    Mega Gyarados might be great but I don't think he should be in S rank as he only has one set and that is DD, which is pretty much outclassed by Zard X and Zard X has a better typing in general, Mega Gyarados can wreck after a DD but Zard X is just better than Mega gyarados. Mega Gyarados is...

    Baton Pass - its role in the metagame and possible solutions to nerf full Baton Pass chains

    People have tested with 4 and it's only proved that BP still wrecks with 4 members easily, 3 is the way to go.

    252 SpA Mega Charizard Y Solar Beam vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Milotic: 250-296 (63.4 - 75.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery Milotic can't switch in safely and it's slower than Charizard Y, not a counter. It's a check. Mega ampharos has to mega evolve first so it won't be able to switch...

    Deoxys S and Bisharp shouldn't be S rank. Deoxys S is literally killed by anything that carries knock off or sucker punch, he's not even that solid as a revenge killer and as a Suicide lead he's horrible. Bisharp is a great threat to any team but he's easily manageable that even Deoxys D can...

    Baton Pass - its role in the metagame and possible solutions to nerf full Baton Pass chains

    Couldn't we have a kind of suspect test where we test how BP works with 4 members. If the test proves that BP at 4 members is still too powerful We lower BP to 3 members. It might take a time to actually gather the results and voting period but it's an effective way so we won't have to have a...

    Baton Pass - its role in the metagame and possible solutions to nerf full Baton Pass chains

    "If you have more than 4 Baton Passers you cannot use Ingrain or Stored Power (this would allow Magic Bounce to stop phasing but encourages skillful play on both sides. Since wrongly switching Espeon into Skarmory or Hippowdons physical attacks from the start will quickly tip the favor towards...

    Baton Pass - its role in the metagame and possible solutions to nerf full Baton Pass chains

    "Switch Initiative: Jolteon can use Baton Pass to scout the opponents switch and then choose a more favorable match up." Or you could just, you know, Switch? What advantage does Jolteon get by using a move that isn't even useful for him (is he so scared of pursuit users?). Just limit BP to 3...

    What? Magic Bounce works on turn 1, it doesn't affect turn order like Prankster which is set before mega evolving. He doesn't get the speed boost which is a shame though but if you lead with Absol and your opponent leads with Ferrothorn, you can set up a swords dance and spam Knock off/ Sucker...

    That was only once and then again Garchomp and his mega were together until they decided that Mega Garchomp just wasn't as good as Garchomp, if the situation where one of the Charizards have to drop in rank they can then separate them. Same thing happened with Scizor and Tyranitar.

    Just combine the Mega Charizards into one spot. Without the other, they wouldn't be S rank and they both come from the same pokemon. Alone they're A+ but the unpredictability of the different forms is what makes them S rank as they both have different counters (they do share checks like Scarf...

    Can Breloom even switch in on Zard? No it can't. If you have to sack a pokemon in order to kill the wallbreaker then the wallbreaker did it's job. Dragonite can't switch in if there are rocks. 252+ SpA Mega Charizard Y Dragon Pulse vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Dragonite: 238-280 (73.4 - 86.4%) -- 81.3%...

    Thunder gets 50% acuracy in Sun just like Hurricane. Good luck hitting with Thunder. Also S rank should include Wallbreakers as people are thinking how Zard Y functions as a sweeper instead of a wall breaker. As for the Zard Y beaten by outclassed pokemon subject, in Gen V Golurk would have a...
