Those spreads seem oddly specific. What specifically are you targeting with those spreads? What pokemon and moves does this guy survive with those spreads? Other than that, what pokemon have you been pairing with Vikavolt? I'm just asking out of curiosity.

Ice Beam over Blizzard? It makes sense if you plan on completely sweeping with Ninetales but I don't expect Ninetales to be in for more than a few rounds... definitely not beyond the scope of Hail leaving. Admittedly, I was super hyped for this mon but havn't got around to playing around with it...

True. I'm not the greatest at making builds, but it's worth noting that running Venom Drench still helps deal with physical attackers (and, with my bad RNG, it sometimes was even more consistent than Scald). The Taunt complaint is totally valid, though. I found Venom Drench niche enough to be...

This pokemon is going to be a staple in a lot of comps. It seems like an absolutely great pivot or tank and covers everything Ferrothorn doesn't. Not to mention this mon's stats are flexable enough to run SpD and Def builds. It packs enough utility to be useful in almost any comp, as well...

I'm surprised more people are not talking about this fella. He seems like a really good pivot... especially when you want this guy to die and more often than not instantly kill more squishy and higher damage sweepers. You can use Pyu alongside a greedy water type who wouldn't normally be able to...

I'm very aware it got nerfed. Talonflame is designed to ohko anything in the core that fat DaKakz posted and that's all it's designed to do. Hell, that's even why it has Acrobatics over Brave Bird.

Talonflame @ Flying Gem Ability: Gale Wings EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Roost - Acrobatics - Flare Blitz - U-turn Without Flying gem... with Flying gem it's a bigger 1 hit. 252 Atk Talonflame Acrobatics (110 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Pheromosa: 1120-1324 (395.7 - 467.8%) --...

Didn't realize that. My bad. I've heard from a couple individuals that Z-Status gained accuracy when it was used and it sounded believable considering Z-Offensive have perfect accuracy, so I was under the impression that it was the case. Regardless, the initial power drop is worth it still...

Tail Glow Xurkitree @ Psychium Z Ability: Beast Boost EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Nature: Timid or Modest - Tail Glow - Thunderbolt - Hypnosis - Hidden Power Ice / Energy Ball / Grass Knot / Dazzling Gleam Sleep the mon you want to set up on with 100% (90%?) accuracy and get the +1 speed...

What I got off Serebii... Which means it's possible to breed non-Alola Raichu in Alola as long as you have 2 Raichus who do not originate from Alola... if they are correct. Again, no pokebank means we can't know for certain.

There are mechanics in Sun and Moon that allow you you to limit the 'size' of your Zygarde. You can make your Zygarde only 10% if you wish and it will never change when set this way. Spoilers! You can even disassemble and create a completely new Zygarde if you wish! You can do this as many...

Acording to Serebii, Type: Null and Silvally is unbreedable, which completely breaks my heart when it comes to this mon. Such a unique mon with it's movepool and stats, and super flexible. Silver Ally Silvally @ Darkinium Z Ability: RKS System EVs: 4 Atk/252 Def/252 Speed Jolly Nature -...

Furfrou, but less stylish and with a worse ability and better movepool to do it's job. Bewear @ Rocky Helmet Ability: Fluffy EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD Impish Nature - Pain Split - Toxic - Bind - Hammer Arm / Return By no means the a great set, but a memey fun set to cheese bulky leads that...

The moment I saw 43 speed, I thought about a trickroom style setup. There are a ton of mons that can utilize Trickroom and it's benefits this gen, I'd like to see where this mon goes this generation.

So this guy seems pretty good for doubles. Anyone have any thoughts on this fella? http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-sm/741.shtml# It gets Baton Pass and mimics the effects of any dance used. As a support who can baton pass it's partner's Dragon Dance/Quiver Dance to another mon and has a pretty...

Sableye @ Sablenite Ability: Prankster EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def or 252 SpD / 4 Atk Bold Nature - Knock Off/Snarl - Recover - Night Shade/Foul Play - Will-O-Wisp Night Shade is very very potent against threats that would normally out stall Sableye in stall teams. More than once this move has gotten...

The issue with banning the pokemon is the fact that it's this strategy alone that makes them OP, not the pokemon (HA or not) alone. The issue with banning specific movesets is the fact it opens up the gate to a lot of changes (Darkvoid + Darkrai). The problem with limiting the BP play style is...

Why don't we simply limit BP chained based on how long the chain goes on for? With 2-3 having little to no change from what it is now, to 5 chains having the harshest restrictions (where we could apply Scolipede and Espeon effective bans).

With the lack of drive to look through all 86 pages of this thread at this exact moment, I don't know if this has been suggested yet. Why not just put a cap of how long a baton chain can go for... (i.e. 2 pokemon can have baton pass on any given team, meaning a limit to how much you can chain...

I am currently running stall and having some success with a Furfrou, Sableye, Florges defensive core and a splash of a defensive Aegislash to stall and setup on a team(The last two pokemon are pending, Evo. Dusclops, Mega Venusaur, Roserade... Whimsicott or other stallers post Pokebank?). One of...
