the feels. gen7 lower tiers have viable stall so you can always take that for a whirl. I made a halfway decent uu stall.

Amen. Stall is hard to pull off in SM (skipped ORAS and XY). I always hated Jirachi just because of Serene Grace + Iron Head (or Zen Headbutt). Since I don't play OU anymore and just play LC, I'd have to say Abra. It's strong and can't be OHKO'd cause of Magic Guard + Sash. Gen 1 - Rhydon. It...

newer gens are always going to be more powerful in case you havent noticed, it's a trend. each year nintendo puts out progressively more powerful pokemon and moves, and mechanics of the game to make gen6 better than gen 5. gen 5 than gen 4. etc. It's so that they can attract people to buy the...

how are you going to pair them together when you can only have one megamon per team???

xy is the most balanced metagame i can think of except for maybe rs. Any playstyle is really viable, you can stall, you can run HO, you can go in the middle, you can use "special" teams (tr, weather) but no one strategy is consistently better than any other. Pokemon are stronger, yeah, but...

Terrakion @ Life Orb 252 Atk / 252 Spe Jolly -Swords Dance -Close Combat -Stone Edge -Earthquake Resists only attack, hits for at least neutral damage and can set up with ease unless lava plume burns.

Gen 6 UU doesn't really exist yet. The game is fairly new so the usage stats and metagame as a whole are still kind of ambiguous. I don't predict we'll have UU as a serious tier until about January / February, once OU settles and Pokemon are shuffled around to their respective tiers.

Honestly if you play on Showdown and aren't playing on Pokebank, you're kind of handicapping yourself because it's arrival is inevitable and it's soon going to be the standard meta so you might as well get used to it now. Also it's hella fun.

- Username: .gamer - Answer to current topic: (I guess Hawlucha?) It's a mediocre pokemon for OU imo. Cool typing, decent moves, great speed. 97 Attack is very low for OU when you have MegaScizor/Heracross running around. Even without megamons if you play regular OU, you are outclassed by a...

thanks for the feedback. Now that I'm climbing up the ladder a ways, I can see where Breloom is starting to become a hindrance more than an asset. I want to keep the subseed thing if possible, even if on another poke like Celebi or Venusaur or whatever is good in OU that is grass. I thought...

yeah i think ill run lum. that way i dont have to worry about para even though its not a real issue but whatever. ill also change that ev spread and ill consider roost. so far i havent had problems not having it. shadow ball was just suggested on smogon so i ran with it. will consider toxic...

Hey what's up. Some of you know me some of you don't, not really important to be fair. I used to play tons of mons back in dpp days but then gen 5 came in and pretty much blew a load on competitive battling so I decided to stay away from that but gen 6 man, gen 6 is the bee's knees, the cat's...

Immunity seems dumb to me. I'd be okay with a resistance but immunity seems like overkill. This is just an off-the-cuff reaction. I still don't think it will get rid of dragon centralization, they are generally speaking some of the fastest and strongest attack mons with more often than not...

I'm on summer break and I decided to play mons. I just can't get into the groove of Gen V. Like, I can learn about the top threats and everything, that's no big deal to me, basically everything is a threat and if it's not a threat you are doing something right. I get that part, everything kills...

<font size="1"> <br /> <br /> Not necessarily. Smogon"s server is more battle-oriented and to be honest the PC server isn"t (hi I"m still alive and even though I haven"t been around lately, I"m not naive enough to think things have changed). The PC server is more of a hangout spot. It"s a...
