Thing is, why would you even need to run speed if King's Shield is a priority move? You could stay in defensive stance, boost up and then just simply tank a hit in defensive stance and hit them with whatever. Rinse and repeat with King's Shield for defensive stance again.

Personally, I liked the addition of Dream World abilities because it made Mons like Ninetales and Xatu usable in the OU metagame. I also want more of this in Gen VI although I sincerely hope that rain gets a nerf. When I played through D/P/P, I liked the idea of Fog and I wished that some...

I have a feeling rollerblades might just be a substitute for running shoes. Also, I'm pretty sure Showdown's battles could suffice when we're talking about 3D battles.

I'm sorry, what?

I swear Chespinn seems like a chestnut + something random. The pointy things on its head seem to suggest that. If that's the case, let's hope that it's a grass/steel final evo :DD

The new legendary (for X) looks pretty damn awesome. FROAKIE MANG.

I'm not really sure whether using Scarf Ditto means that something isn't broken because you're effectively using the same Pokemon except slightly weaker. Also I wouldn't say that SpD Zapdos is that great of a check because it is VERY possible for it to be 2HKO'd by Hidden Power Ice after...

Was about to say the same thing as Wizarus. If the Torn-T player had Focus Blast, he should've used it at the end. It would've given him a chance to win as opposed to losing outright. Using this battle doesn't exactly tell us anything about whether Tornadus-T is broken because of the bad plays...

Could someone please give me a definition of over-centralized metagame ._. Tornadus-T on its own will usually have a limit as to how much damage it will inflict upon the opposing team (With Hurricanes or U-turns). From my experience, it's usually the pressure of being forced to make the...

I personally think that it's okay for Tornadus-T to spam U-turns in order to seize the momentum for most of the game and only coming out to clean up during late mid /late game. We're not arguing for Tornadus-T's ability to spam Hurricane alone, but that its fast U-turns completely steal the...

What's with these posts saying that you need to switch Tornadus-T into an attack o_o Genesect couldn't switch in to anything barring either a U-turn, a Bullet Punch, or an Ice Beam of some kind. If you're switching in your Tornadus-T into a Jirachi or something with BoltBeam coverage, then I...

Lol I'm not trying to seem like an ass, but how does that mean anything O.o Genesect was in OU, so arguably for its suspect test, you could've reiterated 'It's already OU therefore it's balanced npnp." Could you people define over-centralizing the metagame? I'd just like to clarify that it...

I'm actually not sure whether we're referring to Tornadus-T on its own or a Tornadus-T in the rain. Regardless, a good player wouldn't lose the weather war that early and will usually be able to maintain weather or momentum. Tornadus-T's counters can be dealt with fairly easily seeing as all...

Copy and pasting what Django said on the last page. Tl;DR: Tornadus-T has a lot of freedom switching out of its revenge killers. The main issue with Hydreigon is that it's slow so it has hell of a lot more revenge killers. MMM also has issues with Stealth Rock so its effectively on a timer...

Ehh... do you really need to be able to switch into things with Tornadus-T..? Tornadus-T shouldn't be switching into the blobs/staying in against the blobs unless the player is 100% sure that they're going to die to a Superpower / Hurricane. And just saying, Specs Tornadus-T can run Sleep Talk...

I don't think Double Dance Lucario is that great because you're really asking to be walled. To put it simply, Agility Lucario is great for cleaning up HO while SD is useful for wall breaking / sweeping. Putting both set up moves together doesn't increase his effectiveness and is quite the...

I have to say I agree with ThePillsburyDoughBoy's points. Tornadus-T has one of the fastest U-turns in OU which provides the person's team with momentum and, of course, we can't ignore its strong STAB Hurricane. I personally think that we need to take rain into account when we're talking about...

You need to remember that Haxorus gains access to both SD and DD, two valuable set-up moves that Kyurem-B would desperately like to have. 252 +1 Atk Life Orb Haxorus Outrage vs 252 HP/252 Def Skarmory (+Def) : 35.63% - 41.92% 3-4 hits to KO (with Leftovers) 2-3 hits to KO (with Leftovers) 252...

Jirachi @ Choice Scarf | Serene Grace Jolly | 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Iron Head Ice Punch / Fire Punch / Thunder Punch U-turn / Fire Punch / Thunder Punch Healing Wish It's pretty much the normal Scarf-Rachi except for the obvious fact that Healing Wish is there. I've battled against one of...
