So, this is my first real post on the site since the long break I took (excluding a few PS technical issues I reported). After taking a few months off to focus on a really difficult semester at university, I came back to PS a couple months ago. Since then, I've come across this core, which is an...

Something similar to the above seems to be happening with me. I took a screencap of it so you can see exactly what is happening. 1. Operating System: Windows XP SP3 2. Browser: Firefox 3. Tried Browsers: Chrome and Explorer - Same screen came up. 4. Problem Started: The problem started some...

Yeah, first of all, while your format is...interesting, it's not the format typically used on this site. I don't know why the random numbers are there, but they've got to go. Also, you need descriptions of what your Pokemon do on your team, why you picked them, how they help the team function as...

So, your argument is that the meta is stale right now, so we need to add something to the meta that will cause the meta to be centralized around it, dictating what will be on everyone's teams just as surely as whatever's good in the current meta does? Well, that'll liven the meta up a bit...for...

You can take Mega Metagross, Mega Altaria, and Mega Lopunny off that list for sure. From what I've seen on the suspect ladder (while I've only played a couple matches, I've actually watched a bunch), all three of these are as good as ever, and are now packing Aegislash on their teams to help...

Uh, in case you're not aware, Starmie was UU the whole time while Aegislash was around, and while Aegislash wasn't the sole perpetrator behind this (since it took until Greninja was banned for Starmie to regain its full usefulness), it was certainly one of the big things that kept Starmie down...

Yeah, I'm not sure that video's a good demonstration. Your opponent was using quite a few Pokemon that are either unviable or barely viable in OU. Your opponent's team composition didn't make a lot of sense in many ways actually. It was seriously lacking in synergy, and I didn't see any type of...

They both have a good chance of losing to variants running Sacred Sword, though. In fact, from the few matches I've seen on the suspect ladder so far that actually involved Aegi, Sacred Sword may be one of its best moves (at least for offensive variants) for this meta, since it does pretty well...

Lol, this is a great April Fool's joke! I mean it's a bit late for it, but that just makes it even better in my opinion, because of how unexpected it is! Much better than the Gira-O joke in my opinion! Alright, in all seriousness, I'd like to raise a serious question, which is a similar one to...

Alright, I'm really busy, and I don't really have time for a big reply right now, but I'd like to point out that the main reason why people were comparing Skarmory vs. Forretress is because the main Forretress set being brought up lately is the Custap set, which has a similar function to...

Another thing worth mentioning (which reminds me that I forgot to mention this in the actual entry, so I'll edit a mention in after I'm done this) is the fact that Skarmory and Forretress can both have problems with Taunt users, since they'll ruin your plans. However, in this regard, Skarmory...

Skarmory @ Custap Berry Ability: Sturdy EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Stealth Rock - Spikes - Brave Bird / Iron Head / Taunt - Brave Bird / Iron Head / Taunt Role: Hazard Setter What It Does: Custap Skarm is an excellent hazard setter for teams (especially Hyper Offense, or...

Yeah, Earthquake on Scarf Latios is almost necessary for very similar reasons to why LO Latios currently runs it (basically being able to tear into nearly every Steel type, and particularly Heatran, better than HP Fire can with the exception of Scizor and Ferrothorn). With Heatran being one of...

Well, I don't think anyone was trying to say that Infernape is better in general than Keldeo, lol. And if they were, then they are seriously overestimating Infernape. Infernape's effective in its roles as a Wallbreaker, and the fact that it does poorly against many things in offense is why it's...

Yeah, I realize that Close Combat's better. I was using Focus Blast as the example because the OP did. And yeah, I really wasn't taking other sets into account when discussing it moving up. Honestly, the amount of sets it has is pretty good, and in thinking about it, I'm really not sure why...

Alright, before you completely jump down my throat, I would like to say that you actually did win me over somewhat, so while I'm not sure it's as good as everything in B-, it certainly does seem better than a C+. So, at this point, I'd probably be fine with it in either ranking. However, I still...

Eh, I'm not sure that 90% accuracy is low enough for Play Rough to be considered "unreliable". It doesn't have perfect accuracy, but I've still only rarely missed with it. Granted, "rarely" is not "never", but honestly, Play Rough is generally fairly reliable. The slightly lower accuracy is just...

Okay, I'd just like to point out that no one on this thread actually said they were gonna use it. That includes its defenders (such as me). I even said in my post that I don't think it's particularly good. Honestly, I actually agree that it's mostly a wasted Mega Slot. The thing of it is...

He reserved it on the previous page (post 587), on March 25th, but he has yet to do it. If he's still gonna do it, that's fine. If he's not, however, I'll call dibs on it. Anyone watching the viability thread for the past week or so knows that I'd been going on about it (a bit too much now that...

Raikou @ Choice Specs Ability: Pressure EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk / 30 Def - Volt Switch - Thunderbolt / Thunder - Hidden Power Ice - Extrasensory / Shadow Ball Role: Wallbreaker, Pivot What It Does: Raikou's excellent speed tier makes it a major force to be...
