cosmicexplorer, you missed a Nidoking on page 8.

If you ever see a Butterfree you expect a Sleep Powder. This set could be used to get a free Butterfly Dance as the opponent switches to something else they want to take the sleep.

It wouldn't help against Lucario, because Extreme Speed is now a +2 priority. Dragonite will be a counter to Blaziken, barring a switch into Stone Edge.

But if you're switching against a stall team often, that means stall is winning. And if you give up scarf, you lose your ability to revenge kill 50% of the time. All it seems that Ditto can do is revenge kill and even that will require some prediction to use effectively.

I don't see why it should be. While Ditto will be able to revenge kill anything that has set up and start sweeping, he isn't perfect. Most of the time, you will need to sacrifice something in order to get Ditto in safely. Not exactly ban material. Ditto will also do nothing against a stall...

Eh, you do have a point. But they could always switch to a counter on the turn you protect, you could predit that and act accordingly and so on and so forth. The first turn that Blaziken comes in will require some predition on both sides. Either way, Infernape will still be more useful than...

Considering that Dynamic Punch's confusion is a guaranteed, it will not recieve a boost. But Poison Sting gets a boost, F YEAH!

In the long run, yeah. But if you need something NOW and you can't wait a couple turns, Infernape is a better choice. He also has a better movepool compared to Blaziken.

Well, it seems like most people's first instinct is to slap a scarf on Ditto and use it to revenge kill. The best counter would be to, well, switch to something else. Being stuck on a move that is NVE or has no effect on your poke will ruin the poor Ditto. Of course, if you've already DDed...

Nidoking Dream World Abiltiy: Encourage Ability Characteristics: Encourage increases the attack power of moves with secondary effects by 50% but prevents said effects from occurring. Pros: Nidoking has never quite been OU material. He has lackluster 92 attack and 85 special attack...

Do we know what all the new priority moves do, or are the new fighting/dragon phazing moves all we know for sure?

Do we know if the "rechargeable battery" overrides Lightningrod or not? Either way it could see some use, if only for gimmick reasons, on something like Starmie or Gengar.

I think there is a bit of misunderstanding. Transform copies any boosts that are present at the time of transforming. If Ditto's new ability works like this, then what could happen is that you switch in Ditto, who transforms and copies stats and the opposing pokemon uses something like DD or...
