Cameruptite: Do Not Ban Typhlosion: Do Not Ban

confirming as lol kingler

Saying Fighting and Normal are the most common types in the tier is arguable but nonetheless it's not my point that having those immunities is better or worse than more resistances, the fact that it doesn't have many resistances means it takes a lot of neutral hits. One of the biggest problems...

I guess I should've clarified but I specifically meant resistances and not immunities. Yes, it is immune to Fighting and Normal and Psychic, but only resists Poison, meaning there's a lot of stuff that hits it for neutral damage. Maybe my opinion is skewed because I've been using the same team...

Yeah really, smashpass is very viable but you're sacrificing two turns to do this and is incredibly predictable. Unless Gorebyss threatens your only win condition, it's fairly easy to play around (not to mention priority, with 3 highest ranked pokes in the tier having it, one who can even hit...

"S-rank: reserved for Pokemon who can sweep or wall significant portions of the metagame with little support, and Pokemon who can support other Pokemon with very little opportunity cost ("free turns"). Also the home of Pokemon who can easily perform multiple roles effectively, increasing their...

If use something as check or counter, it has to be able to deal with things that quite likely to happen. While Lum or Leftovers may be more common than LO, using a poke to counter Ferligatr that loses to LO Feraligatr is stupid, even if LO less common than Lum or Leftovers (it's still pretty...

+2 252+ Atk Life Orb Feraligatr Ice Punch vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Vileplume: 322-380 (90.9 - 107.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock 252+ Atk Life Orb Feraligatr Ice Punch vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Vileplume: 161-192 (45.4 - 54.2%) -- 95.3% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Black Sludge...

So with Sigilyph now banned, who now takes the crown as the best poke in the tier? Shiftry, Feraligatr and Spiritomb are the currently the highest rated mons according to the viability rankings, all with A+ ranking. I personally think it's Shiftry (I think the SD set is drastically underused)...

Except for when Ferligatr SDs on your switch and +2 252+ Atk Life Orb Feraligatr Ice Punch vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Eviolite Vullaby: 234-276 (68 - 80.2%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock, or let's you just switch in on an Ice Punch, you're going to have to roost eventually and he could...

Vileplume deserves to be at least B+. It's such a useful physical wall with that checks A ranked pokemon like Feraligatr, Shiftry, Sawk, Rhydon, Seismatoad, Samurott and Gurdurr (7 out of the 12 pokemon with A- or higher rank). It can sleep things or be a cleric and has reliable recovery, along...

http://pastebin.com/65Yajva6 (Magneton EVs are kinda random) A team I've been using, I know it has some major flaws (I can't deal with zangoose/kangaskhan and fire spam, I just have to play super aggresive and always have the momentum) but I peaked 1603 #5 so I decided to share. Basically I try...

I disagree with with the notion that Umbreon is really that great of a check to Nidoking. Yes, if it's at full health or if has to Nidoking switch in to it, Umbreon can effectively stall it out. However, with rocks up and counting two leftovers recoveries, Focus Blast is still a clean 2HKO...

What's the consensus on the best Umbreon set? I think it has to be the standard Wish Protect Foul Play Heal Bell. In Petrico94's post it's somewhat clear that Umbreon can do a bit more than Florges in terms of support, but I feel like other pokes can use those moves better (taunt, baton pass)...

There are a plethora of good offensive poison types, some of which are some of the best offensive pokemon in the tier. Florges can effectively fend off Mienshao and Heracross depending on their sets, but still get wrecked by Fire types like Entei, Darmanitan and Victini.

First off it's very plausible that Victini has to V-Create twice to get kill. But even if it doesn't, and it's not scarf, 252+ Atk Life Orb Honchkrow Pursuit vs. -1 4 HP / 0 Def Victini: 273-322 (79.8 - 94.1%). So if it's not scarf, and has taken prior damage, it's very likely that Honchkrow can...

I imagine Hydreigon will be a lot like Victini. It can run a plethora of sets and items, and different sets can work well against counters to it's more standard ones but can be revenged by some common threats. The scariest thing about Hydreigon is how well it will pair with the Nidos and...

Victini is better than Darmanitan because Bolt Strike, going mixed and Trick allows it to cripple or beat the counters to it's standard set. However, it certainly isn't S-Rank material. Spamming V-Create is just asking for Honchkrow to come in and get a free moxie boost. I don't think any poke...

Not really sure how effective that Absol lead is. Sure, it prevents hazards, but it loses to the most common leads. Based on February usage data, Darmanitan Mienshao Victini Swampert and Tornadus were the most common leads. Jolly Mienshao with life orb OHKOs with u-turn, and Jolly scarf Mienshao...
