Sturdy shedinja would be much more useful than prankster. It hard walls a ton of threats, but requires you to baby-sit it to do its job. You have to be sure to keep hazards off the field and to scout the enemy pokes for moongheist/sunsteel in order for shed to have a chance to thrive.

Got reqs, wading through the sea of deoxys. Also accidentally did the same on an alt. The CFZ are simply broken. I have lost so many giratina to random attackers with soul stealing strike or yveltal to 10M-pikacrit. Surefire counters turn into guessing games and chansey is somehow not...

Ban

So what differences did you see? I was a bit surprised that the suspect tread conversation died all of a sudden. Personally I noticed that the tier was much more diverse in attackers. I found out that one of my teams was weak to Moldy Hoopa, something that I saw once in a blue moon before the...

The whole argument of Ray+Aerilate ban vs Ray ban boils down to each person's opinions on complex bans and whether or not we are willing to sacrifice usability in the name of simplicity. What I mean by this is that each new rule for a meta increases the complexity of it, the entry barrier, and...

I have been lurking this tread for awhile and have many comments to make about the various misconceptions going around by some of our newer players, as well as props for some of the more well thought out posts. I just skimmed your post so I won't comment on most of it, but one thing that stuck...

Went 23-0. Got reqs. Used don and abused ray and ogre thoroughly. Today was a good day.
