Alright thanks for that. I will just have to be patient till the lower tiers are created.

I really hope that talonflame does not end up getting the ban hammer. Problem with Talonflame is that it only has 81 base attack and in ubers that simply is not going to cut it because ubers is such a bulky tier and it is just too frail to even survive in that tier. Yes it has the most powerful...

I have a question. When is RU and lower tiers in general going to get implemented on showdown? Is there going to be something like an RU beta implemented next month or something?

I have lost games because of a cross chop or stone edge miss. And I have won games because Brick break and rock slide do the job just fine because after a shell smash boost, anything that gets hit for super effective damage by those moves will still not appreciate it. I don't care if Cross chop...

For anyone who is going to use Barbaracle and use shell smash with razor shell, cross chop and stone edge, I really do suggest you use brick break instead of cross chop and rock slide instead of stone edge. They may have lower power but brick break still gets boosted by tough claws, rock slide...

Ehh I wouldn't exactly call Salamence frail, I reserve that for pokes such as mienshao and lucario because Salamence can actually take a hit without being brought down below half health. 95/80/80 are average defenses. But I do agree that Salamence is no longer the monster that it used to be...

I really recommend not using hyper beam or hydro cannon on greninja. The problem is yeah you may end up killing something, but since you are locked in on the next turn, you either always get revenge killed or worse you end up becoming set up fodder. Especially in OU where there are pokes like...

So after a bit of testing, I can safely say never run fly. I have always been told that its an awful move, and it is only viable in game. And yeah it is. But some people said that it was viable so I tried it out. What I noticed happening was that most of the time hawlucha would have done much...

Of course! I knew that, I derped. That is my bad. I really do like the sky attack unburden set or the dread plate fling set. This is the set which is basically the most standard unburden set for hawlucha which I have seen until the flying gem becomes available. Item: Dread Plate/Power herb...

If people want to use fling with the dread plate, may I suggest using the Hard stone instead? Using the Hard stone with fling gives you a base 100 power attack while with the dread plate it is only 90 power. On the 3ds the Hard stone can be found on route 8, ambrette town or the glittering cave...

Toxic could potentially be a viable option on this thing because the new 6th gen mechanics means that toxic will never miss when used by a poison type. Although if you want to run toxic, you may have to drop a coverage move.

Its weird that because of the power creep from last gen, a lot of pokes from 6th gen are just underrated because they seem underpowered compared to 5th gen. Maybe the last gen has made battlers more lazier in general because there isn't as much super powerful stuff that have obvious sets to use...

Thanks man for the cut off percentage info. I have tested Bisharp and honestly this thing is an absolute savage. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up in OU because it is that good. I find it funny that knock off that used to be just a really weak move used only on defensive pokes now can just...

Can anyone tell me what is the cut off usage percentage for UU? Just like how the cut off percentage for OU is 3.4 what is the cut off percentage that determines what is in UU and what drops into RU? And even though its still early, does anyone know what the current usage statistics are like?

I have been noticing that the Mega evos in UU are all actually doing quite well because they all have there own niches. Even mega banette since players are actually getting smarter on how to use that thing. So it might be possible that no megas will drop below UU.

Actually 95/78/71 is not really that frail. If you really want to see frail, check out mienshao's and zoroark's hp and defense stats.

Bisharp is so beastly. I really do think that all good uu teams need to have at least a counter to this thing because Bisharp can easily destroy teams especially after getting up a swords dance. At + 2 attack, sucker punch does a ton of damage even to pokes that resist dark and most of the time...

I have never been swept by this combo because as soon as I see a scolipede and a heracross on the same team, I always bring out my fire or flying type whenever I see scolipede come out and start spamming flare blitz or brave bird because I am not going to fall for that BS. I have seen other...

I think the main niche that galvantula has over other sticky web users is that its the only one that actually has some offense to it. I have actually seen people on showdown end up losing two pokes to this thing because they muck around and just don't attack it straight away. With Compound eyes...

I am going to be very interested in what tier this pokemon ends up being in. If it ends up in RU or NU than this thing may end up being a problem. Never underestimate the belly drum unburden combo. Its physical coverage moves means it gets walled by steel types, but in the lower tiers where...
