You got me while I was editing to add something else w/e. +2 252 Atk Kartana Smart Strike vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Latias: 319-376 (87.6 - 103.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock > can outspeed and kill but aint surviving a hit so NS isnt relevant +2 252 Atk Kartana Smart Strike vs. 252 HP /...

Maybe add Pyukumuku on that list ?

Wouldn't a Support/Utility set be workable ? It has great mixed bulk, arguably one of the best defensive types in the game and its 135 SAtk allows it not to be setup bait. It also can heal semi-reliably with Pain Split and cripple opponents with Thunder Wave. It can also pivot with Volt Switch...

This so much, I made a post like half a year ago explaining how good that thing is, it can soak up a surprising amount of stuff, and the array of threats he blocks differs widely depending on the set he's running : Physically Defensive RestTalk is a good answer to stuff like Keldeo (Who can't do...

I probably oversold amph yeah lol, but unless it's SUBCM, can Keldeo really plow through Ampharos ? Also Megagross is known for having not a lot of reliable switchins that can really hamper it, hence why I mentionned why Volt Switch made it so good, allowing for stuff such as, idk, Scarfchomp to...

So why precsely has Ampharos dropped ? I made a long post (here it is, again http://www.smogon.com/forums/posts/6020820/ ) summing up why it's a viable andd good answer to a lot of commn threats and yet it still dropped without any explanation. Also Ampharos counters Keldeo and is a solid...

Is there any reason as to why Ampharos dropped ? I made a post a week ago or so explaining why's it's good (not Very Good or Excellent, but at the very least on the level of C+ mons.) and didn't see a lot of reaction against it, mainly because people underuse it. Here's the post in question ...

zim pls

Ditto's predictability is precisely what gives it a niche, it's pretty much a guarantee your opponent wont try to setup, now I'm with you when you say it's a little bit too high, but I'd say it shouldn't go lower than D.

I've been waiting since ORAS release for someone to bring it up but whatever. After having used Mega Ampharos extensively since XY's release, (In fact that's pmuch the only Mega I used in my good teams) I believe Ampharos deserves to raise in B-/B, as his defensive sets checks/counters a lot...

2 grass moves are legit on that thing since LS has only 8 PPs, Giga Drain works well in cunjunction with Life Orb so it can stay longer on the field while saving the PPs for another time, especially since even +4/+6 giga drain is brutal as fuck. also HP Fire is the best option imo since you...

I dunno about Ferro, but keep in mind that the amount of Pokes running coverage just for it (Well, and Zor/Skarm.) shows how a threat it is and how it needs to be taken care of, since it can do so much by itself if not taken into account, hence more or less justifying the A+. Slowbro/Amoongus...

Mawile can break stall relatively easily with only a few Pokes that can counter it (Defensive Zard pretty much is the only thing coming to my mind atm.) and isn't that hard pressed by Offenses because of that typing and bulk allowing him to come, and, if not already done, Mega Evolve (Courtesy...

It probably will, at this point she's just food for MGar, well, for others STagers as a whole. I'm not really fond of uber but the few games I played really showed me that the uber meta was gravitating around Gar/STag, around who could remove the other's check/counter to his main finisher and...

Oh, okay, thanks for clarifying that. (Haven't noticed it's blacklisted, so yeah, let's avoid any other debate about it.)

Out of curiosity, can someone explain me quickly why Mantine's D rank ? What's its niche now that Aegislash's banned ?

That's because Flash Cannon's JP name does not have Ball/Bomb in its name whearas stuff like Focus Blast does.

I do believe that if banning a signature move can enable a, let's be honest, very interesting Pokemon to fare well in OU, it can/should be banned, I don't know if Aegislash is broken without KS, but I think it's worth giving it a shot tbh.

I'll probably repeat the same thing as the 27 other pages of opinions says but w/e : I'd lean toward a ban tbh, as there's a ton of reasons why Aegislash is just too much for the OU : -First - but not the least - it's stats. 60/150/150/150/150/60, even if they are a pseudo-720 BST, these stats...

Play Rough, Dazzling Gleam, Moonblast, and Pixilate Hyper Voice are easily some of the best STABs you could ask for, it's similar to Shadow Ball, as it only has 3 Types resisting it : Fire (Aside from Heatran, the occasionnal Victini and Charizard Y, the other ones in OU are or quite frail, or...
