Wing attack does have higher pp and they have the same base power so maybe that
Is there a listing of the mons that got unranked by the VR revamp?
use wing attack until you find yourself losing to doughboy sand
look at the last vr and check out what is missing in the new one.
Make sure you are looking at ou's not uu's http://www.smogon.com/dex/xy/pokemon/aerodactyl/ou/
For some reason, I'm completely incapable of remembering where to find the most recent usage stats. Anyone got a link for me? Thanks.

whats the scoop on specs victini
use another set, band and ebelt are way better.
AraEDIT: Specs Tini is the highest-ranked set on the Sets Viability Thread, so I don't think this is sound advice.

Bludz has been seriously recommending it, wouldn't mind hearing what it actually accomplishes, I would have thought Band + Ebelt were better options
I don't understand what the point in running specs tini is when banded v create is so strong and ebelt actually lets you switch moves when chomps and landots try switching into you, but if someone could explain the merits of specs tini is over other sets, than that would be really nice.
SpecsTini is the best set atm because literally noone is prepared for it. All of Victini's primary switch-ins are things that are fat enough physically to eat a V-create and outpace on the following turn, and the ability to nail them on the special side with Victory Star Blue Flares, Focus Blasts, Thunders and Glaciates makes it just that much more threatening. Also the fact that its not entirely Tar bait like physical sets are due to Focus Blast is helpful in the current meta given that Tyranitar is a pretty consistent switch-in to it.
yeah but why not use ebelt over that so that you don't have to rely on prediction to kill shit like chomp and lando.

Told bludz victini should be B- or not lower than C+ cause of the set and he sees me use it a lot. That is where he got it from. Expert belt necessitates every move to be super effective and life orb wears you down on a mon that is weak to every hazard and pursuit. Band has uses to but I think its easier to play around / takes advantage of. Victini is a mon that supports a wincon anyways.
Again, in which teams do you run CM manaphy > suicune exactly?
teams where manphys higher speed tier and access to rain dance + hydration supplements the team. For example tornt + mana where rain supplements hurricane while still having a defensive water who can heal up more quickly and maintain offensive pressure. Herachriss answer is kind of vague CM mana is a bulky water win con but applies more offensive utility while suicune larger defensive traits gives it more of a defensive presence. Its the way the two play out where you would normally justify one over the other. Does that explain it?
iirc, Thundy's been known as a good Hera partner for a while. Maybe you could even run Sludge Wave to lure Clefable if you wanted.
Sitru Berry might be better in the lower ladder because players usually leave their pokemon in which means Klefki will be getting hit by its checks/counters. But mid-top ladder lefties is better. Klefki is a good amount better with Play Rough
