I think both this guy and Rotom-C have very similar arguments as to their validity for OU now due to new status resistances. Go Rotom!

I got really upset with how bad he is. Malamar is one of my favorite new pokes flavor wise :(

In which case the guy who posted after you was right, all they would have to do is Shadow Sneak. Malamar is a situational check to Aegislash, and not much else. Malamar can be as played around in that scenario as Aegislash can.

It still dies in one hit to a Swords Danced Sacred Sword...

Can malamar get knock off from crawdaunt?

Yeah, the reason that I can tolerate it at least is that it IS counterable. I just hate that you have to play around that set so much. If you use Swagkey, you are setting the tempo of the match just from team preview. Your opponent is not going to let their Gliscor go down until that key goes...

I'm getting to the point where I just flat out hate the "swagkey" set. It's just dumb and so luck based that I'm surprised people tolerate it. I mean, evasion moves got banned for being dumb, "uncompetetive," luck based, and annoying right? Which is exactly what that set is. Granted I don't...

Prankster Will-O-Wisp and T-Wave. Everything must be priority!

Ouch. I was definitely off there. That's certainly not worth it. however running him with a Lum Berry should do until we get Whimsicott. Thank you!

Can someone help me calculate the speed EVs required for Prankster Sableye to beat out Prankster Klefki? Sableye has base 50, Klefki has 75. Now I've never calculated the speeds like this before, but I would assume you need at least 26 total speed stat to beat Klefki? So... 104 speed EVs? Am I...

I like it, but I'm still kind of thinking an all or nothing approach could be a good way to go for Lucario. What will an unboosted HJK OHKO that an Aura Sphere or Vacuum Wave won't after a +2?

Why not do Swords Dance and CC/Bullet Punch?

I'm curious about those Scald vs Hydro Pump calculations myself... Anyone know how to calculate want to take a stab at it?

Sounds fun. But as far as SERIOUS BUSINESS COMPETITIVE teams go, everyone will tell you it's a lot of work compared to just using a different poke that is bulkier and hits harder off the bat. But I like it.

Yeah... Twave Swagger Key is incredibly irritating to fight. Regardless of luck factor involved. The hate is probably because it's effectively annoying.

Nah it's all good, I've been in a pretty irritated mood tonight myself, so I'm sure I came across more rash than I should have. A lot of the times I do tend to want to screw with my opponent so much that I miss the fact I could OHKO like in the case of Galvantula. But a lot of the time they run...

I've been liking just taunting something like Smeargle, Ferrothorn, Galvantula, etc. and getting up a free layer of t. spikes, or switching to something to setup. It's not really a matter of prevention as much as giving myself breathing room. Plus Protean can net some KO's if you run a Timid...

Guys, I said I'm not playing Greninja as a Ferrothorn. I'm also not playing him as a dedicated sweeper, I'm trying an anti-lead set. In which case using Protean defensively has it's benefits. That's that.

So... you're sitting here telling me not to do something that I have experienced working myself? Have you even tried to use Protean to dodge a SE hit? Has anyone arguing that Protean can't be used defensively even tried? Or are you guys just staring at numbers. I'm not sitting here arguing that...

Power Up Punch is okay, but it can be stopped by Ghosts, and it doesn't give as much of a boost. Swords Dance is more reliable.
