Can someone explain to me why this gen MLatios and MGarchomp are considered good when the previous gen you had almost no reason to use them over their regular LO variant? What changed this gen and why can't you just use a life orb which outdamages the mega forms and use the mega slot for another...

Why is there no viability thread in RU ?

A- to A: Disagree. Hydreigon is one of those mons that is better on paper than it is in practice, you may look at it and say to yourself "oh shit, it 2HKOs everything in the tier, even fairies like Clef and Toge" but the problem with it imo is that it can potentially lose you games because of...

+ + I feel like people who don't think Azu is broken haven't played around with teams containing Aurora Veil + HealingWish + VoltTurn support + Z-BD Azu. It's honestly pretty stupid how suddenly stuff that is supposed to revenge +6 Azu by taking an Aqua Jet find themselves unable to KO it then...

small nitpick but Wing Attack > Aerial Ace since it has more PP, same power and AAce never missing is useless since smogon has an evasion clause

The problem with AV Slowbro is that it gets 2HKO'd by Specs Primarina's Moonblast and Nidoking's TBolt: 252+ SpA Choice Specs Primarina Moonblast vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Assault Vest Slowbro: 202-238 (51.2 - 60.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO 252 SpA Life Orb Sheer Force Nidoking Thunderbolt vs. 252 HP / 0...

I really wish to see more people use AV Slowking. Slowking @ Assault Vest Ability: Regenerator EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA Modest Nature - Scald - Psyshock / Future Sight - Fire Blast - Dragon Tail It's like the only Pokemon that can provide BO and balance teams a switch-in to BOTH Keldeo...

You know who liked this tier shift the most? Virizion! It lost its best Rkiller in Alakazam and four mons that used to wall it in Crobat, Doublade, Togekiss and Arcanine. (scarf Chandelure and Mienshao being gone also help it) not only that, but it also bops both new drops and can switch in...

Yeah here's a list of important/viable moves that looks like we will be getting with the Pokébank: * Lovely Kiss Nidoking * Lovely Kiss Nidoqueen * Moonlight Nidoqueen * Lovely Kiss Snorlax * Lovely Kiss Poliwrath * Lovely Kiss Politoed * Lovely Kiss Granbull * Rapid Spin Golem * Growth Jolteon...

Which is considered a better mon so far Dnite or Mence ? I mean, if there was a viability list who would be ranked higher ?

Can confirm, I lost to you twice but finally beat you after I changed my Mamoswine to Icicle Spear. BP should not be legal in any metagame, it's gay af.

Intimidate is unreleased on it.

I think the only mons that can be considered broken atm are Torn-T (because it's almost impossible to punish) and Gengar (very hard to wall with defensive teams except Alolan-Muk/Skuntank, hits hard and has enough coverage to destroy balance and has enough speed to keep up against offense) One...

Just a reminder that it's almost impossible to play balance in a new metagame, you either play HO or full fat if you want to stand a chance.

But Thief also gets the technician boost and has more PP, and Knock Off does more damage than both if the target has an item (which it will most likely will since Scizor uses Dark type moves to hit the likes of A-Marowak who always holds an item, not to mention Knock Off also removes Shed Shell...

Why is everybody using Brutal Swing Scizor instead of Knock Off or even Thief ?

Stays the same means it still gets the x1.5 boost like it did in ORAS. E: from Bulbapedia

Knock Off stays the same with Mega Stones, subbed mons and sticky hold but cannot knock Z-Crystals off and only has 65 BP when used on a mon holding one. (it CAN actually knock off Soul Dew tho) As for mechanic changes, I think you can check the first post in this thread for a summary...

should mention HP Electric on the offensive set as it OHKOs Pelipper and helps beat Mantine after trapping it with Magma Storm.

I think Z-Splash deserves a mention in OO as a wallbreaker.
