You are a scholar and a gentleman! :) Thanks.

I need to update my system (which might take a while), but then I should be ready. :) EDIT: Okay, I'm ready.

I posted this exact image on the first page... Also, I'd say that evasion moves are still worse to deal with than paraflinch. With evasion, one Pokemon sets up and then it can't be hit, but with paraflinch, one Pokemon has to set up on every one of the opponent's Pokemon, some of which might...

Personally, I prefer paraflinching to parafusion because paraflinching doesn't involve raising your opponent's ATK stat (which can be risky). The users of the parafusion combination are also somewhat frail, especially compared to Togekiss and Jirachi. I don't really care for either setup in Gen...

Furfrou has lackluster bulk and a pitiful movepool. It has a useless SpAtk stat. Its best physical moves consist of U-Turn, Sucker Punch, Facade, Wild Charge, and Return, coming off of a base 80 Atk stat. Its support moves consist of Roar, Toxic, Cotton Guard, Substitute, and Thunder Wave. No...

5th Gen NU had great discussion threads on a pretty consistent basis. I'm sure this thread won't go to hell too quickly. Don't damn it before we can even get a good discussion going. We have over 700 Pokemon now; RU and NU are almost guaranteed tiers at this point. Most of the Pokemon that...

I believe that the metagame is diverse enough already. With the weather nerf and the introduction of quite a few new and dangerous Pokemon, Gen VI OU is going to be much more fun than Gen V OU. Besides that, I rather enjoy the amount of tiers we have here already. As a faithful NU / RU player...

That is completely ridiculous. We can have teams of fully EV trained Pokemon in minutes without even having to send them into battle. I'm so happy right now. EDIT: Holy crap, bigkahuna07 has been here since '09 and just now made his / her first post.

So if, for example, all my Pokemon have Pokerus, and my Mienfoo has a Macho Brace equipped, and I beat a horde of Wingull with my Barbaracle, does the Mienfoo receive the 10 Spe EV's that Barbaracle received or will the Macho Brace double it for just Mienfoo, giving it 20 Spe EV's while...

DAMN YOU ALL I'M VOTING FOR SAWK AGAIN Amoonguss is the way to go. One of the most solid defensive Pokemon to ever grace this tier. Regenerator + good bulk + Synthesis / Giga Drain + Leftovers / Black Sludge meant that Amoonguss wasn't afraid of taking hits, especially from popular...

http://noisey.vice.com/en_uk/read/youneedtohearthis-album-premiere-gary-numan-splinter-songs-from-a-broken-mind Gary Numan's new album is currently available to stream. I thought it was pretty great.

Actually, I thought that Amoonguss deserved its spot on this list, although I had a few doubts about Cinccino. Anyway, I'm voting Absol for this round.

Absol

Absol and Samurott are definitely the next best options, but I think I had more fun with Absol than I ever did with otter. It was a great revenge killer, an excellent Psychic counter, and could run a variety of surprising coverage moves. EDIT: Actually, that post below mine was enough to get me...
