Marshadow is disgusting. I think the mixed LO and Bulk Up Marshadium Z sets are going to be the staples for sure. 7 Star Strike hits ridiculously hard especially at +1, ohkoing things like toxapex after hazards. Both sets are damn near unwallable and technician boosted SS is always a threat to...

Thanks everyone for the replies! After some thought, I agree with everyone regarding the Lando-T set. I'll be changing it to the defensive set. Although I think I'll keep lefties rather than Rocky Helmet, since the passive recovery is much more useful than U-Turn punishing IMO. Charliax...

Hey guys! I wanted to post this team up here to get some quality opinions. To give a little backstory, this is a very old team that I made during the late XY era (i believe around August 2014). It originally was meant to be a fun gimmick based around my favorite mons from my favorite generation...

7 & 2

Offensive Core: The basic premise of this core is to SD priority spam the opponent to death. In all seriousness though, Crawdaunt is a fantastic wall breaker and pairs very nicely with talonflame, who acts as a cleaner after the right holes have been knocked through the opponent's team...

Not gonna lie, I read the title of the thread and immediately thought "Really? I wasn't expecting MSableye to get tested next." Needless to say, I assumed wrong haha. This should be interesting to say the least. I'll withhold my judgment until I see what Giratina's presence does for the metagame.

Metagrossite: Do Not Ban

Confirming as This is Clock Belt #278 halfway down the page

I love how some of these pro-ban arguments say that he is too bulky to reliably check (ignoring the numerous, numerous checks listed throughout this thread), yet also somehow isn't bulky enough to check fairies so his presence isn't relevant in that sense. Also loving how the "broken checking...

On a side note, I second the notion for having a more flexible strategy to balancing the metagame; it is much harder to simply ban enough mons to stabilize the meta when there are massive mid-gen updates that throw dozens of new threats into the tier. 6th gen is kind of setting a precedent with...

Just putting it out there, a single layer of spikes are to Metagross what Stealth Rocks / Sand are to Dragonite in terms of losing bulk. All those OHKOs that it narrowly avoids because of its "monstrous" bulk are all of a sudden likely KOs. This includes hits from things like Lando-T...

Yea well, you know, thats just, like, uh, your opinion, man. :P In all seriousness though, I enjoy the post-Greninja metagame and don't see a need for MMetagross to go. I'm not gonna ban something that isn't broken/overcentralizing, so that I can ban other things that aren't...

Ok, so after finally achieving the reqs to vote, I think I'm prepared to voice my opinion on this suspect. First, I would like to clarify that I do not believe metagross is "broken" (this doesn't really mean that it shouldn't be banned, but I will get to that later). There have been numerous...

Just clarifying that the calc is for non mega bro because non mega bro is the only one eating up GK, so you wouldn't want to evolve right away. And besides, MBro is only preferred because of its ability to deal with the rest of the metagame, not metagross itself. Fair enough on that point, hence...

The slowbro was actually for it to be using its mega form, I was just offering the rocky helmet as an alternative for more chipping. I believe SpD MegaBro saw some use in early ORAS as a fantastic mixed tank, helping it deal with other things like keldeo. In that way, Lando-T will never 2 shot...

I don't really want to say too much, as I want to get my rating up on the ladder first to actually qualify and to get experience on a Meta-less meta, but as of now I'm leaning towards letting Metagrossite stay in OU. Metagross is definitely the top tier right now, but I don't think it is...

A Physical bait set with EQ to take out heatran could definitely work, but the special set probably wouldn't do too well. EDIT: What he^ said basically

While I'm on this Serperior binge, I think I wanna suggest another core for you to work on after my first one. @ Charizardite Y Ability: Drought EVs: 180 Atk / 76 SpA / 252 Spe Rash Nature - Dragon Dance/Fire Blast/Roost/Flame Charge (lol) - Flare Blitz - Earthquake - Hidden Power [Ice]...

Just putting it out there that I didn't see that rule and I'm not offended so we can all move on lol. And so this post isn't a waste, Brazilian Army I would definitely recommend some type of fighting resist for that core, otherwise drain punches, CCs, and mach punches are going to hurt your core...
