One possible explanation: Xerneas and Yveltal are actually a little under-leveled compared to the player's team at that point, assuming exp-share. Thus they are actually overshadowed by a random pokemon on a reasonability well-built team. Xerneas also have poor typing against 2 of the E4 and the...

Remember in X and Y, Korrina gives you a Lucario with its mega-stone, and how that reduced the rest of the game to "click close combat => watch things die"? Now imagine what it would be if the Lucario is 10 lvl about the rest of the team, have a boosted exp gain, and comes with an end-game...

S-tier without a question. You can reset for nature easily. It comes with max EV (and a good spread even). The moveset is amazing, meaning that it's pretty easy to transform in-game because you have a lot of tools to exploit the AI and secure the first kill. You can only use it starting in the...

Comments on a few nominations without comments: 1) Espeon: Espeon is strong but Physic is not a great type. You really want to evolve Eevee to Espeon before lvl 20 so that you can learn Psybeam, otherwise you are stuck with Confusion as your only STAB move until Ula'Ula. However, getting 220...

I mean, if Solgaleo or Lunala are available any time earlier, then they would be at the same level of monstrosity as Ash-Greninja. If we were ranking Ash-Greninja, it would easily be S-rank given how strong it is, despite being available only for the second half of the game. Instead, they...

By my count, there are 35 major story battles total in game (counting pushovers like Faba), so that's 1/5 of that total. This last 1/5 is not easy, and by this point it is very likely that some of pokemons that you used to beat the game so far (assume efficient play-through) are no longer able...

Both of them have really good attack and special attack, are bulky, have decent speed, and have access to a wide spectrum of offensive moves, and the kitchen sink of defensive moves: Morning Sun/Moonlight, Cosmic Power, Work Up/Calm Mind, dual Screens, etc. So basically by E4, if there is any...

Should we move Mimikyu up to A? I am curious to hear what you guys think. It has a low encounter rate and an annoying catch rate. That said, it's effectiveness doesn't depend much on it's nature, so you can do fine by just catching one. Once you have one it is pretty much the most...

You get it pretty early, and Crobat is good enough for late game. Also leech life is now a power 80 move so you can run Leech Life + Cross Poison + Fly/Toxic + Coverage/U-Turn/Protect. Edit: Early game zubat might be a dead weight, but suppose you evolve it to a crobat at level 23-24, you get...

Good question. Also, note that there are, IMO, two ways to play with Zygarde 50%. 1) One is to try to collect as many cells as possible before the truck, and thus getting a Zygarde 50% around Po Town. This will involve backtracking to Melemele Island, but not Akala Island (need to check this)...

I definitively got over 50 before E5. In fact I think I reached 50 shortly after arriving on Poni Island. Note that this is a play-through with what I believe to be a normal amount of backtracking: I only backtracked to pick up rare battle items and TMs. To do a quick math, there are 14 cells +...

About Zygarde 10%: I have found Extreme Speed to be not quite useful in-game. It has really low pp and this pokemon outspeed most of the game anyway. I would run instead something like Rock Slide + Thousand Arrow + DDance + Break Bricks, with Rock Slide and Break Bricks used to take care of the...

Had a pretty good time with this team. Here are some of my movements + comments on individual pokemon. The suicide squad: I usually use these pokemon to take down random critters and weak trainers. Between the three of them they can hit most of the pokedex super-effectively. Against tougher...
