Rotom getting access to Defog is pretty cool actually, especially for Mowtom since it forces out the bulky ground types that set up rocks without much issue and can't be spore'd by Smeargle. Outside of the army of defoggers and the large Kommo-o buff however, I'm a bit disappointed. I was hoping...

Personally I don't find Mega Latias by itself to be unmanageable or broken, but rather it makes dealing with Latias in general a lot more difficult because it's one of the very few megas that doesn't straight up outclass the original mon but instead provides it a whole new arsenal of viable sets...

I feel like Scizor is kinda a difficult subject to approach when it comes to the question of how healthy it is in the meta because for a long while it wasn't really an issue. When it first dropped most people ran band or bulky SD sets which were good but easy enough to manage, and plenty of...

Breloom sounds like another very powerful tool for VoltTurn teams to abuse, Rotom-W would love having such a powerful Grass type to help deal with Gastrodon and Seismitoad, while Scizor and M-Manectric also benefit from Brelooms ability to deal with Hippo: 252+ Atk Life Orb Technician Breloom...

I'll toss my vote to TSR as well since TSpikes alone puts in a lot of work against the team, although giving Altaria a max powered Facade sounds mildly terrifying if not done carefully. Frankly I found this weeks team is just annoyingly well designed when it comes to breaking stuff. Rotom and...

Bringing back an old ORAS core for this week. Aggron-Mega @ Aggronite Ability: Filter EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 SpD Careful Nature - Heavy Slam - Curse - Toxic - Rest Sylveon @ Leftovers Ability: Pixilate EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD Bold Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Hyper Voice - Protect - Wish -...

Alright, thank you for the clarification. I suppose I've just been over thinking the effectiveness of my cores and trying to hard to cover as many sets as possible, which probably explains why I have such a difficult time with team building now that I think about.

There's actually something I've been wondering about in relation to the topic of how the cores we submit function against the team of the week and how the cores function against the rest of the meta, and now seems like decent time to bring up my question so bear with me as I ramble on a little...

I'm honestly more of the mindset that Weavile, while not doing the meta any favors, isn't the main issue with UU right now. I never had much of a problem with it before the drops and I see it's current unhealthy effect on the tier more of a byproduct of the trends going on right now, VoltTurn...

& Sceptile-Mega @ Sceptilite Ability: Lightning Rod EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Leaf Blade - Dragon Claw - Earthquake - Swords Dance Tentacruel @ Black Sludge Ability: Liquid Ooze EVs: 248 HP / 240 Def / 20 Spe Bold Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Scald - Sludge Wave - Rapid Spin - Haze...

...Admittedly, jumping on the Mandibuzz bandwagon was pretty lazy and shameful on my part. So I'll give credit where credit is due and vote for Sparrow since he was the first to submit a core using the mon, it was a great idea man and I apologize for being a leech. I got a bit too caught up in...

It's not just Cobalion that gets a free switch in against Umbreon, things like Gliscor, Klefki, and just about any defensive mon that doesn't care about Toxic reduce Umbreon to little more then the teams meatshield/cleric as long as said mons are alive, their the reason why UU stopped using...

I think how offensive the current meta is why both sides have the same argument, due to how effective VoltTurn and wallbreakers are right now Weaviles usual fat answers are a lot less appealing to use, but still viable. Scizor for example likes to go offensive to reliably KO big threats like...

Can I just use Umbreon and Mantine again? ♥ Papalax (Snorlax) (M) @ Iapapa Berry Ability: Gluttony EVs: 188 HP / 176 Def / 144 SpD Careful Nature - Curse - Recycle - Facade - Earthquake Mamabuzz (Mandibuzz) (F) @ Leftovers Ability: Overcoat EVs: 248 HP / 204 Def / 56 Spe Impish Nature - Foul...

Friday-Wednesday gets my vote, but you can just go with whatever fits your schedule best Dingbat, it's no skin off my back.

storm eagle Good lord man that's a long post, but for as long as it is you've kinda skimmed over some rather important details. ''While it's true that Weavile can easily revenge kill your Pokemon, Weavile itself is revenge killed easier than any other Pokemon in UnderUsed'' Pretty sure that...

Agreeing with Tera Melos and Cookees, Smeargle wasn't really something I wanted to tackle. And aside from that, I imagine a good number of people just took a break from UU after all the insane drops we got, the meta was thrown into chaos which made it hard to know what sets were even worth...

Voting for TSR's core. While I'm normally not a big fan of [insert type here] spam, Infernape and Coba seem like a fairly effective duo for breaking teams in the current meta due to how uncommon pure walls are (Although that might change soon now that rachi is gone), along side breaking this...

Since I made the nomination for Nihilego to be ranked at B- I shall explain my reasoning behind the choice a little better since both you and Dingbat have thought it a bit too low. First off, the B rank is home to some fairly important staples for a couple of team archetypes, namely Blissey and...
