I aint much of a Gen 4 OU guy, but to me the situation is kind of like this: You know how when you are fighting those Team Rocket Golbats with your Graveler or whatever, where you have a clear advantage, but then it confuses you and you watch frustratingly as you smack yourself every turn until...

This is actually an incorrect statement. Scald basically acts as anti-freeze, allowing them to thaw out instantly and threaten something with a burn. It is also worth noting that as bulky water types, they want to switch into fire attacks like Blacephalon Flamethrower, which also allows them to...

I disagree heavily with your post. Specific things such as them being offensive checks to Specs Dragapult holds no relevance in my eyes in determining their worthiness for a retest. What matters is if they have potential to rejoin the OU list while maintaining a healthy presence in the metagame...

The damage calculation you are using is flawed, because Dauntless Shield is bugged on the calc. The true damage calculation: 252 Atk Cinderace Pyro Ball vs. +1 64 HP / 0 Def Zamazenta-Crowned: 176-210 (51.6 - 61.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO (Assuming that Zamazenta-C ends up running 64 HP EVs in an...

I nominate Toxapex to S+++++ rank The reason why is because of this godly Toxapex set Toxapex @ Black Sludge Ability: Regenerator EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD Bold Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Block - Spite - Recover - Scald With this set, you can trap and REMOVE the enemy's Lord Pex...

B -> C or lower Regieleki has seen much better days. While it does have some good qualities, such as being the fastest thing in the game and having a nice ability, outside of Electric attacks and Explosion Regieleki poses a very minimal offensive presence, which has almost completely killed...

I do agree that Alolan Marowak should drop in viability, but as a frequent user of Xatu on multiple teams I don't agree with Xatu being removed from the rankings. While Xatu may not have amazing stats, what makes it a viable Magic Bounce user is it's instant reliable recovery, unlike the other...

Galarian Moltres does not learn Roost and if it did people would have been heavily suggesting it a long time ago: As such, it cannot continue to tank Spectrier Shadow Balls or Hex in the long run, especially when it is getting chipped down by burn damage. The only way for it to heal is with...

I would also like to add that thanks to it's flying typing and Magic Bounce, that Xatu is a complete hard counter to common Hippowdon sets, only taking temporary sand damage which can be negated by Leftovers if one chooses.

Palkia and Dialga actually saw a respectable amount of usage at both #17 and #18 respectively (1630 usage stats). Palkia is even A- rank in the viability rankings, and it's a good check to Kyogre that can threaten the opposition very hard with it's strong power and great coverage.

Amoonguss Tangrowth and Magearna do not resist the STAB Combination and are not good consistent switch ins Here are calcs showing the damage if they are running absolute maximum defense 252 Atk Choice Band Urshifu Wicked Blow vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Amoonguss on a critical hit: 264-312 (61.1 -...

He means it's defensive utility as an offensive Pokemon, being immune to ground, resisting Fire, Water, Grass, Electric, Fighting, and Psychic as well as 80/110 special bulk giving it opportunities to switch in against these types of moves and proceeding to smack something.

For the first one, you're basically telling people to use screens Grimmsnarl hyper offense with Magearna to deal with Urshifu. Both of them also don't resist fighting and therefore cannot switch into Banded CC, which will one shot Grimmsnarl and 2HKO Magearna. Also, Reflect does not protect...

Zacian-C is a very polarizing Pokemon with almost no defensive counterplay whatsoever. What meager counterplay does exist, like Defensive Necrozma-DM, are inconsistent and are also usually Gothitelle bait. It's also really hard to outspeed outside of super specific Pokemon, Choice Scarf Users...

Groudon needs maximum defense in order to actually attempt to switch into Zacian-C, as maximum HP alone is not enough to stop it from 2HKOing you. Even then, it's complete lack of recovery outside of Leftovers and the super exploitable Rest + Sleep Talk combo means that best case scenario (i.e...

1. I don't see that much else to talk about 2. Occasionally I've been using Choice Band Tapu Bulu, which brings a better defensive typing than Rillaboom allowing it to resist dark and fighting and not be weak to U-turn, and Stone Edge to hit Zapdos, Moltres, Volcarona, Dragonite, Mandibuzz, and...

You could potentially pair an offensive Buzzwole with Future Sight support from either Kanto or Galar Slowking (preferably the Slowkings over Slowbro due to it's ability to switch into most special attacks aimed at Buzzwole), which in turn allows a Life Orb Adamant Buzzwole's Earthquake/Stone...

With an Adamant Nature, Buzzwole does 44.7% to 52.6% 252+ Atk Buzzwole Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Toxapex: 136-160 (44.7 - 52.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock 252+ Atk Buzzwole Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Toxapex: 136-160 (44.7 - 52.6%) -- 80.1% chance to 2HKO after Stealth...

Pheromosa: Ban

If they wanted to ban Future Sight, they would have to determine if the move itself is broken enough or if only specific Pokemon exploit it. For instance, Slowbro right now is a very common user of Future Sight, but do you see Future Sight being used on anything else, like Latios? Tapu Lele...
