Just seen the OU usage stats for the initial month of SuMo and Zapdos is sitting at around 4%...Let the rage begin. Also RIP the idea of having dragonite ramp the hazard wars up to 12 (Since the tier generally operates at 11 in regards to hazard wars) Probably other stuff in there that might...

Snarl or Sleep Talk. Both are pretty useless but Snarl can combine further with parting shot to punish special attackers who switch in to avoid strong foul play damage. Sleep talk if you need something to absorb sleep.

One other thing due to the change in mega-evolution mechanics might be a buff to mega-banette. Not enough for OU of course but could see it rise a few tiers since it would now be able to prankster status stuff immediately upon mega-evolving, rather than wasting a turn and move on protect. Pity...

This thing is just build for the sole purpose of pissing people off with a 3 move combination of Foul Play, Snarl and Parting Shot. When we get move tutors for knock off, its movepool will be complete (I seriously hope swag-play is still banned for gen VII). Probably will reside in a lower...

For lower tiers, Musharna is a very viable choice to set Psychic terrain given its excellent natural bulk. Nothing but Tapu-Lele should be considered for the higher tiers unless it is deemed too OP.

I like Type:Null and Silvally if only for their roles on Volt-turn teams. Type:Null being an incredibly bulky slow pivot that can help get things in safely while wearing down with U-turn, while Silvally can actually make use of parting shot due to it's reasonable speed tier, or just chip damage...

Should be able to find a home in UU I would think. An electric type with access to NP is going to see some use at least as long as UU remains the bulky water tier (which it probably will). Outclasses Raikou unless you're super desperate for Raikou's defensive bulk. Otherwise the late game super...

With the formes, has someone checked that for example, the fire forme can learn fire blast for example, and so on? They surely cannot be that bad...

I'd be interested in knowing then why the reverse doesn't apply then, or in other words, why trapping moves/abilities aren't broken because they deny you the chances to KO M-Sableye with "insert various wallbreaker/stallbreaker here" especially as people have already said Msableye isn't lacking...

Leo's SD Virizion

As the current team stands, it really needs hazard removal given how slow it is and the reliance on leftovers. It is extremely dependent on predicting correctly against CB krookodile (God forbid it's the dread plate or taunt + SR variant) and is screwed against NP infernape if it sets up while...

Eh, Trick Room usually gets overhyped by the slow threats, and it still doesn't deal with the issue of stall who will simply scout all your moves and choiced attackers while generally packing the one pokemon who doesn't give a damn about sylveon (blissey and its reliable recovery), and just burn...

I think espeon rose in ranks before Alakazam dropped back down into UU. With the return of Zam, Espeon can be ranked lower down now.

Confuse Ray is bad full stop. 50% of the time its a waste of turn. Any sort of confusion move used should either be from a damaging attack (e.g dynamic punch), or be abused in combination with another move (see the shitstorm that got swagger banned to ubers). Using any sort of move needs to grab...

Specs Pixilate Hypervoice is just too good to pass up. That in itself sums up why florges would lose just about all usage if we get sylveon. Sylveon would be possibly the best choiced-lock user in all of UU simply because there are no quad resists and no immunities to block its outrageously...
