Has it been determined wether or not Zygarde is shiny locked? I've been SR'ing (around 1750 times) and just now heard it could be. Google just says there is a possibility. Do we know 100% one way or another?

OK.Where can I get the Tournament stats?They will be far more useful than the Suspect Ladder is to full of bias for any concrete conclussions.I want to see some real data as it seems some people are claiming to see SVScor practically every game and others might not have seen one in ages...

How about we look at some cold hard numbers taken from the August usage stats (maybe not a complete survey but as close as we can get) and see what we get. WARNING: LONG POST AHEAD NOTE: The following is formatted as such: Pokemon Name (OU usage number) Percentage of Sand Veil out of Total...

Mold Breaker on Soundproof sounds interesting as it could help against Baton Pass teams. However, I think the extra residual from Rough Skin is probably going to be useful more often. Thanks for helping with the set. I will try to see if I like it.

I believe it is sometimes used over HP Fire if you want to deal with Starmie more than Forrtress as you want to deal with Spinners before they Spin. It hits most Taunters harder to I believe.

Has anybody had any success with a double phazing set? Druddigon @ Leftovers/Rugged Helmet Trait: Rough Skin EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SDef (Using DittoCrow's Spread) Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk) - Dragon Tail - Roar - Rest - Sleep Talk Of course you need hazards up for this to do...

I think the idea is to use team preview to aid Zoroark and a partner uber (most likely Palkia) to get some extra hits on target pokes. The general idea seems to be that the opponent will see Zoroark in the team preview. Now you send out a Telepathy Palkia (eample). Since the opponent sees no...

How important is that 14 speed on a bulky DD Dratini?Could you maybe just EV up defenses to max and go for more boosts?Maybe a spread of: 188 HP/4 ATK/76 DEF/196 SP.DEF/36 SPE 23/13/12/9/15/12 So basically +1 HP/+2 Sp.Def (+3 after Eviolite) for a -2 in speed.I'm new to LC and I know 14 is a...

Rockceus with 252 HP/4 Sp.Atk/252 Spe (Standard Mono Attacker) Vs: 0/0 Black Kyurem 84.9%-100.3% (OHKO after SR. High chance with 1 layer of Spikes) 0/4 White Kyurem 77.2%-91% (OHKO after SR) Rockceus does have to watch out when switching in against Kyurem-B as even Jolly Scarf Kyurem-B can...

I've encountered the same problem you have.Ditto makes DDMoxieMence sets really hard to use.Right now any Moxie set that can stand up to its own moves has been doing better for me. MixedMoxieMence with Draco Meteor/Fire Blast/Earthquake/Outrage is doing OK since if I used Meteor they inheret...

You're not too crazy.Kyurem-B entire physical movepool with 70+ Power: Outrage Dragon Claw Fusion Bolt Freeze Shock Return Facade Shadow Claw Stone Edge Rock Slide Iron Head Zen Headbutt Most of those won't hit a valid target at all.Zen Headbutt,Return,and Facade are completely useless.Rock...

A +1 speed Blaziken won't outspeed a Scarf Kyurem anyway if they are both using a speed enhancing nature as Blaziken's base speed is 80. Revenging them could be even more difficult than most people assume.I know a regular Kyurem could survive CB Scizor Bullet Punch and Conkeldurr Mach Punch...

I agree with this post.Kyurem's 2 STABS are actually quite effective in 2 seperate ways.The Dragon STAB grants it great nuetral coverage while Ice provides a lot of SE hits.Once you throw in Focus Blast into the mix you can have great coverage.Is it as good as STAB Water,Fire,Electric, or Ground...

Thanks for the help kidogo!I'll go try some of those things out.Have you ever tried a Pursuit using Deoxys-A?I'm kind of looking for a Pursuit Trapper that is not Scizor or Metagross or Weavile. jackm,You looking for a full stall team or a more balanced approach?Do you want to use weather?Do...

So I was thinking of trying out a CB Deoxys-S as a kind of revenger killer.What I got so far is: Deoxys-S @ Choice Band Jolly 252 Atk/20 Sp.Def/236 Spe - Pursuit - Ice Punch - Superpower The speed hits 500 to outrun ScarfChomp,max attack, and the rest in Sp.Def.What I'm trying to figure out...
