  1. Aggron [QC 2/3] written

    I've found some success with an Autotomize set. Assuming you clear out anything that resists Head Smash or still outspeeds and threatens with a fighting, ground, or special move, Aggron can clean house if given an opportunity. Probably not as overall useful as the CB set, but can be great if you...
  2. Pokémon Pyukumuku

    One lovely ability of this little guy is his ability to absolutely kill momentum for both sides. Swapping in Pyukumuku makes the opponent drop whatever they are currently up to in order to deal with it, a power that definitely deserves respect. There are a couple ways to go around doing the same...
  3. Pokémon Guzzlord

    I've had decent success with an AV mixed set. Guzzlord @ Assault Vest Ability: Beast Boost EVs: 4 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpD Quiet/Brave Nature IVs: 0 Spe - Heavy Slam/Gyro Ball - Draco Meteor - Sludge Wave/Earthquake - Crunch/Dark Pulse Guzzy absolutely eats hits from anything that isn't a...
  4. Pokémon Passimian

    I can't see it surviving in OU, but it could work in UU. It has options, it can either bank on speed or bulk, meaning your opponent has to guess whether your Passimian is a physical tank, or a speedy cleaner. Unfortunately, UU is pretty crowded with Fighting types with stronger bulk and power...
  5. Pokémon Vikavolt

    Honestly, the existence of Xurkitree alone means this thing will never see OU, since it hits even harder, is a bit faster, is just about as bulky, and has no rock weakness with a better Moxie for icing. I see it working well as a wallbreaker in lower tiers, since a lot of bulky waters don't have...
  6. Pokémon Necrozma

    For the most part, I can't see what Necrozma brings to the table as a pokemon that other pokemon don't do better, unless you are in the oddly specific scenario of needing a bulky psychic, but also needing a rock setter in the same package. It hits reasonably hard, but has no movepool to speak...
  7. Metagame NP: RU Stage 15: Gucci Gucci (Honchkrow RU, Amoonguss and Quagsire OU)

    As a relative nobody, here are a few points of order. Defensivly, Durant has few weaknesses, but more importantly very few things that can beat it can actually come in on it. Sure, your Emboar can threaten it with a fire move, but, oooh, that Emboar just took over half of its HP, and Durant is...
  8. Project Break This Team: RU Edition (Week 8: TheWall22's I finally Found It Balance)

    ++ Eelektross @ Assault Vest Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 HP / 80 Atk / 176 SpA Brave Nature - Flamethrower - Drain Punch - U-turn - Thunderbolt Granbull @ Lum Berry Ability: Intimidate EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def Adamant Nature - Play Rough - Fire Punch - Ice Punch/Earthquake - Heal...
  9. ORAS Ubers Viability Ranking Thread (Final ORAS Update - Post #1164)

    I feel that Palkia is a tad too low. Palkia sits at a comfortable speed level (albeit a level that was much more comfortable some time ago), has good Special Attack, and has great coverage. It has passable defenses, and a decent support movepool as well. It hits as hard as Arceus does on the...
  10. Resource ORAS OU Viability Ranking Thread V4

    I'll take a neutral stance on Hoopa-U as well. The good: As a wallbreaker, it is exceptionally powerful, and keeps enemies guessing which defense to have ready. Hoopa-U's truly unique niche is its ability to simultaneously be a physical and a special wallbreaker. It can rip both Chansey and...
  11. Metagame LC Suspect - Diglett (not banned)

    2 cents from a nobody. Sure, Diglett is annoying. But it isn't dominating anything, or shaping the meta around it any more than other top tier threats. Diglett isn't even unique in what it does, if one really wanted to, Trapinch could be used to secure a KO on many of the same things Diglett...
  12. EXTREME Tier Shift

    I thought a bit, and Regigigas should not be banned. If this were a OM based in OU, I'd agree, but this is Ubers. Regigigas with +40 in everything is honestly not bad. If you can manage to stall out 5 turns with Regigigas against the likes of Primal Groudon, Mega Mewtwo X, or Xerneas, you...
  13. EXTREME Tier Shift

    Kabutops gets 90/145/135/95/100/110 and generally benefits from larger bulk, making setting up a bit easier, and making that same amount of set up a threat to 'mons that otherwise had several tiers protecting them from crap like this. Abomasnow ------------------- Mega Abomasnow...
  14. Contrary Doubles

    So... Do pokemon with contrary null out the meta effect? Not sure how that could actually be useful...
  15. Genmons [Playable on rom!]

    So Topsy-Turvy Klefki is the one-stop shop counter for anything that tries to set up. Power-Herb Geomancy becomes a debilitating -2 to Spa, Spd, and Spe. Shell Smash Swoobat just gets turned from a sweeper to a wall, though. With all of the Gen 2 spore monkeys running around, Safety Goggles...
  16. EXTREME Tier Shift

    A random smattering of PU pokemon that could be notable. Most probably not, as many are down in the briny depths of PU for reasons other than stats. So, Rampardos has 137/205/100/105/90/98. I mean, Rampardos' attack has always been a gimmick, but seriously, if it hits something it will most...
