    Metagame Metagame Discussion Thread v2

    Completely agree. People overlook Duggy for so many reasons - one question, however. Does this mean that the fully physical Dugtrio that was once a thing is now only in the past? Such as Banded, Sash/Reversal?

    See, I honestly LOVE Porygon-Z. Versatile moveset, great base SpA... you can really do anything with it. There are MANY sets well known to this Mon, but I'm experimenting with this one: Porygon-Z @ Normalium Z Ability: Adaptability/Download EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD Modest/Timid Nature IVs...

    SM UU Beta (Mewnium Z, Staraptor, Victini banned)

    While, as said, Rocky Helmet does not activate with the Spiky Shield up, Rocky Helmet + Iron Barbs provides quite a bit of coverage, so no matter what happens, the opponent is afraid to use a contact move, such as Knock Off, Drain Punch, Zen Headbutt, etc. So, no matter what, you still get some...

    SM UU Beta (Mewnium Z, Staraptor, Victini banned)

    I'm seeing an opening for Pikachu: Gen 7 edition. Togedemaru is pretty nice. Give that lil' ball this set: Togedemaru @ Rocky Helmet Ability: Iron Barbs EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Fake Out - Nuzzle - Spiky Shield - Zing Zap And you'll have a fast and yet still...

    Yeah, Zygarde-P is going to be a HUGE part of SM Ubers. As you said it can tank a +4 Adamant Precipice Blades (Not to mention STAB). It can block T-Waves, take advantage of a S-Rock turn to set-up, or use that S-Rock turn to inflict huge damage. Zygarde-P, however, does need the right...

    ORAS UU Viability Ranking Thread V6

    Still pushing for Durant to move up from B-. Durant is a speedy option for an easy sweep in certain team setups. Durant's Hustle ability plus Hone Claws (+1 Acc.) can make it an extremely strong physical sweeper with access to many moves that take out some of UU's bigger threats. It gets access...

    UU Simple Questions Thread

    Am I the only one who doesn't approve of Sableye's move down to RU? In the tier it possesses the invaluable ability to bounce back taunts, torments, and hazards (Prankster Magic Coat, though less useful than Espeon'a Magic Bounce) plus the ability to inflict any status effect even before death...

    Lower Tiers RU Viability Rankings Thread

    I'd like to request a move for Gallade, from B to B+. Gallade's viability within the tier is overlooked, being able to run a variety of different sets including scarf/band with trick, and either three physical moves or SD + two moves from his extensive movepool including Close Combat, Zen...

    Lower Tiers PU Viability Rankings

    I'd like to nominate Armaldo to go from B- to B+. While Armaldo is not a very well known Pokémon within the tier and its speed is not at the top of the tier by far, it makes up for it with its high attack and defense, giving it the capability to be run with a variety of different sets. 1...

    Lower Tiers ORAS NU Viability Rankings

    Couldn't agree more, Pard's place in NU is underrated with it being able to run a variety of different sets with Prankster, especially Copycat, Encore, or Weather.

    Lower Tiers ORAS NU Viability Rankings

    Electivire: B- => B+ Electivire is a very underrated Pokemon in the NU metagame, possessing a variety of traits that make it a very powerful and versatile member of any team. Electivire is usually run as a sweeper, but as a sweeper, it can be run with many different sets like Life Orb, Expert...

    Lower Tiers LC Viability Rankings 2.0

    I'd also like to request a move for Zorua up to B rank. It's similarity to its BL2 evolution Zoroark provides it many different set options in the LC metagame including physical and special sets alike. I've run it with Life Orb/Timid and Life Orb/Jolly and both ways it has provided a sweeper...

    Lower Tiers LC Viability Rankings 2.0

    If anyone's going to do anything to any other Mons in LC, please move Nosepass up to B- rank at the very least. Nosepass is a very overlooked Mon in the tier with one huge use, and that's hazard setup. However, it also has many other capabilities. T-Wave/Rock Slide/S-Rock/Explosion Nosepass...

    ORAS UU Viability Ranking Thread V6

    I'd like to nominate Durant to B Rank. I know it has its huge weakness to fire, but there are many Mons in the UU Metagame who can absorb fire attacks well, such as Entei, Arcanine, Chandelure, M-Blastoise, and even Cresselia if you can run the right setup. Durant is a very versatile Mon in that...

    Honestly I feel that if you can get the setup off then this thing could be really good. You could definitely run Trick Room on it for the most effective set in terms of setup and/or attacking, and running Scald and Psyshock can cover both defensively bulky and specially bulky Mons. And even if...
