As a reminder to posters, please make sure the content of your posts is relevant to a competitive player and relevant to the current metagame. If the majority of your post is simply listing information you can find on the dex (i.e. Base Stats, Typing, Movepool, Ability, etc.) odds are its not a good post.

To reitirate a couple of good points from the Beginner's Guide to NU Thread:
- When posting, it's good to take a second readthrough and think, "does this make sense", "what am I trying to accomplish with this post", "am I contradicting myself". The other posters in the thread will appreciate you for it.
- Damage Calculations can be an effective way of proving the effectiveness of a certain set or mon, but people often don't use them correctly. Make sure that when you're using damage calcs, that they're relevant to what the specific set/mon's purpose is. For example, if i'm trying to show that SpDef Malamar is the best set because it uses it's special bulk to set up, i won't put a calc showing that Signal Beam Musharna does 60% or that Scyther revenges it. I'll show calcs with the relevant defensive pokemon like Vileplume and Weezing and how they don't 3HKO it which allows you to set up on them.
