Idk if this has been mentioned yet, but Wish + Heal Bell is legal on Chansey/Blissey now, btw. Also, I'd like some help with a Stall team I'm currently constructing. I want to base it around CM-Mega Sableye. Right now I'm considering using the Skarmory+Chansey/Blissey Walling core. The only...

Tbh, I really like the idea of using this thing as a defensive pivot, possibly with Assault Vest. Diancie @Assault Vest / Leftovers Clear Body Relaxed 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD -Diamond Storm -Moon Blast -Hidden Power (Fire) -Filler / Stealth Rock (if Lefties)

The same can be said about any Fire Pokemon vs Ferrothorn, or any Special Attacker vs Skarmory, or any Physical Fighting-Type vs Blissey, etc. on another note, I found something interesting. So, since people are using Defiant Bisharp as a "Defog Punisher" of sorts, I kind of applied that logic...

Just wanted to give you guys an update on the Latios / Ferrothorn / Tentacruel core I posted some pages back. If you want to read the synopsis of the core, I'd go back and find it, otherwise, I'm just going to post the updated sets. Ferrothorn @ Rocky Helmet Iron Barbs Relaxed 248 HP / 252 Def...

Just in case people forgot just what a "Shitty Gimmick" looks like, here you go: Choice Specs Garchomp. Garchomp @ Choice Specs Rough Skin Timd 252 Spa / 4 SpD / 252 Spe -Draco Meteor -Earth Power -Fire Blast -Surf Yes, it may take people by surprise, but there are better Pokes at performing...

Does Leech Seed get the "draining boost" provided by Big Root?

How does M-Pinsir deal with things like Balloon Heatran, Ferrothorn, and Skarmory (especially Skarmory)? Idk if this has been discussed, but would Scarfed Magnezone be a good partner for Pinsir? It can trap and kill all of those threats pretty easily.

Now that Steel-types no longer resist Dark and Ghost, I've been thinking about using a Specially-Defensive Hydreigon. Looking at its stats, it actually has a decent amount of bulk great, resistances (Water, Grass, Fire, Electric, Dark, and Ghost and an immunity to Ground), and reliable recovery...

Since Swagger is pretty much only used on Pokemon with Prankster anyway, the ban of Swagger + Prankster would be fairly redundant, imo. I am in favor of banning Swagger though. Any move, item, or combination that makes the game uncompetitive and/or luck-based is undesirable, imo.

What confuses me is why they don't gain any speed from Mega Evolving, considering they end up looking like turbo jets.

I also use the Gardevoir / Bisharp offensive core, except I use Knock Off over Night Slash and I use it with Sticky Web support. With Sticky Web out, these two are incredibly hard to deal with.

To be honest, I don't think that Rotom-W deserves to be S-tier. S-tier is also used for suspect testing, so think about it this way: could you guys see Rotom-W being suspect tested or even banned to Ubers? I nominate Rotom-W to stay in A+ tier. Also, I nominate M-Venusaur to be demoted to A or...

Focus Blast doesn't work against Gardevoir's biggest counter: Aegislash. If you run Shadow Ball you miss out on other important coverage options. If you drop Psyshock for more coverage, you get walled by pretty much everything from Florges to Chansey. Running Calm Mind is also optimal for...

So it seems like the most common counters to Gardevoir are Steel-types. What about running HP Fire?

How does Salamence get Wish?

Sucker Punch Gengar.

Well, I guess what they say is true, Brave Bird is the new Outrage. It's so spamable and strong. Why not build an entire team around it?

Yeah, I posted that exact set (almost) a few pages back and in the Talonflame thread.

Yeah, I tend to play more balaced / defensive, so when I build a core I aim for longevity on top of utility. Dont get me wrong, I also like to run plenty of offensive threats, but if things go south, I want a durable defensive core to fall back on.

Tbh, the core doesn't handle CharX very well, but what core does? Flare Blitz and Outrage OHKO and 2HKO like everything in the Meta right now. Heatran and Tyranitar are also prett moot since it usually runs Earthquake or Brick Break for coverage, and if it doesn't, it's running Roost so trying...
