Body Slam's 50% chance to paralyze is the only one I could see having some use, maybe on some kind of non-boosting bulky offensive set I guess? 252HP/252Atk, Fake Out/Body Slam/Knock Off/Earthquake? Might be worth a try, but Fake Out isn't that good and I can't really see a good reason to run...

Ghosts actually aren't much of a problem since they get destroyed by Knock Off on the switch, and you can just throw those around since nothing likes losing its item. It may not be as debilitating as for her sweeping set, but even Support Kang still dislikes getting burned because burn damage...

I want to echo Aldaron's post, because right now it looks like Support Kangaskhan is her most dangerous set. PuP makes her one of the best sweepers in the metagame if not the best, but like all popular sweepers her efficiency is mitigated by the fact everyone prepares against her. However, when...

Carrying counters to what your team is weak to is normal teambuilding, but that's not what I'm talking about. Gengar is not supposed to counter or check these Pokémon, so it's not even a big problem if he doesn't have a reliable way to switch in. What he does provide is a guaranteed way to...

Reyscarface's list isn't even accurate, it's much worse than that because he forgot HP Ice, which is a fantastic option. Of course Gengar can't run every move, but when your Shadow Ball is pretty much only resisted by TTar, it's easy to make a moveset that can snipe every single Pokémon that...

No, it's better than that. Super Luck, High-Crit Rate Move and Scope Lens give +1 each, Focus Energy gives +2, and you only need +3 to get a 100% crit rate. Basically, Focus Energy gives you 50% crit and any kind of crit boosting on top of that gives you guaranteed crit. The only competitively...

Not worth it on most Pokémon, probably worth using on Sniper Kingdra. One turn of set-up gives it a 2.25x time (87% as strong as a +2 Life Orb) with no recoil and the ability to spam Draco Meteor. Clean OHKO on anything less specially bulky than CroCune (or for Dragon resists, 252/0 Jirachi)...

Perish Song Gengar is amazing, but Hypnosis isn't the best option, Shadow Ball/Perish Song/Protect/Substitute is much more reliable. If you come in something you can force out as you MegaEvolve, anything that comes in and doesn't outspeed is dead while you only take 25% damage, including (and...

With permanent weather gone Synthesis is now a viable option, and it's much superior to Rest+NC in my opinion. Even when your opponent has a Tyranitar sandstorm will only be up a fraction of the time, and definitely much less often overall than you lose momentum from using Rest.

On any kind of Pokemon, unless you absolutely need to survive one particular attack to check one particular pokemon, the higher your SpDef is, the worse Assault Vest becomes compared to Leftovers. The same Snorlax would take 15% damage without an Assault Vest, which amounts to 9% after Lefties...

That's the first time I hear about this. When was it established?

The choice isn't that clear cut for Mega Lucario. They have exactly the same power, and Bullet Punch beats Mega Gengar while Extremespeed beats Talonflame, so it's a heavily team-dependent choice.

That might be because the OP is a bit misleading, but Gen 6 is actually just like Black and White: LVL 100 battles are still possible, it's just less convenient than playing LVL50 on Wifi because you have to level your pokemons yourself. The one and only difference between this gen and the last...

Wasting some time levelling pokemons to 100 might only happen very rarely in practice, but it's still incomparably more realistic than an infinite supply of perfect Wish Chansey. The simulator metagame is and will stay different from the legit wifi metagame because there are far worse effort and...

Could you please give us the stats of a previous gens pokemon during a wifi battle? That will tell us whether the IVs are maxed or not. We don't know Fennekin's BST yet to make any accurate calculation, and IV maxing might only happen in wifi (if it happens at all, that is, which isn't that likely).

Rotom-H is awesome right now, walling pretty much every special attacker that isn't Psychic, Dragon or Ghost type, spreading status, shutting down Scizor and singlehandedly destroying Sun teams. With SR setting being one less mandatory role, you get more flexibility in teambuilding, and with the...

Focus Blast does no more damage than Itemless Acrobatics. 252/252 Impish Gliscor takes 64% min from Head Smash, it's not a counter. Landorus is outsped by OHKOed by Head Smash even without a Rock Gem, so it's not a concern. Anyway, if you start thinking in terms of coverage, then this set...

What about Yawn, as long as you're not using a sleep inducer? Roar could put you in put trouble if another set-up sweeper is brought in, and even if it doesn't, it still gives your opponent one whole free turn. On the contrary, Yawn is basically forcing a double switch and resets the odds...

Hi, I didn't think anyone would be interested in gender stats so it's not possible right now, but I'll be sure to include gender in the next server update.
