Although I feel like Dragonite is overall mediocre in the current metagame, mixed Dragonite wouldn't be completely outclassed by Latios if you opt for ExtremeSpeed over Iron Tail or Thunderbolt. Then it does have some merit wiping out Landorus-T with a surprise Draco and proceeding to clean up...

I guess Defog Latios is superior if you're using something like Zard-Y offense and have to have to have hazards gone, or don't have anything to absorb Scald burns but Draco+Psyshock is stuffed by a whole bunch of com-mons like Ferrothorn, Heatran, Clefable, T-Tar (still qualifies as a com-mon? I...

No, because Smeargle has absolutely no way of taking advantage of KS in a viable way except getting free turns to lay a hazard or pass boosts, which Spore/Dark Void does better anyway. Think of it this way; if you give Smeargle Parental Bond it's not going to be of much use either, but it...

Not sure that I agree with the notion that there were less threats to deal with in the post-Aegislash XY meta compared to before. Aegislash checked so many different pokemon that the pokemon that had a poor matchup against him were more rarely seen. Once Aegislash got kicked out the door, that...

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-222492519 could someone look at this game and tell me how Chesnaught outsped Mega-Swampert turn 5? Maybe I'm just slow, but I've tried wrapping my head around it but can't figure it out.

I'm looking at the list and I'm curious about Mega-Medicham being in C+. Is it really that bad or outclassed by Mega-Gallade? Granted I have no experience with it in ORAS, I just remember it hitting so hard that it's hard for me to believe it went from A rank(I think it was?) to the same level...

Prankster will be absolutely nuts in this metagame, also Shadow Tag Gothorita @ Choice Scarf Ability: Shadow Tag EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Trick - Quiver Dance - Baton Pass - Filler Trick on Stealth Rock or whatever, Dance a couple times, pass, game over

Ok so I've never seen, used or even heard of AV Heracross before this topic and I'm not sure if it'd be any good but I think Heracross should stay in D Rank for it's Choice Scarf set. There is a decent enough list of pokemon in the higher ranks that it can safely revenge kill with minimal prior...

...Ludicolo is practically the only Swift Swimmer that can handle both Gastrodon and Ferrothorn at once, two of the biggest threats to Rain period. How is that an "extremely bad shitmon" again?

I completely disagree with this, you're looking at the wrong Entei set. Use Sacred Fire/Bulldoze/Stone Edge/Flare Blitz or ExtremeSpeed and you get fantastic coverage that can hit just about everything in the tier. Entei is so hard to find safe switches into, Sacred Fire's 50% burnrate is crazy...

Aura Sphere on Raikou really isn't worth it. Specially Defensive Ferrothorn isn't even 2HKOed, Tyranitar a 4x weak isn't OHKOed either and you lose out on Raikou's great speed which is the #1 reason it's good and you're outsped by the Lati twins, Keldeo, Terrakion, Mega-Pinsir, Gengar and...

I'll make a longer post than my previous one in regards to dropping Skarmory. Skarmory seems on paper like it'd be a good pokemon still in this metagame, with solid defenses and the abilities to counter (or at least check) Azumarill Mega-Pinsir, Landorus-T, Excadrill, Mega-Scizor, Mega-Gyarados...

I agree with this, but only if Skarmory moves down with it for similar reasons. Skarmory loses to 4/5 of S-Rank consistently, almost all of A+ Rank barring Excadrill and Landorus-T but what's the point? It can't do anything back to Excadrill or Landorus-T except kill your team's momentum while...

Stall (full stall at least) was hurt pretty badly by the Aegislash ban, in addition to dealing with the pokemon that gave Stall a headache in the first place like Landorus-I and Mega-Mawile, there are more Mega-Heracross, more Mega-Garedvoir as well as more Mega-Medicham all that are huge...

I think you're making out Latios to be easier to Pursuit trap than it actually is. If Bisharp gets in on Latios, you're forced into a coin flip position over Sucker Punch or Pursuit, if it has HP Fighting or Earthquake and you Pursuit you lose Bisharp, but if you Sucker Punch and it switches you...

What..Scolipede is no where near as good as you're making it out to be. It can still be Taunted if it lacks Mental Herb, stopped from passing all-together with Banded Talonflame or phazed out. It's best set is actually the LO Attacker set which can clean up late game fairly well and also revenge...

Alomomola for C+ rank, at least Anyone else think it's time for this move? Mola is a boss wish passer, passes huge wishes, Regenerator so it doesn't have to worry about healing itself, can spread Toxic fairly well and checking Charizard-X is always nice because of what a monster it is. It has...

I've been using Knock Off in place of Scald, Mola's scald never does any damage against anything and Mola doesn't have the opportunity to stay in long enough to spam it for burns like say, Quagsire where Scald is a viable option to spam for burns on things like Mega Scizor. Knock Off has some...

TFL nice team
