  1. Pokémon X & Y In-game Tier List Discussion

    As far as the Nidos are concerned, I doubt Sheer Force makes a huge difference -- Dig and EQ will be your main moves for pretty much the whole game and are unaffected. Have been using a Nidoking in recent playthrough, and seems like a solid B. As far as the others from that last set that I've...
  2. XY - Your thoughts

    Overall, I have mixed feelings about the game in general. For me, the biggest downfall to XY was the plot and the actual gameplay. Graphics, new mechanics supporting competitive play and the new pokemon were all pretty spot on, but Gen5 set the bar high when it came to plotline and characters...
  3. Pokémon X & Y In-game Tier List Discussion

    I think you're putting too much importance on the usefulness of Regenerator: firstly, catching a Slowpoke from a horde means ~10 levels of extra grinding that doesn't progress the story (since we're assuming no Exp Share) to catch up and secondly, Own Tempo allows you avoid all those Supersonics...
  4. Trick-or-Treat

  5. Noivern

    Noivern is pretty much crippled by Thunderwave, and is pretty useless under Trick Room because of it's lack of priority so it needs to switch in carefully. Talonflame outclasses Noivern as a fast attacker because priority Brave Bird is so good, as well as being able to run Tailwind, Taunt and...
  6. Doubles XY Metagame Speculation (obviously spoilers)

    Klefki is much better at setting up screens that Meowstic in my experience, purely because of its typing giving it slightly more longevity in most battles (I've used Meowstic a few times in place of Klefki just see whether it fares any better since my current team in general has a few issues...
  7. Talonflame

    I definitely agree that Talonflame is best saved for the mid- and late-game. I've been using Sitrus Berry over LO just to mitigate the recoil damage it takes from Brave Bird and Flare Blitz and give it a tiny bit more longevity. It's not the most powerful mon offensively but it has just enough...
