That appears to be the case. From the OP:

Maybe, but there isn't really a type that Water needs any special help against that a Fairy coverage move would help with. Well, dragon, but I think we can reasonably doubt dragons being a problem that early on. I wouldn't argue a Water/Fairy final is #confirmed, though. It might just get a lot...

There's a hell of a lot of comments here, so forgive me if this has been covered, but did anyone else notice that Litten kind of looks like a ninja? Specifically the patterns on its head. If that continues to the final, we could have another Fire/Fighting, but Fire/Dark is also completely...

I vote for marilli because their team is almost identical to the one I built but ended up not posting because marilli's was almost identical. Also because Scyther + Sneasel + Typh is cool and fun.

Ice Punch and Ice Beam are identical if you go Sassy instead of Careful, and they're both 2HKOs regardless. Edit: Identical against SpD Gliscor** 0 Atk Tyranitar Ice Punch vs. 244 HP / 0 Def Gliscor: 228-272 (64.7 - 77.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Poison Heal 0 SpA Tyranitar Ice Beam vs. 244...

Scarf Primeape could revenge kill, but it can really only switch in once. Virizion's Close Combat has a decent chance to ohko after rocks. Heliolisk almost ohkos just with Volt Switch, which is what it will almost always use. And any decent player seeing you switch a healthy Primeape in will...

I completely forgot I was supposed to be doing this this week, I've been spending all of my time on a side project. But I did manage to get a few games in last weekend. Overall, I'd echo Pokedots, so I won't be too verbose here. But I will expand on Quagsire and Mawile, because I used two kind...

Are you available to do our battle for the NU Save the Metagame tourney?

I'll take all of them. Alt: ArcaResearcher7

I don't think any of the Pokemon you mention are actual counters. The only ones that can switch into an attack are Ferrothorn and Skarmory, both of which are easily killed with Fire Blast (and Skarmory is also broken by Hydro Pump). Greninja is OHKOd. It can only check if it's carrying an...

It's possible. GameFreak does a lot of Japan-only events, so it wouldn't be unusual for some countries to not be able to participate in an event. For example, the Pokemon Scrap stuff Serebii talked about today. As far as we know, that's Japan-only right now.

Minor nitpick, but you have 512 EVs there.

I haven't played a Wifi battle this generation, so I might be wrong, but isn't there still an issue of how the XY player would perceive the Mega Evolution? Perhaps it was written to ignore unrecognized animation cues, I don't know. Edit: You guys might be right. I just think it's sloppy for...
