I've been running around a little with this set I picked up from back in XY: Aurorus @ Choice Band Ability: Refrigerate EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Return - Facade - Earthquake - [Insert Filler Move] It's actually a monster of a wallbreaker that at least cripples nearly...

If The Lord of The Flies is retested and permitted entry all my faith in the council will vanish. <--this image is not mine. Don't sue me, senpai. So, Xurkitree is still a massive issue, but with Buzzwole gone stall, semi-stall, and fat balance can go back to rolling with the punches just a...

Buzzwole is disgusting. I've been running Mega Steelix for a while on a fat balance (Or, as I refer to it, in compromise with the majority of people, who see a Blissey and assume it's stall, "Frag Stall") team, in a core with Blissey, which it dominates with. I've been doing very well with it...

Aromatherapy is an excellent niche for a spinner that I admit I overlooked- problem is, no one seems to run it. I'm serious; Synthesis/Trop/U-turn or HJK/Spin is quite literally the only set I've ever seen in all my days playing in this tier, and rightly so, since without the extra attack...

Agreed. It's thanks to changing my CroCune to VinCune that I got myself from basically a bit of floating pond scum to where I am today. I posted a bit about CroCune before, which is still good, but seriously speaking VinCune is probably the best Water-type wincon I've ever used that isn't broken...

Agreed. I don't see why Tsareena's still here; if you want a utility spinner Tentacruel is infinitely superior, even if you already have a bulky Water-type- plus multiple bulky waters is the way to go with basically any slower team without a Blissey these days. Kinda sad that Tsareena can't even...

I just got a really weird idea- seems kind of stupid, but the more I think about it, the more I think it might work. Tentacool @ Eviolite EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spe Timid Nature -Rapid Spin -Scald -Toxic Spikes -Acid Spray No, I'm not kidding. This thing definitely has the movepool and...

No comment.

I agree with everything stated here, bar the Bisharp drop.

I'm rather new, so my word carries little weight. But I think Suicune shouldn't have dropped so far. Once the stronger electric-types and other wallbreakers on an opponent's team are gone, CroCune is still a monster. I can't even count the number of times it's reversed a 6-0 or a 5-0 loss into a...

I'm surprised at how few mixed sets are found here. 95 isn't great, but it's solid enough to make it a decent mixed attacker when you factor in how gargantuan its movepool is.

What would Comfey even do? I've wanted to use it but never quite figured out what to use it for. Also, Boyeraj17, why does that sand team have two stealth rock setters?

I've been using this Salamence set recently, as a dedicated counter to Mega Charizard Y, for Stall teams. Also neat because it can also catch threats like Staraptor off-guard and KO them. Not really a long discussion, I just wanted to share it. Salamence @ Leftovers Ability: Intimidate EVs: 248...

Alternatively, we could suspect individual 'mons that seem to be abusing the weather to an extent it could be called "broken." The usual way. Just a suggestion. EDIT: For example, if some newly released event 'mon (hypothetically) appeared and dropped to UU and made, say, sand, broken, then...

I prefer Vanilluxe due to the simple fact it doesn't get OHKO'd by FatZor, whereas even with the usual "Fast Support" spread Ninetales is still wrecked by it. To be honest Volcanion isn't the most solid counter for scizor as a whole, due to its lack of recovery, so it's handy to be able to get...

It was a pun on "hail." "Hail" to the king. Get it?

That's more semi-hail than dedicated hail. Anyway, here's my own hail team: Vanilluxe @ Icy Rock Ability: Snow Warning EVs: 148 HP / 252 SpA / 108 Spe Modest Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Blizzard - Freeze-Dry - Hidden Power Ground - Toxic The primary hail setter. Speed EVs creep dodmen's Politoed set...

I tried Porygon2 with Z-Conversion while messing around on an alt named "meme alt." I don't have any replays, but anyway it was too frail and slow for me- it mostly just got one-shotted by random fighting-types and coverage the opponent happened to have. So yeah, don't try it.

One thing I just need to say is how excellent Electric-types are at the moment, and how hyped I am for them. Sure, though the abundance of Ground-types isn't very good for them, they do enjoy the water-and-flying type infestation that has only grown larger. Things like Suicune and Alomomola stay...

I don't see how mamoswine is better than diggersby to be honest. Because diggersby gets swords dance, I think it definitely has a very solid niche.
