Where did alolan ninetails end up? Thought fairy typing and aurora veil might give it some potential.

Just mentioning it because there have been cases of people not being aware that the latter is a thing. I'm sure there are people who don't realize you can get a King's Rock by challenging the head mistress of the trainer's school (after becoming champion) either.

if anybody actually REALLY wants an item or pokemon or whatever, just join the discord since we have a fair number of people in there who can use pkhex to spawn in whatever on a whim in about 10 seconds.

A-Ninetales is still a glass cannon and so much a sneeze in its general direction will OHKO it; however, it is very fast and can set up dual screens in a single turn, which is incredibly valuable. The general consensus is that A-Ninetales is still OU but might slide to UU.

It's weird how Ice type is still a miserable defensive type, despite the type rebalancing they did in generation 6.

I did da math a bit and yeah starmie is safe in OU considering how insane it's move pool still is and being one of the fastest spinners coupled with good typing. After all, a Psychic type that has bulk is still not an extremely common thing at all. Shame about Gengar though. Still thinking Magnezone makes more appearances if Celesteela is as good as it seems

greatn posted:What do people mean by spinner? Rapid Spin? Is that move good? I tried it in heart gold and didn't really get anything out of it. yeah Rapid Spin removes hazards from the game field. When going up against a high end team it's an absolute must considering how much switching can happen in a game. Outside of player games though it isn't entirely useful. the single player trainers generally don't spike or stealth rock often.

I understand that, and it is a fair point. But if there's a choice between leaving legendaries in at all tiers, or banning them entirely, I'd pick the latter. Or at least ban all legendaries from official tournament games and pray to god there's better team variety, but I know that won't happen. E: What I'm trying to say is that I'm still salty Dragonair evolves into THAT! At least give it a side evo like Glailie/Froslass.
