Well Sharpedo wrecks it, but otherwise maybe.

Are we going to have suspect tests for this tier?
Eventually, once UU settles down a bit. I think there is still some policy stuff that needs to pass first, but I would guess it will happen eventually.
The only Fire type I've been using in this tier has been adament Entei with flare Bltiz and Extreme Speed, Flame charge takes care of his speed.
Ive contructed a team for RU
Gorebyss (SmashPass)
Alakazam/Honchkrow(Recievers)
Weezing/Umbreon(Defensive Core)
Galvantula(Scarfed kiler)
This Tier is my favorite so far and I dont find Cress a threat at all for my team lol.

Crustle can do much more than just setup rocks and spikes. He gets Shell Smash and has two awesome STAB types for the tier of RU. He can actually destroy most of the RU metagame, in theory, with the combination of Shell Smash and Sturdy.
alakazam too, i wonder what will happen when we get magic guard alakazam.
pika's in here!
LB Pika is deadly with +6/+6 and a sub passed. No, this is not Shell Smash - this is another Poke's doing, and to top it off it even looks similar to pika (and it's in here too!)... only worry is snover, just fire an HP fire or other fire attack at it, and the BP'er carries leftovers anyway.
Imagine a +6/+6 sub Pika in ubers, let alone here.

Haha. What isn't deadly with +6/+6 and a sub passed?
I'm using Agility/NP PoryZ. Working alright.

Now take your Pikachu, substitute it for, say, Caterpie, and we have the same results won't we?
it's damn good. I use:
Vigoroth @eviolite
Jolly
252 spe / 152 HP / 104 Spdef
- Bulk Up
- Return
- Earthquake / Shadow Claw
- Slack off
I don't know. It's kind of random, I guess, but it can take hits like a champ and is a good quick tank. EV's are pretty much random, but I like to bulk up a few times and take hits better rather than attacking right away with this guy.
wait... galvantula is in this tier? sweet! i think i'll change up my team. hail isn't all that great. unless i'm doin it wrong.
Accelgor
Snover
Rotom-F
Glaceon
Slowking
Electivire [vital spirit and scarf]
not doing so great so i think i'll make up my own team.

how in the world could a Volbeat survive 3 turns to pass 2 tail glows?
how in the world could it even survive 2 turns for the pass?
I severly doubt it would even be able to do either situation well at all, especially since its defenses are only: 65/55/75
I also noticed that it doesn't appear to have Sleep Powder at all, which makes Venomoth better. Why go with a +6 boost to SpAtk (2 tail glows) when you can go with +4spatk/+4spdef/+4speed boost all at once (2 quiver dances)?
Volbeat gets Prankster in the Dream World <,<
Quiver Dance only boosts Sp.A, Sp.D, and Speed by +1, not +2, so Yanmega could go for a safe +3 Sp.Attack or even +6, or +2/+2/+2.
