Mega Pinsir is good. It can sweep Grass, as well as Fighting. While being the best of the Megas is debatable, it's certainly very strong. I personally use Mega Scizor which is also just as good. Of course, base Scizor can do the same jobs as Mega Scizor, but Mega Scizor has more bulk. In short...

Pokemon Shuffle Mobile's out, so that's where my life's probably gonna go.

Although I agree that Lucario's rank should be a little higher, there are a few mistakes you've made. Lucario's bulk is nowhere near passable. 70/70/70 bulk gets OHKO'd by an unboosted Return from Mega Pinsir. Being neutral to all three of Fighting's weaknesses doesn't mean anything if you...

Hm. Damn. I swore it did. Doesn't change the rank though.

Let's take this one step at a time now. The thing about this set is that there's a lot of things that play the same role better than Bellossom. Mega Sceptile can play the role as a hard hitting special attacker that has more Speed and hits harder without the need to get hit first. Even...

You know your luck sucks when your 3DS breaks as soon as you get Omega Ruby.

At first glance, the Bug type might seem horrible. The first Bugs you'd think of are probably those Route 1 bugs like Caterpie and stuff. Not to mention, weak to Stealth Rocks and weak to the most popular type in the meta, Flying. But a closer look will let you see what Bug can really do. Bug's...

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-192687545 Knowing that this person hates Fire of any kind, it seems that Steel or any other type can easily run through his team because without Fire moves, Poison's kinda screwed against a whole bunch of other types. I wonder why he kept on using...

Really putting that 57 base SpAtk to work there with Braviary. Bounce Sawsbuck is also quite uh...interesting. My only question is why the Breloom didn't have Mach Punch or something. Overall, as you said, a pretty shitty Mono Normal team. Can't complain about free points.

March Break! Time to kick back and watch Yu-Gi-Oh all day!

Of course you're not gonna make a Ferrothorn JUST to be a Togekiss check(key word: check). I feel that Ferrothorn is a very needed Pokemon on a Grass team. It can do so much for a Grass team. I don't feel the need to sing it's praises or anything, but I recommend using it not just for Togekiss...

Ferrothorn is supposed to be used as support. You can Thunder Wave the Togekiss, slowing it down so that you can switch into Mega Venusaur or Breloom which can kill it without worrying about flinches. Or if you like Choice Band Ferrothorn over utility Ferrothorn, Gyro Ball OHKOs Togekiss. 252+...

There are other, albeit, tougher ways of beating Bug with Grass. Skymin may be the most effective way, but it also turned a lot of other match-ups into a mess like Fighting(tfw Inner Focus is actually handy on Gallade). I'd support a Genesect ban, but banning Mega Pinsir is going a bit too far...

Not to mention, this entire thread going a bit off track.

I wonder how Greninja's doing in Ubers.

Exams, why???

Just wanna correct something. Although Terrakion does do a number on Bug, Bug has Sticky Webs, which are incredibly useful against Fighting. It really hates the Speed drop and since ScarfCross is common, it can easily beat Terrakion. Of course, you also have Mega Pinsir which can murder a lot...

As much as I agree with Steel being incredibly hard for Fairy, and that there are some other match-ups that are one-sided, I feel we can't do much about it. How do you think Fairy should deal with Steel without using gimmick sets? By unbanning Mega Mawile and/or Xerneas? Well a lot of us agreed...

Hold on. I should have 4 points right now, right? One from January 2nd, two from January 4th, and one more from January 5th.

Ah, yes. A somewhat generic Steel team. Most people have probably faced a team much like that if they are of higher ladder. So what I suggest you do is try preparing yourself for the counters that people throw at you--C-Team the C-Teamers. For example, people will run more coverage just for...
