stops those things...

  3. Talonflame Discussion

    Ah yes, I keep forgetting that rated/VGC has banned certain ones since I play free battle mostly (more variety in teams and strategies). That only leaves Weavile and Mienshao who both are weak to one of his STAB's so no problem there. I already use Sitrus Berry, Life Orb and Leftovers on the...

  4. Talonflame Discussion

    YoloFlame (Talonflame) @ Sky Plate EV's: 252Atk, 172 Spd, 84 HP - Quick Guard - Brave Bird - Flare Blitz - Protect I like this set a lot, but it really depends on your team what to use on the bird. Quick Guard is an amazing tool for doubles, especially now that you can spam it every turn and...

    Ice Beam: amazing coverage. Rock Slide: a 30% flinch chance is something Greninja greatly enjoys and this move also catches a lot of people offguard since pretty much nobody besides me uses it. Greninja is my Charizard Y killer thanks to it as all of them, foolishly, assume their drought...

    Needs a +2 swagger boost or helping hand to be powerful, but the utility it brings is far too great in doubles to not carry this move on him. Extrasensory: he attracts a ton of fighting moves/types so this one comes in handy to survive the blows and take them out. OHKO on Blaziken is a very...

    Naive with Life Orb. EV's: 220 Speed/132Atk/156Sp.Atk Water Shuriken: gives him something to fight Talonflame, F.E.A.R. Aron and Blaziken (after Blaziken gets a speed boost) among others and prevents Trick Room from completely shutting him down.

    No problem. Keep in mind that this set is made for Wifi doubles at level 50 and that I have a safeguard + swagger Meowstic to boost his attack stat. The usual special build is probably better in singles.

  9. Ah, I thought bans were for all meta's. Good to know, thanks.

  14. Power & Flexibility

    Thank you for the hint, I'll definetly search the Doubles subforum for more information and stuff. First post has been edited to incorporate changes to movesets/items and Galvantula has been repaced by M-Meowstic. Wifi Rated Double Battles thought me a lot about what was good and bad about my...

  15. Pokémon Meowstic

    I've been at the receiving end of the Meowstic SafeSwag build in doubles and let me tell you: that thing is nasty if you can't stop it right away! And you can swap out Safeguard for Misty Terrain to a get a 50% damage reduction to Dragon attacks as well (if your team doesn't have flying...
