Last post was deleted, fine. But Kaiser literally predicted the entire meta here http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/oras-monotype.3544507/page-21#post-6410107 months ago. Maybe he missed a few types (personally I like steel) but the posts right after that covered it. Idk what the next 35 pages...

stagnant like the meta

in

Just out of curiosity, wouldn't togekiss be able to beat sableye? 252 SpA Togekiss Dazzling Gleam vs. +1 252 HP / 0 SpD Mega Sableye: 150-176 (49.3 - 57.8%) -- 95.3% chance to 2HKO If it's sp def then idk. It also might be worth noting that air slash would actually do more on average after...

I'm not sure I agree with your threats to the steel core. I haven't played in a bit so I might be wrong, but I remember keldeo and infernape being much more threatening than victini, darmanitan, and entei. The main reason is those 3 mons are usually choiced and steel teams have heatran+rocks...

not playing much atm but I'd be happy to sub if needed

Your first problem is using electevire. Also, mega ampharos has mold breaker, meaning toxic doesn't get magic bounced. Pretty sure that's how tesla does it.

Something interesting about skarmory is that it alleviates the weakness of a type rather than enhancing its strength. For steel it takes ground and fighting hits, for flying it takes rock and ice and can defog. That means that a discussion about banning skarm should not be focused on the first...

So I decided September would be my ot month and I played mainly steel. I think what made steel very good is that if you execute it properly you get a win vs almost every bad type. It does have weaknesses, electric (which I consider anti meta) is difficult but not enough people use electric...

This is sort of random and doesn't really help this tour but I have a cool idea for future tours. At the start of the tour each player chooses 3 types. Throughout the tour you are allowed to use any type you chose whenever you want, it could be bo1 or bo3 or whatever, just standard mono. You...

admittedly I got pretty lucky, won 2-1 http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-274357459 http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-274360919 http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen5ou-274362229

won 2-1 vs InfernapeTropius11 gg http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-273361706 http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-273363908 http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen5ou-273366110 thanks to whoever it was that gave me the gen 5 team

So, continuing my crusade for electric. August stats came out, steel is up, elec has a pretty good matchup vs steel although it depends on exca/ferro, but heat wave zapdos/rotom w are a huge nuisance in any case. On the other hand, elec does not have the best matchup vs psychic. It's by no means...

I play a ton of HO steel and I think steel definitely has the potential to sweep psychic. The main reason is bisharp+m scizor+doublade each pose a huge threat. I'm revealing some important stuff here so listen up :p. With psychic, I know the difficulty of the matchup from team preview. If they...

Dragon down, Ground down, Water up, Flying up ...I wonder what type might benefit from that...
