  1. np: XY OU Suspect Testing Round 5 - Ghost of Perdition

    No doubt that Aegislash is a threat - I know that I already have 3 sitting in my X version, and could easily rotate them and build a team around any of them. Boasting x/50/150/50/150/x and then x/150/50/150/50/x (can't remember the HP and Speed BS), it's very tricky to counter or even check if...
  2. Resource ORAS OU Simple Questions, Simple Answers (Read the OP First!)

    Is there a comprehensive list of Pokemon in each tier, not just banned Pokemon?

    Although I don't really do Little Cup, it looks like it'd be quite fun to get into. I'll have to do all the research into the rules and such when I get back from my interview this evening, but given a week, I could make a LC-specific team. I've been going really heavy on Singles.

    Considering how far Pokemon has come since Pokemon BF, and how I've come to appreciate Smogon's tiers and metagame, would you like a rematch with fairer tiered Pokemon in X/Y? I feel that win on BF was a tad unbalanced. Plus, y'all need something to upload ;)
  5. Checks and Counters

    Oops, I didn't mean to contradict what you said! Yup, in that case, that's perfectly correct! I must say, you're very good with statistics. Are you using stats from PS or PO or some other mystical source?
  6. Checks and Counters

    I mean that a counter may switch in freely or mid-turn (B has will make a move when A has switched in on that turn) and not be KO'd, where a check can be KO'd, but not always. What I really mean is that a check MUST switch in after a Pokemon has been KO'd or a slow U Turn. I apologise if I'm...
  7. Checks and Counters

    Check: A Pokemon who can come in on a Pokemon at the end of a turn and impede a sweep, but not necessarily stop it. It may be to inflict Burn status or to throw up Rocks and Roar/Whirlwind/Dragon Tail to attempt to prevent the sweep happening. For example, Red Card Gigalith is a good check to...
  8. SwagPlay, evaluating potential bans (basic definition of "uncompetitive" in OP)

    SwagPlay is a tricky situation. As has been said, it's luck based. However, it's also most likely going to work and it's going to hurt. Ban Swagger
