BAN

Probably gonna vote ban when the time comes. Haven't had big problems with it myself, but it does seem that it restricts teambuilding a good amount. (The thing with me is that I don't really make new teams. I just make different versions of my existing teams by changing 2 or 3 mons.) I also...

Sample teams should be worked on, and I want to post a sample team of my own so here it is: Ditto and the Bulky Balanced Bunch Whether this is considered stall could maybe be up for debate, simply because of how bulky this team is, and because of the fact that every mon runs a recovery move...

Ban I started playing on PS again about 2 weeks ago, after not playing for 5 months, so I haven't really seen what Gothitelle can do firsthand. I have only played 1 Gothitelle user. It was in a tournament, and the player did not know how to use their team. But from my point of view...

I don't think that Groudon should be the only reason that something isn't banworthy. +3 Xurk can still break past max hp/spdef groudon with Grass Knot over Energy Ball. Here's the calc: +3 252+ SpA Xurkitree Grass Knot (120 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Groudon-Primal: 443-522 (109.6 - 129.2%) --...

Yeah, Deoxys-S/Xurkitree using Zap Cannon are what makes me think that it should be banned. Against Deo-S, you have to switch-ins except Groudon, Zygarde (hoping it doesn't run Ice Beam), Blissey (which can be broken through with Nasty Ploy and Focus Blast), Zapdos, or some really bulky mons...

Does anybody think that Zap Cannon should be banned?

My Vote: Ban

Highlord, I'm pretty sure your whole segment on Gengarite Gengar was in response to my post, so I'll respond back. Unless each Mon on a team has volturn, is ghost-type, or holds Shed Shell, then a team cannot collectively check Mega Gengar. You can use a pursuit trapper to kill off Gengar, but...

Before Mega Gengar: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/mix-and-mega-finale-suspect-test-1797.3540979/page-55#post-6683789 Blissey and Skarmory should be in S rank After Mega Gengar: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/mix-and-mega-finale-suspect-test-1797.3540979/page-71#post-6999322...

I feel like a properly used Ditto could handle that team quite easily. I don't think ate-speed isn't broken in Mix and Mega. It keeps the pokemon like Weavile, Keldeo, and Terrakion in check (as well as Ditto). To make a good team in Mix and Mega you need a counter (or counters) to ate-speed...

Yeah Ditto is very good in Mix and Mega. Near the end of the last month that M&M was playable, 3 out of 5 of the top ladder players used it on their team. It's also on the Viability Rankings at B-.

So... Today I try to log in on PS under my alt: penisdude69, and it says that my account is disabled. Great. I logged into it yesterday just fine. It happened without warning and i don't know who did it. I understand that some might find the word penis to be vulgar, BUT it is a proper anatomical...

If you're having trouble with Cloyster (or any setup sweeper in general) you should use choice scarf Ditto. It's fun to use and it's very useful in this metagame. Is a Pokemon too strong or too fast for your team to handle? Just use Ditto! Are boosting physical Keldeos, Azumarills, Serperiors...

Like many others, I also run a ghost team. And Mega Lopunny used to be a significant threat to my team, but then I changed the reflector of my team from Gengar to Cofagrigus. So when Lopunny attacks Cofagrigus and gets Mummy, the rest of my team (excluding my mega) effectively walls that Mega...

No need to be uneasy on Ditto. 3 of the top 5 players on ladder use it. The Vialibity Rankings are looking great. Two changes that I really think are justified: Skarmory A --> A+ Proposed by AllJokesAside Completely checks Zygarde (S rank), checks Primal Groudon (S rank) that dont run...

Ooooh OK. Yeah, I can agree with that. What I see in Blastoisinite is the extremely strong Dark Pulse it gives. It really did a number to my old team (probably cause I make such passive teams). Blastoisinite gives Hoopa-U the strongest special attacking move that it's possible to have...

Kinda gonna repeat some of what was written in my original post. I believe 80 base speed is good for it because it can outspeed a handful of walls (that are uninvested in speed) in this meta. Notable ones are Latiasite Heatran, Blue Orb Skarmory, and Sablenite Mew. Cameruptite Hoopa-U is only...
