Glad to see that Weakness Policy Groudon actually worked for someone. Every time I used it they would switch their Ogres out of my Groudon.

Sorry I haven't gotten my match done yet. I had scheduled it for Monday but then descended into a busy second week of college. I'll be on most of the day Saturday and Sunday so will get in contact with Donkey.

Unrelenting = Anachronism just so we are clear confirmed and ready to kick some Donkey ass

Just to be clear, having known most of these guys for the better part of 5 years I have immense respect for the mods in the Ubers subforum and believe that they have excellent general knowledge about the Uber tier. HOWEVER, half of the current Ubers mods have played little to no XY Ubers, and...

I am Unrelenting and I definitely played pretty loosely at the end of that battle. Throughout the entire beginning of the game I was scouting out your sets and weakening your Xerneas checks and planned to set up Xerneas on a Resting Palkia. I definitely should have gone to Giratina right away...

That game was pretty interesting and I don't want to sound mean but I wouldn't say you were being outplayed. Rather, you were playing horribly. You basically sacrificed your Giratina for no real reason and then attempted an incredibly premature Xerneas sweep despite the obvious Xerneas counter...

I think that the requirements for S-rank are being said somewhat incorrectly interpreted. I think too much emphasis is being placed on the need to have multiple viable sets that are either offensive or defensive. I think that the point the criteria is trying to make is that the poke should have...

S Arceus-Normal - This pokemon is so good at what it does. It is arguably the best end-game sweeper in Ubers. It basically has only minor variations (Lum Berry, Recover, EV spreads) on a single set, but that set is very difficult to stop effectively due to its sheer bulk and power, and those...

I think that Arceus-Electric is quite underrated in the current metagame. In the rain it is about as viable as Arceus Rock as a Ho-oh check (although it can't OHKO as Rockeus often can), and the lack of Ferrothorn and Chansey/Blissey in the metagame has made +1 BoltBeam pretty difficult to...

Definitely an amazing match, Piexplode. Hard-fought on both sides. I probably pulled the trigger a little early but I didn't think I could continue predicting at that level for much longer haha. Live and learn I guess. The match highlights the utility of some uncommon sets and was full of mind...

http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/pokebankubersbeta-59488100 Pretty awesome game against Sweep. Got some early hax but a hard fought game on both sides despite the hax.

Mega Gengar can also run Thunder or Dazzling Gleam as coverage options in place of Disable. Gleam is a bit more powerful than Shadow Ball when super effective (has a chance of 1-shotting Palkia) and Thunder is good against Kyogre (doesn't kill even offensive variants though) and has a good...

Thanks for the clarification Fireburn. I will sleep better tonight knowing I don't have to worry about Shadow Tag Chandelure in Ubers. Ignore all of the points in my last post about Chandy I guess. Moving on... More interesting new mons that I missed: Mega Lucario: I mentioned this one a bit...

Here's a roundup of some of the changes we can expect from this gen. New: Assault Vest - There are a lot of potentially great users of Assault Vest in the tier. Although losing status, hazard, recovery, and setup moves is a huge tradeoff, there are many that would rather have the defensive...

Unfortunately I will have to be scaling back the amount of time I spend on Smogon. I have been developing a game based on the book "Brave New World" with Aura Guardian for about half a year now and planned on hosting it with him in the near future, however I will be unable to be a good host. I...

Well, I guess this is the end of the road. I had a great time my West bros, I am just sad that I never got to play a match. Congrats to Oceania for their 3-peat. Scofield: Thanks a lot for including me in your roster this year and for bringing together a team at the last minute. Your perfect...

Gyarados @ Leftovers ~ Reversal ~ Retribution ~ Revenge ~ Payback

I would pretend that was a great match but Stallion really had no answer to the first mon Loven sent out. Team matchup strikes again, but it is pretty sloppy of Stallion to have a team so ill-equipped for a slight variation on a common threat.

I hate to burst your bubble here, but I have to agree with Tobes and Theorymon here. There are so many better pokemon to use than Charizard. The rest of the team is pretty silly too. It is entirely predicated upon stopping SR with a Xatu. Furthermore: sure, there is nothing that can do EXACTLY...
