    been away from the game for a long time but what makes aegislash and blaziken not only OU, but also not S or even A in viability this gen?

    Council most likely won't suspect anything for the long foreseeable future. OU meta right now is highly stable and council exists to maintain the stability so freeing stuff that can potentially destroy the stability isn't in their interest.
  3. Project Threats to OU Cores v2: Round 72: Mega Charizard X + Ash-Greninja

    Medicham @ Medichamite Ability: Telepathy EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Fake Out - High Jump Kick - Ice Punch - Zen Headbutt Medi probably shouldnt try to 1v1 Celes but Celepex cant stop Medi from wallbreaking. Medi can also break the Grass-type (Mega-Venu, Amoonguss, Tangrowth)...

    Cause the absolute best Pokemon in OU hard, really really hard counters it
  5. Resource USUM OU ULTRA Viability Ranking Thread

    To B- Kingdra fits on only 1 team archetype: rain and it functions there as a sweeper/ wallbreaker. However, it struggles to break/ sweep consistently. First, balance teams now heavily utilise fully SpD Toxapex, which can eat any hit from Kingdra then recover or pivot accordingly. Second...
  6. Ultra Sun & Moon OU Analysis Discussion

    On Celesteela's analysis: This should be removed entirely since offensive sets are not in the least bit viable so why mention it? Zygarde and other Ground-types (which are Lando-T and the very uncommon Chomp) can break through those 3 grass types but i'd say it's an uphill battle for...

  11. Metagame USUM Memetagame Discussion was a mistake

    Buzzwole @ Life Orb Ability: Beast Boost EVs: 248 HP / 224 Atk / 36 Spe Adamant Nature - Drain Punch - Ice Punch - Earthquake - Roost This is the Buzzwole set i've had most success using. The Speed EV is to outspeed 176 Spe Tyranitar and OHKO with Drain Punch and therefore...
  12. OU Mega Altaria (Revamp)

    Since "this shits unviable w/o zone" and uninvested Fire blast/ EQ OHKOs none of the Steel types that check it while they Heavy Slam/ Gyro Ball/ Toxic/ Flash Cannon/ Taunt/ Leech Seed/ Thunder Wave/ etc it to death so mono Fairy for attacking isn't the worst thing tbh. Only real use for Fire...

    Why is Mega Blaziken better than regular Blaziken? Regular hits harder with LO and can use Z move?
  14. Ultra Sun & Moon OU Analysis Discussion

    Mega Camerupt's page says "The given Speed and Special Attack investment allows Mega Camerupt to outspeed and OHKO standard Toxapex" but standard pex now is 248HP / 252+ SpD and Mega Camerupt definitely doesn't kill that 252+ SpA Sheer Force Camerupt-Mega Earth Power vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD...
  15. OU Azumarill (Perish Trap)

    This set can check and eliminate Volcarona quite reliably so that should be mentioned
  16. Project USUM OU Victim of the Week [Week 49: Dragon Dance Gyarados]

    Mega-scizor as counter Scizor @ Scizorite Ability: Light Metal EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD Impish Nature - Defog - U-turn - Bullet Punch - Roost Take pitiful damage from Stakataka? Check Recovery? Check U-turn for momentum? Check Easy to fit on a team? Check Basically there's nothing...
  17. OU Kartana (Revamp)

    Shouldn't Mega Venusaur be named specifically in Checks and Counters? If a shaky check at best like Volcarona gets a name drop in C&C than Mega Venu deserves same thing. And under bulky grass type, I think tangrowth WITHOUT HP fire should be mentioned to caution people that it's not a check to...
