Yeah, I think I would support Terrakion being lowered to A rank. He's still a monster, able to 2HKO everything in the tier with his CB set, but there are other things that can boast that too. I think he's a strong, strong A rank Pokemon, but I feel like he's similar to Heracross in UU: everyone...

Latias really needs to be used more in this meta. I've been using her in my Outsiders Challenge team (can you believe she's only at about 5% usage?!) and she has been easily my most useful teammate. She counters such important threats like Breloom, Sheer Force Landorus, and Keldeo! She even puts...

I want to do this but my laptop won't work so I'm going to have to wait until I get home from college to actually start laddering if that's ok. Name: Admiral Bobbery Alt: General Bobbery Ladder Standing: No

Sorry, I should have been more specific. It's not that Cloyster isn't a good Pokémon, it's that Keldeo is simply a better, more versatile Pokémon who should (in my opinion) be higher is usage than Cloyster, a so called "one-trick pony." Also, Keldeo probably is used more than Cloyster when you...

I know it's probably not as effective as Jirachi because of a lack of key resistances, but I think I know a good replacement to the Rock Polish set. Mew @ Life Orb EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spe Nature: Modest Trait: Synchronize • Fire Blast/Flamethrower • Ice Beam • Giga Drain/Thunderbolt...

He's banned, which makes most of the team I have been using useless T.T Although, perhaps it's for the best, since now people (myself included) will have to put a little bit more thought into their teams instead of just putting Genesect on every team imaginable because he fits in so well. I do...

Yep, I guess he's banned now. Anyway, this team was really good, guys. I'm not saying it was at a super high level of play or anything, but I had a lot of fun making it, this Rate My Team, and playing with it on the ladder. Also, I would just like to point out that I tested all of Remedy's...

Hurray for friends!! And Pokémon that should be good but just aren't :D

Actually, the nature I'm using on Landorus is Mild so that Genesect will get an Attack boost if it comes in on Landorus. Even so, the Nature in the OP was wrong lol. If you think Modest would be more beneficial though, I don't see why not try it. As for Mamoswine, that sounds really good...

Ok, wait, what? First of all, I specifically said that he isn't a check to Scarf Genesect, we're talking Rock Polish Genesect here. Second, that is probably the weakest analogy I've ever heard of. Every single Scizor carries a Bug move to hit Slowbro, but not every Genesect has a Bug move to hit...

No one, at the moment. Though I think someone said that something Rain related was likely to be tested next. For now though, Genesect is the only thing being tested. Actually, come to think of it, I have a question. Can we get another "Counter This Pokémon" thread going? I really liked it...

No, but Tyranitar can take RP Genesect down after it has set up. +1 252+ SpA Life Orb Genesect Giga Drain vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Tyranitar in sand: 161-190 (39.85 - 47.02%) -- guaranteed 3HKO So Genesect even at +1, Modest, and Life Orb, can only 3HKO Tyranitar, but Tyranitar can hit back. 0-...

Um...yeah...absolutely. To tell the truth, I just didn't know Iron Fist had come out yet haha. With Iron Fist, would it be better for me to run Fire Punch? It's not as strong, but 90 Base Power is not too shabby, and there's no recoil from it either. But yes, I'll change his ability to Iron...

Well theres no need to attack me for my formatting :'( but point taken. It sucks having to debate Genesect's strength on paper because with all of his viable sets, he pretty much can't be beat. I'm really only speaking from my experience with my own Genesect, which obviously only has one...

Holy Mother of God, this is perfect. Pocket has basically said what all the "pro-OU" people have been trying to say for weeks now, but just haven't found the right way to say it. Genesect is NOT BROKEN. A lot of the people against keeping him OU say that his various sets can take out all of his...

@Remedy Wow, well, other than my self confidence in teambuilding being shot down in a fiery ball of disappointment, you make extremely solid (and very well presented) points. The part about having two scarfers killing my momentum is actually really true, and I feel afraid to use anything BUT...

I'm hesitant to replace either Infernape or Landorus because I don't want to be too much on the special side, but I agree with both of your sentiments. I LOVE Rock Polish Landorus so I might try that. I will also try a few battles with a spin blocking Chandelure becaue you're right, I do need a...

Thanks, I'll test out those changes for Deoxys and get back to you! As for the changes in the EV spread, it sounds great, but is there anything specific that the 24 HP EVs help you survive, or is it just added bulk for added bulk's sake and making sure I'm not wasting Speed EVs that I don't need?
