    Six-Man Band

    Pretty cool team you have here :) Let's start off by saying that this team looks super fun, but it looks like it gets rolled over by some standard stuff. Just to name a few: ZardX, Life Orb Latios, Talonflame, Mixed ZardY, Keldeo etc. So as a suggestion, I think you should replace Darmanitan...

    XY OU Mirror Mola - semi-stall (peaked #6)

    Wow, this team looks awesome. Props to you for pretty much everything on the team! Good to see Manectric, SubAegi and Mola being used. I really have nothing to suggest other than Brave Bird>>Drill Peck of Skarm. The recoil damage isn't worth it, IMO, when you can potentially die to recoil. Plus...

    XY OU Threat List [Compiling Entries]

    Garchomp Type: Dragon / Ground Base Stats: 108 HP / 130 Atk / 95 Def / 80 SpA/ 85 SpD / 102 Spe Ability: Rough Skin Garchomp was one of the most feared offensive Pokemon from previous generations, but it returns with no new toys under its belt. However, it still has everything it needs to be a...

    Raining in the tiers an OU team with Concerns

    First off, very nice and solid rain team. I haven't rated/done anything in a LONG time so excuse me if I'm a bit rusty. Well, anyways, I'd suggest you run Toxic>Hypnosis. Sure, you lose the sleep inducement, BUT, you're also relying on a really inaccurate move. Since your team seems to depend...

    Pokémon Smeargle

    Smeargle actually has a lot of new/old toys that it could use that isn't mentioned. For example: King's Shield - works well as a scouting move and opens a safe switch in against some physical attackers Spider Web - with the new buff, it could open free set up opportunities for Baton Pass teams...

    Pokémon Magnezone

    Haven't been a thread on this guy yet so I guess I'll start it! Although Magnezone hasn't exactly gained any new tricks up its sleeve (or magnet) with the release of X&Y, I feel Zone will have a really great time this generation with the introduction of Fairies and the Defog buff. Magnezones...

    Other 6th Gen Pokemon OU Candidate Speculation Thread

    Yay! More people have been noticing how strong SD Acrobatics/Brave Bird is (I prefer the former)! Anyways, with the popularity of Talonflame, I think things like Heatran and Rotom-W are going to get even more popular since they resist both of Talons STABs and have the needed bulk to take a hit...

    Other Defensive Fire-typing

    I can sorta see Rotom-H becoming viable. Levitate to evade EQ, Spikes and Sticky Web. It also walls Togekiss pretty hard too

    Item Kee/Maranga Berry

    Terrible to be honest. Not worth the loss of lefties. You'll more than likely be switching as the opponent sends in a counter you can't handle regardless so you lose the boost (I'm assuming), essentially wasting you item slot.

    Yah, I've noticed. Whenever I put Hidden Power on a set though, the typing changes in battle. For example, HP Ice>>HP dragon. Not a big deal really since it will get fixed eventually, just curious to know the new mechanics.

    Other 6th Gen Pokemon OU Candidate Speculation Thread

    There is absolutely no doubt that Aegislash is going to be a top OU candidate. Yes it has a weak STAB attack, but +2 Shadow Sneak coming off a base 150 Attack is not something you want to mess with. Ghost is also a really strong offensive typing this gen, having a resist and only 1 uncommon...

    Also DD T-Tar is an amazing counter against Aegislash. Not sure what the exact calcs are, but I've been able to OHKO near full HP Aegislash's with a STAB+1 Crunch.

    Other 6th Gen Pokemon OU Candidate Speculation Thread

    There are a lot of drops from Ubers this gen due to the weather nerf such as the previously mentioned Lando-I and Tornadus-T. For old new OU Pokemon, Togekiss and Azumarill are moving up for sure. I also feel Houndoom might see some more use because of its ability to completely wreck every...

    Pokémon The Best Fairy Pokemon?

    Azumarill, easily one of my favourite fairy types this gen. Its power is just disgusting with a wide variety of moves to compliment. Aqua Jet, Waterfall, Play Rough, Ice Punch, Focus Punch, Return, Double-Edge etc etc. Its bulk is actually pretty decent with a good base 100 HP stats, and its...

    Move Powder

    Rename the move and it will easily be one of the coolest moves on paper! This could be a very neat move in double, depending on the mechanics and how widely distributed it ends up being. It's definitely interesting and I'm really excited for further research.

    Data Updated Base Stats

    What was the point in increasing Pikachu's defences? It's still not living anything.

    Item Weakness Policy

    Dragonite with Agility/DD Roost? It's super gimmicky but it would be pretty cool. You can easily keep taking super effective hits with the scale and slowly boost up along the way. It can be a neat strategy. Also, does it work with sub up? I don't think giving away that you have Weakness...

    Awesome job on keeping Showdown up to date Zarel! Just a quick question though, how does Hidden Power work? I can't seem to figure out which IVs to give to get HP __. Thanks again!
