Honestly, most of these aren't really anything special. But there are a few I can point out that might shake things up a little.

Totodile+Aqua Jet: It might give more leverage over to the Swords Dance end of it with priority STAB now, coming off a high attack and a +2 boost. Plus, god knows what would happen with Torrent. Maybe a CB Set similar to Azumarill could become potent. Plus, the only thing that the DD set had was the speed boost, so the priority helps both ends out.

Absol+Mega Horn: God, give something that's already strong enough a little more coverage with a 120 BP move. Sure, low PP and accuracy stagger it, but still, it helps a little xD

Cleffa+Aromatherapy: Superior UU Chansey activate. Honestly, that might just drop the usage of Chansey a crapload lol. I guess the only downside here is that it negates a little usefulness out of TrickOrb sets, but those aren't all that popular anyways.

Dratini+Extremespeed: Hey, Dragonite gets something over Salamence, a little priority abuse here! Maybe this might make the inferior dragon step up a little eh?

Jynx and Misdreavus+Nasty Plot: Hmm, looks sort of like the decision with DD and SD with Feraligatr. I mean, it's either a faster boost or the SpD boost too. Mismagius already has a higher SpD, so I guess Sub+NP sets could work, but Jynx, ehh...either way still helps.

Nidoran F+Head Smash+Sucker Punch: A little leverage for physical Nidoqueen sets. Some nice added coverage is nice, and the priority from Sucker Punch is cool.

I mean honestly, anything that's "major" affects UU more than OU. Still though, this should be interesting.

(PS: I'm too lazy to go in depth xD)

wolf September 10th, 2009 11:35 AM

ARCANINE RECIEVED MORNING SUN. 8DD Could use that on the bulky set. :D

CB Dragonite might be some use with ExtremeSpeed.

Absol with Megahorn is interesting...

Crawdaunt has DD now. <3

I'm in the mood to use Quagsire now. X3

I'll theorymon later.

Edit: Head Smash + Aggron with Rock Head would be awesome in NU.

Sebastien Loeb September 10th, 2009 11:55 AM

Extremespeed Dragonite is a good thing, in UU Jynx and Misdreavus Nasty Plotter they can become very strong.

Salvation September 10th, 2009 12:11 PM

First of all, something actually notable....

Poliwag + Encore = ENCOREWRATH, yes Im actually going to see how this might turn out @[email protected]

Cleffa + Aromatherapy = The Superior Liability Bliss in UU !! ^^

Mudkip + Yawn = We might actually see Swampert do some phazing on stall teams now :x

Cacnea + Nasty Plot = We might see the rise of NP Cacturne...I can see it in OU already Oo

Hippotas + Revenge = Something else besides SuperPower amirite ?

Anyways, I was just scanning through it for anything I thought was significant. Personally, I'm excited for all of the above but Encore Poliwrath...that's gonna be great ^^

BeachBoy September 10th, 2009 12:53 PM

YAWN SWAMPERT, YES.

All I can say is that I already have a new yawn lead in the Battle Frontier to try out. <3

252 ATT / 252 SPEED / 6 DEF
Adamant Nature

Is cute imo.

It can deal ~ 60% to both Mence and Gyarados with ES and Latias. Does like ~75% to Ape and Starmie. I mean its not the best but its still cool.

Heck, anti lead nite anyone lol?

Switcheroo on Manectric also seems very interesting, especially on the choice sets.


Encore being spammed is great, its one of the best moves in the game imo and helps with stall, especially last poke sweeps.

Chaostorm September 10th, 2009 2:11 PM

Wow , Dragonite got something that Salamence dont , ExtremeSpeed

Bulky Arcanine with Morning Sun owns

Feraligatr , known as a UU Gyara , got something that Gyara dont , Aqua Jet with SD succesfully Outclasses Swords Dance Priority Empoleon thanks to the Aligator's nice attack

Honchkrow got Brave Bird ! ScarfKrow will really have a good use with it as Honchkrow has an Emphasized base 100 HP .

Kingler is a true king now ! Agility and sweep with its damn crazy 394 Attack

Rayquaza can flinch with Air Slash , Giratina-O finally got a STAB Priority to hurt Deoxys-A who thinks it will lol at it with Specs Ice Beam , Palkia got Hydro Pump that is so great to put it over surf

I got totally shocked that Lucario got Follow Me , which is totally bad ( you owned me Wolflare lol )

Jimmyray September 10th, 2009 2:47 PM

Not mentioned above @ Night Slash Shinx, Extrasensory Cyndaquil & Leaf Blade Farfetch'd!
Great additions! Typhlosion now has a new decent move to make use of it's SpAtk, Luxray could be a decent physcial sweeper and Farfetch'ds move is super :)

EDIT: Wait Luxray already has Crunch...

Skip Shot September 10th, 2009 2:53 PM

Hmm... Rock Polish Aggron+Head Smash+Rock Head is going to hurt a lot in NU, especially with all the bugs and fires there.

Yawn Pert sounds pretty awesome, can't wait to try that.

Anybody else thinking about Belly Drum+Salac Berry Ursaring? Looks good in theory IMO. (maybe a bulky version or a Tox Orb+Quick Feet Option)

Everything else was talked about.

wolf September 10th, 2009 2:55 PM

I'm actually thinking of using an anti-lead Dugtrio with Reversal. @ Focus Sash, SR / Earthquake / Stone Edge / Reversal. Could use Liechi Berry with Endure / Sub, that way it will pack more of a punch.

Painter September 10th, 2009 2:58 PM

yea i was thinking about belly drum ursaring and swampert with yawn will be cool too

Salvation September 10th, 2009 3:28 PM

imo, focus punch > focus blast then sub + NP and Dark Pulse 4 bliss yknow.

And why not encore poliwrath anyone ? I see a potential chance to set up

Poliwrath @ Leftovers
252 HP / 252 Attack / 4 Def
Water Absorb
>Bulk Up
>Brick Break
>Waterfall
>Encore

Syaoran September 10th, 2009 4:41 PM

I think the best additions currently are definitely Recover Quagsire and Nasty Plot Misdreavus / Jynx / Mr.Mime (for BP chain). Changes are always fun =]

Quagsire might actually be used more and finally become OU. Recover and Water Absorb vs SR (Swampert) is something to consider.

chaos11011 September 10th, 2009 4:58 PM

I see Defencive Empoleons comming around with FeatherDance.DD tropius will be very funny XD.Belly Drum on Magby will be useless though

Quag will be defenatly moved up to OU

No, you fail September 10th, 2009 4:59 PM

Nasty plot mismagius could turn out to be a pain
Also, anyone else think that dd + lo + extremespeed dragonite is going to be hard to deal with?

I doubt it, there is a still a bunch of Pokemon that can outrun Dragonite and take an ExtremeSpeed easily (Gengar, Jirachi, etc). But, a lot of the fragile stuff like Starmie, Jolteon, etc will have trouble revenge killing it now. CB will probably pose more of a threat imo, and Salamence would still dominant the DD position.

Can we please stop with these ridiculous assumptions? "Quagsire will be moved up to OU" is a bit much considering it's defensively and offensively outclassed by Swampert stat-wise. While it does have a few key advantages (Recover, Water Absorb, Encore), the lack of Stealth Rock will pretty much make it outclassed in terms of usefulness =/ It'll definately surge in usage for a while, but overall, it can't take neutral hits in OU as well as you people are making it out to be. I'd provide calcs but they'd probably be useless considering most people would just theorymon them to oblivion X_X Dragonite with Extremespeed is also not going to really alter the metagame much. The thing that normally revenge kill are either resistant (Lucario and Scizor) or don't really care all that much about it (Flygon). Could be useful as an Anti-Lead or just a plain CB set, but otherwise, it likely won't be a staple.

Aggron definately stands out for me. Head Smash 2HKOs Slowbro and nearly OHKOs Milotic (I think less defensive versions are straight up OHKOed). Rock Polish and Choice Band will be nice, but the same things that keep it in NU now (typing, low Speed, low Special Defense) will keep it from becoming OU. Poor Aggron, I'll still use you <3

Quagsire getting Recover is pretty awesome, it could probably go up to UU now <3

Extremespeed is nice on Dragonite but honestly I don't think it's going to get much more usage because of it. An anti-lead could work decently.

NPMismagius is pretty cool, Whiscash gets DD I guess a DDset is viable in NU.

Move tutors guys, super fang dear god lol Luckily only a few useful pokes get it. Taunt + Super Fang Crobat anyone ?


Pain Split forry and Rotom, jeez. Some walls just got "ok" healing moves.

And FINALLY clerics might be useful with more viable users.

edit : Just for the lols, Pain Split Gengar beats Blissey prolly rofl! Actually that could work, Taunt/Pain Spilt/S-Ball/Focus Blast. Kinda like a mini stall breaker idk.

Actually, Cradily already has Recover, which is more reliable and overall more effective for stalling. It also doesn't require Cradily to minimize its HP for maximum results.

I'm really liking DD Crawdaunt at the moment. It completely obliterates the most common bulky Waters in UU (Milotic and Slowbro) with a STAB Crunch after a Dragon Dance, and also hits most things for high damage with Waterfall, X-Scissor, etc...Might bring it up to UU, and if it does, I can see Tangrowth rising slightly to counter it (which might bring upon an influx of Mixed Crawdaunt with Ice Beam !)

Anyway, Belly Drum Ursaring is ridiculous power-wise. Let's see, with Belly Drum, max Attack, Adamant and Guts, Ursaring has an astounding 2364 Attack stat. To put this into perspective, here are some damage calculations:

+6 Guts Facade vs...

Max HP / Max Def Steelix: 92%-108%
Max HP / Max Def Skarmory: 127%-150%
Max HP / Max Def Aggron: 53%-62%

Insane....But the low Speed and lackluster defenses will keep it from crushing all of our bones with it's paws, thank goodness!

Sebastien Loeb September 11th, 2009 12:17 PM

With Yawn to Swampert I foresee an immense increase of the Taunt and Grass Knoter in the leads of the teams of DP metagame.

Skip Shot September 11th, 2009 2:39 PM

Looking at the tutor moves, it looks like Scizor got a higher BP Bug move to toy with- Technician Bug Bite. It totals at 130 Base Power thanks to STAB and Technician iirc, which is higher than X-Scissor. Also can help stop a lot of SubBerry sweeps if it hits an opponent with Bug Bite. I see a lot more usage of Bug Bite Scizor, and maybe even a decrease of Pokemon like SubPetaya Empoleon and whatnot (not like it was used as much anyways in the first place however).

Pokedra September 12th, 2009 1:23 AM

Skip Shot it actually totals at 135(60+30+45) but yeah Bug Bite >>> X-Scissor, it's more powerful and will screw up SubBerry Pokemon.

Forretress and Rotom-A getting Pain Split is decent and now they can heal with resorting to Rest.

DD Crawdaunt is looking really cool, I'll probably give it a shot on one of my NU teams <3
