I'm slowly becoming more interested in Water Shuriken Cloyster - it's not going hugely change the meta, but I could see it being played similar to Talonflame with decent results: 252+ Atk Choice Band Talonflame Flare Blitz vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Mew: 235-277 (68.7 - 80.9%) 252+ Atk Choice Band...

Cloud Nine Infiltrator No Competitive Ability Being able to break Mega Venusaur is just too good for the secondary ability.

Aerial Ace is actually slightly stronger than Mega Pinsir's Quick Attack (and significantly stronger if Salamence uses a boosting item), for what it's worth. Actually, this would be really amazing if it got Swords Dance - probably on level with Mega Pinsir, possibly even better due to the more...

He means Hold Hands, not Helping Hand.

He was refusing to battle anyone stupid enough to use Heat Wave on Heatran.

Specs calculations: 252+ SpA Choice Specs Volcanion Fire Blast vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Thick Fat Mega Venusaur: 188-224 (51.6 - 61.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO 252+ SpA Choice Specs Volcanion Hydro Pump vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Azumarill: 177-209 (43.8 - 51.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock 252+ SpA...

The point of assault vest on stuff like Excadrill is not to become a tank, but to survive one attack that your opponent is expecting to kill you, and get off an attack of your own or, in Excadrill's case, spin. It's still not very bulky, but it can survive stuff like non-STAB Focus Blasts and...

This is a pretty cool idea, although Cosmic Power / Stored Power Clefable is viable and nowhere near broken. Maybe a ban on Stored Power + Baton Pass would do the trick?

Mega Venusaur, or if your mega slot is taken, Amoongus is the next best thing. Both of them don't care about anything it can do and hit back hard, plus have recovery to do their job more than once.

Excadrill can just use Earthquake on Latias thanks to Mold Breaker negating Levitate.

Magic Bounce Musharna Hard pick over NP Tentacruel, but in the end I wasn't completely convinced that offensive Tentacruel would be useful, while Magic Bounce would be really cool on something that actually has bulk. Snow Warning Kyurem actually sounds a little overpowering to me, and I...
