Well, it's not really for one Pokemon, since all Ghost-types are hit harder by Shadow Ball than Tinted Bug Buzz (thinking of bulky Pokemon here aswell, such as Dusclops- and Misdreavus-lines, or Drifblim and Haunter, that still resist Bug Buzz), Rotom is just a prime example since it resists...

I think you need to add Shadow Ball in OO for 2 reasons. First of all, it's practically the only coverage option that isn't availeble to Vivillon in addition to Giga Drain, and it lets you hit Ghosts for better damage overall. I'm mainly thinking normal-Rotom, since it actually resists both of...

I think I have to make a case for Magneton to move to B-. The reason is very simple: It is one of the hardest-hitting special attackers in the tier, and it can do serious damage against every balance or stall team, even some offensive teams. With a simple moveset of VSwitch/Thunderbolt/Flash...

Well, a simple OO mention was something I was aiming at. And I didn't mean that Sludge Wave would be a better move than Focus Blast, I meant that Gengar just kinda falls prey to Chesnaught due to the need of having to have coverage for more pressing threats. And although Chesnaught is by no...

Something that could be mentioned is that without Sludge Wave this Gengar set becomes a set-up fodder for Chesnaught's Spikes. After Chesnaught has set Spikes, it can Roar Gengar to rack up hazard damage to opposing team, or plow through Gengar with Wood Hammer. (On a unrelated note, Gengar's...

Roseybear I agree with you that the meta has changed to a point that it could be possible to bring Magnezone down to UU. However, giving a list of calcs and a check/counter list isn't the best way to approach Magnezone imo. First I think that Magnezone's counters are few and far between, because...

This is more of a nitpick more than anything, but I'd like to respond to a few points made above about Magneton. Although it's true that Blissey is a dominant force in the metagame, I wouldn't necessarily say it's a hindrance to Magneton's performance. Sure, Magneton finds it hard to break...

I think Magneton is an awesome Pokemon to use, just because it shares so many qualities with Magnezone, who we all know very well. All Magneton really needs is Specs, Tbolt/VSwitch/Flash Cannon/HP Grass and you are sure to do buttloads of damage to anything not named Blissey, courtesy of...

Well, this is all theorymon, so sorry about that in advance, but I just don't think AV is the most optimal set Throh, just as you implied in your post. It does have the bulk and strength to pull off an AV set, but the lack of recovery hurts so much that AV fails to be viable. Throh is such an...

k, so actually the point of my post was that with the SpD EVs, Eelektross can switch into more things than it can with the HP EVs. With the HP EVs, you do take less damage from switching into things like Rhyperior, Escavalier, Doublade and Abomasnow's Wood Hammer (although, you didn't have SR...

k, so I've been wondering, why do you have 252 HP EVs on AV set instead of 252 SpD EVs? To put it in other words, I don't get what advantage you get from the additional physical bulk. You are obviously not switching in physical threats most of the time, since AV does nothing to help your...

Yeah, it's true that you are not left with much extra EV's even if not going for max. Speed, but since the recommended set focuses mainly on stallbreaking, and lacking power is Infernapes #1 problem, I think all EV's that can be spared should be put to Att/SpA. Max. Speed should ofc be the main...

A few comments on the MixApe set. -Moves: When mentioning HP Ice targets, I think it needs to be emphasized that Dragonite needs Multiscale broken in order to be OHKOed, and Garchomp can stomach one HP Ice without a problem. It's okey to mention Water-types as Grass Knot's targets, but...

I used SD Shiftry a bit in earlier phases of the metagame, and the reason why I thought Seed Bomb was mandatory was that bulky Water-types are the prime mons to set-up against. Ofc no Water-type will ever switch-in against Shiftry, but at the time, the tier was filled with defensive Water-types...

Fair enough, if AV stays, it stays. However, I would like U-turn to have atleast a strong Moves mention. U-turn helps maintaining momentum against Ground-types, and since Eelektross has decent mixed stats, U-turn gives good chip damage aswell.

I know this is WIP, so I'm sorry if I go ahead of things, but as I asked in the UU analysis of Eelektross, what's the point of Assault Vest? I get it that it's easier to switch Eelektross into stuff, and thus check them somewhat, but mono-Electric has very poor resistances, which is imo a more...

Okey, I know this is still WIP, sorry for me going a step ahead, but I think you really need to emphasize why you'd use Eelektross as an AV user, and what Pokemon it can check. Ofc it can theoretically check practically anything, since no weaknesses, but in addition to not having weaknesses, it...

When mentioning Greninja, I think it should be explicitly mentioned that some variants of Greninja carry HP Grass as fourth move, for Azumarill, Rotom-W and bulky waters in general, and that will 2HKO Rotom-W, so the move needs to be scouted. Edit: Also, Keldeo can be mentioned, but because of...

I remember someone talking at some point that the OU dropouts would be going to BL with other untested Pokemon, is it true or will the Pokemon be judged individually?
