Anyone else tried Alluring Voice on Milotic? After an insane number of years, Milotic finally got an additional coverage move in fairy which is quite good in the metagame. As usual, Scald is mandatory along with Recover. Ice Beam still works if you’re concerned with Dragonite, Gliscor and their...

I think Milotic could still make use of the new move Chilling Water, to help patch up its weaker physical defence. It is a viable pokemon and Empoleon’s steel typing gives it many resistances but also additional weaknesses. It just depends on what your team needs.

Oh wow. Does this mean the game is glitched? Milotic with calm mind is pretty darn awesome though..should have gotten it long ago imo.

Is this true? Does Milotic really get Calm Mind now?? Holy. I just saw it's also stated at serebii that there is a character in the game who uses calm mind milotic. Yet it does not appear that milotic can learn calm mind by TM at all? This is very odd and puzzling.

Interesting EV spread. I’ve always found the original 252 HP / 12 or 0 Sp Def investment to be wanting in this metagame, so I’ll try this spread too to see if it better helps Milotic to tank special hits. My experience has been the same as yours - Milotic works in walling/countering what it...

Whether a Pokémon is viable or not depends on how the user crafts the move set and the synergy the mon has with its teammates. I’ve seen people sweep using a Comfey and other traditionally ‘unviable’ pokemon in OU to great effect. You play either according to the Pokémon’s strength or the...

I have nominated Milotic in the previous rounds of VR for SS OU and I'll do it again. Milotic should at least be in the C ranks of OU viability. In the current metagame, I have had great success with flame orb Milotic in my balanced team, and has achieved 1700+ points. Milotic @ Flame Orb...

I think Pheromosa should seriously be put on a suspect test if not banned asap. Brief points (which may have already been rehashed many times): 1. The band set hits way too hard and maintains momentum by way of U-Turn. 2. Being able to go mix with ice coverage helps it a lot against its...

The metagame currently feels faster yet also bulkier with many sweepers such as Kyurem-B, Zygarde, Landorus-T running amok. With so many dragons and grounds around, I am finding a fair bit of success with bulky waters once again. In particular, Swampert, Milotic and Tapu Fini. Tapu Fini -...

Yea I think Milotic definitely beats out some of the options in low-tier VR at the moment. Perhaps one of those situations may be an overlap in typings? For example, if your team already packs a poison type (like I did with G-Weezing), I really wouldn't want another poison type such as Toxapex...

Hi there, thanks for the suggested EV spread! You are right - 314 Sp Def will definitely be even better. Round 1 - For this match, there was nothing too scary for Milotic to wall so I agree leftovers might have been more helpful. Round 2 - Yes, the burn prevented Choice Band Cinderace from...
