alexwolf answered the near-same question a few pages back: Hyper Offense doesn't really check or counter things, and isn't supposed to most of the time. It's generally just "set up hazards, wallbreak/lure the things you need down, and sweep with your sweeper". Although if you really want a azu...

Wait, so, I didn't quite get that. "during the period with the current changes". Does that mean won against three players last period? Like in the testing stage? If so, wouldn't that be inapplicable this round, then?

You can find Ampharos's analysis here. The Agility set is the first one listed. From the Team Options paragraph: Also, the recommended set is Agility / Thunder(bolt) / Dragon Pulse / Focus Blast with max SpA and Speed with a Modest nature. Thunder if you're using it on a rain team, Thunderbolt...

Because people kept making stupid posts about them, mainly. edit: But yeah also what the guy below me said. florges is 1000% outclassed by Sylveon Donphan is 100% outclassed by Excadrill (even defensively, av exca is possible) Helioisk and Darmanitan because most everyone agreed on a rank...

1. The OU council decides something is potentially either broken or uncompetitive 2. They make a suspect thread and people talk about it 2.5/3. They make a suspect ladder with the Pokemon banned on it, to see if the metagame with it gone is better or worse than it is previously and people ladder...

Genesect was most definitely banned for its ability; without Download it's hardly good tbh. Pokemon that really like their abilities won't be nearly as good; Dragonite, Azu, Espeon, Scolipede, Tyranitar, Greninja, etc. will be a ton worse. Things that don't really need their abilities like...

Goodra is viable, albeit barely. Physical Venusaur is a thing. Besides, you said only user, not "only good user".

Testing on Showdown!, I got several hits in a row on Wonder Skin Sigilyph/Skitty with No Guard Machamp - [1 2] (idk if the first test is valid since it was already poisened) so either I have insane luck or No Guard overrides Wonder Skin (on Showdown!, at least). versus using Guts Machamp instead...

I don't know whether this is a bug or not, since I couldn't find it on this page [']http://veekun.com/dex/moves/psycho shift], but Psycho Shift (a Psychic move) effected Mandibuzz (a Dark type). At first I assumed it was supposed to happen, since it didn't seem like something that would be easy...

Well obviously we would need to buff really bad mons more than already good ones to make sure they're (almost) on par with them. Ledian for example obviously needs an extremely large buff to be worth using. On the other hand, things like Dragonite or Kingdra only need slight buffs.

I doubt it'd be very viable even after that tbh. Offenses the level of Diance, and not even the highest speed (m-manectric, m-aero, m-zam, scarf stuff, sand rush exca). Add on terrible defenses and not even that good of coverage (Grass is a pretty bad offensive type imo), and you don't exactly...

Shuckle! [QC 0/2] BST: 40 (+20) / 10 / 230 / 10 / 230 / 5 Abilities: No change Movepool: +Taunt Really needs the extra bulk to keep up with all the higher-powered stuff in this meta. Taunt plus Sticky Web makes it worth using over other SR leads like Garchomp and Landorus. Although it's really...

Reserving Shuckle, if that's okay.

Missed the SpDef increase, whoops. Yeah I think that ice beam would probably be good since Keldeo is already good but it's a nice buff for the perfect acc. (Icy has 95 if I recall correctly) and extra little power in case of bulky Latias or something.

Well Adrian just did 2 and he's QC so I assume he knows what he's doing. edit: Monte has already done one and has one in reserve as well. So, yes. Unrelated edit 1: By the way QC, I need checks/rejects on Dragonite. Monte Cristo Adrian Marin Peef Rimgar Unrelated edit 2: Monte Cristo, you...

Guys, wasn't the <lvl 100 ban because of the resulting ridiculous speed creep?: Although FEAR definitely had something to do with it: that's not the only reason.

"a general rule, principle, or piece of advice." (google's definition) piece of advice... general rule... so...
