What's the spread for defensive M-Charizard X? I'm actually pretty curious.

Is it really smart to stay in on a Rotom-W at all even with Spe investment? Even a Scarfed Rotom-W will OHKO with Hydro Pump, so it's probably not worth the risk to stay in on one hoping to outspeed, unless you can be sure it's not Scarfed of course. Just a thought. Also, what spread do you...

Thanks for the guide link, I really appreciate it. On Gliscor running older sets, what sort of things would he need to outspeed to make the speed investment worth it, but allow him to run decent defense investment? 144 in speed lets you outspeed Adamant Gyarados with max speed, but I don't know...

Hey guys, is there any guides you would suggest for getting acquainted with Stall as a playstyle, but also basic teambuilding structure, ideas, etc.? I'm gonna look at Smogon's base site to see what I can find, but I'd like to know if there's other sites that have some good insight or whatever...

Really? I used the 40Def Sub/Protect version in my last battle and it only took ~65% from a Banded Chomp Outrage(IIRC), while that is a lot, that's also only 40 into defense, maxed out it could take it much better, no? I dunno, I've just had a lot of success with Gliscor since Gen 4(pre-Poison...

Forgive my ignorance, I'm trying to get into stall, because it sounds like fun to me, but why don't stall teams make use of Gliscor? Poison Heal seems too good not to abuse, plus he is pretty good at dealing with Lucario with his typing. Is it Gliscor's predictability?

So now what you've seen is a good indicator of what's common? How is that fair? Most teams I've seen have just slapped on MK because it is a powerful Pokemon, no support and just relying on MK to get a kill before dying, two at best. If a player were to build a team around MK and have a cleric...

I'm not saying it's not Ubers worthy or whatever, I'm just tired of people treating it as so cut-and-dry as they do. I'm not even a fan of MegaKhan, so whether it goes or not doesn't bother me, but the fact that people just say, "It's uncounterable", without giving it a second thought annoys me...

You're dealing with a lot of hypothetical situations. It CAN carry Fire Blast, it CAN have a cleric, but in most common situations it won't have either of those. That's like saying a Gengar CAN run Thunderbolt and 2-shot your Vaporeon, but in an overwhelmingly large number of cases it won't have...

How is it gonna get +1 and then not get hit by a WoW? Stays base form, get a PuP on Gourgeist, goes mega next turn Crunch for ~70% then gets WoW'd. Even if Gour is nearly dead, ~15% top end from PuP then ~76% top end for Crunch, -12.5% from 2 turns of leftovers leaves Gour at ~21.5% and MegaKhan...

I mentioned the chance to 2HKO after SR.. Also, I've NEVER seen Fire Blast on MegaKhan, so I don't know what that's all about.

What about Gourgeist-Super? 252HP/252Def will be immune to PuP/Return after it Megas(which most do turn 1 from what I've seen), resists EQ and if they don't run Crunch you can just get off a WoW to cripple it, and even if they do run Crunch, it's not even guaranteed to 2HKO(guaranteed 3HKO after...

I actually love the idea of outspeeding Lucario..looks like I'm making a few more of these than I had first anticipated. Though it should be noted, for Lv50, you need 188 Spe EVs to outspeed Jolly Lucario.

I like the idea of a fast Gourgeist, but the problem is that the surprise factor isn't there, because the size clearly displays how fast it's gonna be. However, I see the potential, and definitely the fun in being able to threaten stuff like Mamo and D-nite. A question I have is do you have...

Malamar is not OU by a long shot, but I never said he was OU, I was merely putting forward set ideas and whatnot.

You're isolating the numbers too hard, obviously no set is going to work without a little bit of planning or setup, that's how this game works. Obviously Malamar is going to need help while performing his job, but that's what the other five pokemon on the team are for. As such, he'll need help...

What about a set with 252hp/252atk and assault vest? Hell, even 252hp/252spdef and assault vest, using Superpower to get attack and defense.

Well, Malamar and similar late game Scarfed cleanup 'mons have to contend with Talonflame for the spot, as he's one of the best late game cleanup Pokemon to date, in my opinion. It's hard to compete with +1p Brave Birds. However, I have seen Malamar do a ton of work with a scarf late game, so...

What would you use in the last slot? Ice Beam for good coverage? I'm also assuming the set has a Damp Rock, correct?

Ugh, SR always ruining things. Sucks to be Heat I guess. Ya, that's what I thought, guess it's worth a try. You get Sharp Beak in the main story, or do you have to get it off of something(with Thief)? Sharp Beak can also make it look like you're Banded(well, Jolly Banded).
