Offensive Core Celebi @ Leftovers Ability: Natural Cure EVs: 176 HP / 252 SpD / 80 Spe Calm Nature - Nasty Plot - Giga Drain - Baton Pass - Recover Camerupt @ Cameruptite Ability: Solid Rock -> Sheer Force EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpA Quiet Nature - Fire Blast - Earth Power - Rock Slide -...

I'll slash it with Swords Dance. IMO SD is the better set (boosting gives it a niche over Swampert/Kingdra) but, since we're trying to make it as close to Swampert as possible, Low Kick should probably be in mentioned.

Seismitoad fills a different than M-Swampert (special sweeper vs. physical sweeper) and is heavily outclassed by Kingdra in that role anyways. A better comparison to M-Swampert would be Kabutops, which I'll do a writeup for in a sec. Edit: Name: Kabutops Replaces: M-Swampert Moveset: Kabutops...

Bronzong @ Leftovers Ability: Levitate EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD Sassy Nature IVs: 0 Spe - Stealth Rock - Gyro Ball - Earthquake - Toxic / Trick Room Role: Hazard setter/Support Bronzong's typing and ability give it two immunities and a whopping 9 resistances. This gives it many...

What? I've had a lot of success with Sp. Def Unaware, especially on stall teams, with both SR/Heal Bell and Wish sets. I know, personal experience means nothing, but someone tell me I'm not taking crazy pills here.

Nominating this stud. FLARE BLITZ GG ...just kidding. Diggersby @ Choice Scarf Ability: Huge Power EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Return - Earthquake - Knock Off - U-Turn Scarf Diggersby is an underrated sweeper, combining a super Attack stat with good coverage and a...

Eek. My mind is stuck in an era in which Psychic resists Poison. Anyways, Reuni's best neutral coverage option would probably be Shadow Ball. 4 SpA Reuniclus Shadow Ball vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Greninja: 93-110 (32.6 - 38.5%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Stealth Rock suspect pls ...So it should probably...

Volt Switch/AV Reuniclus might become the best answer to Ninja in the metagame tbh. 216 SpA Life Orb Greninja Dark Pulse vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Assault Vest Reuniclus: 151-182 (35.6 - 42.9%) -- guaranteed 3HKO 4 SpA Reuniclus Focus Blast vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Greninja: 278-328 (97.5 - 115%) -- 81.3%...

All of those mons absolutely destroy Chansey. If anything, the new slate of Megas has made Chansey less effective against both offense and stall alike -- the offensive Megas smack it around while Sableye and Slowbro can set up on it easy.

boltsandbombers reserved Megabro before I reserved this, but I felt the playstyles used were different enough to give it a whirl. COUNTER Slowbro @ Leftovers Ability: Regenerator EVs: 176 HP/252 Def/84 SpA Bold Nature - Scald - Psyshock/Ice Beam - Fire Blast - Slack Off While not being able...

Replying to some of the points made: 252+ Atk burned Gyarados Waterfall vs. 176 HP / 0 Def Camerupt: 270-318 (83 - 97.8%) -- 62.5% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock 252+ Atk Huge Power burned Azumarill Waterfall vs. 176 HP / 0 Def Camerupt: 306-362 (94.1 - 111.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO after...

for B -> C+ Rank The camel is an absolute nuke, but it has mediocre bulk, two awful weaknesses (Water/Ground) and no recovery to help it out. This makes Camerupt very hard to switch in, as with a bit of prior damage it gets killed by strong neutral attacks such as Talonflame's Brave Bird and...

Spikes offense and SR offense are two completely different things. It's not fair to just say "this lead is better because it gets rocks." Spikes offense can be better if you have good bird checks elsewhere on your team, and it's easier to fit SR somewhere in the other five team slots. "Waste of...

How do you guys feel about Suicide Lead Ninja? Greninja @ Focus Sash Ability: Protean EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid/Naive Nature - Spikes - Hydro Pump - Ice Beam / Whatever coverage attack you want - Taunt Its speed allows it to get off 2 layers of Spikes at will, Taunt is there to annoy...

No doubt. I still think there are ways a separate ranking could help, but I might send you a PM once the ORAS dust settles and I can find time to make a composed, concise argument for it. Back on topic, I'm cosigning Mew to B+ rank. Stallbreaker Mew's Achilles heel is Magic Bounce, and ORAS...

If Medicham is going to have a niche over Gallade, it would have to come from its access to Recover. Double priority isn't a great niche, especially since Lopunny and MMeta probably do their one priority better than Medicham does both. This set has a lot of problems (burns, Talonflame), but I...

This is complete theorymonning (theorymodding?) but at this point, the OU game is so Mega-focused that I believe Megas should have their own viability ladder. My rationale here is that most teams not only feature a Mega, but are built around their megas. Putting a team-defining threat like...

You're 23, not 53. You have more than enough time to change your body and fix your bad habits if you want to. Exercising is the easiest thing in the world -- you just need to set aside 30 minutes a day for solid cardio and you'll see improvement in no time. Oh, and as someone who also smokes...
