Hah yeah. I wanted it to be more useful, I really did. I've always liked Articuno as a Pokémon, & it had it's moments, but between it's typing & it's shallow movepool, there just isn't enough to make people use it more. I definitely recommend Freeze-Dry over Ice Beam or Blizzard on an attacking...

I also used Articuno, & although I didn't get to ladder as much as I'd hoped to, I have to admit I found it to be more underwhelming than The Shellder Smuggler did. Here was my set: Articuno @ Life Orb Ability: Pressure EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Freeze-Dry - Hurricane -...

Espeon doesn't run any Speed on BP teams, it's has a fully defensive spread. Also, it'll come in with +2 Def, at least +2 Speed, & behind a Sub. Also, a good BP player isn't going to leave Espeon out when Mandibuzz appears. That's the point of Sylveon. So they deal with your Mandibuzz (which...

Ah I didn't realise the OP had updated, when I first saw it I'm positive it didn't have the moves added because I remember looking at the Serebii page & wondering what it was going to get. Ignore me then.

Well Geomancy gives you the +2 SpD boost over SmashPass, but I wouldn't have posted a set with Shell Smash over Geomancy because it's a set already. The premier Pokémon in the tier right now, Florges, is a lot easier to deal with after a Geomancy boost. But King's Shield can scout for someone...

Updated list of all the moves that Hoopa can learn.

The RAM for XY has been fully dumped & edited by projectpokemon.org, which to my best understanding means that they've pretty much cracked it. That's how we got the info. Also, here are the moves that Volcanion is know to learn.

That's why people call it Noobers. If you play on cart, you know most passerby battles consist of Mewtwo/Xerneas/Yveltal/Kyogre/Ground/Rayquaza. & you usually 6-0 them. Being able to use legendaries attracts a lot of new players who can't be bothered to learn how to play the meta. As Magicfire...

Wow, this actually makes me feel a lot better about Hoopa. I mentioned earlier in the thread that I love using Trick Room teams so I can easily see myself using Hoopa, but those calcs make me think it might be of more use than I'd first thought. Still disappointed with it's ability though. "It...

OH GOD NO, PLEASE NO.

Smeargle @ Focus Sash Ability: Own Tempo EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spd Timid Nature - King's Shield / Magic Coat - Geomancy - Spore - Baton Pass It's a SmashPass set, but with a twist. Spore anything they lead with, although if they bring out a physical attacker & you suspect they're just going...

Seems like the biggest vote in this thread goes to limiting to 2-3 passers per team so far, which doesn't destroy the playstyle, & it does bring said playstyle down to a manageable level (theoretically). That's why I said in the thread earlier that it seemed like the best compromise.

Those moves were hacked onto Volcanion, as was the Master Ball & shininess, the RAM has been fully dumped & edited which explains the how. Light of Ruin kinda confirms that considering it's AZ Floette's signature move. It's kinda obvious too that they're both Zygarde moves, possibly for new...

People can't seriously be on board with banning stat-boosting moves? As has been said by Haunter already, it's not up for discussion, & it's also not the point of this thread. But if that isn't hitting the panic button, I don't know what is... EDIT: This is excruciating to watch.
