But introduces its own problems. It's not immune to status like regular Ursaluna (cuz already burned), facade is the same power and can be used every turn and can be boosted with swords dance but blood moon has to be every other turn making it predictable and easier to switch on and it doesn't...

How does Ursaluna-BM get access to Moonlight? Also, regular Ursaluna has to wait around for its flame orb to activate, while Usraluna-BM does not, so if anything it has more immediate power. That said I agree that regular Ursaluna is probably better, and that the given sets still look to me...

Any reason to not run Tailwind? I know it's frail, but there's talk here of Rain Dance, so I figure Tailwind instead (sash if you really think you need it): it helps the team (maybe speed up an edgequaker, given kilowattrel can't be hit by EQ), activates its own ability, and gives it powerful...

I feel like we've grown a little off topic when talking about power levels, but just to throw in my 2 cents, we have to remember that a pokemon's stat spread consists of only 6 numbers, that's it, and there are nearly 1000 pokemon now... so it's dang near impossible to make anything new that...

Been running with Stonjourner in doubles and gotta say he actually works out pretty well. He does not fit into the usual roles and styles you'd expect; as he just outclassed in those easily. Don't underestimate Power Spot. I've been running this with surprising success: Stonjourner (M) @ Focus...

Yeah, like I was sayin' I know it typically sucks, but there's a big difference between theorizing on paper and things actually in motion. For one example, last gen on my charizard-y I ran air slash, solar beam, fire blast, and blast burn. In that case it was more of not really needing anything...

I feel like a lot of folks like to view every new pokemon with their OU glasses on. I like to view little guys like this vegetable wielding duck with a lower bar for them. Like for example I realize moves that require you to 'recharge' like hyper beam, blast burn, and this meteor assault suck in...

Can you Octolock your ally in doubles, then Topsy-Turvy a few turns later to give them a big defense buff? Not practical I don't think, just curious.

Super gimmicky, but since it's going to be NU anyway, why not? Stonjourner @ Leftovers Ability: Power Spot EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpD / 4 Spe Careful Nature IVs: 0 SpA - Rock Slide - Protect - Wide Guard - Stomping Tantrum Basically, in doubles, send out in sand for the SpD boost it gets for being...

On top of 252 EVs and a positive nature, being a rock type it also gets a 50% bonus to Sp. Def in sand. Is that worth anything? I feel like weather is a bit less reliable this gen.

Just realized "Poipole" is like the old timey gangster/Three Stooges way of saying "Purple": "Wise guy, eh? What's with the poipole suit? N'yuck-n'yuck-n'yuck!" And it is a pretty purple pokemon... anyway, looks cool, can't wait to try it out.

Was thinking about that too. Right now my Elective's main/sole use on my team is to switch into electric attacks my other Pokemon would take, so maybe my experience is tainted in that way. Without the speed, 'Vire might take a hit, but can often KO in return, if often just barely, which makes me...

First of all, I love this thing, coolest design ever, would be my new favorite Pokemon if not for it being mythic. Probably even going right on my team to replace Electivire. That said, I don't see this thing being used/much better than Electivire. On the defensive side, they are about the...

Ooooh, got it, knew I had to have been missing something for it not have been mentioned, thanks Querty!

For whatever reason it won't let me post in the Shiinotic thread, so I'll post here. In that thread, no one mentions the move Spotlight. It LOOKS like a really good move, at least for doubles. It has high priority so speed doesn't matter, few pokemon can even learn it, and it causes all attacks...

Ok, the Choice Band w/ Sleep Talk is brilliant. I don't use Choice Band personally, because I feel like it makes the holding Pokemon less fun to use, gives you less options, I've seen it cause a loss many times, and there are other good items worth having to fill your team. But with Komala? I...

Technically wasn't the wrong place, just a click shy of a more specific category, which is fair. Also it's at the top sure, but outside the rest of the list and page numbers, without a label, in a spot ads normally like to hang out, so it doesn't pull the eye, and forums across the net, which...

I just wanted to rant about how great the Poke Pelago is for EV training a sec. I don't see enough talk about it. So the first things I bought with BP was all of the Power Items out of habit, but now that I've started training I kind of regret it. Isle Evelup, once maxed out, gives 4 EVs per...

Speaking of team mates, I plan on having Electivire on my team as well, would Lightningrod still be best, given that I have Motor Drive? Or should I go Rock Head in this case? To phrase this more generally than personally: Would an alternative electric immunity nullify the need for it on...

In that case, the only Surfing Pikachu events in 6th gen were Japanese, and Pikachu's from older gens and to forget surf to be transferd to 6th gen and couldn't relearn it, so unless they release another event, only Japan get's Surfing Raichu-A. :/
