Unconventional stall I'd like to discuss stall ground next. It's not too bad an idea on paper, with Pokemon like Gliscor, Hippowdon, Gastrodon, Quagsire and even Garchomp to some extent. The problem with this is a massive weakness to ice and water, types that are very common as coverage. Still...

Mega Latias on Psychic is an underestimated threat. Sporting some incredible defensive stats of 80/120/150, combined with its excellent special attack stat, it's easy to see that this thing will give you trouble if it is allowed to set up Calm Minds, which is what the following set aims to do...

If it hasn't been asked already, why is Keldeo listed as a suicide lead on water? The only thing I can think of that would make it one is Taunt, but it lacks any other utility for a suicide lead...

Although Gravity is extremely useful for Ground teams, I don't feel that it's OP / deserves a ban - it lasts only 4 turns (factoring in the turn it takes to use), there's no item that prolongs its duration, and it's only available on Landorus - meaning that it's pressured to use it again if it...

Alright, i'll try to restart the thread with: Bug has proven itself to be an incredibly good type, being 2nd in usage stats ever since the latest metagame update. Genesect is on 76% on all bug teams and the 2nd most used on the type. It's no surprise - decent bulk and fantastic offensive stats...

First of all, it might help you to put some punctuation in your post. Secondly, even though he has a lot of sets, the grand question is how well those sets work. Also, Hippowdon is capable of putting up sand as well, and it has gone up in usage lately (given the fact that it was brought up into...

The last time I asked the room why Genesect was allowed on bug, the reason that kept popping up was so that bug had access to Ice Beam, for monos such as Dragon and Flying. That's all, though.

Zard Y needs to have a clear field - if stealth rocks are up, it has trouble coming in. Excadrill takes next to no damage from Stealth Rock. Furthermore, Zard y's speed tier is rather average. It functions as a wallbreaker, whereas Excadrill is not only a sweeper but has strength that is close...

Mega Gyarados itself is not worth a ban given the fact that it covers a rock weakness which the type needs to get over in some way. Skarmory does exist, sure, but it is not able to deal damage back to the given rock type. Let's not forget that it can only recover HP by using rest, which also...

Mega Diancie S rank on Fairy and Rock Viable moves: Moonblast Diamond Storm Earth Power Hidden Power Fire Calm Mind Rock Polish Protect Mega Diancie has everything a Pokemon should desire - powerful attacks with great STAB and great coverage. It outspeeds most of the metagame and is able to...

There's the problem that we don't want to make bans that are too complicated - banning Greninja as a whole rather than Protean is an example of this.

Reserving Mega Diancie for fairy, if it hasn't been done already.

If your main point is having a switch-in to Excadrill (and all ground moves, for that matter), then you should recommend the fully physically defensive set IMO (ground types like to carry rock moves for situations like these). Anyway, that's really the only nitpick I have with this post - well...

Swift Swim water for A rank Plain and simple - Swift Swim water has a great niche in the metagame. Doubled speed, double the power on water type attacks - few Pokemon are capable of switching into any moves that a swift swim team uses. It is fairly straightforward - however, it does have some...
