Mandibuzz is a potential check to Hoopa-U. It only fears t-bolt and +2 focus blast while hitting back hard with foul play. 0 Atk Mandibuzz Foul Play vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Hoopa: 259-306 (85.7 - 101.3%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO (uninvested attack for hoopa).

Jolteon + Spikes Honorable Mention: Water absorb Forretress

I'm really liking Jolteon as I keep reading this thread. Jolteon desperately needed something interesting in its movepool and this could be what it needed to carve a niche. Jolteon wins easy against the water and flying hazard removers (starmie,tentacruel,mandibuzz,skarmory), while being able to...

Weak Armor Mega Garchomp

Soooo don't mean to be that guy but there's been no discussion for a few days now, when do we get to vote?

M-Banette Ghost/Fighting and Drain Punch. (Honorable mention: Umbreon+Magic Bounce)

theorymon suggestion: Tangrowth+U-turn

Holy crap this slate, noivern seems the weakest of the bunch but still a good idea. I would normally groan over something like desolate land being given to a mon but it makes sense on megarupt and buffs to trick room teams seem like a cool idea but I'm sure he would see use outside of trickroom...

+1, those are all great abilities that can make a bunch of mons strong/broken. Unfortunately 100 base atk and 65 base speed aren't turning heads anywhere near OU even with a cool move like thousand arrows. Poor guy basically needs a mega or huge power to be OU.

Damn I'm torn on this one, while I love the mega bee, I'm more inclined to defensive stuff(RIP Thundi and Mandi). uuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Recover+Bronzong (Council please bring the loser of these two back on another slate)

Mega Sceptile + Technician

I want forretress to be good in OU but this version doesn't seem to be good enough. Maybe U-turn can have him see the light of day. Mega-ttar can very easily have hippowdon on the team to help him out should he be forced out, I think it is pretty scary. I did some common priority calcs to show...

I agree with this suspect 100%, I haven't played ubers since gen 1 since it's just been shit since then, hopefully with this guy banned we can move on to ban the other stupid stuff in the tier and get back to the mewtwo vs mewtwo days of yore.

0 SpA Pixilate Sylveon Hyper Voice vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Latios: 252-296 (84.2 - 98.9%) -- 75% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock Latios doesnt like staying in on sylveon, life orb gets OHKO'd most of the time and sylveon can use wish/protect shenanigans heal up.

This, I've been running my team unchanged on the suspect ladder and the uninvested hyper voice sylveon and mega-alt I run make it pretty easy to deal with Giratina-O. Altaria doesn't like switching in to WoW but cleric sylveon counters him pretty good with 2hko hyper voice and heal bell to take...

Mega Aggron+ Dragon type. Infernape is just too strong and this defensive buff is just too nice to pass.

Protean hydreigon is just way too strong for my vote, those calcs show that most teams just aren't safe if it existed. My vote is for No Guard Poliwrath. I had a hard time choosing between it and granbull but ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD.

Thoughts on Blastoise? It had its niche last gen as a bulky spinner, it seems like a nice friend for Tornadus and M-Pinsir. Is it completely outclassed by Tentacruel?

Just want to throw in another point on the hydra. People are saying its speed is disappointing, yes it is kind of slow for this meta's standards, but it would be completely broken if it were faster. Ninja got banned with considerably lower attacking stats and much lower defensive stats. The...
