Thank you for this. When I play random battles (and I'm guessing I'm not alone in this), I want a relatively quick battle with meaningful decisions. I also want to have fun. While moody isn't overpowered, its just demoralizing to play against when you don't have an immediate answer, which makes...

I ran a hyper offensive team with lots of physical attackers and dual shed tail early in the meta, and had a lot of success with it... Until people discovered dondozo. This one Mon just completely invalidates pretty much every setup physical sweeper in the game aside from annihilape, and has...

I've been looking through UU to find some way to effectively remove hazards, and feel like toedscruel might be being overlooked as an anti-metagame option. Its a rapid spinner with great special defense and STAB earth power, allowing it to beat Gholdengo one on one. Base 100 speed and fire terra...

Ughhhh, if only this mon got poultergeist, it would actually have a legitimate niche. The ability to rapid spin and spikes while not being afraid of a gouldengo switch in would actually be kinda legit. Without a strong one turn physical ghost type move though, it falls short. Infiltrator and...

I used a similar set successfully only with brick break instead of earthquake for Orthworm, and to destroy reflect. Looking at the way the meta has shaped out though, eq is probably better overall. Its strong, but not perfect, Grimmsnarl with reflect is really annoying, orthworm totally walls...

Going off this idea, I think we could have, say, in the third or fourth gym town, maybe an evolution hut or something. The idea is that, instead of just sweeping any team 6-0 to evolve (sounds annoying and difficult to program, to be honest), this place has little minigame challenges that will...

You gotta admit though, some of these strategies ended up working better than you would expect, even if it was very suboptimal. Snorlax hit Garchomp with an ice beam, and didn't get his attack dropped by the burn. I'm intrigued by Belly Drum Smeargle. You get a free turn of setup with spore...

Yeah, definitely. That's what I meant when I was talking about double kick. Only for Hitmonlee, not changing the move itself. Also, not going to OU is not necessarily a bad thing, just saying that I'm pretty sure this option isn't too powerful to be in this game if I wouldn't use it in standard.

I'd still say our new hitmonlee is still outclassed by trapping abilities, so I doubt it would even be used in regular OU (shadow tag, arena trap). I like the change though, although I would argue that double kick should activate this ability all the time, since it's a repeated kick move. EDIT...

Thanks everyone. I was honestly unsure if you all just wanted me to leave. I'll try to work with you all more in the future. I think I kind of took over the thread because last weekend was my last weekend before the spring semester of school, and I had nothing better to do other than post here...

I definitely do want this to be balanced, and I'm definitely open to criticism. I also would much rather work with everyone here than have flame wars back and forth. I'm sorry if a lot of the way I was talking indicated any sort of finality to any abilities I've been talking about, and I'm sorry...

Nominating Heliolisk for a C rank. Honestly I think he might be better than that, but I'll settle for a mention and debate for now since nobody else seems overly in love with this guy. I've been using dry skin, choice specs: volt switch, surf, dark pulse, focus blast, with a modest nature and...

I'm currently using regular aerodactyl as my lead. Max speed/attack Life Orb Stealth Rock Crunch Earthquake Stone Edge Basically, the idea here is I generally have two options at the start of the battle. You would be surprised how many of my opponents expect me to set up stealth rock at the...

That happened to me a couple of times to, but it works most of the time. Try to open it again in a few hours. If it still doesn't work then maybe we can convert it to a google doc.

Also, I suppose I'm breaking the rules people agreed to earlier, because I'm just choosing the pokedex entry that I find most interesting. It's still up to us to decide how to interpret it, so if we decide it's OP we can always change our interpretation. I also definitely don't think a lot of...
