I realize how it works in theory; however, I can never seem to execute the strategy properly. I have tried it, but just can't seem to make it work.

Could I see a replay or something of this core? As i see it, if you run into a team with a spinner, Bisharp's part of the core is removed, and it would seem to lose effectiveness. If they run a defogger, wouldn't Aegi be less useful? I just would like to see this core in action, can't really...

Ok, I feel the need to intervene here. First off, you say that So you suggest 3 moves. EQ, Sludge Bomb, and Roar. After this you talk about HP fire and leech seed. Thats five moves. It also needs grass moves to beat manaphy, so six moves. Synthesis? Thats seven moves. And don't say that...

You could, but it dosen't have many good moves outside of water and dark moves.

I understand all this, but have just one observation. All your examples were viable OU pokemon, and the parts without examples could easily be done on reqular OU pokemon. Yet Wobba/Goth are not banned in OU. There is plenty of power in UU right now, just look at Victini/Hydreigon etc. Hydreigon...

Why are the prominent users of Shadow Tag banned? I don't feel they are too strong for the meta right now.

And, in a slight continuation, Moldy Pinsir does cause some good mind games.

Moxie is a bad idea, as you should not be trying to sweep and get boosts with base Pinsir (at least I don't...), hyper cutter is helpful in some circumstances i suppose. But mold breaker actually has a purpose. IMO all Pinsirs should say "Pinsir breaks the mold", as mold breaker is the best...

Rotom, seeing Pinsir, comes in. Sees "breaking the mold", disregards it, as it expects it to Mevolve and SD 1st turn. EQ is enough to 2HKO it, and Pinsir can out speed. Either the player sacks Rotom there, or switches into something else, hoping to preserve Rotom. Pinsir wins here as a +2 Return...

I feel the need to interject here... As I see it, all Pinsir are Mevolved the first chance they can, and as Rotom-W is pretty much a hard counter to M-Pinsir, they will stay in, and get smashed with EQ. Unless the opponent is playing very paranoid(ly?), it will hit. Not a matter of being...

I need some help with my Charmbuffet Charmbuffet @ Leftovers Ability: Shadow Tag EVs: 4 Spe / 252 HP / 252 Def Bold Nature - Safeguard - Encore - Mirror Coat - Charm I have found him to be highly successful (see here: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-89093893 ). However, I am having...

That is another option, but it would play differently. There are a few differences, one being this: even with light screen/reflect up, some sweepers will be taking a little too much damage IMO. Secondly, the raw defensive stats. Gothitelle has 70/95/110 defenses, while Wobba has 190/55/55. How...

I respect what you are saying, but that is not how they are ranked. The thing is, the checks and counters, the Pokemon it can "keep in check or deal with" are its flaws which prevent it from sweeping. It has good typing. It has decent bulk. Great offenses, good move-pool. However, when the...

How can it run over most of the metagame if it's counters are everywhere? For the last time, I 100% agree. It is absolutely amazing. S Rank: Reserved for Pokemon who can sweep or wall significant portions of the metagame with little support. But because it's counters are everywhere, it no...

Any other thoughts on that Wobba set?

Again, before the metagame shifted, Aegislash was easy S rank. But read your statement. " "It's counters are so common" That, right there, is why Aegi should be A or A+, not S. Other: Please move Hippowdon up :P What does anyone else think of Wobbo moving up to B/B+?

Wait, what? What? Barely anything counters it fully. Remember, a counter is something that can come in on it and then win. Nothing barring ghosts can come in well on a STAB adaptability CC, before taking ANOTHER AND winning the matchup. If it's a ghost, then crunch. Talonflame, then Espeed...

No I read the rest of your post Lucarionite helps Aegi stay S as Aegi can live crunch and then OHKO in return with sacred sword, so Lucarionite actually helps it. It has lost things; namely, the element of surprise, as (most) teams are prepared for it, because the metagame adapted to counter it..

It WAS S-rank material. Now that the meta-game has adapted like you said, its checks and counters are more common then ever.

I want to nominate Wobbuffet for B/B+ rank Wobbuffet is a very potent threat, ranging from simple CounterCoat, to tickle sets and (potentially) Charmbuffet. Wobbuffet is near guaranteed a kill, barring moves that can OHKO wobbo. Thanks to Wobbo's high HP, he can live many attacks, while...
