It's okay, but with TankChomps and Mega lopunnys running around, it's just a bit mehHow's Mega Tyranitar at the moment?

Scarf Meloetta seems like a waste I mean, I just don't see it getting the revenge kills that is required from a scarfer.How is Scarf Meloetta in OU? To add to the question what are some decent Special Late Game Cleaners / RKillers with U-Turn?
Same reasons Mega are in OU when the Pokemon themsleevs are in lower tiers, I assume. That the pokemon itself has been used enough for OU.How is Scarf Meloetta in OU? To add to the question what are some decent Special Late Game Cleaners / RKillers with U-Turn?
He meant "how is" as in "how effective is it in OU?"Same reasons Mega are in OU when the Pokemon themsleevs are in lower tiers, I assume. That the pokemon itself has been used enough for OU.
Cresselia, Diancie, Slowbro, and Porygon2 are probably the best TR setters availableWhich Pokémon could be a decent Trick Room setter: Slowbro/Slowking or Cofagrigus? I had considered Porygon2, but seems a bit too passive and reliant on its Eviolite.
1 - Odds of no critical hit = 1 - (15/16)^5 = 1 - 0.724 = 0.276= 27.6%What are the odds for a Skill Link Icicle Spear/Rock Blast/Bullet Seed to score at least one critical hit?
You forgot to factor in a "Scald Coefficient" - that is, whenever used by the opponent the probability is tripled.1 - Odds of no critical hit = 1 - (15/16)^5 = 1 - 0.724 = 0.276= 27.6%
I'm pretty sure that's right, but if anyone wants to check my math go ahead
OU clauses don't apply to random battles.where can i report something wrong with the ladder ? in random battle, the new BP clause is not implemented http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/randombattle-250756415
HO uses a lead + 5 offensive pokemon. Regular offense (bulky offense mostly) also uses 6 offensive pokemon, but most of them have nice defensive presence (AV Raikou, Tankchomp, Mega Altaria, TTar)What are the differences between regular offense and HO? They seem to be very similar playstyles to me.
Bulky offense (what I'm assuming you're reffering to as regular offense) has a couple of bulky, often slower Pokemon (usually the SR setter and a pivot) that are used to plug weaknesses to fast Pokemon and priority users that threaten offense like Lopunny, Weavile, Talonflame, Bisharp etc...What are the differences between regular offense and HO?

In that case, what seperates offense from balance?Bulky offense (what I'm assuming you're reffering to as regular offense) has a couple of bulky, slow Pokemon (usually the SR setter and a pivot) that are used to plug weaknesses to fast Pokemon and priority users that threaten offense like Lopunny, Weavile, Talonflame, Bisharp etc...
HO only has fast offensive Pokemon, and usually employs a Sash lead as a SR setter. They deal with threats to HO through priority or just sheer offensive presence alone (or by forfeiting when they see them)

Here are 2 teams as an exampleIn that case, what seperates offense from balance?
Oh wow! That clears up all my questions. Thanks a lot, definitely helped me.Here are 2 teams as an example
- The pokemon you find here are all offensive, but some of them have bulky presence. AV Raikou and Tankchomp gives the team switchins to pokemon like Thundurus and Lopunny, without giving too much momentum to the opponent. If you pick a balance team; for example:
- This is just a standard balance team with 3 offensive and 3 defensive pokemon. Unlike the bulky offensive team, there are pokemon without much offensive presence (Ferrothorn, Clefable) but with much more support than the Raikou and Garchomp for bulky offense. Balanced teams often have pokemon that provide defensive support to take on threats to the offensive part (Talonflame, Lopunny, Weavile) and offensive pokemon to break down other offensive and defensive pokemon.
To make things clearer, this is an example of a HO teamAzelf is a suicide lead and the other pokemon are just wallbreakers. Just 5 pokemon I put together but you can think of TWave-NP Thundurus, LO Bisharp, DD Altaria, LO Tornadus-T and Scarf/SubCM Keldeo.
And this is an example of a semi-stall team (semi-stall is more defensive orientated than balance, but unlike stall it still has some offensive presence with pokemon like SpD Talonflame, Starmie and CM Clefable)
Hoopa is legal, Volcanion isn't. Hoopa-U will most likely be OU, Normal Hoopa UU, and Volcanion is UU material imo.Are Hoopa, H-Unbound and volcanion legal now?
And if so, can you guess what tier that might drop in?
