I was saddened when it got banned. Aegislash is a great skill based pokemon and i could see it rebalancing the meta. My only concern is that Mega Sableye stall would be getting a really versatile second version of it's namesake. However it also is a good counter to the mega Trio (Diancie...

I'd actually argue for Keldeo more, mainly because it seems Knock off or Shadow Ball is everywhere and both hit Starmie hard. But it really depends on your team.

I've been trying Expert Belt over life Orb and it's not really working. Life Orb recoil damage seems to hurt when Rapid Spinning, but the Expert Belt seems like it would be decent if you ran Thunderbolt over Rapid Spin. If that's the case, you may as well run Life orb since you aren't spinning...

This logic is flawed. If you ban the best of anything you lose the best. But best does not necessarily mean only. When Kangaskanite was banned, the meta lost it's "best" physical wallbreaker. And Metagross itself would still be legal and still be a great pokemon in OU. It's a versatile 600 bst...

In game, ivs are more important thn simple access to the moves, (you dont have to worry about them in showdown though). if Latias is battle ready, you can use it, but note that any ADV Latias (ie. a Latias from RSE) is bugged to have bad ivs due to a glitch. Also Latias is more defensive then...

I thought Mega 'Mence's ban proved that Mega Pinsir was good, but not at bannable levels (by comparison). And welcome to OU Celebi.

For scizor, I would either go the Roost +3 attacks route, or the Swords Dance route. Roost is more for defensive Scizors that want the sustain and too wittle down opponents, while Swords dance is better for the setup sweeps. If you decide the Roost route, U-Turn should replace Swords Dance. Even...

After actually testing Mixed Greninja in game, I have to say it should be banned (even though its a core of my team). Gunk Shot does too much damage to what is supposed to wall Greninja out. If you aren't taking out two or more pokemon with 40A/216SA/252Spe You are misplaying. Let's tally...

I love Greninja dearly, but it never should have gotten Gunk Shot or Low Kick. Oh well, this might save me from breeding a third one (mixed attacker). Guess I'll have to find a new volt-turn sweeper if this gets banned.

The only reason i use forretress is I need a spinner. I would replace it in a heartbeat if i could find a good spinner/defogger lead that can learn defog outside of gen 4.

Hi, I've been trying to get into competitive for awhile now. I started in gen 1, quit during gen 3, and got back in gen 5. I've started a basic volt-turn team but have been having trouble adapting to the ORAS meta. Also have been having trouble finding players who follow smogon rules, which seem...
