I'm currently in uni to become a pharmacist, but I'm already half way through the course and I don't feel like it's the career for me. Honestly, I have no idea what I REALLY want to do. The closest thing to a hobby that I currently have is competitive Pokémon, but I'm not sure if that's really...

I can't wait to spam Mega Diancie's Moonblast. I absolutely love Mega Diancie, and this tournament looks like the perfect environment to use her. Does anyone know a good potential moveset for this meta or should I just ape the doubles set?

When I bought XY, it was the first time that a lot of my friends had the game as well, and they always beat me in battles. Determined to prove myself, I looked up good movesets on various websites until I found Smogon and never looked back. The forums are great, the environment here is far...

Hi Smogon, this is s0nido here. I've actually been here for just over a year, but have been fairly quiet during that time (as evidenced by my post count). I came to Smogon after a friend of mine got me into competitive Pokemon, a field of Pokemon which I never thought to delve into until he...

The go-to set is the SubCoil set, which looks something like this: Zygarde @ Leftovers Ability: Aura Break EVs: 252 HP/4 Atk/252 SpD Careful Nature - Substitute - Coil - Dragon Tail - Earthquake There is maximum investment in SpD because Coil boosts Zygarde's Defense anyway. EVs can be shifted...

That's not to mention the bulky waters which can take its special and/or phsyical hits and retaliate with a super-effective Scald.

I don't think people realise how piss-poor M-Diancie's 50 HP really is. It does have very good 110/110 defences, but its HP really lets it down and doesn't even let it take resisted hits that well. That's not to mention the plethora of Steel-type moves running around the place. It's...

say that to 50/85/85/55/55/50 BST and a piss-poor movepool. it just won't survive in the upper tiers unless it finds a REALLY specific niche. regarding the tier shifts, though, we lost some nice Pokemon to OU from UU, but I'm still really glad that we have Altaria and Diancie. Let's just hope...

They forfeited, but it was after I took out 3 of their Pokemon, so does that count? Where He At Doe? http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uu-180516942

Is this really a problem, though? Running Ice Beam means that bulky waters can hit Pokemon like Roserade and Mega Ampharos super-effectively, two Pokemon which threaten them. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it'd be overcentralising to run Ice Beam if it means that these Pokemon have to...

If a Pokemon needs little to no support to function, and can basically be slapped onto teams to achieve victory with little skill required, that makes it broken. When people are arguing that Zygarde needs support in order to function at its best, they're arguing that it's not broken because of...

If we want to compare Zygarde to a broken mon, we should compare it to Salamence, who could routinely destroy teams after just one turn of setup. Zygarde can't do that as well as Salamence could, at least with its SubCoil set, which is why I can't see it as broken. I've yet to test the DD set...

I'm not very high up on the ladder, but I threw Zygarde on my team to see whether or not it could work for me and how well. I've been using the SubCoil set, and while its good, I don't think it's broken in the sense that you can just slap it on a team and make it work. While it's quite bulky...

Hey, saw that you were looking for a UU battle. Here's my FC if you're interested: 0662-5077-5800
