EDIT: Gah. How on earth did Diggersby outspeed my team while at the same time killing them in one hit. Even with Choice Scarf on his Attack power isn't too spectacular. I read somewhere that Smogon banned him. Why is that? EDIT#2: Oh. Choice Scarf + Huge Power + Jolly. No wonder I lost.

Male Meowstic is decent as a support set since it gets the coveted Prankster ability, but even then it's usually tossed away in favor of Klefki in that regard. Female Meowstic is also outclassed in a Calm Mind/Sweeper role by Espeon since Espeon gets direct status immunity from Magic Bounce and a higher SpA stat, as well as good coverage options. Diggersby isn't banned from OU, but it was banned from UU, the third highest tier behind OU and Ubers (though I don't really consider Ubers a tier). |

Just because something sucks doesn't mean you can't use it. It's more fun tbh. I like using stuff like cacturne.

Reuniclus gets Magic Guard, it doesn't take damage from Life Orb. If you're going to use TR Reuni on your team you'll want at least two other TR setters who can function as sweepers. Gallade, Chandelure and Victini are killer under TR which they can set themselves. A good defensive setter would be Pory2 (don't know too much about TR, only have one team and I suck at it). Also don't underestimate the damage from Life Orb; it's a 30% increase in raw damage - that's a lot. Oh, and Espeon and Sylveon (aka 2 cutest pokemon) are actually really strong if you really want that. Sylveon is one of the greatest Special walls in the whole game alongside AV Tyranitar and the pink blobs, while Espeon gets the rare Magic Bounce which is an absolute godsend against hazards and status. |

Yeah Sylveon can't be beat as a special wall. I usually just run Moonblast, Wish, Protect, and Healbell basically as a support poke. For some reason I usually see a Florges here and there, but Florges is outclassed by Sylveon pretty much.

Pixilate Hyper Voice is better than Moonblast. Hits through subs and does a lot more damage. Blissey and Chansey are better special walls, but the amount of versatility as a Wish passer and offensive presence Sylveon makes it better in most teams imo.

Today I did it... I completed my Pokedex of all 718 Pokemon. Received the Shiny Charm, Round Charm, and 4 Certificates hung in my character's room. It took a lot of trading, breeding, and catching, but it was well worth it. EDIT: Also faced a guy today who triple battled me with Mega Latios, Diancie, Zapdos, Lugia, Mewtwo, and Kyogre. I surprisingly beat him, but was mad that he used two non-released things with a full team of legendaries against me.

Time to take a long break from this game. Rating battles are a lot different than Free Battles.

Just gonna say, IMO Powder is OP. I mean, it totally covers up Vivillon's obvious weakness to fire, and punishes those who hastily go for that fire move with out considering it. Speaking of Vivillon, any collectors out there got a Monsoon Pattern? I'm looking to trade my local Vivillon pattern for it. |

Greninja @ Focus Slash/Life Orb Nature: Timid Ability: Protean 5IVs (-ATK) Moveset: Dark Pulse, Grass Knot, Surf, Ice Beam Overall a good lead Pokemon. I usually start out with Life Orb in the first 30 rounds or so and switch to Focus Sash when the enemies start getting faster and tougher. ------------------------ Garchomp @ Garchompite Nature: Jolly Ability: Rough Skin 6IVs Moveset: Dragon Claw, Fire Fang, Rock Slide, Earthquake Garchomp helps a lot against electric types so that's mainly why I use him. ------------------------ Scizor @ Choice Band Nature: Adamant Ability: Technician 5IVs (-SP. ATK) Moveset: Bullet Punch, Swords Dance, X-Scissor, U-Turn Scizor always saves my ass against wall Pokemon that have the fewest weaknesses and from that pesky Weavile which is why I love him. tl;dr I don't know what to do against these legends. My team was fine up until that point. |
