Would it be simple enough to just say that you have to have at least X ladder points for your usage to count toward tiers?

The main problem with comparing Ghost with Dragon is the lack of heavy-hitting Ghost-type attacks. There's no Outrage or Draco Meteor equivalent, and instead you have to rely on 80 BP Shadow Ball, 70 BP Shadow Claw, and 60 BP Shadow Punch. The only advantage is priority in the form of Shadow Sneak.

I thought I saw a Contrary Seviper and a claim that you can get Servines from the Friend Safari in another thread? And now that both parents can pass on moves and abilities, you should be able to breed one with Dragon Pulse once the PokeBank opens.

What about Serperior? It finally gets Contrary, and although Leaf Storm, Hidden Power, and Dragon Pulse (indrectly via Fairies) all got nerfed, a 130 BP STAB attack that boosts your SpA by 2 is pretty cool.

It's more about hitting whatever resists your STAB with super-effective hits. Neutral coverage gets you nowhere. And Haxorus already gets Earthquake, which has somewhat redundant coverage with Brick Break. Resists Dragon and isn't weak to Fire: Heatran, Empoleon, Aggron, Bastiodon...

What's the best set for Gliscor now? People are saying Roost isn't that great... The set I've started running is: Gliscor @ Toxic Orb 252 HP 184 Def 72 Spe Impish Roost Toxic Taunt Earthquake Although I kinda want to fit in Substitute, Ice Fang, U-Turn, Stealth Rock, or maybe even Facade in...

Huh. I could've sworn Arcanine already had Outrage. Oh well, it's not like Outrage is useful anyway. All it gives is perfect (crappy) neutral coverage.

IIRC Wobbufett was almost RU...

This one's my favorite so far. I really like this idea as a Ghost/Grass type. But I'm not sure how it can learn Sketch...

I think it's better to consider all the really cool and interesting possibilities than it is to be overly cautious and pick something "safe" and boring. Isn't the point of CAP, especially this CAP, to consider possibilities and make something that's never been seen before? We shouldn't try to...

I'm surprised Dugtrio jumped up in usage. It's very frail and doesn't hit very hard (80 base Att sucks, even with a CB and STAB EQ). Wasn't its main job taking out weakened weather starters? Either that or in conjunction with Wobbufett to take out specific offensive Pokemon? But weather's been...

How does Dual Screens + Smash Pass do in NU?

They can only overturn bans, or if such a situation occurs, they can overturn the voters' decision to bring back a BL Pokemon.

May I suggest an alternate method? 1. Suspect voting goes on as usual. Those who rank high enough on the ladder are eligible to vote. 2. The UU Senate (which may need renaming in this scenario), through a unanimous decision, can veto any decision the voters pass. I'm not sure what the best...

That's what I thought, but people kept calling +1 Att CB "+2".

Does Band/Specs boost a stat one stage, increase damage by 50%, or boost Att/SpA 50% separately from stat boosts?

Maybe a quick "fix" for the suspect voting process might be to raise the voting requirements?

I think we started testing Wynaut towards the end of Gen 4 but by then it was too late. The set that was in fashion was the Custap set.

shrang: The same could've been said about Blissey, which limited the viability of special sweepers prior to the current generation (just compare the number of physical/mixed sweepers to the number of special sweepers). Excadrill does limit the number of possible team archetypes, but enough to...

Excadrill does have counters, including the aforementioned Skarmory. A counter, by definition, can switch in on any attack with any spread/item that Pokemon may be carrying, and then either force it out or take it out. What we're running into is the shakiness of defensive counters. A defensive...
