Heliolisk does not get Recover, Rapid Spin or Avalanche as Egg Moves. Tested by breeding Heliolisk with a Bergmite knowing the three moves, as both are in the Monster Egg Group.

Munchlax is definitely going to be one of the more controversial drops this month. He was almost unanimously regarded as one of the worst Pokemon in his former tier, and for quite a few reasons. Despite Munchlax's absurd special bulk with Eviolite, its Defense was pitiable, it didn't have...

Yeah, this looks really fun and has quite a bit of potential. The prospect of beating the shit out of an opponent with something like CB Kakuna is too hilarious to pass up. The only issue I really see with this is balance. Caterpie and the rest of the horrible early-game Bug types are still as...

As opposed to automatic weather (via Drizzle, Sandstream, etc) having a set amount of longevity similar to manual weather, how about nerfing them so that their effects disappear upon switch-out or K.O? This actually makes a lot more sense flavor-wise if we can recall back to Gen 3, wherein the...

Sun and Rain are both very viable in the tier when provided with the correct support. In addition to the majority of the OP's list, SpDef Audino is among one of the best weather setters in the tier: with access to both Sunny Day and Rain Dance in tandem with its superb bulk and Regenerator...

No mention of any Ed Banger signees yet? The Ed Banger collective is one of the most successful French House/Electronica labels in the world: and it's not a surprise as to why, all of their stuff is spectacular. If you like Justice and Daft Punk, you'll like the following: SebastiAn: Kindercut...

Death Grips are fucking great, they bring a lot of techno/dance influences into their music that a lot of other Hip-Hop artists seem to overlook. They integrate it almost seamlessly into songs like Punk Weight and Hacker, which are two of my favorites from Money Store. Quasimoto, Earl...

I strongly agree with FLCL regarding Misdreavus. Its bulk with Eviolite works great in conjunction with its typing, and it counters a formidable threat in Sawk: a Pokemon who has been running rampant throughout the meta for quite some time now. I think I'd like to point out that a very (very)...

While Sealeo is not *completely* outclassed by Walrein due to its superior statistical bulk with Eviolite, the lack of Leftovers hurts it severely. It is also huge setup fodder for Pokemon such as Musharna, Ludicolo, Samurott, Carracosta, Gorebyss, Gurdurr, SD Lickilicky, Articuno, Arbok...

Upon Theorymonning some more about Unown, it seems as thought it could work perfectly on a passive weather team. Its high speed paired with its Rain or Sun-boosted STABs coming from 534 SpAtk (assuming Modest) has the potential to deal some serious damage to neutral targets. Dragon Unown...

What's even less of an argument is your stating that Game Freak wouldn't make a majority of these changes, without even providing evidence that would lead you to think that. GenNEXT's rules mention that changes are made based on what GF could PLAUSIBLY do to the game's mechanics; changing the...

I'd argue that this is a change Game Freak would be unlikely to make. Charizard is no longer relevant in the main series games due to his status as a 1st Gen starter, and the fact the he has only been officially obtainable through trading and events doesn't help his case: it's not likely that GF...

Oh, I was referring to the fact that Life Orb had been set to behave as normal recoil (As in taking 1/3 of damage dealt as recoil damage), although I think I misinterpreted this as it seems as thought it's still just standard LO recoil. Anyway I'm going to attempt to build a team for this (and...

I'm absolutely in love with the concept of this mod. You've managed to fix some major aspects of standard play while keeping flavor and base stats intact, which is an impressive feat as far as metagame mods go. I'd be more than interested in playing this if it were to become an...

Quagsire has been RU for quite some time now, so I think Sucker Punch remains the most useful choice. Arbok has the potential to do some major damage if it's given an opportunity to boost. I've used it to much success in past metas, being able to net at least one boost on Pokemon such as...

I've actually been using Gothorita in RU to take the piss out of Sandslash users. The idea is to Trick your victim a Choice Scarf, CM up to +6 and Trick back the Scarf. I've gotten more than a few clueless wins over there, but I still think it would be viable against defensive/balanced teams...

I would disagree with the Combusken statement. The standard Fire Blast/Focus Blast/LOrb set is extremely useful in the offensive metagame as a late game sweeper, as it completely mutilates things that don't resist it; and with a superb STAB coverage those resists are only limited to a small...

252SpAtk Choice Specs Serperior (+SAtk) Leaf Storm vs 4HP/0SpDef Swellow (Neutral): 85% - 101% (225 - 266 HP). Guaranteed 2HKO. 9% chance to OHKO. 252SpAtk Choice Specs +2 Serperior (+SAtk) Leaf Storm vs 4HP/0SpDef Swellow (Neutral): 150% - 177% (395 - 465 HP). Guaranteed OHKO. 252SpAtk...

The post itself wasn't supposed to be an actual site-level analysis, I find it more akin to me just wanting to express how well Servine could fit into the metagame. Serperior is definitely going to be a more controversial topic in the future, but I suppose it'll be kind of funny seeing how...
