Beyond the fact that I just really like Leavanny and am stoked to see it carve its name on the big stage like this, the ingenuity and resourcefulness on display in this team isn't something you hear about very often, to wit. Most people wouldn't give a base 70 SpAtk stat a second glance, but...

I CTRL-F'd Enamorus on this thread and only saw it sporting an unelaborated A viability ranking. Well, at least as far as Rain teams go, allow me to elaborate a bit! While T-Stellar gets rightfully laughed at most of the time, Contrary allows Enam-I to boost with it when it otherwise has no...

So if you want to have lots of fun with a Hisuian Zoroark on your team, you need to do two things: Step 1: Have a way to reliably spread lots of status before Zark hits the field, because Zark loves to run item Hex. This is kind of hard at the moment because Iron Moth is absolutely everywhere...

The more I glance back at this thread and see posts from those with more experience than myself, the less convinced I become that Tera is inherently problematic to the point of warranting a full ban. From the off, the fact that members of the UU council have chipped in to say outright that Tera...

So I'm going to be honest, I'm probably not going to go for reqs between my full time job and current hyperfixation on shiny hunting. Comp has taken a backseat in my life for a while on account of the latter hobby, really. But if I want to make an eventual return, I feel I should at least write...

Honestly G-Corsola benefits from Weak Armor somewhat in that the Increased Speed can allow it to whip out a last-second destiny Bond as a "taking you with me" button and makes it somewhat more able to get Strength Saps off. I don't think it's viability will be reduced per se.

Ah, and here I was about to make a full report on this issue, only to find I'm not as alone as I believed. If it may be of any help at all, I think part of the issue may be related to HTTPS/SockJS interaction, based on this error message that appeared in console when doing my own investigation...

Hey you! Yes, you! Are you tired of being blindsided by Contrary Servine? Having trouble finding that one good Pokemon that just tells it to sod off? Well let me tell you about Sap Sipper Sliggoo! Sliggoo @ Damp Rock Ability: Sap Sipper EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpA Lonely Nature -...

a meta where you can say for certain stall isnt viable? god bless

Palkia isn't in a position to be bodied by an Ice E4, and dragon dance was still meh in Gen 3. I stand by my position.

GG to Byds. Honestly, were it not for my extreme reluctance to reuse types and the express forbiddance of using holdovers, I would more readily recommend Palkia in this competition. In general, I recommend it anyway despite the need for a holdover Surf user if you don't want to repeat types. As...

Protip re: Lucario evolution - Wherever you're going to grind the levels out for it, make sure you hatch the egg there for a slight friendship boost (+1 to gain amount) on all those levels that stacks with Soothe Bell (effect is applied after the +1), since it's hatch location counts as the area...

Let's not forget that, like I mentioned, Heart Scales are among the easiest finds in the Sinnoh Underground. Almost any mining trip to the Underground should come back with at least one or two.

Next up, it's a bird! No, really! Next in line, a Water Type I Feel goes often overlooked. Completing the Fire/Water/Grass core, you already know who it is... And now for the reason this is a Diamond team... Lastly, a Pokémon that allows me to gush about a strategy that I take a...

P-Z is banned? You might want to update your code, it's still out and about.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7pokebilities-861346958 Someone mentioned MegAltaria being a rain check? Didn't even need it here. (because lol Tri Attack froze the Drizzler) http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7pokebilities-861351257 In other news, Hail is still bad.

You should be careful which Scarfers/priority you're using to deal with a Pory, though, as if you're outspeeding you are running the risk of eating Analytic boosted damage, and with how much Tri Attack can hit neutrally it's likely Adaptability boosted too. Add in the possibility of Specs and a...

I think you're far overestimating the presence of Ghost Z-Conversion on Pory-Z. Bulky Specs is just as viable a set, on account of being able to switch out without penalizing its damage output, but it remains Normal type and dies in a snap to Mach Punch Breloom thanks to Technician. If you're...

I pointed this situation out because Clefable is generally regarded as a tough special wall, especially if it has Unaware, which it always will in this meta by definition. Pory-Z just has that much power to it. It's definitely not banworthy, though, IMO. It's perfectly possible to handle it with...

Oh, honey, you don't even need Z-Conversion. Watch this. That's right, Clefable just died from 91% from a completely unboosted Base 80 Special Attack. Bulky Specs is just THAT terrifying. That being said Koko/Lucha cores are the stuff of nightmares in this meta.
