the main problem with jolteon has is it's movepool, which you outlined in your post. While electabuzz's might not look that much better the addition of focus blast (and possibly mixed) really really helps him out. I'm not aware of any important positions that you could get in that would really...

generally electabuzz outclasses jolteon, it may have 15 less base speed but 120 is what you really need to outspeed which electabuzz does.

Latios threatens offense and stall. Also it's not very easy to completely tear apart teams for shaymin, it can be done but it's not particularly easy. I'd also like to mention that shaymin is one of the few things that offense has to deal with ph suicune, and some other set up pokemon that...

Vivillon----->A- as a lead vivillon is absolutely fantastic it is extremely hard for your opponent to deal with and you will almost always sleep your opponent and then maybe do damage to another pokemon with quiver dance hurricane/bug buzz the main things that get around this will normally just...

Yes it is, bulk up is the best due to it's lower defense than special defense, the +20 stat boost is huge, so yeah, definitely viablee to say the least.

So I was working on a om submission that involved lower tier pokemon, when I realised that a lot of the pokemon are just worse versions of their evolutions. What I mean by this is there are many pokemon that perform the exact same role this is useful as it essentially doubles the strength of...

Do you think we need to ban Heracross? Heracross has no counters. doublade is 2hko'd by tough claws knock off. Intim zapdos is 2hko'd by stone edge, you are forced to bb w/ skarm which kills you, intim skarm has to do the same. Intim suicune is 2hko'd by skill link bullet seed and 3hkos with...

The fact is that, similarily to every other pokemon in the tier, all it's sets have a counter, for tinted lens you can use a chansey and for tinted lens you can use levi steel. (also btw even with tinted lens tran still counters). by the way, latios is more complicated than that due to the fact...

all the arguments scattered around the place are "it hits hard and is fast." and don't go into much more detail and certainly none of them go into detail about how the meta would change without it and if the change is good or bad "III.) Providing justification is the onus of the side changing...

you argument relies upon thee fact that it's guarenteed to get 1 layer, but that's not particularly impressive, azelf is also able to do this and it can explode. What people don't seem to understand is that leads are made to get up hazards, and they normally should be able to and if they can't...

the fact that it is being used implies that players are being conditioned to use it meaning that when they are playing hyper offense they aren't doing as well as when they are in ou or any of the other tiers and when they play stall or semi stall they are doing better than they are in ou or any...

You are the one saying that offense is doing better so you are the one that has to provide the proof, I have provided proof from the ladder (which whether you like it or not does help in regards to things like common playstyles even if it isn't always filled with the most competent of...

shaymin sky doesn't hurt stall more than latios or heracross. Shaymin sky doesn't hurt offense that much due to it being checked by skarmory and genesect and revenged by any priority which is mandatory for offense. Honestly, while playing againainst it on offense it's not as much of a threat as...

My response was going to be much longer but you pretty much said everything I was going to say but I'd like to add that a few things. the amount of offense being played on the aaa meta is pretty consistent with smogon tiers, but stall is much higher. there are several threats in aaa that's...
