BP has gained what Arikado already mentioned, but to be honest, there were a good amount of people who wanted it gone last generation as well. There was just so much stuff to suspect, discussion never really got around to it on the large scale.

WAIT DON'T PM YOUR VOTES TO ME. I forgot to tell people that I really can't count the votes today (I won't have access to a computer from 2pm today to tuesday), so just wait for someone else to pick it up hopefully. If you've already PM'd me, don't vote again for the new person, as I'll share...

U-turn isn't really that good on Greninja as it appreciates the full coverage of Hydro Pump/Ice beam/Extrasensory/Dark Pulse much more (and U-turn just adds LO chip damage and does nothing to the opponent). It's not even listed under it's main moveset on its analysis. Anyways, I'm not trying to...

Once it traps something like Geninja for example, yes as long as you invest in special bulk. You can potentially run earthquake over sleep talk, since it get to chose what it sets up on anyways.

Not all stall teams carry Skarmory, and it can still take out pretty much whatever it wants. Also, how well do even offensive teams fare against a +6/+6 Snorlax that's just taken out something like Greninja? Edit: Not thundurus, thundurus is flying

Yeah, but it gets to chose which mon it comes in (go into a mon without taunt), and a lot of defensive teams (and even offensive teams) are going to have a problem with a Snorlax that has just taken out something like Chansey, that also happens to be at +6 Atk/ +6 Def I just don't think we...

As flavorful as the ability is, a rest/curse set would truly be unstoppable for many stall teams, and I don't think they need to have yet another thing like this to worry about. Even though Shadow Tag>"Roadblock"/Arena Trap, Snorlax is much better than Gothitelle and can even hold it's own...

Yep. Just as a general note, for the next 10 weeks I'll be working at a summer camp, and will be on a lot less. I can still manage hall of fame, but don't expect me to be too quick on updating it. PS: Someone needs to do Lucario, it's sitting at less than a percent and it's so underrated. I...

Congrats to our winners and thanks to everyone that voted and submitted. This is also the beginning of the submissions (not voting, lol) period for... SnorlaxOmastar ArticunoFlareon. Please make sure to follow the rules in the OP when making your submissions. You may submit one mega for...

Winners: Tauros: Peef Rigmar Ditto: Arikado Vaporeon: Rosenfeldius Jolteon: Jaguar360 (4 people tied for second) Clapyourhands, better step your game up...

To be honest there isn't a whole lot of inherent weaknesses built into Deo-sharp teams, as other than Deo-Sharp, they have a lot of options that can do a lot of damage by there selves, such as Lando, Keldeo, Mawile, etc. Both Sand and Rain teams do fairly well against this kind of offense, as...

My problem with Gothitelle is that while it's great against stall, it's almost complete dead weight (especially the trick/taunt/rest set you mentioned) against offense, which is for the most part, the dominant play style at the moment. Really, if you want to break stall there are better options...

Switching is for nubs

I think you have a good point overall, but I did want to point out that it can't safely come in on a few of the mons on HO you mentioned: 252 SpA Life Orb Thundurus Psychic vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Mega Venusaur: 213-252 (58.5 - 69.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO 252+ Atk Mold Breaker Mega Gyarados Ice Fang...

The metagame is so vastly different from last generation, it'd be pretty much impossible to summarize it in a post. You can get a general picture from these threads though: Overused General Discussions: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/overused-general-discussion.3502120/ Evolution of the...
