Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I'm searching for a Sandygast with its HA, preferable in a Ultraball.
Since I'm just starting to breed I don't have much to offer but I hope someone has a spare one.
I can breed the IV and egg moves myself but I'm tired of chaining that thing...
That's why I said you should send something in that actually threatens it out.
If we are still talking about revenge killing then Aegislash wouldn't be at full health anyway since it probably needed to check something already leaving it in kill-range for all them.
If we are really assuming that...
The thread and discussions were so nice and now we are back at the 50/50 arguments...
How should I put it:
If your "revenge killer" is not able to kill the target reliably, then you are doing something wrong with revenge killing.
I don't send out my Gengar to revenge kill Latios because a...
What changed in ORAS that makes Aegislash healthier now?
As mentioned, its previous ban was debatable, has new checks and will be less centralizing than before.
I already explained in numerous posts how Aegislash faces more trouble in ORAS thanks to the previous bans and new checks and the only...
Just a small post about some arguments here.
There are still people who think that HO will become as dominant as before with the bad, bad Aegislash ruining the great meta we have.
As I mentioned before, there are no members of these HO-teams besides Bisharp and Aegislash left. Deoxys, the...
The point I was trying to say is that since Aegislash is the ONLY abuser of this move (Smeargle has other things to do) it is difficult to determine if King's Shield is broken or not. I made this example to show that other users could be broken with it too to the extent that Pokemon are able to...
I respect your opinion, but not everybody wants to swallow this pill. This game is created for 4vs4 Doubles (known as VGC), but we try to play 6vs6 Single. It is obvious that this game will be unbalanced and that we should try to fix it. If you would rather sit and "enjoy" this meta I can't help...
Sableye dropped because of the increased usage of Altaria and stallbreakers that could deal with it like Gliscor and Talonflame because people realized that Metagross isn't the only great mega out there. I never said that the bulky CharX set is unviable, but it is undeniably less viable than...
Just like Volcarona Charizard X and Thundurus suffer from more than just being in a metagame without Aegislash.
Charizard X lost one of it's best sets thanks to Sableye, Gyarados got Crunch which turned it into an even more fearsome dragondancer, the introducing of Mega-Altaria and Slowbro and...
Finally done with reading everything...
First of all, I'm happy to see way more good arguments from both sides than last time. It seems that the suspect test threads are getting better and better.
Now to the topic:
As many people already explained, Aegislash is NOT broken in any way. It's...
Away for 2 days and over 21 pages are here. I will read them later...
These are my thoughts after a few battles and testing:
Giratina-O is definitely not broken on the level of Kanghaskan or Salamence. You can't put it in your team and expect to sweep with little to no effort. Offensively...
You should really read carefully and think more about what you write.
Mega-Gyarados actually BEATS Venusaur because of Mold Breaker + Ice Fang. Second, I compare it to regular Gyarados not Mega.
In addition, I also said that Gyarados is way better against stall and defensive mons because of...
