On the PS chat today someone mentioned Baton Pass, then someone else said bacon pass. Here is the resultant discussion, duplicated for your enjoyment. Azul:Porygon Z just got baton passed a Shell Smash Jenglishmd:well geez Azul:What do? PZ:wat do i do now Sanguine:Vin, calm down Queen...

Yes, Porygon2 for C-rank. It is a good wall and utility counter, and has a great movepool. Porygon2 is also one of the Pokemon that makes Trick Room viable, as well as being a necessity on Gravity teams. Trace is also not the only viable Ability, as now that Genesect has left Download Porygon2...

Whoah, whoah, whoah, people. i'm pretty sure we can only post one set each. If not, I reserve a defensive version of my set. Onicon and youngjake93, thanks for reminding me to include Ground-resistant teammates. I can't believe I never thought to mention them. pkblizzard, Telekinesis is not...

@Onicon: Jirachi isn't supposed to demolish the metagame single-handedly. That's what those other five Pokemon are there to help with. Don't worry about provoking me, it's practically impossible. Mainly because if someone is provoking me, it has to be intentional or unintentional. If it's...

@BlackLight: The set isn't actually as dependent on Gravity as it looks. you typically want Gravity at first, to spread paralysis and confusion, but after Gravity runs out you can often go straight into flinching things to death with Iron Head. Or you can start by flinching things to death, and...

Jirachi @ Life Orb / Leftovers Trait: Serene Grace EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SAtk Hasty Nature - Gravity - Iron Head - Thunder - DynamicPunch Just when you thought Jirachi couldn't get anymore annoying and hax-inducing... Gravirachi shows up. The basic premise of this set is to set up Gravity...

Grass/Dark Death to the Latis! Power to the Caterpies!

Electric/Dark

I'm amused to see that Neliel and I are the only ones getting votes. It's even funnier because our sets share a key trait: they both aim to be useful in multiple situations. The difference in our ways of achiveing this is that Neliel's set is more focused (works in fewer situations, but is very...

Electric/Dark Grass/Dark

Not to mention Kadabra and Scyther, with 105 Base Speed and 120/110 base SpA/Atk, reaching 558 SpA/525 Atk respectively. And Scyther gets Swords Dance and Quick Attack. Oh, and don't forget Rhydon has base 130 Atk, reaching 591 Atk with 252+.

Hi! It's nice to see someone else using Thunder Wave+Nasty Plot Celebi. Normally, I would reccomend 252 HP/252 SpA/ 4 SpD or Spe Modest with Earth Power over Recover for it, but with as many Ground attacks as you have on your team you might be better off with Psychic. So: Celebi @ Leftovers...

DarkSlay, I disagree with Grass/Rock being a good typing for this CAP. The problem is that we are trying to improve Sun, and the Rock typing means that it gets a SpD boost from Sand. This would be less important if we made a very offensive Pokemon, but creating a defensive or even balanced...

Neliel Pretty much what everyone else has said. Physical Celebi is unexpected, and Baton Passing the boosts is great.

I have an answer to this (I'll have to poll-jump a bit and assume Pursuit though). An Electric/Dark type doesn't give it any characteristics that make it less viable on Rain (or Sand), but it is outclassed on them. Rain can use Scizor or weavile as a Pursuit trapper, and Sand has Tyranitar and...

I came here intending to speak based on the Sun teams I've been playing around with, trying to learn from. It looks like reachzero beat me to my main point though, that the Lati@s are the biggest problems to Sun teams overall. Heatran is something that there are already answers for, as well as...

Cobraroll: I'd really appreciate it if somebody archived the highlights of our speculation, to entertain us in a year or so. Here you go! http://www.smogon.com/forums/group.php?groupid=2247

Psychic with Magnezone sounds like a good idea. I'll try it. Earth Power tends to be better in general though, as Celebi attracts Fire- and Steel- types like the plague, and many of the major Flying-, Dragon-, and Grass- types resist Psychic and/or are neutral to Grass or Ground (Ferrothorn...

How does "kaboom" equal "Stealth Rocks"? Last I checked, Explosion faints the user. Azelf does not get guaranteed rocks up, if Starmie spams Rapid Spin. EDIT @ Shurtugal: Ah, okay. I didn't realize you meant switching in after rocks were up. Still, Prankster Taunt is out there, and Donphan...

Well, I noticed that we're supposed to discuss sets so here goes (in no particular order). OldJack, Alexander and ala, all of you posted sets in the on-site analysis. I assume this was unintentional, but it doesn't really fit with the goal of this project. youngjake93, your set is good...
