Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Two questions:
1: Do we have anything that can handle Darkrai and/or Hoopa-Unbound? Because they look incredibly scary to switch into in this meta
2: With Aqua Jet and Ice Shard becoming Special, which of the Pokemons that learn them should we keep an eye on?
Have you guys tried Specially Defensive Flash Fire Fire Types with Tera Flying (and by this I mean not just Specially Defensive Heatran) to check Volcarona and see if some results can be achieved? I've been thinking of Kantonian Ninetales, since it speed ties Volcarona and has an impressive...
