    SwagPlay, evaluating potential bans (basic definition of "uncompetitive" in OP)

    Banning all non-damaging moves that inflict confusion would probably be the best way to do this. No serious strategy revolves around them and getting rid of those would definitely help to make the meta less luck based. This would include: Confuse Ray, Flatter, Supersonic, Swagger, Sweet Kiss...

    No, the only way Shiftry can learn Sucker Punch is through Gen 4 Move Tutors.

    It's fully evolved, so it doesn't get the boost from it.

    Pokémon Aerodactyl

    236 EV's with an adamant nature are enough to outspeed it.

    Does Salamence get "Gale Wings" as a hidden ability now? I faced one in the Battle Institute and even after i dropped it's speed 6 stages with Low Sweep, Roost still went first.

    EmeraldEnchanter, Infernape might be the Pokemon you are looking for. It's fast, relatively strong on the physical side and not weak to rocks like Darmanitan and Victini.

    Stealth Rock Less Ladder

    Focus sash isn't really that much of a problem like some people make it seem to be. Spikes and weather are still existend in this meta (hail even got a huge boost) and flying/levitating pokes have much better options than a sash, in fact the only relatively viable one i can see is Gengar with...

    Stealth Rock Less Ladder

    Play a few games on the ladder and you will change your mind. Spinners are still very useful due to the now relatively common (t-)spikes, Jelly is still the go-to spinblocker on more defensive/balanced teams and a great pokemon all-around. Stall got even better, because it's much harder now to...

    Gen 5 The OU Viability Ranking thread

    No, it wouldn't, they are completely different pokemon with different roles. You can't compare an offensive pivot/physical set-up sweeper to a specially based sweeper. By your logic everything in S-rank is just as good as Lando-I, which is flat out wrong.

    Yes. Things like Dragonite, Volcarona and a lot of SR-weak Pokemon in general would be so much more troublesome without it and could end up destroying you team. Additionally it helps to get important 1/2HKO'S and puts a lot of pressure on your opponent. Stealth Rock is often considered to be the...

    Viability of Gems in BW2

    I think ground gem Dugtrio derserves a spot on this list too. It's probably my favourite set and I've used it to great success during the Torn-T era. The additional power it gains from the gem compared to LO really comes in handy sometimes without giving your opponent the opportunity to set up...
