  1. Resource ORAS OU Viability Ranking Thread V4

    bludz just blacklist Sylveon from discussion tbh lol Anyway, taking a look at D-rank, most of the pokemon there seem to be crappy gimmicks that you actually choose to build a team around and not so much mons that could potentially have a few useful qualities on specific teams. If this resource...

    Mega Lopunny A+ ---> A Not as threatening as it once was. It's a lot harder to use this mon with more bulkier builds running amok (esp. with the sudden spike in the popularity of Amoonguss and Tangrowth). Strong wallbreaking fighting types are generally preferred atm, as shown with Mega...
  3. Resource ORAS OU Viability Ranking Thread V4

    i think the guy gets it. Mega Alakazam sits comfortably in A+ due to the aforementioned reasons. There's no need to beat his post down to the dirt with 5+ replies and discourage him from participating in the forums. And yes, i do feel strongly about this in what's supposed to be a positive...

    ah, didn't think of Mismagius. Thanks. (though i must say I miss Golbat)
  5. Resource Ask a simple question, get a simple answer: NU Edition

    Are there any good stallbreakers in NU?
  6. Resource ORAS OU Viability Ranking Thread V4

    I feel like I'm going to regret posting here, but here goes. Tangrowth B+ ---> A- The Physically Defensive set is fantastic, halting many strong physical attackers in the tier like Garchomp, Dragonite, Excadrill, Landorus-T, Lopunny, Azumarill and Metagross. Whereas its main competitor Amoonguss...
  7. Resource ORAS OU Viability Ranking Thread V4

    Just saying, I think generally if a Pokemon is unviable but bound here by tiering restrictions, said mon should be ranked (even if its E-rank like down in RU or D-rank in UU and Ubers). Things that Sylveon has over its competition are its sheer power, the fact that it doesn't take up a mega...
  8. Resource ORAS OU Viability Ranking Thread V4

    Mega Charizard X I promised myself i would never post here again, but then i saw this so screw it. And I absolutely love how my nomination was ridiculed when I brought this up 2-ish months ago. Of course people will most likely disagree with me again, but it's an A mon. Yeah, drop it for...
  9. Resource ORAS OU Viability Ranking Thread V4

    i didn't question his nomination wth. i simply stated the reasons why it was (to many people, to myself, and on the smogon analysis) underwhelming as a mega at the time that it was nominated for a drop. p2's reasoning was that people use aerodactyl's four attacks set incorrectly (they use it as...

    i think it should move up. being a check to keldeo and switching into several common attackers like garchomp, azumarill, diancie, lando, and lopunny for the most part, confortably is pretty great. scald to fish for burns (no pun intended), knock off for utility, and toxic to cripple walls...
  11. Resource ORAS OU Viability Ranking Thread V4

    Regarding Zapdos and its Subroost set, i personally don't think that it is its best set. its a nice relic from gen 4, but its a lot harder to use now than then. for one, the subtoxic set was best used with toxic spikes so you can free up a moveslot for something like heat wave or hp ice...
  12. Resource ORAS OU Viability Ranking Thread V4

    the wisp statement i made was out of line. sorry, i was exhausted from working out at the gym so i said a few stupid things in my last post. the points im getting across is that Charizard X is a mega evolution, meaning that the opportunity cost is huge especially in oras ou where the mega slot...
  13. Resource ORAS OU Viability Ranking Thread V4

    I'm going to have to say its not the best in A+ at the moment and arguably worse than a lot of A+ for the reasons I stated. Opportunity cost Sand, Heatran, and Lando-T (btw Support Ttar and Slowbro can live a +2 Adamant Dragon Claw) Heavy restrictions on when it can do its job Heavy reliance on...
  14. Resource ORAS OU Viability Ranking Thread V4

    I'm gonna safely assume that the Mega Beedrill discussion is over. Here's a rather controversial that will probably get a lot of heat: Mega Charizard X A+ ---> A i know everyone loves mega charizard x because of how easily he can tear up teams in a single dragon dance. i've been playing with...
  15. Resource ORAS OU Viability Ranking Thread V4

    lol if you insist... S-rank Clefable: Clobbers it with poison jab. Tornadus-T: OHKO's after rocks with poison jab Keldeo: cleanly 2HKO's with poison jab A+ Mega Alakazam: You lose here unless it attack it before it megas. Azumarill: Generally, you have a chance to live banded aqua jet at full...
