The Beginner's guide to countering Deoxys-Speed - Do you want to counter it? Use a Slowbro! 20 Atk Life Orb Deoxys-S Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Slowbro: 120-143 (30.4 - 36.2%) -- guaranteed 3HKO 236 SpA Life Orb Deoxys-S Psycho Boost vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Assault Vest Slowbro...

1. Well EITHER WAY you can make an educated guess, eg. Deo-S + Bisharp, means its probably hazard-setter. It doesn't take much to guess what set Deo is running, if you got it wrong then that's your fault. Blaming the Deoxys-S and banning it because you couldn't work out what set it was running...

It doesn't matter what I say - even if I use the term revenge-killer in previous posts., regardless of what I say, I will get abused. Because I don't agree with the majority. I've used Deo-S and fully understand how it works. I've highlighted some parts of the post that are telling. I'll...

Ninja Charizard - you miss the point I make. I'm saying should we ban all Dual screeners?? Klefki is a better dual-screener in every way to Deoxys-S, better bulk, better type, Priority Screens..... It can pretty much always get up both screens. Deoxys can't so we shouldn't ban it because of...

Well, it can OHKO the revenge-killer set. The hazards/screens set you've pointed out it cannot, which is true. But regardless, if your opponent gets up Reflect your Shadow Sneak will still kill when they stay in... They are more likely to predict Shadow Ball and Light Screen and their won't even...

OK! More things to talk about. Ok so here you dismiss Bandnite as a calc, and refuse to even look at Slowbro. Firstly, the point of these calcs was to show how common things can defeat Deoxys-Speed, and powerful priority users can do a good job. Dismiss the Slowbro calc, fine. But the Dragonite...

I really don't see how your argument helps to ban Deoxys-S? You spend quite a lot of time telling us why its not versatile, which helps to keep it UN-BANNED, because versatility is dangerous. Then you say its broken because its a great suicide lead. You even say yourself Deoxys-Defense is...

Examples were in my Deoxys-S calculations, three common Pokemon that can defeat it, but depending on your team, if its built properly (i.e With Priority) you can defeat a Deoxys-S. I didn't use usage as an argument, I just said we should consider that if people aren't going to consider to use...

I'm getting my reqs to vote now, and I thought I should share my opinion on these two. MY OPINION: Deoxys-Speed should not be banned, Deoxys-Defense should be banned. Now I've done a fair few battles with both these two, and I would like to address Deoxys-Speed first. The best thing about...

Sorry, didn't know that, I stopped using this team after that realisation.

Stealth Rock damage. 120 Power is enough for most threats.

Shiny: Yes (Charizard) @ Charizardite X Ability: Blaze Shiny: Yes EVs: 144 HP / 240 Atk / 4 SDef / 120 Spd Adamant Nature - Flare Blitz - Dragon Claw - Dragon Dance - Roost This thing, is deserving of its S Ranking for sure. It's Fire/Dragon coverage is resisted by Azumarill and Carbink, and...

By the way this team managed fifth, I lost in the semi-finals.

Move Garchomp from A+ to S Garchomp fits the brief of a Pokemon that can thrive in any metagame, thus a reasons to make it S Rank. Scarf Garchomp is the best at what it does Revenge Killing; and requires little to no support to make it work. Natural bulk. Garchomp has 105 HP / 95 Def / 85...

Honestly, Mega Kangaskhan has its fair share of checks in Doubles 6v6. The real reason that Kangaskhan was a problem in the OU metagame was that it dominated singles because there is one target. But in doubles, Kangaskhan is still limited to taking out one threat per turn if it can even do...

Bump.

Voltaire (Manectric) @ Manectite Ability: Lightningrod Level: 50 EVs: 164 HP / 4 Def / 172 SAtk / 4 SDef / 164 Spd (Change suggested by Pinoy Pwnage) Timid Nature - Volt Switch - Overheat - Protect - Hidden Power [Ice] - The crux, of the team Mega Manectric. This thing has a use in and outside...

Is Baton Pass (with specific reference to full Baton Pass teams) a problem for the development of the metagame? - Yes. I haven't seen Baton Pass teams too much, but I have seen them. Scolipede is in my view the team's core, as flat-out there is no way to hit it because of...

Yeh, it isn't the best set Talonflame can run, and Heatran still forces switches but burns take its toll on Rotom, another of its counters. Roost is amazing priority reliable recovery... But Substitute doesn't get priority unfortunately U-turn is integral in this set and it is a great momentum move.

I think Lando-I, if it has an undesirable matchup just switches out, with amazing 4 move coverage, it can outspeed and hit MOST Pokemon, if it is afraid of getting KO'd it just switches into bulkier team mates. Lando-T is better at getting up rocks tbh..
