I really need to start running calcs before I speculate on potential things for beedrill to evolve against... I was literally just seeing what it could outspeed lol. And so there is content in this post, Everstoned321 you probably want zone to trap and kill skarm and ferrothorn, which are two...

Yeah I forgot about sucker punch, but jolly is pretty legit to let it outspeed breloom, modest venusaur and adamant dragonite, as well as letting it at worst tie mega scizor and hera (actually you probably want to underspeed mega scizor to get a slow u-turn, but not many run max speed jolly...

Imo, getting that turn to mega evolve isn't really that hard; there are quite a few pokemon in ou that beedrill already outspeeds before evolving (Bisharp, Breloom and conkeldurr to name a few) and of course nearly anything weak to his stabs should be fairly easy to force out. Protect just...

Based on that set I get the feeling that rhyperior is going to be in high demand whenever Oras comes out as one of few checks to salamence

You can avoid the 2hko from focus blast with 140 spd evs, but imo the hp gives it better all-around utility (it isn't ohko'd by adamant medicham's high jump kick for instance) and lets you take psyshocks a bit better (but you do x4 resist so that doesn't matter much).

Zen headbutt is pretty nice for secondary stab, and eq is a good coverage option as usual, but it pretty much depends on how the meta develops and what your team needs. Although if I were you I'd dump those evs back into attack because you can still 2hko slowbro before and after it mega...

I've got a couple: 0 Atk Sceptile Low Kick (60 BP) vs. 4 HP / 252+ Def Eviolite Chansey: 124-148 (19.3 - 23%) -- possible 5HKO 0 Atk Sceptile Earthquake vs. 4 HP / 252+ Def Eviolite Chansey: 103-122 (16 - 19%) -- possible 6HKO 136 Atk Sceptile Low Kick (60 BP) vs. 4 HP / 252+ Def Eviolite...

Basically, ground/ice is amazing coverage, especially in a tier with as many ice weaknesses as ou. Glalie doesn't really need much outside of that, whereas ice shard can quite easily snipe weakened pokemon that threaten it, such as garchomp or scarf landorus-t. Imo, there isn't really much else...

Knock off seems better as gallade already has a pretty nice speed tier, but shadow sneak could be nice for the latis and starmie. Imo, leaf blade might be important on gallade if slowbro really takes off, as shadow sneak and knock off won't hurt him much.

My Two Cents on today's leaks: I'm quite liking Mega Audino this far; it's nice to see Game Freak put a fresh spin on the "completely useless outside of experience grinding ingame" Pokémon. Slowbro on the other hand just looks like a slowpoke in a sleeping bag, and losing leftovers and...

I believe that Aegislash is certainly a great pokémon; it is very versatile, has brilliant stats, and a movepool that contains everything that he needs to do his jobs. Is he, however, broken? I would argue no, primarily for two reasons; firstly, ground is and always has been a phenomenal stab...

Not sure what the lemons are for either

Lurking :)
