The Starmie change looks good. I'll test it out. I'm not sold on getting rid of Tailwind. Tailwind Garde was what the whole team was built for. Thanks for the suggestion, though; I'll give it a try. The Breloom change also looks interesting. Do I really need more ways to beat Stall? I thought...

Hi and thanks for rating my team! A couple of things: you said I should switch my spread from 240HP/176Def/92Speed to 252HP/164Def/92Speed to outspeed Bisharp? I already do. I got that spread from the XY Smogondex, I think it's fine as it is. Next, you said to switch Talonflame to Thundurus...

Hi everyone! This is my first RMT post and it's a team centered around Mega Gardevoir. Now, that isn't too strange, but this Gardevoir team is designed to take everything you love and curb-stomp it repeatedly until you quit PokemonShowdown! Without further ado, here's the team. I'll...

Is there any particular reason as to why Thundurus-Therian is ranked twice? He's in the B and C ranks.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think he's bad, I was just trying to explain why he dropped in usage (besides, usage shouldn't be an indicator of strength). He was strong from the start of XY and is still strong now, there are just more Megas to choose from that fulfill his roles and people will...

I don't know if you're replying to someone so I'll just leave this here. IMO the hype for it (whatever it had) just died. ORAS brought us new toys with MegaGross, MegaLop, MeGallade, and MegaBee to have as our fast hard-hitters. I feel like it's still strong (but really requires a Swords Dance)...

AM Edit: Removed obnoxious bold. I heard you were talking shit about my waifu. That aside, I disagree with the ranks you gave Mega Loppuny and Mega Gardevoir. Mega Lopunny has fantastic matchups vs Stall or Hyper Offense depending on its set while still pulling its weight against balance. It...

It'd probably be the Scarf set. Chandelure has a high Special Attack stat which is offset by his low speed, that's why Scarf suits him best. I'd suggest going with Flamethrower, Shadow Ball, Energy Ball, and Fire Blast/Psychic. Max SpAt and Spe with a Modest or Timid nature.

Yes. High BP, utility, and spamability make them the best options. Hydro Pump is too yolo and Hidden Power/Icy Wind lack power.

Utility move 1: Knock Off move 2: Will-O-Wisp move 3: Recover move 4: Foul Play / Toxic ability: Prankster item: Sablenite evs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD nature: Impish This is what I found in the Sableye analysis.

Didn't Steel actually receive a defensive nerf? It lost resistance to Dark and Ghost (part of why Aegi was great and makes Knock Off orgasmicly good). Bug getting nerfs was just.. Game Freak pls and I disagree with Fire being a good Defensive typing for one reason only: Stealth Rocks. That...

Fairy's weaknesses are Poison and Steel with Poison moves being relatively rare (especially now that the ninja left). Steel's weaknesses are Fighting, Fire, and Ground which are very common offensive typings. There are plenty of 'mons that carry Earthquake as coverage while Fire and Fighting...

Few 'mons run Soundproof but if you want to go for the optimal route then yes, take Whirlwind. It's like Recover vs Defog on the Latis. I read somewhere that the only reason Roost is taken is because you are less likely to have someone use Imprison on you and block your recovery. It'll likely...

What about getting free boosts in stall teams' face? Manaphy has to rev up and doesn't deal damage while doing so, how does this deter Serperior? Is it because of Life Orb recoil? I see the downsides of its meddling 75 SpA but I think it has the tools to make up for that in its Speed and Glare...

What's the reasoning behind Serperior's placing in C+? I haven't tested him out but on paper seems like a decent cleaner and wall/stallbreaker. I expected the snake to reach at least B-.

Another thing to note about Mega Metagross with Bullet Punch: it allows you to switch into Mega Gardevoir and OHKO with some prior damage (56.3% chance to OHKO with Bullet Punch). Without Bullet Punch, Garde has a chance to KO with a Hyper Voice and Focus Blast or can Focus Blast on the...

P Pooooweeer saaaaveees. Focus blast is there to hit Bisharp, Tyranitar, Ferro, Heatran, and other Steel types that can take your T-bolts.

I'll give you a quick overview on each. Hyper Offense Characterized by fast and frail 'mons that like to hit hard, quickly, and retain momentum. You may find setup sweepers as a backup but most teams favor Pokemon with immediate power such as Mega Lopunny. Most teams with this playstyle carry...

Clefable's bulk is good if you invest in HP fully and then mostly into Def followed by SpDef. Setting up subs and passing them with Vaporeon is easier said than done: you'd have to be up against a really passive wall to set them up and pass them since you kill your momentum. There's better...

He's 'ok' because of his high HP stat but there's better clerics for the job. Sylveon hits harder than Vaporeon and is better at taking Special attacks. Clefable is a tankier cleric and is great against setup sweepers if you run her with Unaware. If your team is ok with having a very passive...
