The most broken Pokemon as of right now is probably Cradwaunt. Chansey makes for a good second however.What's the Pokemon closest to be considered broken?
Also what counters Haxorus in offensive teams?
Pokemon with access to the moves Whirlwind, Roar, and Dragon Tail, such as Hippowdon, Vaporeon, and Mega-Aggron respectively, can all keep CM sweepers from setting up. If they end up as the last Pokemon remaining on your opponents team however, these Pokemon won't help much. Taunt users are also great at shutting them down, and can even keep them from setting up when they're all that's left. Mew has both great bulk and access to Taunt (as well as most every other teachable move), and would definitely help with CM users.What are some decent checks and/or counters to CM sweepers that'd fit on a bulky offense team?
Whenever Limitless gets to it really. The guy does have a life that exceeds Smogon, as well as basic human needs. Give him some time.how often does the uu viability thread get updated on average or is it like an every 48 hr thing or something?
With Florges' popularity, Hawlucha's even higher Speed tier, Mega-Blastoise, and the all-new Ghost-types that have been introduced to Underused, I've personally found Choice Scarf Heracross to be very underwhelming. The tier is just too defensive for it right now.How good is scarf heracross in this meta? I know it was terrifying last gen, is it as terrifying for XY with the increase in priority and whatnot?
imo guts sd or band is the way to go for heracross right now, its much more suited to be a wallbreaker than a sweeper in this metaHow good is scarf heracross in this meta? I know it was terrifying last gen, is it as terrifying for XY with the increase in priority and whatnot?
Never.When will UU be split up into RU and NU?
So just like last gen?Never.
UU will always stay in existance, RU and will simply emerge from the 'mons that are below the usage cutoff (which is 3.41% in usage). Following on that, NU will be made from all the Pokemon that don't make it into to RU tier (where the cutoff will be 3.41% as well)
Yeap. No reason to change the system.So just like last gen?
Why does anyone use Phantom Force? Atleast Fly will take a leftovers charge from a rock type and Water Absorb isn't that common that Dive is useless, do people want Normal types to catch on?Let's assume I'm insane and want to use an offensive Wall-breaker Mega Banette with this set:
Banette @ Banettite
Ability: Frisk
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk
Brave Nature
IVs: 0 Spd
- Destiny Bond
- Taunt
- Phantom Force
- Sucker Punch
What are some good Pokemon to work alongside it, both defensively and offensively?
Yes, it was deleted by Limitless. Not sure why but you can probably ask him!Was the UU Team building competition removed?
I haven't played much with Mega Banette so I don't know whats best/standard, but Phantom Force is significantly stronger than Shadow Claw (1.28 times stronger, almost a Life Orb boost) and Ghost is a great offensive STAB. Fly and Dive are both pretty useless competitively, as there are moves that are stronger and don't allow your opponent to bring out a resistance/immunity.Why does anyone use Phantom Force? Atleast Fly will take a leftovers charge from a rock type and Water Absorb isn't that common that Dive is useless, do people want Normal types to catch on?
