  1. 3v3 Singles Metagame Discussion Thread [The Pentagon is back!!]

    ^ I'm not quite sure but that gets brought up in the Korean forums every season. It is from a twitter account that gets a lot of stats from PGL. I will look or the twitter account. Found it! https://twitter.com/nouthuca

    http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sKO6gtYmBNk/VajfaogD5rI/AAAAAAAACV0/T92dw2WaArs/s1600/KPS10_01.png this is the BS singles usage stats for various rating blocks. For 1800 and above ratings, things like garchomp and blaziken went down quite a bit in usage compared to the last season. Stuff like Mega...
  3. Mega Salamence [Singles] [QC:0/3]

    I know this may sound silly but giga impact does ridiculous amount of damage. On a set with, say, naughty 252atk/252spe/4hp -double-edge- -draco meteor -giga impact -earthquake I was catching things like porygon2 and cresselia off guard by doing ridiculous amount of damage with giga...

    Thanks!

    So the council saw garchomp to be just as metagame-defining/influential, overall, as mega kangaskhan and mega gengar? Either way, thank you very much for the work. Sorry, I did not se rhyperior in the ranking already.
  6. Battle Spot Singles Viability Rankings!

    I think most people that posted about garchomp on this thread has ageed on garchomp being in S, alongside mega gengar and kangkhan. My initial belief was that mega gengar and kangaskhan were significantly more metagame defining than garchomp. That being said, I may have misjudged just how...
  7. Battle Spot Singles Viability Rankings!

    After much thought, I think garchomp is genuinely better than mega salamence overall for the repeatedly mentioned reasons why garchomp is so good. I also think garchomp is just as good, overall, as mega kangaskhan and gengar.
  8. Battle Spot Singles Viability Rankings!

    I just want some clarification. For those that want garchomp to be in S, do you want it to be in the same tier as mega kangaskhan and gengar? Or do you want the creation of a higher tier, such as SS, for mega kangaskhan and gengar to be bumped up into? I don't particularly have an opinion on...
  9. Battle Spot Singles Viability Rankings!

    I agree with this. While garchomp is significantly better than the rest of A+, barring mega salamence, it is arguably the 3rd most influential pokemon in the game. Though its dominance isn't as big as mega kangaskhan and mega gengar, imo, I believe its versatility and easiness to fit into...
  10. Mega Salamence [Singles] [QC:0/3]

    I've seen spA-oriented mixed mence A LOT recently...well...a lot of mega salamences in general. While hyper voice is significantly weaker than...say double edge, it catches quite a few people off guard it seems like as they usually bring out physically bulky pokemons to take hits from mega...

    Garchomp for S With some recent flash discussions in the IRC chat regarding sand veil garchomp, it got me interested. Prior to the test, I believed sand veil to be an inferior ability to rough skin. I thought SV-abusing SD garchomp would be an absolute garbage that happens to be too slow, too...

    Thanks for the info. But that's the place that says mega mence is in episode x. But when I check it out, I only see it in one of those 50-second preview-like clips. Maybe that's just it. Thanks.
  13. Sticky Have a question? Ask it here! (NOT SM QUESTIONS)

    1) What's the episode where mega salamence and pidgeot/mega pidgeot battle? 2) What's the episode where mega salamence and mega charizard x battle? It seems like mega evolution special act 2 or 3 is it but I was only able to find preview/intro/whatevever that is only ~50 second long. Is there a...
  14. Battle Spot Singles Viability Rankings!

    ^I understand that. Hence, I said usage =/= power in my earlier post. However, in the case of garchomp, I believe his versatility far exceeds the simple notion of filling in many roles. Garchomp fills in too many ways too easily. I view him as somewhat like scizor of gen 4 but with more set...
  15. Battle Spot Singles Viability Rankings!

    I'd like to nominate Garchomp for S. This may be a very unpopular opinion and I'm a very new smogon user but I figured I give it a try at least. While garchomp isn't mega Kang, it is a metagame-defining pokemon due to its near omnipotence and ridiculously high usage from low to high ratings...
  16. 3v3 Singles Metagame Discussion Thread [The Pentagon is back!!]

    Olijolly and ethan, I nderstand. I just wanted to be wrong in this case so I can see megas that aren't Kang, Gengar, and Salamence (blaziken as well). I pretty never see special salamence-mega or special blaziken-mega. I've probably seen like less than 10 for the former and...2 for the latter.
  17. 3v3 Singles Metagame Discussion Thread [The Pentagon is back!!]

    I'm sure everyone is tired of seeing the number-1 pokemon Garchomp on battlespot, regardless of what your rating is. It's for a good reason as it is one of the best pokemons. I consider it a top-3 battlespot singles pokemon, along with Kangaskhan-mega and Gengar-mega. Its sash, CB, scarf, as...

    What's the most dominant mega-salamence set at the moment? Is it the jolly natured 252atk/252spe DD set?

    I'm sorry Olijolly. But it's pretty obvious majority of the people just don't see dragonite as an A- material. Almost everyone on the forums and the IRC channel said dragonite was good in B+ and that it shouldn't get a promotion. The advantages it has isn't enough to boost it to a tier filled...
