@NMx13 Juu tosi on. But I've gone back into lurking while trying to get hang of the new gen : / @D.a.v.E Thank you. I will appreciate that, thou I tend to deal with a lot of things by just eating oranges : P

Also Toxic Spikes lose no effinency if the opponet has a Natural Cure mon - just apply what Plasphermy1 said about Heal Bell. Unless the opposition has a way to remove Toxic Spikes before they send NC mon back in the ability only makes sure their Blissey/Starmie/etc. gets badly poisoned if...

Why does first set say: 4 HP EVs and then drops off HP IVs to even them? Just put those 4 to either Defence stat.

Dropping to 240 gives 417 max HP for Leftovers number.

The sole benefit is that you need to use less EVs, which in turn can be spent on defences, making one Hp count for more. I.E Shuckle recovers 100 hp vs. Wailord recovers 100 hp.

http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3060557&postcount=1090 Side change is only for doubles and triples. Maybe mention that? *has not heard if double/triple analyses are actually going to be put on the site* Or maybe remove, if only single analyses are still being made.

Actually both Lanturn and the newly water-type Rotom-W (If I remember right) also do resist Water+Flyding.

I've heard SB2 will be able to implement the EV restrictions of Arceus. Is this true?

And Caterpie is broken because every sweeper needs to have a "what do I do not to get walled by Caterpe" plan to be useful. Pokemon is as good as its best set, and if that set has a way to get past Blissey -it has a way to get past Blissey. Coverage moves are used as a plan to get past some...

Some direct quotes from the analysis of Porygon-Z: About SubPlot set: "Porygon-Z is a fearsome special attacker, and as such, encourages switches to dedicated special walls. Using this free turn, you have two options. If your opponent has a Blissey, you should Nasty Plot first. This will lead...

A wise person once said: "As perfection can not be reached, trying to archieve perfection is not important. What is important, however, are the things we do to reach perfection." Thist to completely agree with "ban only broken mons". Also, about support charestic. For example, we have a...

Ok, Banette outspeeds. My bad, didn't do my research. But still, who's gonna attack Banette with Groudon twice over? Anybody ever heard of Uber Banette lead not carrying Destiny Bond? Expecially, because you have sash your opponet will see that you are faster. Only reason I can think for ramming...

What differentiates that Banette set from the standard Trick Room lead -set? You get no Trick Room? Well, if you just WANT to have BAnette lead on non-TR team, sure, but why use Kingdra outside rain? HP Fire: Protect on the other set can be dismissed, if you really hate Forretress/Scizor that...

And in case of overprediction? Running to same people time after time (no need to talk about how much this happens in ubers) creates a mindgame of KO Arceus/Get Stealth Rock down for you opponet. All these actions assumed after Deo-A using Superpower and Arc using X-Scizzor. If they...

@ Ghosts and levitators: Propably GF nerfs the multi-hit moves in triples (as they did in doubles) Maybe something like 50% of original power? Already the spreading of power with two 75% hits tends to be inefficent, as KOs aren't as easy to accomplish. What's better, having one 0% opp and one at...

I can for sure... expecially with those defences. But for something worth saying... Why is Rapid Spin not but mentioned in Hitmonlee's analysis? Top does outclass it as a spinner to some extent, but suprise value should make up for it. Most of the usual Lee counters are not Ghost-types who -...

At least Charmander gets expectional neutral coverage: Fire+Dragon hits everything bar Heatran least neutrally. I presume your Charmanders haven't been running to a lot of Heatrans lately, have they? And yes, I DO realize this is about little cup. :P

Trace is a R/S ability. Did you mean Download Pory can't get Tri Attack?

Limbo is tier for mons whose tiering is yet to be determined. Now that D/P has been out for ages it is *suprisingly* empty, but when B/W comes out a lot of things will end up there... but hopefully not for long. @ NU-testing: Neverneverused? Things like this shouldn't be abanoned just because...

Actually, also by Slowking and Slowbro itself, Sharpedo (which Surf damages anyways), Crawdaunt (same as Sharpedo), Exeggutor, Cacturne (Surf still hurts) and Shiftry (repeated Surfs hurt?) on top of Shedinja.
