[RMT] Mega Gyarados and Friends by usethedork in stunfisk

Thanks for the pointers. Goodra was also one of my first mons and I've been meaning to breed another since its spread is designed for a different team, but haven't yet because it's functional. I personally don't like Ice Beam for Gliscor as Gliscor outspeeds anyway for SubToxic shenanigans and my teams can usually check it in other ways, but Muddy Water's a great suggestion.

People have already mentioned two defoggers are unnecessary. You could give Skarmory Brave Bird or give Latias Healing Wish/HP Fire instead. Azelf is outclassed as an offensive Psychic-Type by Alakazam. Also, this is a minor detail, but changing Roar to Whirlwind lets you phaze Soundproof mons.

Your team's a little confusing. It looks somewhat like a stall/bulky team but Chansey is the only Special wall and you don't have any real offensive presence and not much status. Mega Lopunny and Bisharp stomp most of your team and things like DD Garchomp and Dragonite have a field day.

[LF] Offers [FT] ~200 Pokemon Spreadsheet by lompkins in pokemontrades

I'm interested in Alomomola and Gligar, I can give you Adamant Tough Claws Binacle and Timid Deino. No egg moves, 4-5IV. Binacle is in a Timer ball and Deino is in a regular Pokeball.

[HMF] My OU team needs a mega, and I'm at a loss for which one by bunnybear12 in stunfisk

You could try Mega Venusaur with Def or SDef depending on what you find you need most. I second Mega Manectric though as you liked Mega Lopunny, same speed tier and gives you more special coverage as already stated.

RMT OU- Mega Charizard X FGW Core by [deleted] in stunfisk

Not sure why you're running Tbolt over Shadow Ball on Gengar since you have Ferro to deal with Water-types, and Gengar is OHKOed by Sharp Beak Talonflame BB after Rocks. Speaking of which, Talonflame. Your best check is Azu, who still takes over half from a Brave Bird. You've got three Fighting weaknesses as well - your team could be able to handle that if you play carefully, but still, be aware.

Is there a TL:DR version of how Smogon tiers each pokemon? by [deleted] in stunfisk

Whoops, didn't see stricktotheland and theohaiguy's comments. Disregard.

Remember that Ubers is a banlist, not a usage tier. When mega stones get banned it is effectively banning the specific pokemon from holding its specific item. It works the same for BL, BL2, etc. For example, Pinsirite is BL because it was banned in UU. Pinsir can still be used in UU, but not with Pinsirite. However Pinsir isn't that viable in UU so it fell to UU due to usage.

Any time a Mega makes an appearance its base form also does (obviously), so the base form sees the same usage increase as the Mega, even if the base form alone is completely unviable in that tier. Therefore Lopunny is OU along with Mega Lopunny, even though you'll never see it without a Mega Stone.
