    XY UU Viability Ranking Thread V2

    I never actually post, and I'd hate to be the one to reply to a post like this. But first of all, it was said earlier that we should wait until the tier settles for nominations. And second, I don't find either Smeargle or Espeon broken. Smeargle can have a hard time setting up, while Espeon is...

    np: XY OU Suspect Testing Round 5 - Ghost of Perdition

    Isn't that why we run Shadow Sneak, so it doesn't have to rely on OHKOing stuff. It doesn't need a boosting move to do a lot of damage. True, but who uses a recovery move for a Weakness Policy set? or if your opponent makes the wrong move, they lose a lot of momentum, or lose their...

    np: XY OU Suspect Testing Round 5 - Ghost of Perdition

    It really is too early to say there will be broken things that weren't already broken if Aegislash gets banned. Wasn't there a saying that you check/counter broken mon A with broken mon B, it doesn't make Broken mon A any less broken. (I might have gotten that wrong, but you should get the jist...

    np: XY OU Suspect Testing Round 5 - Ghost of Perdition

    I've been playing the new latter, and I've been enjoying it plenty (might as well try to get reqs while having this much fun). People have been complaining that there will be Pokemon that are overpowered due to Aegislash being gone. While true at first with one of the back bones of the meta...

    np: XY OU Suspect Testing Round 5 - Ghost of Perdition

    It's about time this is happening to my ghastly friend. It really isn't about it being broken or not. It's more so that it so over centralizing that it's basically makes the meta as it is now. I really don't have fun facing it either, because you're not really sure what set it is, until it makes...

    Resource XY NU Viability Ranking

    I'm pretty sure that if you don't want to run Support Mismagius, you should be running Nasty Plot on it, which lets it OHKO both Mesprit, and Shiftry.

    Other The effectiveness of Baton Pass teams after the nerf

    Is it possible for people to post multiple replays from someone not named dEnIsSsS. It's hard to see how BP is still hard to beat when it's only him, who's a really good player to begin with.

    Metagame NP: NU (beta): Welcome to the NU Age (Combusken Banned)

    I may be wrong, but isn't Magic Coat in the same boat as Knock Off when it comes to having Sticky Web. As Magic Coat is also a 5th gen Move Tutor?

    Metagame NP: RU Stage -1: Message to Oglemi, Nails, and Honko (VENOMOTH STOLEN FROM US))

    It seems Assault Vest is really bad on the majority of the Pokemon in the tier, so why not just force them to wear one. Tired of Shuckle always setting up hazards, give it an Assault Vest. Those support Pokemon that their team needs to function well, give them that Assault Vest. How about that...

    Oh, I totally forgot about Outrage, and after a bit more testing, even with Outrage I found it not being too useful compared to the rest of my team.

    I think this Druddigon set does really well Druddigon @ Life Orb Ability: Sheer Force EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef Adamant Nature - Crunch - Gunk Shot - Fire Punch - Hone Claws It doesn't have any Dragon moves, but Dragon Claw doesn't get the Sheer Force boost, and doesn't give any...

    Pokémon Scolipede

    Actually it can, as Quick Feet becomes Speed Boost when you transfer it to X/Y, and you can use those moves with Quick Feet.

    Baton Pass - its role in the metagame and possible solutions to nerf full Baton Pass chains

    This, I can answer with experience of using a Scolipede / Espeon core. It's really hard to pull off chain passes with those 2 Pokemon alone. Really, it comes to your other team member having to take out any threats that can easily stop your chain, and unlike a full baton pass team, or even a...

    Baton Pass - its role in the metagame and possible solutions to nerf full Baton Pass chains

    I may be thinking this wrong, but wouldn't it be more a lot more complicated to ban anything related to Magic Bounce, mostly because of Mega Absol. I mean it is far more inferior than Espeon, but it still another Pokemon with Magic Bounce, that has access to Baton Pass. Anyways, as I've been...

    Metagame NP: RU Stage -1: Message to Oglemi, Nails, and Honko (VENOMOTH STOLEN FROM US))

    I think Mega Banette would be a better replacement, since it also has Prankster Will-O-Wisp, Taunt, as well as Knock Off. It only lacks recovery, and Prankster doesn't activate until after the turn it Mega Evolves. I makes it up with a really high attack stat, and Prankster Destiny Bond.

    Baton Pass - its role in the metagame and possible solutions to nerf full Baton Pass chains

    I really like this idea, it's shouldn't be hard to do, and it takes away one of the key parts of a Baton Pass team. This also has littledoesn't have much collateral damage as it just prevents you from using Espeon, and Scolipede on the same team.

    Other XY OU Viability Ranking Thread (V2) (Last update on post #5189)

    Though it's an inferior. Shuckle can forgo Stealth Rocks, for a set like Sticky Web / Toxic / Infestation / Encore, to take out some threats as they are trapped, and sometimes being unable to do anything to Shuckle (depends on what they are Encored to).
