Yeah, any special sweeper worth their salt is packing one of those two, meaning if Hoopa's not Fast as hell He's Dead.

Kyogre packs neither :colbert:.

OU is another story though (it would take something crazy to make this thing Ubers suspect I dunno).

There's no way that little guy is getting into OU with a quad weakness to both pursuit and shadow ball. Just leaves more Hoopa for the better tiers anyway!

Ah, my bad. Japan uses those letters for the stats, but in competitive it's listed as "H A D B C S" normally. It's not uncommon for them to rearrange them alphabetically because ~english~, but they don't usually switch the references.

They sure are giving a huge boost in necessity to Dark and Steel type offensively. With the combos of Rock/Fairy and Ghost/Psychic Bisharp is gonna have a fuckin' field day this generation. (I'm not knockin' that...he's actually one of my favorites.)

Well at least Hoopa has some Earth-shattering Offensive stats now. Even if my dreams of a literal Rock Goddess have been dashed :negative:

155 special attack and 125 speed means absolutely nothing when you have a 4x weakness to Sucker Punch.

Only a couple 'mon away from completing my Central Pokedex. Mountain looks like it is in range, but Coastal seems like it's going to be a bit of a challenge because of all the darn evolutionary stones needed and me just having the fewest of these Pokemon caught during my first playthrough. This will be the first time I have completed any Pokedex, feels good.

What if it has Multiscale or some really crazy ability.

Hell, Serene Grace would probably be enough to make the thing not allowed for any tier below OU.

For a mixed Honedge, isn't it recommended you don't go with a 0IV? Unless you're going with a King's Shield set still, but even then I wouldn't recommend it since you may want to outspeed certain threats.

You really shouldn't care about the speed at all. The whole point of brave/quiet is that you don't want to sacrifice any other stat besides speed while boosting an attack stat. Those honedge are fine. You could even make an argument to have high speed ivs to outrun other brave/quiet honedge.

That would be an interesting way to handle an event Pokemon.

Carbink is described as millions of years old, after all, and I think it's actually the only genderless non-legendary Pokemon in Gen 6.

Specifically you want at least 21 to outspeed Hippowdon so you can 2HKO with Shadow Ball safely. Beating Min-Speed Azumarill is also pretty nice with a 29+, but Hippowdon is the important one.

gawrsh do you think any women will be there

So I'm going for a lead Tyranitar. So far I've got this:

Tyranitar (Sassy), unsure of which item.

Decided to go for max HP EVs, unsure of whether to max out Special D, regular D, or 128/128 in both.

- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Crunch
- Stealth Rock

The idea is for him to be bulky, take hits, set up Stealth Rock and Sand, and cause some havoc to common counters/leads if he can.

Is this at all a sensible setup?

Well I'd planned on having Shadow Sneak for outspeeding other Poke's when necessary, but I do have to admit I haven't really done much in terms of mathing out specific stuff.
