While it's outclassed by the other sets, Koko has all the tools necessary for a stallbreaker set with Taunt / Roost / Nature's Madness and high speed. It shuts down Ferrothorn and Chansey, who are both solid answers to the other sets. Tapu Fini can do this a little better thanks to immunity to...

Type: Null is slightly worse than Porygon-2 in my opinion. While Null has slightly better defenses, it lacks any reliable recovery and its ability offers niche opportunities compared to P-2's three amazing abilities. Better defenses will only get you so far when P-2 can last longer and apply...

I'm not seeing the point of Innards Out when Unaware is available. This thing is bulky enough to where you're only going to let this thing get OHKO'd if you sandbag it, which seems improper for a defensive Pokemon. For example, all of these assume the stat spread of 252 HP / 252 Def+: CB...

It's the Friendship Cafe and Parlor. Both of them sell the Sweets Set, which can lower a single stat's EVs depending on the set. Like any other shop, it's a random unlock. You can also grab the EV lowering berries on the Route 10 berry tree if you want to avoid the hassle of Festival. It's...

Celesteela @ Leftovers / Life Orb Ability: Beast Boost EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Modest Nature - Autotomize - Flash Cannon - Air Slash - Flamethrower The defensive set is a good, aggressive pivot, but this set turns it into a decent late game cleaner. At +2, it outruns Pheromosa and up to...

I'd only consider running Earthquake if your team really needs a lure for Heatran and Magnezone on the switch, which isn't hard to handle. Missing out on Flamethrower is huge since its Celesteela's only way to punish Ferrothorn looking to absorb Leech Seed. Even without Earthquake, Heatran hates...

Type: Steel/Flying Ability: Beast Boost Stats: 97/101/103/107/101/61 Moves: With defenses comparable to Heatran and a unique movepool options given its typing, Celesteela is shaping up to be on of the most balanced Pokemon introduced this generation. Its typing, which is shared with the OU...

When Aegislash gets the boot, Pheromosa is probably getting quickbanned or banned at the same time. Aegislash is really the only thing keeping Pheromosa in check. The only negative aspect of Pheromosa is its weakness to priority, but that's easy to offset this generation thanks to Tapu Lele...

Thanks for clarifying on that. I tried searching for it before posting but yielded no results. The good news on the Power Construct ban is that you can still use Thousand Arrows on the other formes. I expect 10% to get some niche usage later down the road once things start to balance out.

As former head of the competitive VG department for a run of years, even I don't know the exact answer on how to fix things. It's just hard to foster a community when Smogon and Nugget Bridge exist. Both of these communities are able to satisfy the basic needs of a competitive player; giving...

Christie's role in the future Trump administration is shrinking. Everything involving bridgegate and his demotion on the transition team point to this. Even then, Trump's stance on the issue is to watch and decrease involvement. Quite simply, let the issue play out and avoid WWIII.

Assad is being backed by Russia, as Russia's main interest is backing its ally and securing oil, along with other reasons. Russia and the West are fighting a proxy war in Syria with Russia providing bombers and the West funding the rebels. During the election, Clinton publicly said she wanted...
