Ninetales can sweep better than Arcanine though, considering it has the ability to buff AND double-status. Ninetales also has decent Sp. Def, so it can switch in on an unSTAB'd special move (as long as it isn't a water move), Hypnosis the counter, and buff for the big sweep. It also gets Energy...

Great warstory...gives me inspiration for making a mono-team of my own.

A new tier would never work. In order for a tier to be good, a faux tier has to be created above and below it. OU is that 'good tier', all of the other tiers are far more unbalanced than OU is (And OU is pretty damn unbalanced with the Specsmence and SkarmBliss dominance).

Just checked on Marriland...3HKO on Bold max/max, especially if you have Leftovers. So Cressy can just Calm Mind on the switch and sneak in a few more, then attack Meta's weaker Sp. Def with Ice Beam/Grass Knot for the eventual kill.

But see, that's the thing...Metagross doesn't really threaten it without an attack boost, seeing as how it's only physical Dark move is 40 base damage, which Cressy will just shrug off. Getting into wall battles isn't really relevant here, since walls generally won't do a ton of damage to each...

The only things that'll really make Cressy run away are T-tar and Heracross. If T-Tar goes to Ubers, then Cressy's just seems to powerful to stay in OU.

Personally, I would like to see Salamence and (possibly) Garchomp become Uber. We all know about the power Specsmence carries, with a Draco Meteor only resisted by Steels + good physical and special movepool and DDMence variants. Garchomp is a little more predictable, but Dragons like these are...

Medicham. I don't see them around too often, and all I can ask is....why? This guy is an absolute offensive monster and there's really not a Pokemon Medi *can't* put a dent in. Even Skarm has to be a little wary of Thunderpunch or HJK. I've seriously swept teams (even if he is locked into a move...

I lead with a Scarfcham, and the amount of times HJK got me the win FAR exceeds the amount of times it wound up killing me. But I HAVE lost a match to a Bliss who I missed HJK on. Man, that was bad... Anyway, I prefer HJK over BB because if you're going to go with something that weak, you might...

I lead with a Scarcham. Very underrated and unexpected. Few things can really wall it if you're good at predicting.

Blargh at them probably not allowing 491-493. Someone traded me Darkrai a month or so ago and I've since then released it, but I probably won't be able to compete because of it. Ah well, I'll try to go anyway, since the GS is a mile from my house and see what they say. Anyone in CT going?

Bravo, TC! Thanks for this.

Hmm, but aren't Blisseys more common than Gyarados? Anyway, Ok read....could've used a little more humor, though.

I like Scarcham a lot, and I feel that it's quite underrated as a lead. Even after a Salamence Intimidate, it OHKO's with Ice Punch. Gyara falls to a T-Punch (although you have to be wary of 'Vire here). If you give it enough EVs to outspeed Weavile, it OHKO's with Hi Jump Kick. T-Tar also dies...

Ugh, igarvey is EeveeTrainer? NO WONDER. ET is a WELL KNOWN cheater/DCer.

Aw man, no one mentioned Spiritomb? That dude gets NO love. I use him and he's actually REALLY underrated. 108 base Def and Sp.Def is a lot more imposing than you'd think when you factor in the fact that you can't land a SE hit on it. Then you have Pain Split for recovery (Screws over Blissey...

Eek...read a competitive battling guide....just so you know, this topic will be closed within a few minutes, so yeah...don't get too comfortable.

Yeah, I need to sign up for this one, since my team was ready *right* after the tourney started...

Props on the battle, sucks that his disconnected, though...

Hmm, I'm 1/4 of the Ninetales users on RMT...*shrug* Man, I'm not shocked at all about Blissey being the most common. I hate little pink puffball sooooo badly....
