Future Sight isn’t a problem on the vast majority of the Pokemon that get it. Why should Slowbro take it away from everyone? It’s the combo of Teleport+Future Sight+Regenerator (which Slowbro is the best at). If it is such a problem then Slowbro or the breakers are the ones that should be examined.

I have done calcs on the top 50 most used pokemon from October. Using this thread as a source: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/official-smogon-university-gen-vi-simulator-statistics-—-october-2013.3491683/ I have made this because of complaints about the accuracy of that other post that...

As has been stated several times in this thread every single person is aware that Gengar will be Ko'd by several Pokemon. Unfortunately due to Shadow Tag the opponent has no way of getting these "checks" into battle until after Gengar has done its job. The player, under most circumstances...

It didn't have Soul Dew last gen either and it still hit like a truck. Regular Choice Specs Latios: 252+ SpA Choice Specs Latios Draco Meteor vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Blissey: 270-318 (41.4 - 48.8%) Latios with Adaptability and no Specs: 252+ SpA Adaptability Latios Draco Meteor vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD...

The single match is not completely unimportant. Things are banned because they are deemed too luck reliant or centralizing, with luck obviously being the culprit in this case. These are quotes showing why luck based things are banned in the first place. They take control out of the match, as...

If I am not mistaken it is the fact that the 1 out of 10 exists here. It's the fact that 10% of the time, based on random chance, a Garchomp can sweep an entire team. The "lucky win" is what is trying to be avoided here. Simply saying "who cares?" does not invalidate the existence of the rule.

You want to preserve Aegi throughout the game and use it to pivot your opponent into switching throughout the game, chipping at your opponent with Stealth Rock. When the time is right (hard counters are gone+bulky pokemon are weakened) you go for Automatize and attempt the clean up. I have...

252+ SpA Life Orb (custom) Shadow Ball vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Sableye: 196-231 (64.47 - 75.98%) -- guaranteed 2HKO Under perfect conditions Sableye can't switch in on it, and as with most of Aegislash's other checks, Sableye must come in after something has been knocked out. As long as the...

It may seem that way at first but you switch in Aegislash in and your opponent will more than likely fear a Physical Set and switch something in to take the expected physical hit only to have Aegislash set up an Automatize and outspeed what they send in, or to get hit with Shadow Ball. Everyone...

Oh man ill go fix that. Sorry. But I did 252 Sp Atk evs with Modest nature in the calcs. It is a 2HKO unless you have 2-3 layers of Spikes and Stealth Rock on the field. As I said in my post you have to switch in Quagsire in after a KO when facing the special variant and tank a Shadow Ball and...

I made a post about that on page 13 with the calcs and everything. Quagsire can even take a 252 Shadow Ball and hit Aegislash's Sword Forme for the OHKO.

Unless your team is having some troubles with Faries I'd suggest Sacred Sword over Iron Head because it hits Normals (immune to Ghost), and Darks (resist Ghost) and especially Tyranitar. I really don't think that any Steel type attacks are all that useful and they don't really give any extra...

I agree on an Automatize set extra coverage is better than Shadow Sneak. Since you aren't boosting your Attack it won't hit hard whatsoever and you'll hopefully be outspeeding most things. Extra coverage is needed to get off a sweep Hp Ice to kill Gliscor, Chomp, etc., Sacred Sword to kill...

Personally my favorite Aegislash counter, other than Shadow Ball from my Aegislash, is Quagsire. Quagsire works really well against the most popular Aegislash set, the Swords Dance King's Shield set. 252+ Atk (custom) Shadow Claw vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def (custom): 58-70 (28.71 - 34.65%) --...

Do you have the source for this? I've heard it else where and I don't want to get my hopes up. This makes Quick attack more amazing than it already was. In addition it hits much harder than Starptor's Reckless Brave Bird.

Funny with the comment in combination with your avatar.

With so many of Aegislash's weaknesses being bulky water and bulky defensive Pokes do you think that Toxic might be viable for hitting them on the switch in? It would then wear them down so they would lose effectiveness over the battle. Obviously it does nothing against Gliscor but it does hit...
