I think it should be stressed that S-rank noms should not be taken lightly. The criteria to reach S-rank is vague, but for good reason – it's intentionally kept vague so that mons can have multiple ways to achieve S-rank. That being said, vagueness does not equate to openness. Your nomination...

To properly begin a suspect test (on Landorus-T I'm assuming), you need to provide proper reasoning that can handle opposing viewpoints, as well as have sufficient demand from OU in general. Advocates for Landorus-T's suspect have neither. Their reasoning hasn't been convincing enough to the OU...

You say that Ferrothorn has a huge impact on the tier as well as the other S-rank mons. A large impact alone doesn't guarantee a spot in S-rank. Otherwise, Dugtrio would have been there, and mons which have a "huge impact" such as Greninja (Ash or not) would be there as well. The key function...

I'm with Exploudit on this one. Got sniped, but oh well. Before I begin, I would like to say that a nomination to S-rank should not be done lightly. Criteria to S-rank are vague and therefore it can be tough deciding who gets it. But it's vague for good reason, as there's no one way to get into...

How does Medicham perform fantastically in the offense-based meta? My understanding of an "offense-based meta" is that there are a lot of fast mons (and Landog, of course), such as Greninja (Ash or not), Tapu Koko, and other quickmons. All of which outspeed and OHKO Mega Medicham. That is not a...

Well, this is a new one. I smell a troll, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're not trolling. Based on your post, here's how I understood it. If I misunderstand you, please correct me. - You say you don't know what the purpose of the VR is - The VR is filled with toxicity...

I don't post here often (because I don't want to contribute uninformed posts and hamper discussion, so I lurk more), but I feel I am qualified enough to discuss Arena Trap, having seen – I kid you not – hundreds combat situations involving it. I encourage – no, urge – people to please consider...

Good of you to include thought process. Makes job a lot easier. Question one: How do you know which is the safest move? This question is one with a very long answer. I'll try to explain the best I can. The safest move depends on intel both you and your enemy have, and the most threatening mons...

Interesting questions. Regarding your first question. It's very easy finding a Fairy spam core in S/M. It's similar to Dark spam in ORAS – stack a team full of Dark-type attackers with mons like Tyranitar + Weavile. When using Dark spam, your defensive ability will be hurt pretty badly, but...

Why should Dugtrio occupy S? No clear reasons have been presented, as of the time of writing, as to why Dugtrio should be in S. No one has conceived any reasons why Dugtrio should go to S, and Dugtrio's current ranking reflects that the council hasn't conceived any reasons either. To put it...

Everyone seems awfully excited about Diancie coming. I can relate very well, but I would take caution if (not necessarily when) Diancie comes out. Before I begin, I would like to clarify that this is me merely taking educated guesses. Key word being "guesses." None of my statements should be...

I would agree that PKHex is the more efficient method, but don't pretend it's not cheating. You're using an outside, non-Nintendo approved source to modify game data. That is definitionally cheating. It's up to IceFir3 whether or not s/he wants to use PKHex. It's not up to me to decide what...

I anticipate Gardevoir-Mega will certainly have a role. I'd imagine Gardevoir-Mega is basically a Tapu Lele that is more expensive (you can't have other Mega Evolutions), but in return Gardevoir has better Speed and a better STAB (A powerful Fairy STAB is much better than a powerful Psychic...

The end definitely could have gone smoother for Mr. Leo here. Before I start talking, I will say two things: Leo definitely made reasonable moves up until turn 19, so nothing to fix there. He played quite well actually. I admire the effort you guys are making to get better at the game. It's...

Sure, go for it. Just be sure you can justify putting it up here, as stated in the rules. Also, I'd recommend you don't make a habit out of it. It would be preferred if the replays would be relevant to new people as well. On a less relevant note, please send a PM next time if you have questions...

Approved by Gary (picture I drew as a placeholder image, it'll probably remain this way forever due to Gary's insistence :P) Purpose of this Thread One of the most effective skills for anyone to have is the ability to learn from their mistakes. One of the most effective ways to do so is to...
