Now that makes considerably more sense. Thanks.

I've yet to play the tier, but if I'm not reading this incorrectly, Chansey is now viable in RU, which really surprises me considering how well it can do even in Ubers... Knock Off is obviously a huge problem, but still, this looks like fun to use. Hm, looking over the list, Latias is in there...

It doesn't look like Heliolisk can learn Solar Beam by TM, but considering its concept I find that... Really weird. I'll only be able to test it by breeding later today though, so if anyone has a compatible Pokemon and a few minutes to spare, testing this would be much appreciated.

I have mixed feelings on Doubles... I keep getting the feeling that it's the middle ground between the one-on-one strategy and constant switching of Singles and the location-centered strategy of Triples, but not really specialised into either. It's a weird feeling. Anyway, worth mentioning...

Yes, very. Although it's worth thinking about that unless you're running Ice Body Avalugg and Magic Guard Reuniclus in your Trick Room team (although the latter is pretty much a staple), that residual damage from Snow Warning isn't going to be nice. Still, great Trick Room potential right...

Trevenant, as far as I know, also gets Will-o-Wisp, and has access to Harvest. Gourgeists's physical bulk still gives it a noteworthy niche over Trevenant, but Trevenant is still very much worth considering, especially with that nice Attack and a somewhat better Special Defense. I guess it would...

How luck-based are you talking about? Critical hit rates, accuracy, the sleep/freeze timer, secondary effects etc. etc. are all luck-based. Would you be against running a Slash variant on all my Pokemon and hoping for a critical hit every single time? Accelgor/Ninjask/Greninja'd by Alopex...

Looking at the Egg Groups research thread, Bulbapedia and the guy outside the Day Care, Trevenant is incompatible with Chesnaught and all pre-Gen VI Pokemon capable of knowing Hammer Arm and no new Pokemon other than Gourgeist have been introduced in the same Egg Groups, so it's looking very...

That makes sense, I'd forgotten about the Chespin line (dumped it in-game for Torchic, never took it out again.) Still depends on Trevenant getting it in its Egg Moves list, but it seems plausible that it might. I'll check the research threads, if not confirmed yet I'll see if I can breed...

I was wondering how Leech Seed with Phantom Force would work out; I'm surprised no-one else seems to be mentioning it as a plausible strategy. Is it fast enough to effectively pull off a Seed set? Sitrus+Harvest recovery probably helps even out its Speed issues, but 50% doesn't sound awfully...

Actually, Serebii is telling me that it learns Shell Smash by level-up, which would increase its viability considerably. Not sure if this is confirmed by the Smogon researchers though. The same page also lists its stats as a fair bit lower, with eighty-something defenses and 120 Special Attack...

I'm not sure if this is relevant for Megatwo X. I'm pretty sure its Attack is more powerful than Life Orb Mewtwo, but it's a difficult comparison to make considering the difference in typing and function. Also, Megatwo X is bulkier on both sides.

It's a huge upgrade from its previous form, but its previous form, statistics-wise at least, was more like a mid-stage evolution that couldn't use Eviolite, and like other Megas, it doesn't have access to Leftovers (although Pain Split could be nice?). It has nice moves in Taunt, Super Fang...

It's certainly an interesting Mega, and probably the only one with some degree of cuteness. :P Still, while it might have a niche because of its typing, viable Defense and Special Defense as well as Intimidate, 50 HP certainly isn't great and it'll probably be vulnerable to Fire Blast and...

To copy from the XY data collection thread, the stats are probably base 80/185/115/40/105/75. I'm not sure if that Attack boost outdamages Guts, and I doubt it's better than Moxie after a boost or two (admittedly, getting that probably isn't as easy as it sounds). It's certainly fairly tanky...

Hm... I don't think anyone's mentioned Mega Aggron yet, which is quite probably my favourite Mega Evolution in terms of looks alone. I'm still looking for information on its stats (And hoping for a Special Defense buff), but from what we know now, Aggron's already received a pretty excellent...
