For 6th gen, I'd personally love to see more pkmn like trapinch (who have stats higher than their next evo's). If they made a normal/dragon type with base 95/125/135 defenses who evolved into a normal/steel with 115/105/100 offenses, then I'd probably enjoy 6th gen, even if they ruin it by giving the version exclusive legendaries 200/220/220 defenses.

I don't think Sub Chandelure is rare. I think it's just better to abuse that base 145 Special Atk. And add Pain Split to the mix, you could somewhat have reliable recovery. Definelty try it in UU once.
Also, you could see my love of Substitute users, lol. Sub Honchkrow and SubSplit Chandelure is awesome!

Hi guys, its SD trying hard to stay in contact. I'm using a phone that doesnt beed internet and im still figuring out how to message here. So i'm not fully back. Just here to say hi
Yayz. Hai super xD. Pokemon has gotten somewhat bland for me and the only type of it i like is competitive now( wow isnt that like the opposite of most ppl who get bored of pokemon?) anyways i'm going to try laddering on OU again soon. 1527 rating or something right now on PS. gonna get that to 1600 today

UU seems like a fun tier atm, so if I'm at my PS, I'll be doing UU, lol.
I just like my team a lot, and when people forfeited against me like 4/5 IN A ROW

Just to clarify, any Pokemon under OU can be used with any Ability/Move combo in its tier and above, right?

- Abilities like Moody and Sand Veil(and the cousin) are banned in all tiers(besides Sand Veil/cousin IIRC)
- Drought is banned in UU and Under
- Shell Smash + Baton Pass is banned in NU and RU.
"If you have a reason to live, you don't have a reason to quit."
-Marko Germar
- Vulpix seems the useless. I think it's even banned in LC.
- Clamperl, maybe not, in PU. It still has the best boosting move in the game, which gives it a niche(Is Huntail in PU aswell?)
- Why would you say Smeargle is useless, sure it can't abuse SmashPass in its home tier and Moody anywhere, but you're only really focusing on SmashPass. It can learn every move(well besides Transform and others). Setting up hazards is a niche. Has Spore to abuse. It can still pass on Quiver Dance and Dragon Dance(and other boosting moves you need). Has that Trick Room set with Endeavor. Smeargle is not usless.
"If you have a reason to live, you don't have a reason to quit."

I really wouldn't use Technician Smearlge just because of that LOW Atk stat. Even with +6, I don't think it will do that much damage.
Gimmicky of course, but with that Atk stat, it won't work.
"If you have a reason to live, you don't have a reason to quit."

As others have said, I don't think Staraptor is OU. It isn't good enough to be in OU, just too good for UU. I want a region bird to be good enough for OU, which is somewhat hard automatically having an SR weak typing. I think in a Rain dominated Metagame that is without Hurricane Spam besides DNite, Flying/Grass would be kinda cool to handle stuff.. I still want Flying/Fighting type.
What I want in the next flying type:
- I'd rather it not be mixed. I'd rather it just focus on one stat, that way it doesn't have to be terribly frail.
- Doesn't need bulk as much as speed. If it had higher speed than Staraptor and had an ability like Intimidate to help bolster its bulk, that could be cool
- It almost has to be Normal/Flying.
- Flame Charge will cool as a boosting move. Maybe it could be a slow bulky flying type that hit hard.
- 110/135/60/52/60/88 <-- this is still 30 more BST than Staraptor, but I think it would be cool still. Not sure if the SAtk prevent Gliscor removal or not.
- Brave Bird + Roost
- Some way to hit steels that is not Flame Charge.
There are so many flaws in here, so I'd may as well cover them all:
-even with a deepseatooth, clamperl will only ever see use in little cup (being a weaker version of staryu with a sparse movepool and no form of recovery)
-smeargle 'can' use technician boosted quick attacks via belly drum, but who would want to? Even after a belly drum, smeargle only hits 456atk (which is incredibly low, regardless of which tier), and is still heavily outclassed by linoone
-also, on a bit of a "technical error", if smeargle has access to every move in the game, why on earth would you let ituse shadow claw/quick attack? Even with the technician boost, extremespeed > quick attack, and shadow force/close combat > shadow claw.

for starters you have two pokemon weak to ground and 1 immunity. and 2 pokemon weak to rock and 0 immunitys. (obviously)
You could try a rotom-w and scizor for a solid addition. to those pokemon if your set on using those, if your not and its a fresh start i still recomend rotom/scizor because its a solid core. If your going for offensive lati@s/ Ttar.
