@ Nate: I know what you're saying and that was something I thought of when creating this set. However, in about a 35-40 match test cycle, I found that this worked over 90% of the time. Could it be that everyone I faced was an idiot? perhaps, but in talking to some people particularly in the...

Possibly, but the thing I like about Slaking is he can switch into most attacks from these pokemon, survive and then attack. I won't speculate how many pokemon can switch into the majority of attacks from these pokemon (I honestly have no idea), but I would guess it's not many.

I agree, it's one of those cases when I wish a pokemon had 5 moveslots instead of 4. @everyone: it's okay for people to not like this set and disagree, that what a discussion is for. Maybe the choice scarf idea isn't original, but I know I had never seen one used competitively. It's just...

Well, its certainly not "the 'ridiculous surprise' of Diamond/Pearl" by any stretch of the imgagination, but the Smogon analysis doesnt have a Choice Scarf variant of Slaking. At the very least, one should be added. This is just a pokemon that is a possible counter to some of the more...

Yea, my bad I forgot pokemon have only one use and purpose and using variants other than the standard is not "to the point". I guess using ChainChomp or a DDmence isn't "the point" of the pokemon because thats not what they do best.

Except now that you gave it adamanat/max 252 attack, you can't take a draco meteor from mence and doubtful you can handle the other attacks as easily. Plus, you definitely won't outspeed these things now, meaning you have to take two hits from whatever they're hitting you with (i.e. you're...

Introduction: Slaking is a pokemon that is blessed with Uber-like stats; his total base is 670, placing it at the same level as Kyogre and Groudon, and higher than every OU pokemon in the game. However, he is cursed by one of the worst abilities in the game, Truant. Under Truant, Slaking only...

Choice Scarf multiplies your actual speed stat by 1.5, correct?

I don't think I personally have the experience to comment adequately on the whole Uber/OU debate, but there is one thing I have noticed regarding Tyranitar. It seems like most are looking at him mostly in a vacuum; i.e. his monstrous special defense as a result of sandstream and his other...

@ Andren: Thanks a bunch, I guess thats why I couldn't find anything. My guess then is that they probably won't fully come to be until Competitor comes out.

Can anyone tell me where I could find a listing of the OU/UU/NU tiers for D/P? I've tried to look for a definitive list for a little while but I have yet to find it; or is it possible that the metagame has not developed enough yet for there to be such a list? This is more for the purpose of me...

I think the main reason Feraligatr will never become a standard in OU play is that he is similar enough Gyarados, but is outclassed by Gyarados in several ways, some which you have mentioned before. First and most importantly, I think is Gyarados' complete immunity to the most used and probably...
