If it keeps saying "Loading" where your nickname should be, try disabling your adblock (Adguard, specifically). I was having the same issue.

I see Machamp as a potential check to all the threatening Steel and Rock types with absurd defenses. STAB No Guard Focus Blast coming off a base 130 attack. That's going to leave a mark. It also has Vacuum Wave for clean-up and Dynamic Punch for mixed attacking. Not many good coverage options...

^You put Dark twice and forgot Psychic. Psychic could probably go under Healer (lots of psychic types get recover) while Ghost could stay mage. Mostly because I just can't accept the idea that Mismagius would not be a mage. I mean come on. Onto the metagame itself, I see stall in general doing...

If I may make a suggestion: wouldn't it be better for Dark to be Rogue and Ghost to be Mage? Otherwise, this would be considered a rogue while this would be considered a mage. That just seems wrong. It would be better for play, too, since there aren't any speedy physical ghost types to take...

Chris Hansen (Magnezone) @ Pinsirite Ability: Magnet Pull EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 8 SpD Modest Nature - Thunderbolt - Flash Cannon - Magic Coat - Tri Attack I've been getting pretty good use out of this Magnezone set. Pinsirite might seem an odd choice on a special attacker, but...

The ending is what puts it over the top for me. I mean I get the rage. Really, I do. But come on. Hax putting your 6-0 down to a 5-1 is not worth forfeiting to...that.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/mixandmega-330632814 I hate everything about this replay.

I've seen a couple other replays from that team before. The plan is to mega evolve Shedinja and switch it out, then bring Carbink to Skill Swap Sturdy with an opponent, which you then send Shedinja in to Trace. It's still an awful lot of work for not much payout considering how common...

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/mixandmega-328435498 Team Goth Dragons gets taken down by a smoking tortoise and a refrigerator.

I feel like Gyaradosite Aerodactyl deserves a ranking. Maybe somewhere around B or B-. Gyaradosite gives it the fastest Moldbreaker Stealth Rocks in the game, as well as STAB on Crunch and the ability to EQ Latiasite Heatran. The lack of a speed boost isn't a problem since its innate speed is...

But Y exists and is plenty amazing in standard OU. So what aside from the addition of Dragon Rush makes X the unstoppable juggernaut that you claim it to be in NGG? Certainly not the increase accuracy of Stone Edge and Head Smash, the increase prevalence of sleep and paralysis, and the overall...

Well, again, I disagree with the premise that High Jump Kick was the problem with Blaziken, so that makes it difficult to answer. So let's take a hypothetical example of something like...Mega Altaria getting Boomburst. I don't think it would be such a crazy notion in that case to consider...

Well if that's how things always have to be done, then so be it. I just think that, in this particular case, banning the move rather than the Pokemon would make less of an impact on the current state of the metagame. And I guess more selfishly, I feel that I would enjoy the metagame more without...

Two things. First, I'd say Mega Kangaskan would be worth banning even without PUP. Second, banning Power-Up Punch would have a much more widespread impact on the game than banning Dragon Rush. There are only a handful of Pokemon that can learn Dragon Rush, while there are many that can learn...

Could we ban Dragon Rush instead? Zard X by itself isn't worthy of a ban. It's just the presence of a no-drawback, 100 BP dragon move with 20% flinch that apparently makes it overpowered. So just get rid of that. We can keep a really good mega around in the metagame and, as a bonus, I can stop...
