In a meta infested with future Suspect Tests, there is only one thing we ask of the Smogon gods: to Deliver Us! This is a balance team that I've laddered from 1500-1700 with before hitting a losing streak. I made it with the knowledge that Fairies, outside of Magearna and the Tapus, aren't...

When you mention Metagross' special tankiness, you mention it eating Naganadel's Draco Meteor. Unfortunately, unless you bait out the Meteor on another Pokemon and switch into Metagross as it's coming down, you're not going to have a very good time, since you're presumably in the face of +2 LO...

Mind if I give you a team, Joey? Made this Steelium Z Zygarde + Mega Pinsir team that has been working great in ~1750 Elo. The Zygarde outspeeds any Heatran, Ash Gren, and can survive a Scarfed Lele's Moonblast with the EV Spread. https://pokepast.es/4095e06958a77ca4

Though I am glad Nape got ranked, I can't support it going that high. It is a niche mon that isn't easy to play, and it probably needs to remain in the lower levels of the viability rankings. While I could see it rising to C (maybe?) I can't get behind it going to C+, and absolutely cannot...

As someone who has had to fight off Toxapexs with Zard X, unless they have Toxic, they lose. Even with Haze they will run out of Recovers before you run out of DClaws. The only hard support it needs is from Pokemon like Tyranitar and Bulu. Other than that you can just cover the meta with your...

I am sad to hear that the team isn't hearing the Zard X argument. I guess I shouldn't be mad though, since fewer people will expect it than if it rose. Pretty much support everything else that was said though. The ranking movement all makes sense.

Zapdos is also useless against Megazard X (bar Discharge Para), Mew, Chansey, Mega Venusaur, Tapu Koko, and Rotom-W off the top of my head. Without investment/Heat Wave it is sucks against Ferrothorn, Scizor (Normal and Mega), Magearna, and more. It is not a bad mon but if it gets Poisoned it...

While expecting Zard Y gives you a huge advantage, just having the typing of Dragon lets you come in on a lot more than Flying can. I do agree that Roost is the way to go right now, since you can punch holes in stall bar Sash Duggy. We have to ask ourselves something, though. Does Megazard X...

Wait, why does it suck to Roost? If Toxapex lacks Toxic you can easily beat it in a 1v1. Heatran and Lati both get destroyed by BandTar. Zard X absolutely needs support, but with it the mon looks pretty crisp.

I think people are overlooking one thing about Megazard X: it's resistance to Electric. Most people are conditioned for Y, so you can pick off Kokos or Magearnas easily. Speaking of Magearna, unless it is the All-Out Pummeling set, Megazard X dumps on it. If it is the opponent may predict you...

I agree with the drop of Nigilego. Speaking of B-, I am getting together some replays now that I managed to get back to top 500 to try to raise a mon that was put there (in my opinion) by a bandwagon. I'll try to make a more coherent post about it once I get home from vacation, but I would like...

I'm leaving this status blank. It gets too dated too fast.

My two cents on some of the noms. Zapdos to A. Disagree. Zapdos is certainly a cool Pokémon, but it doesn't need to rise imo. With TTar rising in usage, Zapdos suffers. Zapdos has coverage but generally bulky mons still switch into it without too much issue. I don't think Zapdos should move...

I am a huge Pidgeot advocate, but pick your poison. The stallbreaker set doesn't do much against most teams, while the normal set doesn't do much against stall. I don't really think that is a good argument for its raise, especially when Togekiss exists.

Greninja is only a check to it. A Naive Greninja is guaranteed to be OHKOed after rocks, is a very favorable roll b4, and even non-Naive Gren doesn't like it. 252 SpA Pidgeot-Mega Hurricane vs. 0 HP / 0- SpD Greninja: 273-322 (95.7 - 112.9%) -- 75% chance to OHKO 252 SpA Pidgeot-Mega Hurricane...

Well, after a long absence, I think it is time for me to rejoin the discussion. I am going to be a bit gutsy starting off with a nomination of my own. Pidgeot-Mega C -> C+ While I do not have any current results for it in top tier ladder, using this Pokemon in around the 1600s has felt...

Hello everyone! Today I am going to bring you the my first RMT of Sun/Moon. After laddering a fair bit and getting several accounts to 1400-1600 with this team, I think I have playtested enough to be confident. With that said, lets jump into this! פרחים (Shaymin) @ Life Orb Ability: Natural...
