There's always Magearna or Melmetal.

Is anyone else thinking about skipping this season? There isn't much incentive to grind through it this time. I have all the stones from previous seasons and the 3 titles that I care about, so...

So... not only do they have to be able to Mega Evolve, they also can't hold anything other than a Mega Stone  and they must have a Mega Evolution that was introduced in Z-A? This will undoubtedly be one of the seasons of all time. At least we won't have to deal with Xerneas, right? It sounds...

I just wrapped up my run to Rank A. I had a total of 28 battles. I hit 1st place 15 times, 2nd place 7 times, 3rd place 4 times, and 4th place 2 times. I used multiple Pokemon throughout the run. None of them ever felt quite right to me. I really hope that we go back to a non-Ubers meta soon...

Dropping Electric coverage really hurts, but I guess that could always be shifted elsewhere.

Can Primal, Life Orb, or Expert Belt Kyogre function without Calm Mind? Dropping it would open up room for a second Water attack, but everything is so bulky...

I'm thinking of using GeoXern (duh), Melmetal or Heatran (Mega? Eh...), and (insert BoltBeamer here) to start off. I could do that with Kyogre, Mewtwo/MMY, Special Rayquaza/MixMega-Ray... meh. This'll be interesting, to say the least.

Oh, deer...

I tested a few Pokemon on my way to Rank A. The most successful team I had was Kyogre, Baxcalibur, and Magearna. It definitely was missing something, but it still gave me a decent record. Kyogre @ Expert Belt EVs: 252 HP/4 Def/252 SpA Modest Nature - Origin Pulse - Thunder(bolt) - Ice Beam -...

What teams are you all brewing up? I'm thinking of opening with Primal Kyogre with CM + Hydro Pump/Origin Pulse/Surf + BoltBeam since I had a massive amount of success with a similar Starmie set in this last season. Mega Magearna or Mega Diancie will take my fairy slot. I'm not sure what to run...

Ugh... I can't be the only one dreading this.

I just hit rank A today. I was in first place for a surprisingly high number of my matches, too! I wasn't expecting that with the team that I used, but I'm very happy to be proven wrong. I made some minor adjustments to the team I shared before, though the literal star of the show is still the...

I've had pretty good success so far with Starmie, Garchomp, and (insert Steel 'mon here). My lead switches back and forth between Starmie and Garchomp. Garchomp is always going to be Garchomp, but I honestly sometimes wish I was using something else. I'm just not sure what else would be worth...

I've been grinding (...meaning playing at work during my lunch break and very little more than that...) through the DLC to try to fill my 'Dex before I finish climbing from H to A. I had a surprising amount of luck with Garchomp + Mega Charizard Y + (insert filler here) early on, but I get the...

The best luck I've had so far has been with Xerneas (ugh) and Mega Scizor. I'm still trying to find the right Pokémon to tie them all together. The top contenders have been LO Garchomp and (insert item here) non-Mega Chandelure. I'm still hoping against logic that the restricted 'mons are...
