Managed to get to 4th on the ladder with these two teams: 1st Team (~2 weeks ago) https://pokepast.es/966a8aac6936831b - Aromatisse was the final addition, largely for Pangoro and other Fighters. - Gigalith checks seemingly half the tier and 90% of special attackers; at the time veil and sun...

Wide Lens is a good alternative to bring all it's moves to around 96% accuracy

Thoughts on my team after playing through with set battle style, no exp share and no grinding (though catching everything new, which I did, somewhat amounts to grinding now that it gives exp): Rowlet: Overall it feels mid to upper-mid, similar to Treecko in terms of how much it carries it's...

The starters are always the most important aspect of a new generation in my view, so I'm quite pleased that these are the best initial starter designs since Sinnoh, possibly even Hoenn. Rowlet: Definitely going with grass this gen, grass/flying has been my #1 choice for a new starter since the...

Seconding the praise for Mega Aerodactyl. Mega Aero should be in A-, if not A. I'm using a team which happens to contain all A rank Pokemon and Aero is the MVP 9 out of 10 matches. It outspeeds and OHKOs 3 of the S-ranked mons, and 2HKOs the rest aside from Suicune. Tough Claws Aerial Ace hits...

Thoughts on the final starter evo's: Chesnaught: A vast improvement over the balloon-like Quilladin, but the color scheme compared to it's first two forms is very jarring. Everything seems like it should be a bit darker in general, and it's claws white. I'm happy with the general stat spread...

Did anyone notice this detail? Mega Mewtwo is specialized in Sp. Atk while Mega Blaziken is specialized in Attack. It's looking like Mega Mewtwo may be giving Deoxys / Deoxys-A some competition, assuming it's speed also increases as expected. It design does appear more offensively specialized...

Toxicroak is OU. Hell yes. Also cool that Cloyster and Venusaur have moved up to the big leagues. Sigilyph and Slowbro should be higher, while Hydreigon, Chandelure, and Gengar should be lower. What are people doing with Chandelure anyway, scarf? I can't believe Zapdos has fallen at last...

Lots of great artwork here, but I had to vote for just Chou Toshio and icepick, because their art is incredible, and a step above the rest for me. Chou Toshio's art would look perfect as the front page of smogon, having a good balance of red, blue, and green, along with dynamic poses of highly...

Where is the Smogon server on PO? I was just on last night, now it's gone... Is it being updated with the results of the suspect tests or something?

lol, nice. I thought it might be some obscure meme or satiric novel haha. The owl's got my vote, such a fascinating animal. And yeah Fire Emblem rocks. It and Pokemon seem to fairly common as shared interests.

What a mysterious one you are...joining the discussion only rarely, but when you do it demonstrates you know what you're talking about. I remember that first post you made in the "should we start with a banlist" thread that was massive but very insightful. Interesting avatar too... Haha sorry...

I believe you meant Close Combat here.

Since when has Jumpluff of all things been an issue? And Leafeon has Chlorophyll now (I believe it was released?) meaning a SD set is the one to use. I really have to disagree with wanting to ban the weather starters. The only Weather abuse Poke that's broken is Manaphy. In the rain, you...

Usage statistics are still not exactly reliable reasons for tiering at this point. The same usage statistics show that Deoxys-A, Manaphy, and Wobbuffet are also in UU - below Kyumeru, while Pokemon like Blastoise, Umbreon and Dusknoir are above them. (...) And Ice is not such a terrible type...
