    Project OU Theorymon [Voting: Check Post #3272]

    Espeed Tauros is doing nothing for me, I just don't think it hits hard enough to warrant using over other priority users in this meta. Add to that that it doesn't have any worthwhile way to set up and that Espeed doesn't really get any benefit from Tauros' abilities and it's looking fairly...

    Trapping Abilities: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

    I don't think trapping abilities are inherently broken. You also need to actually be able to do something after you've trapped one of your opponent's pokémon for the strategy to be considered broken. That's why I think what's broken is the ability to trap a large amount of pokemon + the ability...

    Trapping Abilities: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

    The reason that Gothitelle is so incredible imo compared to the other trappers in the tier is its ability to trap everything, including pokemon that aren't able to run Shed Shell, such as defensive megas and Chansey. This contrasts with what I believe to the Mag duo's fatal flaw - because they...

    A lot of potential to try out Rain, looking down the list it looks like big rain threats such as Kingdra, Kabutops etc. are all well below the cutoff. I might give this a shot myself, I'm not the greatest but I do feel like Rain teams are a slept-on threat still.

    Setupmons

    The idea of Mega Metagross with DD is nightmarish. It has the added bonus of being able to not only smash Unaware Clefable but also being able to break through Quagsire with Grass Knot as well.

    Other ORAS Metagame Discussion

    The reason I don't feel like mega sab is a huge deal is because while its obviously pretty bulky it's not ultra bulky before setting up. While 125 base def and 115 sp. def is obviously awesome base 50 HP is definitely not so, it doesn't really give it as many free switchins as you might think...

    Other ORAS Metagame Discussion

    Just want to say, regardless of whether Greninja gets banned or not, I agree that Megagross needs to be looked at. While it's definitely not as ridiculous as Mence was, it's broadly similar in the sense that it's more or less a "flawless" pokemon. I don't mean that it's literally perfect, but...

    np: ORAS OU Suspect Testing, Round 1 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles [Greninja is Uber]

    Don't get me wrong, I understand, but I feel like items like choice scarf and assault vest aren't an unreasonable adaptation to make. While I agree that telling people to use non-viable pokemon and weird, sub-optimal sets to deal with one threat isn't a viable anti-ban argument, I feel like...

    np: ORAS OU Suspect Testing, Round 1 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles [Greninja is Uber]

    I'm not entirely sold on the idea that this thing is that broken. One of the main arguments I've seen against Gren so far is that it puts too much pressure on offense, but I don't think this idea holds much water seeing as how it gets slapped around hard by most of the prominent forms of...

    Pokémon Emboar

    I feel like it you' re going to talk about Emboar's viability as a fire type wallbreaker, you have to take into account its access to a good priority move in the shape of Sucker Punch. That's something that neither Darmanitan, Victini, or Charizard Y has, and it allows it to pull its weight more...

    Pokémon Serperior

    You're gonna have to be very careful in picking your hidden power with this thing, and build the rest of your team to cover what you can't hit. Despite that, I don't see this thing not being a threat one way or another. Definitely excited to see it released at long last, I'll gonna be using...

    Pokémon Absol

    You could also use a pseudo-Bisharp-style triple-dark-type move combination and use Pursuit in your fourth slot. You can use that to pick off fleeing pokes that you've already weakened, and it means that if you've got your Absol in then you have the opportunity to put your opponent in checkmate...
