...what....its still not gonna be blue even if keld goes to s....
anyways to make this somewhat relevant
who ever compared them? just because ferrothorn and megallade are in the same subrank doesnt mean theyre comparable.
and how are you arguing for lando-t to be the ¨worst¨? its certainly not the best, but i think its about as viable as mega lop
so? every mon appreciates its checks and counters out of the way? mega pinsir needed mag and defog/spin support, and it was still one of the best mons in XY.
sub cm may not have the best matchup against offense because of the speed creep, but its speed isnt like, horrendous? like its not like base 50 or something. you still outspeed a decent portion of mons.
but its totally amazing as a wincon against stall and balance, being able to beat megasable cause of the godsend that is scald.
also ive been seeing pursuit bisharp a lot more, due to the increase in popularity of chary, but w/e w/e.

Its not that they are comparable, its when you rank above or below the pokemons standing rank, it has to fit in the rank. They dont have the same roles, but one has an overall better power ranking.
I said it was
considered, I never agreed it was the worst. But, its pretty close between MLop and Lando T.
Its the fact that its hard to cover all those pokemon in one team. Keldeo relies on something to take out those pokemon, and the best option you have is MMeta. The point is, is that Keldeo needs a lot of pokemon out before it can reliably sweep, and then some more with stall.
Mega Pinsir was also faster and much stronger than the metagame. Keldeo is not.
SubCM is an overrated but semi decent set. The problem is is that you cant set up when any of the counters are alive, and even then some non counters can take it on also (Scarf Lando can get rid of the Sub, switch into check/counter, etc, there is other pokemon with the same roles but thats about it.)
Stall has answers for Keld. Look at: Unaware Clef, Celebi, the rare Jellicent, and especially that whore MBro and MVenu.
From what ive seen, Pursuit has been pretty uncommon, but I guess I could be wrong. Jolly SD seems to be more popular.
See, what people dont understand is that you
have to compare mons from a rank above. It doesnt matter if they have different roles, it matters about the
viability. MMeta not only covers more, it has faster speed, defense, Special Defense, and Speed. I dont think i need to go over what it covers cause basically everything except Skarmory and a few others stop this thing with all its sets in play. MLop has unresisted STABs and is overall a more threatening force to deal with. It has some answers, but definetly less than Keldeo. Lando T Intimidates and checks a plethora of mons, including itself, while it can run a defensive or offensive scarf set that both give pressure to the opposing team. And lastly, MSab reflects any non attack and forces other teams to run a Mold Breaker/Fairy. It definetly has a good amount of checks, but lets remind everyone, Calm Mind and Will O Wisp destroys some on the switch in.
Wow.
You're using Keldeo. You want a way to get rid of Latios. So you run Bisharp. But oh no, most Bisharps don't run Pursuit! Wait, hold on, couldn't you, you know, put Pursuit on Bisharp??
And "It really cant do anything to anything that it doesnt hit SE." Yeah 129 base SpA with a 110 and 100 BP moves don't do shit.
Please think before posting.
Bisharp favors the SD jolly set more and seems to love getting a +2 from anything besides Defog. Correct me if I'm wrong, but from personal experience, i havent seen a Pursuit Bish in around 5 weeks.
Its movepool is overall weak (the moves he uses, ofc) With its strongest being a 85% Hydro Pump, and everything else being lower than 90 iirc. Even if you wanted to run Pursuit on Bish, Latios does a shitload of damage with Draco Meteor (around 80%) and OHKO's with the rare HP Fighting. Bish isnt a safe switchin to Latios.
Edit:
http://www.smogon.com/dex/xy/pokemon/keldeo from what i see here, unless you wanna run Hyper Beam Keldeo, his strongest move is Hydro Pump, doing 110 damage. Thats its strongest move, while powerful, it is inaccurate and everything else does much, much less.
Please, if you are gonna post back, post back with some relative evidence. And to kick back, please, do your research before posting.
