My favorite thread for my favorite tier is back!? Hell yeah! I'll just go ahead and respond to a few of the most interesting ideas I've seen so far, and then give a few ideas of my own. What if Stunfisk got Water Absorb? This is actually something that has interested me greatly, as I actually...

Get ready for your butts to be rocked. Torterra @ Leftovers Ability: Overgrow EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Wood Hammer - Stone Edge - Swords Dance - Rock Polish Look at this set, you can just feel the power emanating from this majestic beast as he dances in a fashion that...

So if there's one Pokemon I think is wholly underrated and unduly ignored, it would be Dewgong. Now, I'm sure most people who just read that are laughing in my face right now, but take a quick look at Dewgong and you can see why it would be absolutely viable in a metagame like this! This is...

Mega Luxray Type: Electric/Fighting Ability: Vital Spirit Item: Luxrite Stats: 80/120/79/95/79/70 ==> 110/140/109/115/109/50 (+30/+20/+30/+20/+30/-20) It's hard to throw 100 extra stats at Luxray without breaking him, but lowering his speed really helps a lot. The extra bulk makes him able to...

So I looked at Plusle and Minun's moves and they had some interesting things to work with... Mega Plusle Type: Electric Ability: No Guard Item: Pluslenite Stats: 60/50/40/85/75/95 ==> 60/90/60/95/95/105 (0/+40/+20/+10/+20/+10) So both Plusle and Minun both have a very interesting move that I...

Kadabra @ Focus Sash Ability: Magic Guard EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Psychic - Energy Ball - Calm Mind / Dazzling Gleam - Encore Why it isn't a Sunkern: With Focus Sash and Magic Guard, Kadabra is guaranteed to survive at least one hit, as well as not take a single bit of...

Just a few thoughts on the few “NU” Pokémon that we have on the list: Meowstic-M – Seems a lot better to me than Meowstic-F, simply because of Prankster helping him set himself apart from the rest of the generic Psychic attackers in the tier. He even has Thunder Wave, so we might have another...

Golurk One of the best rock setters in the tier, if not the best due to its infamous No Guard Dynamicpunch. Even without Dynamicpunch or Stealth Rock it can be a very difficult to defeat, as Iron Fist is a fantastic ability and lets it hit like a beast. The only other choices for me were...

Golurk

Just thought I'd point out that Liepard is literally the only Pokemon (other than Purrloin, who does the same thing but slighly less effectively) able to use the Prankster + Assist combo, since no other Pokemon who learns Assist has Prankster. That technically means that every Pokemon who uses...

I suck at posting.

Yeah, sure, I'll go ahead and throw a set on here, why not? Armaldo @ Life Orb / Leftovers / Lum Berry Ability: Battle Armor EVs: 4 Def / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Adamant Nature - Stone Edge - Earthquake - Rock Polish - Swords Dance Like Raseri said before me, Armaldo has a pretty easy time setting...

What if Emolga obtained Hurricane? Would it jump in popularity as an abuser of accurate STAB Hurricane and STAB Thunder in the rain? Or would its base 75 Special Attack be too little for it to be usable?

I've used Floatzel quite a lot recently, and while it is rather frail, it makes up for this in its diverse movepool, great Attack and fantastic Speed stats. Bulk Up + Baton Pass is a fantastic strategy if you know what you're doing, as it allows Floatzel to support its team as well as be a late...

Simisage @ Leftovers / Life Orb Ability: Overgrow EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 Def Jolly Nature / Naive Nature - Seed Bomb - Gunk Shot - Substitute/Focus Blast - Hone Claws With a Hone Claws boost, Gunk Shot has pretty respectable power and accuracy, able to hit many Pokemon neutrally and able to...

Sunflora is a Sunflower. Figured that was pretty self explanatory. If Gastly can get the elemental punches, and Diglett/Dugtrio can learn Cut/Slash, I figured that a sunflower getting a fire type move wouldn't be so far fetched. Though if it really is that unrealistic I'll take it off.

Well poop. Didn't even realize that Trick Room had -7 Priority, but that does make sense I suppose. Still, Banette has an amazing support movepool that it can use with Prankster, so the Trick Room issue isn't so huge. Edited the OP so that Trick Room isn't mentioned.

I'd like to get the ball rolling again with a few more Theorymon ideas I had in store. First off: What if Banette got Prankter? I know that this was done just recently with Haunter, but Banette has pretty much everything Haunter does without the speed and Ground type weakness. Banette has a...

Throh is pretty damn good in PU. Its Defense is amazing, and its HP is pretty good too, and with a single Bulk Up it can take a hit from every single Physical Attacker and survive as long as it's at close to full health. I've been using it pretty extensively now, and even the weaker Special...

Flash Fire Magmar Doesn't really change anything for Magmar at all. He doesn't take much from fire type moves, he's too slow to really take advantage of it, and Vital Spirit is a better choice anyway because of Jynx. Regenerator Glaceon Different mon, same problems. LO Glaceon isn't fast...
