With threats like Talonflame, Heatran, and Infernape all prevalant in this metagame, you would think that Genesect would have a hard time doing its job. I don't think its going to pass a suspect test anytime soon. However, this means that Dugtrio with arena trap, makes an excellent teammate...

Actually i think that your Talonflame needs to sacrifice a little HP speed just to out speed jolly Excadrill, thats the only thing you need to it with Flare Blitz that you can't already out speed and kill, or kill with a priority Brave Bird. So 184hp /252 attack/ 60 speed/ 4 def works with Adamant.

No ones going to try to hit a Gchomp with a direct physical move anyways, i say that sand veil is better overall in the case of VGC's. Lets you occasionally dodge things that would normally kill letting you score a kill on your opponent possibly

Well, I might as Well post some HUGE threats here. MegaCharizard, MegaAbomasnow, Excadrill, MegaGarchomp, Diggersby, These are all things to watch out for, along with Trickroom+MegaAmpharos and Tailwind Talonflame. It's Going to certainly be interesting.

Maybe it's a personal thing, but i just don 't feel like Delphox is an optimal choice. Possibly Talonflame or Bulky Arcanine would be a better choice? Talonflame @ Leftovers/LO Adamant 252 Attk/68 Speed/184 HP -Bulk Up/Swords Dance -Roost/Will-o-Wisp -Brave Bird -Flare Blitz Gives you an easy...

MegaScizor do you reccomend that to everyone? i feel like ive seen you do this 4 or 5 times already XD not a bad thing, it's just funny!

My point was mainly that even when you decide you need to check it, its still not going down with doing massive damage to the opposing team. Yes Scizor checks it, Focus blast is too common for us to consider it not having it. GegaMengar will do its job (when played properly) No matter what your...

Well, whats gonna pursuit trap it, TTAR? It's not taking a focus blast, especially not 2 if gengars behind a sub. Scizor maybe. While you are right about it not beating everything, It beats what it needs to beat, and it beats it without letting your opponent prevent this beating. just to show...

Hmm...Ampharos is begging for me to have a set for it. Ampharos@Ampharosite Static-->Mold Breaker 252HP/252SP.A/4 Spe Modest -Thunder Wave -Heal Bell/Focus Blast -Dragon Pulse -Thunderbolt/Volt Switch Although it sounds weird to make your mega as a utility pivot of some sort, Ampharos does a...

Hm... my genuine opinion is that it should be banned. There is no real counter to that perish trap set. Wobbuffet in 4th gen was banned for a similiar reason, being able to trap and eliminate a key threat with little to no effort. All it needs to do is take out a key pokemon. Sub+protect already...

Well i was just talking in terms of OU utility. But your right

I feel like the only reason Rotom-W is superior is The more "reliable" stab, and Rocks. Hydro Pump can be spammed while overheat cannot. And Rotom-H is weak to rocks, which can be solved with a spinner. That being said Starmie/excadrill actually makes a great partner to it, Rotom-H can deal with...

Well then...I'll just go ahead and ignore the shit storm of Baton Pass arguments and such.... To see if we can get this back on track. Now i don't know if this was mentioned before (and i usually start my posts with this) But whatever form of Gardevoir you use, She LOVES sticky webs. The Sticky...

Don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but Banded Azumarill has the power to OHKO Most Dragonite through multiscale W/ Play Rough. That being said, Azumarill has to be the top OU fairy threat in the game. Togekiss is up there with its great bulk, Great Movepool and ability to 2hko most pokes...

I feel as if Smeargle almost begs for magic coat as an option over taunt. Once your opponent sees a smeargle, they are going to automatically lead with an Anti- lead (Sash Greninja w/Taunt and Defog Crobat)/magic bouncer. There is nothing Smeargle can do about Magic Bouncers, however most...

Banning a specific ability because of one pokemon makes no sense, its why they scrapped Blaziken all together and not speed boost. i understand ability combinations (Swift Swim +Drizzle) but banning a specific ability creates exceptions in the rule book which gets complex after a while and...

Alright fair enough. Although, Roserade can get rid of Skarm and Exca with HP fire. But Nidoqueen is much more defensively played, therefore earning it merit as a toxic spiker. this is what i understand, and it seems fair enough to conclude. But Nidoqueen seems like a middleground between...

Roserade is a much better toxic spikes absorber and layer, although its move pool isnt as wide as nidoqueen, it has sleep powder. so my question is, Does its ability separate it from other toxic spikers? Because i dont see its niche as all toxic spikers can absorb toxic spikes.

So am i the only one who thinks Conkeldurr is ridiculously overpowered? It doesnt have a solid counter and you have to focus all your attention on it until its out, which could leave you out a pokemon or two, and if it sets up its annoying to get rid of, sometimes it sweeps teams because its...

But it still gives a suprise factor to the opponent and yea essentially to giratinas shadow sneak and Groudons EQ. and psystrike shouldnt be its only option, maybe its the best option but its still more versatile than that
