    I find hoopa-u to be an all-around good replacement to some offensively oriented "top presence mons." it's able to fight on both sides on the spectrum, take down other top mons, and still have the versatility to break down teams. its dual stab has solid enough coverage, but paired with other...

    it's good, just not bannable. ~~like kyub~~ obviously it isn't overrated if people still use it consistently(check the usage stats yourself because I didnt). part of the reason it isn't overrated is because it's good enough, not to be overrated. but of course we all have our opinions so I don't...

    sure gyra may lose to a few top mons, but its ability, moves, and stats compensate and demolish the "silent majority" of the meta. ironically, it helps define the meta, shutting down niche mons that try to pop up and get cheap wins. it's consistently good, which justifies its top presence. im...

    Welcome to 1v1, where people use niche sets to beat one thing over another to beat whatever you want. (s/o spikes ninja) A lot of people use niches to just mess around, but it's also a fun way to go far into single elim tournaments. It is pretty easy to sacrifice for a slot, because after all...

    This conclusion comes at quite a surprise. You displayed great evidence to show that there are many mons that abuse and are only useful because of their Z moves, at least from the usage. Without the inclusion of said Z moves, nowhere does this evidence, from both this generation and the last...

    [1v1] Primarina

    General Information Primarina is another Water/Fairy type that has become popular in the 1v1 tier. Its typing, while weak to Z-Thunders, Grass, and Poison, allow resistances to other common types, such as Fighting, Dragon, and Fire. Its Bulky Offense capabilities are justified through its...

    This is probably the riskiest post I've made. Most likely this'll be flagged down and discarded for aforementioned overbearing, irrelevancy, and assumed knowledge in a complex discussion D: There are select few players, namely XSC and MedLEY, who seem to fit this stereotype of throwing off...

    Can we please leave Gardevoir-Mega out of sleep discussion? Many of its best sets certainly do not run Hypnosis, whereas sleep is at least a common move on pokemon like Venusaur-Mega, Breloom, and Gengar-Mega. It is, if I compare it to a previous post, running Air Cutter on Charizard-Mega-Y...

    Some little things with the calcs. Maybe you should calculate using Double-Edge next time. Also, UOP just said Fighting Types exist too. Also, Bulbapedia doesn't specify how sleep actually works, can you explain, instead of saying a decent chance? Also, Kyurem-Black is as vulnerable to sleep as...

    I used 88/100 as a horrible estimated statistic, which is my fault. It was an estimate of how many times I have seen Tapu Lele OHKO with Shattered Psych vs how many times it has been flinched or not been killed with Z-Psychic. This roll is solid enough. 252+ Atk Teravolt Kyurem-Black Fusion Bolt...

    Where did I mention usage stats? I said Heracross-Mega has its popular spread with that because everytime I ask for a Heracross-Mega, this has repeatedly shown up in a pokepast. It may have been an overstatement to the less competent players who just click "Fast Physical/Bulky Attacker."...

    Porygon2 is not a crappy pokemon, just because it is not used as much, does not mean it is bad. It beats Charizard-Mega-X, Gyarados-Mega, Metagross-Mega, Mimikyu, Dragonite, and walls off many other pokemon that lack a super effective move. Gardevoir-Mega obviously runs defense... I mean come up...
