I desire to try laddering a little in SM OU in my offtime, however given my unfamiliarity with the meta I wanted to see if I could get some opinions on my team, and possibly take note of points of improvement. Greninja @ Choice Specs Ability: Battle Bond EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe...

Here's a rate to (hopefully) protect from deletion. Though I wouldn't be surprised if deletion did happen. It'd be easier for me to just go with the rules and make this PSA than to resort to other...assertive measures. Lele will tear the snot out of your forces if you keep this team up. If I...

IMPORTANT: You forgot to include luck. Very important you include this, seeing as much of the gameplay revolves around it, and only a fool would state otherwise or try to silence this fact. Anyhow, you should do something about Tapu Bulu. You should try ice beam over spikes, seeing as this'll...

That replay where you were fighting Chansey was priceless. If it's true you could live longer by laughing, I'd live to be 200 years old just from that replay. Anyways, I want to talk about your Kartana problem. I'm sure it wouldn't be nearly as funny for you if you got schooled by it – and...

I can see spelling isn't exactly your strong suit. Gave me a real hoot though. Anyhow, I want to take a moment to discuss this argument. You're basically saying "Hawchula has a good speed tier and a great ability and therefore should go up" or "Peliper can screw you if you can't stop them."...

I find it intriguing on how you claim this is the "best M-Diancie team" and yet tack on "I'm bad" afterwards. Gives me a real hoot. Anyhow, you might wanna do something about Kartanas before your team gets cut in half. Yea, Kyurem can withstand a single hit, but you're not counting on using it...

Who cares if Diancie always dies, as long as it gets the job done (of which it seems to do reasonably well). Few suggestions to make, team is pretty good as is. Hawlucha is astoundingly viable, who would've thought. You could try Scarf on your Kartana, seeing as it'll give you an easier time...

Landog will continue to be protected until the pro-ban side can present reasonable evidence to ban him. Simply saying too good or too common is insufficient. You'd probably be better off talking about how he negatively affects the meta, of which no pro-ban advocate has done yet.

Well, I wouldn't think the council should abstain from a QB, since it seems a majority of OU players agree that Naganadel is overpowered, and the anti-QB side has yet to provide a coherent argument about why the council should abstain. Say what you will about "[breathing] life into usm," but...

Well, like Spohky said earlier, it'd be helpful if you could provide an example of "condescending vibes." And it seems to me you want to see the VR get taken down. And to this I only have one question. "Why?"

Some things I am a little puzzled about. One, you're just telling me stuff already know. I'm well aware Hoopa can tear stuff up, or that Heatran has a ton of utility moves. It's like me telling you that Kyurem-B hits insanely hard, and thus deserves S-rank. You're better off going deeper than...

I'm having difficulty understanding what you're trying to say. I'm going by assumption here, since it appears your post contradicts itself. Aside from the...um, unique formatting, what you seem to be saying is that Altervisi's argument is acceptable because "forcing suboptimal items" is a bad...

Why does it matter so much to ban Dugtrio in place of Arena Trap? I mean, seriously. Whether to ban the mon or the ability, it shouldn't matter. Smogon tends to be a little inconsistent with banning mons (like the Greninja-in-lieu-of-Protean and the Shadow Tag-in-lieu-of-Gothitelle), but no...

If I'm understanding this correctly, what you're trying to tell me is that Dugtrio is okay for the meta because "If you don't [wanna have your mon get toasted then] just use something else." Another one of your reasons is that "[you're not] guaranteed to lose a pokemon every time you kill one of...

Do you even know what you're talking about? Why do you care if Diglett/Trapinch gets a role in OU meta? Is it really more important to do that than to balance the meta? I believe it's far more important to balance the meta the way the players want than to ensure some PU mons get a role in OU...

"I don't use Dugtrio so I can't give you specific information that might make this a more compelling argument." If you never used a Dugtrio and can't give conclusive information for your argument, then why are you here? What are you aiming to accomplish with this? Clearly you are incapable of...

These reasons are insufficient. I don't know if anyone reads the rules anymore, but according to one of the rules: When nominating a Pokemon, do not merely list its obvious qualities such as stats, typing, movepool, etc. If you think a Pokemon deserves to rise or drop, explain what has changed...

All of this is true. From what I could understand with your post, in a nutshell (it was a very long post), you seem tired of people over-exaggerating Dugtrio's effectiveness, saying the Dugtrio user doesn't dictate the flow 100%. And you're not wrong, its effectiveness has been exaggerated to...
