alright, I'll update soon, just got some hectic stuff at school so i'm a little behind

Status: In Progress http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/steelix Changes: Dropped the Baitlix set Edited the Physical Wall, Choice Band and Curse movesets Added a Rest-talk moveset Will add a Lead set and updated Curse set tomorrow [SET] name: The Iron Curtain move 1: Stealth Rock...

Cresselia is BL under the defensive characteristic of an Uber, the fact that it gets near the offensive characteristic and can fill in support roles is just icing on the cake. UU list walled or beaten pokemon are bolded (sometimes it doesn't matter if you can hit it, as it outspeeds and...

yeah, switch to a spiritomb and zam dies i'm kinda bored with the whole uxie/ambipom/froslas leads, so i'm going to start testing random shit as leads. starting with scarf rampardos

Altaria needs a mention in this, 4x resistance to grass and natural cure make it a good switch into any grass type

Defensive poliwrath with Encore/Hydro Pump/Brick Break/Ice Punch is one of the better encore users right now, since it has the threat of running something other than encore. Alakazam is also good at encoring, but is likely to die to every pursuit user along the way.

I'm usually fine with pory, but it is a real pain in the ass once set up. still, I think there will be enough priority running around to keep it in check though, but if the bulky set is that tough... maybe not

Just a quick summary of how I view the metagame: the water/fire/grass core died as soon as the new list was announced, so the whole metagame revolves around ghost, dark, normal, fighting and psychic. Bulky normals are the best sweepers out there right now, especially physical ones, since...

registeel wants nothing to do with np pory, or specs if it guesses right and uses hp ground/fighting also, just wondering, if one of the rotom appliances drops to UU usage levels, would it fall? or would it stay because it's almost exactly the same as the other rotoms?

is it just me or does every froslass run a different set? like, I'm usually fine with it, since my current mesprit lead 2hko's them all and outruns everything but the scarf version, but is there any reason why bulky/focus sash/scarf versions exist? isn't there a clear cut "best lead" set...

I was going to say that as soon as I saw his post. Encore is a free switch in, but only for pokes that don't need setup, as everyone who does needs setup runs the risk of being trapped as well. this is especially true for bulkier encore users like poliwrath, since they won't be OHKO'd by...

you missed somethings on that first, if you switch in, cress is going to start with 1 more boost than you have. you'll take a free hit while you're catching up in cm's, those hits do 37.5% - 44.1% by the way, not 26-30 second, cress has moonlight, so it can heal why you just pain split third...

meh, I haven't had problems with trickers (outside of trickspecs Z and Zam), cause i just switch a choiced poke in when they show up. sure, you can switch out of encore, but the other guy isn't stuck on encore if he messes up

yeah, but trick can be seen coming, and also limits your pokemon until they trick. Encore can be used as a filler (on, say, a poliwrath), whereas the whole set has to revolve around trick to be effective

cresselia's gotta go, that's the only thing i know for certain. I also deeply hate milotic for it's ability to wall just about everything, and hit back reasonably hard, but I think Cresselia is significantly worse at the moment. plus, milotic can't take a hit from Z or raikou, so that's been...

been running a kangaskhan anti-lead with fake out, return, sucker punch and focus punch, with scrappy to hit any ghosts (mostly froslass but i've seen some rotoms, spiritombs and banettes). and it's been working pretty well, I have to switch out on ambipom leads, but it rarely sets anything up...

just wondering, the starter's (now defensive lead) EVs were given to handle OU pokemon, shouldn't it get a new spread for UU? I doubt UU spiritomb will need to take a specsmence Draco Meteor, or need to OHKO azelf. if there is another reason (i.e. it fit perfectly into UU) then nm, but it think...

you posted that an unboosted X-scissor only does 70% to a wall. wow it sure isn't powerful. if you want I can post all the calcs for every pokemon in UU, Rhyperior, Cressy, Regirock, Steelix, Donphan, Slowbro, Milotic and Venusaur are the only ones who avoid 2HKOs, almost all fast sweepers...

I don't really consider cressy an offensive threat that needs to be revenge killed. nor did i say pinsir was a counter to cressy. it's a revenge killer (scarfed, no clue where you got SD + LO) for things like Raikou, Porygon-Z, zam and the other offensive pokemon, since it can hit all of them SE...

if porygon-z gets a NP up, and you don't have really strong/SE priority, or at least a scarf revenge killer, GG. which is great cause you don't have to worry about milotic anymore also, scarf pinsir can revenge kill anything in the tier. It's effectively scarf-cross with SR weakness. It's got...
