Akkoroflare The Akkorokamui is an ancient sea monster, noted for glowing and being red (and huge, but let's ignore that.) Flare is obvious - I was also considered Akkorosear (water + fire connotation.)

Volt Switch - Absolutely not. Electric coverage is dubious as it is when we're supposed to be threatened by water types, especially when VS lets CAP get away from them and generate momentum essentially for free. This is unacceptable. U-Turn - Presents an interesting choice. If you know your...

Oi, I just outlined a few to give a general idea of the article. fwiw I definitely would've put more emphasis on what you mentioned for Kefki - the SwagPlay mention would've just been more of a joke than anything else, and the other sets are way more consistent. If you guys would like the rest...

Huge Power While Infiltrator probably wouldn't be common enough to make the sub users too scared, it can definitely function as a nasty surprise. It deals with threats the primary ability doesn't, while being less useful in the general case. This makes it a great candidate for secondary, I...

Hydreigon What makes it too good for UU? There have been plenty of non-OU Pokemon whose movepools have made even Ubers green with envy, but Hydreigon does them one better by having an excellent stat spread to go with its coverage. Hydreigon works in UU for essentially the same reason it worked...

Sounds like a plan.

Metagame seems like a good category for it. And yeah, I get that I'm a bit of a wildcard. I understand the hesitation and definitely appreciate giving me a shot!

Bulletproof Analytic Contrary Analyzing analytic led me to the somewhat contrary opinion it's not a bulletproof option.

The idea of this article is to give some attention to Pokemon currently languishing in Borderline. I've always felt bad for things in this zone, as they're simply too good for UU and yet too outclassed to rise to OU. Most will see little use this generation, doomed to be irrelevant barring a...

I had actually considered switching Energy Ball to Psychic, although it's nice for dealing with other bulky waters like Suicine who otherwise wall Manaphy. Giving Rotom-W max SPD was more a demonstration of power thing, since you shouldn't be switching in Rotom on Manaphy anyway unless it's...

I run the 252 HP EVs too, though it's more of a wallbreaker than a sweeper without the speed EVs. It also compliments Talonflame well, you can wreck Rotom-W after one boost: +3 252+ SpA Manaphy Energy Ball vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Rotom-W: 308-364 (101.3 - 119.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Latios does get Psyshock from being Psychic, so there is that. And yeah, just like the indirect buff grass moves get due to Rotom-W, Psychic became important coverage because it's one of the only ways to put a dent in M-Venu.

Blissey does have the niche of passive recovery, which for a wall I would say is more important than the niche Donphan fills.

If you're going to run Celebi, it benefits greatly from Rain support. Heal bell on it is really redundant since it has Natural Cure for itself, you'd be better off with it on Sylveon. Celebi's not really a hit-and-run kind of poke, so I don't think Leaf Storm works very well on it. Assuming...

Nominating Hydreigon for B Right out of the gate, Hydreigon got a very unfortunate nerf this gen with the introduction of Fairies, which is 4x weak to. This alone excludes him from being A Rank. However, the above definition fits him almost perfectly. He is occasionally outperformed by the...
