The current Ubers banlist for Gen 6 OU is fine. The few legendaries left in OU bar Lati@s and Heatran are pretty bad.

Yeah, nvm. I was using free battle because I couldn't register on pokemon.com. I guess it makes sense for them to available on free battle, but it's still annoying.

Cool, I'll definitely use that.

Alssooo, which do ya'll think is the best mega evolution? (NOT including mega kangkaskgan)

Talon · 12-31-2013

Luke's is by far my favorite.

Sariss · 12-31-2013

Yeah, pretty awesome design and STAB. Followed by mega scizor and mega banette.

Finally finished reading unread threads... whew.

Talon · 12-31-2013

Bleh, MScizor looks too robotic. Also, Choice Band > Scizorite imo

Sariss · 12-31-2013

I only like the top part of mega scizor, not the legs. And wouldn't use it for battling either, just posted it for looks.

Mega lucario is pretty awesome (special attacker)

Talon · 12-31-2013

Why Sp. when you've now got 2.0x STAB + 112 Speed Close Combat? I guess Nasty Plot + Aura Sphere/Vacuum Wave, but the SD set is just so powerful.

Nasty plot set is just as good and it's good because if he gets burnt, his special attack does not get effected.

And is this team good for regular OU:

Greninja @ Life Orb
Ability: Protean
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Hasty Nature
- Spikes
- Hydro Pump
- Dark Pulse
- Extrasensory

Rotom-Wash @ Chesto Berry
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SAtk / 252 SDef
Calm Nature
- Rest
- Volt Switch
- Will-O-Wisp
- Hydro Pump

Excadrill @ Air Balloon
Ability: Sand Rush
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Adamant Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Earthquake
- Swords Dance
- Rock Slide

Talonflame @ Choice Band
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Jolly Nature

- U-turn

Cloyster @ White Herb

Adamant Nature
- Rock Blast
- Icicle Spear
- Shell Smash
- Razor Shell

For your lucario, I suggest putting in psychic instead of vacuum wave to deal with nasty fighting types. Also, Excadrill should go first if he isn't already because of rapid spin as well as sand rush, just don't put in sandstorm weak pokemon afterward if you can help it. Other than that, it looks like a solid team.

Talon · 12-31-2013

What's the point of Sand Rush Excadrill if you don't have a Tyranitar/Hippowdon? They're also not prevalent enough in use for you to use it against your opponent, like it was in Gen 5 either. Also, Choice Band and Roost is pretty counter-intuitive on a glass cannon like TFlame. It seems like you have a strong enough offensive core in Lucario/Cloyster/Excadrill so they should be enough to open holes for TFlame to be a late-game cleanup which I think he's best suited for.

Tyranitar is really common on opposing teams which helps alot and why not have it?

edit: The only reason i have him for is because he is a rapid spinner

Sariss · 12-31-2013

Also, X-scissor is good for Excadrill, if you don't need rapid spin. It all depends how common entry hazards are where you play.
