I updated my post on the viability ranking thread with Sylveon's write-up.

Going to reserve Sylveon. Gary2346 Sylveon is one of Generation VI's new additions to the Fairy-type. As one of the lucky Pokemon who received the coveted typing, Sylveon has many useful tools at its disposal. Its high Sp. Def., decent HP, and access to Wish and Heal Bell make it a usable...

The problem with banning Scolipede is that a lot of people think that Scolipede is only broken when used in Baton Pass teams, which, theoretically, causes unnecessary collateral damage. Which is why again I bring up this question I posted in the previous page: is Scolipede broken outside of...

I believe Kairyu_Gen1 brought it up earlier in this thread as a potential solution to this debate, but I'd like to expand on it and bring forth the possibility of Scolipede as a suspect for its support capabilities. From the Portrait of an Uber thread: Now, I'm aware that these characteristics...

While it doesn't disqualify you from debating in this thread, you have to test these counters against both BP and non-BP teams. Ideally there should be a good sample size of wins and losses using these counters, but it looks like it won't be easy to gather that kind of data. You're not going to...

Then we go back to the overcentralizing argument. Honestly this is getting kind of circular. I see the merit in your position that we should let the metagame develop, but I believe this thread exists to address the fact that the projected development of the metagame is undesirable, if we let the...

I wasn't implying this either. I think the problem is how exactly are you going to counter them as individuals? No other team archetype is so reliant on team play than Baton Pass, to the point that countering just one individual is an uphill battle. Baton Pass chains are so good at preserving...

I'm going to try my hand at writing Zapdos's. Making a return to OU is Zapdos; while its typing suggests that it faces competition from Thundurus, Zapdos has enough at its disposal to stand up against OU's many threats. Zapdos's stats allow it to take a more defensive role compared to...

Haze isn't a win condition, it's a temporary stop. Even if you manage to keep your Haze user alive, you're asking one Pokemon to take on six members of a team all at once, which is too much of a strain on teambuilding, i.e., overcentralizing. In your signature you list down a bunch of Pokemon...

Ah well, since alexwolf says discussion for every theorymon is allowed, then I'll talk about some sets: Kyurem: Kyurem @ Choice Scarf Ability: Snow Warning EVs: 4 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Modest / Timid Nature - Blizzard - Focus Blast - Earth Power - Draco Meteor The appeal of this set is...

Snow Warning Kyurem - If I'm not mistaken, Chesnaught's reasoning for his submission was to increase the viability of hail? If that's so, I don't think having another hail setter will give the archetype a boost; it doesn't fix the fact that hail abusers are all Ice-type, which as we all know is...

Hello. I started LC last week under macle's tutoring, thanks to the Battling 101 program. I go under the same name in PS! (deepbluejeer). I'm fairly experienced in OU but this is the first time I've stepped out of that tier. I'm actually surprised at how similar it looks to OU. macle pointed me...
