Oh, I was totally unaware that Mew for A+ has already been the subject of debate. Is that something I would be able to find in this thread? But yeah, if it was just recently debated, then sorry for bringing it up again so soon. I think the main reason I decided to make an argument for it is...

Doesn't being able to break stall and neuter physical attackers simultaneously qualify as having more than one role? Mew can absolutely switch into a lot of strong physical attacks. I mean, he can't stop Mega Charizard X, and you can't switch him into a Mega Heracross Pin Missile, but the vast...

Would anyone mind responding to the idea of Mew moving from A ----> A+, either for or against? I made a post about it yesterday, and I was just curious to hear what people might think. I've seen a couple of other people support the notion of Mew moving to A+ as well, but it never really...

Mew A -----> A+ The Taunt/Will-O-Wisp/Softboiled/Knock Off moveset wrecks havoc in the current metagame. Physical attackers without the Guts ability just can't stand up to it. It makes things like Bisharp, (Mega) Tyranitar, and (Mega) Scizor look silly, mons which in theory should be Mew's...

Umm... oye. My bad! Fixed.

Yeah I was listing so many Pokemon that I made a couple of careless errors. Thanks for the corrections; I edited my post. I assume you just made a mistake with Mega Charizard X, since Dazzling Gleam certainly hits it harder than Shadow Ball. I realize that a bunch of the Pokemon I listed are...

There's nothing fancy about this Gengar moveset, but it's been incredible for me in the current OU game: Gengar@Life Orb Nature: Timid Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 Speed/252 SpA/4 HP Destiny Bond Shadow Ball Sludge Wave Focus Blast / Thunderbolt / Energy Ball / Psychic / Dazzling Gleam It has...

Focus Punch would be useful against TTar, but as your calcs show Focus Blast will usually take care of it. If the first Focus Blast misses, just switch out. If the first one hits, you probably force your opponent to switch TTar out. Focus Punch is definitely the superior option against...

Yeah exactly, Ancient Power is really only useful for other Talonflame and other ZardY, neither of who can switch into and force ZardY out anyway. IMO it's much better to be able to 1HKO those dragons I keep bringing up with Hidden Power Ice.

I think the best argument for Flame Charge is that ZardY makes a good lead, and Flame Charge can help foil the plans of Focus Sash leads. --- Dragon Pulse can be useful, but I think it's better to be able to 1HKO Garchomp, Salamence, Noivern, Zygarde, Dragonite (after Multiscale), etc. with HP...

Sorry guys but Focus Punch seems super gimmicky to me (in fairness, you called it gimmicky yourself). Focus Blast still hits Heatran harder and hits Tyranitar just as hard in a sandstorm. You'll put a dent in Blissey/Chansey but not nearly enough for a 1HKO. If you hit Heatran/Tyranitar on...

I also think Flare Blitz isn't really a viable top on ZardY. Modest ZardY has 459 sp. attack, and Timid ZardY has 419 sp. attack, compared to its 243 attack stat. So there's almost never a reason for you to use Flare Blitz over Fire Blast, even against specially defensive Pokemon...

Yeah, good point. I updated the moveset I listed.

Dragon Pulse is an option for hitting dragons, but Fire Blast does hit 73% as hard as Dragon Pulse against dragons (170 base power vs 124 base power). For me, Dragon Pulse should never be used over Fire Blast/Solarbeam/Focus Blast. It's a solid option for the 4th move, maybe even the best one...

Yes, absolutely. That's exactly how I've been using my ZardY - as a lead. It's amazing how many Rotom-Ws and Azumarrills I have switching into my Charizard lead, only for them to find out it's actually a ZardY and be 1HKoed. I suppose people will catch on eventually, but right now it's easy...
