    Metagame Cross Evolution

    I remember TimeZone (and later Abyssal Bot) using some balance team with a double Regenerator core that was pretty nasty to face. Mandatory mention to Sacred Fire. Burning Gligar is nice since you can't really do much else to it. The burn chance in general would be amazing if not because bulky...

    Late reply, but for some reason I didn't get any alerts from replies on this thread (not even when I was tagged...), which is indeed weird. As of now, I'm ranking Frillish at B, as a defensive asset and rain sweeper. Naganadel seems interesting, it's not like we had a good evolution that offered...

    Metagame Cross Evolution

    So after replies on this thread and various tests on Murkrow, I'm adding it to B+. Murkrow is a very versatile physical attacker or suicide lead. Its unique traits allow Murkrow to run a series of different unique crosses each one with its perks: A set-up sweeper crossing with Gyarados, that...

    Metagame Cross Evolution

    Adding this team to samples, which were indeed missing a HO team which is still a very viable playstyle. Also, suggesting Taunt on Archen (over Acrobatics or Leech Seed) to beat opposing leads, and Gligar could perfectly go with Moxie since you have Memento support (which almost any HO should...

    VR Update! In this slate I'm updating the lower ranks with new discoveries or missed Pokémon. C+ Rank: Chansey (Clauncher) @ Leftovers Ability: Serene Grace / Natural Cure EVs: 252 Def / 4 SpA / 252 SpD Relaxed / Sassy Nature IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe - Scald - U-turn - Soft-Boiled -...

    Metagame Tier Shift

    This is why I'm saying Pyukumuku is restrictive: it forces you to run a special Taunt / Sub attacker. I think we should indeed wait for the metagame to settle a bit to check if that's too restrictive or not. Read above. I think the key in this entire discussion is the bolded statement here...

    First, status doesn't help vs. Pyukumuku at all. Pyukumuku is too passive to be run on anything but stall, which must have a cleric. Second, the whole point of Counter is invalidating anything that could 2HKO Pyukumuku from the physical side. Third, passive =/= not unhealthy.

    Pyukumuku is currently the best Unaware out there for stall teams. It is superior to Quagsire and Clefable due to a much higher, all-around bulk. It's defensive typing is also great, being only weak to Grass and Electric, none of which are x4 weaknesses (this makes it difficult to lure, unlike...

    Metagame Tier Shift

    Some OU Pokémon are still viable. Of course, they're not as good as in OU, but that's the point of OMs anyway: to shake up things. Don't sleep on Tapu Koko or Fini, nor on defensive staples such as Chansey, Clefable or Mega Sableye. Can confirm Gastrodon is great, but I've been using a more...

    Metagame Tier Shift

    I've seen Throh pre-glitch, abusing some RestTalk set with Guts and Circle Throw, but I don't know if it's good on the metagame (at worst it's an interesting concept). Other Fighting-types such as Gurdurr are usually more common, but obviously the glitch makes Throh better than it should be...

    Most offensive ways of checking Clamperl can also fail if Clamperl is behind Aurora Veil, being a set-up sweeper with Shell Smash Clamperl is definitely not a misfit in that kind of teams.

    A few ideas I've messed around with: Ditto @ Choice Scarf Ability: Imposter Shiny: Yes EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Def Relaxed Nature IVs: 0 Spe - Transform This guy doesn't change much between metagames, and it still does what it does better: revenge killing set-up sweepers and in...

    Pokemon designs that were ruined by 3D models

    I don't know, the yellow rings just feel... weird. Especially the one in its head. Flareon's model doesn't look scary or dangerous to me. Might have something to do with it being a fluffy fiery rabbit. Flareon and Jolteon actually have some nice 3D models imo.

    Pokemon designs that were ruined by 3D models

    Commenting about what I've read on this thread, Reshiram and Archeops got hit hardest imo. Reshiram's 2D sprite was just great with that posing. Agree that all of Reshiram, Zekrom and Kyurem-W/B have lost it's charm losing their blue/orange shades. Archeops's 2D sprite was also cool, but the 3D...
