Let's see this overrated bulk. 252 SpA Life Orb Thundurus Thunderbolt vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Assault Vest Azumarill: 296-351 (73.4 - 87%) -- guaranteed 2HKO 252 SpA Life Orb Serperior Leaf Storm vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Assault Vest Azumarill: 307-361 (76.1 - 89.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO With an AV...

I love bisharp, but there was a time where it deserved to be S rank, and it's not now. That time was back in the glorious days of the Bisharp - Deoxys - Aegislash core, when the red ranger was dominating the offensive meta. Even though its best friends have been banished to ubers, Bisharp is...

Crawdaunt does have its advantages that keep it on par, if not on on a higher level than Dragalge. First of all, Crawdaunt's speed, while not impressive at all, is definitely a step above Dragalge's, allowing it to outrun up to unboosted base 80's I believe. This is a big advantage as Crawdaunt...

I originally nominated Toxicroak to B- before, but I'm not sure if it can be considered a B ranking. It's not very splash-able; it will be pretty useless on some teams and a godsend for certain other teams. In my experience, it works especially well on sand teams, which tend to get recked by the...

Togekiss' NP set is actually legit because of its stallbreaking ability. You can run Heal Bell/Roost to have an easier time setting up vs. stall, and unlike Clefable/Celebi you can actually do something against Chansey. That being said you're underestimating Togekiss's movepool, which is more...

I agree with this, SD Scizor works great, and running 252 speed EV's is completely viable to kill Heatran and so on. It can also check big metagame threats like Lati@s and Mega-Metagross, and pairs well with a lot of Pokemon as you mentioned because of the beastly typing. Mega Scizor is better...

I've never seen this... a Trick Room Competitive abuser? Are we trying this hard to find a niche for this stupid thing? If you give any damn Pokemon a 2+ boost in attack, as well as a choice item that boosts this further, and the ability to outspeed the offensive meta thanks to a support a...

So Clefable has an obvious case of 4Mss. Really. If Clefable's stats were higher, specifically its defense, it'd have to go to ubers. If it could actually take hits from powerful CB abusers it would be a fucking monster. Also, unless a special attack is 1. Some crazy Specs-boosted move or 2...

Can't see this happening at all. It's got mediocre offensive potential, and it's speed doesn't make up for it because it's getting outrun by anything above 101 with your set. I honestly can't see this guy being useful against any playstyle. Against stall, it's easily walled by Sableye/Clefabe...

Gothitelle is no Mega Gengar. Against pretty much any offense team it's a complete deadweight that cannot switch in or check anything due to bad bulk/typing. The only thing I can imagine it trapping is an Azumarill at low health, and even you're losing momentum to an offense team (not good)...

One of the main differences is that while Weavile can run a lot of coverage like Greninja, it doesn't give it the ability to check things with its coverage. This is because its coverage moves are simply, unlike Greninja's, not powerful enough. You're not checking Keldeo with Aerial Ace. It does...

lol scald So I've been using Toxicroak for the past few days, and it's actually been proving itself to be a pretty solid OU Pokemon. It should go from C+ to B- because: It checks a good handful of very threatening OU mons like Bisharp, Gyarados-Mega, Keldeo, Azumarill, and nearly all other...

I was saying that, because Weavile is most commonly found on largely offensive teams; which tend to be quite threatened by Azu and Keldeo. I also don't really see why you'd make a team based around something that primarily excels at revenge killing. If anything Weavile is put on a team to check...

I agree with everything except: Lucario - Sure it's frail, but unboosted CC's are still hella powerful, and unboosted E-Speed is still finishing off a lot of mons on offense. You can also tailor it to handle what you want; Fairies or bulky Psychics by opting for Iron Tail or Crunch. Staraptor...

Can someone explain to me why Goodra is in C+? Does it provide some kind of specific niche? It has good special bulk and coverage but besides that I don't really see how it is better than any of the other C+ rank Pokemon, who each provide one or more useful or specific roles . Goodra can't...
