Latios was banned from DPP OU last month. I would recommend replacing all mentions of Latios with Latias.

Can you explain further? You'll need more information to justify why Wake should be moved up than simply "it can be used more that others in the same tier." Quoting the DOU leader:

I've seen multiple posts stating that Magikarp would be broken if it had Tatsugiri's Commander ability. Which makes good sense, given that the Pokemon is "off" the field once Commander activates. Such a trait in my opinion would inherently break almost anything with it. Do you disagree? In...

I know it's past QC, but Atk IVs should not be lowered to 0 alongside Mortal Spin.

Brief thoughts: I am not opposed to testing Dark Void in SM DOU, on the basis that it may not be broken (over dominates the metagame) or uncompetitive (makes battle outcomes too unreliant on skill, such as overly reliant on luck). Regardless of whether it is broken or not, I do believe it will...

Landorus Bear got banned pretty quickly and we have rapid-Bear being around far longer in the metagame; don't really get why people care so much about banned Mons.

Kyurem-B. I suspect I stand alone here. I feel that many of the Crown Tundra metagame threads were in part because of Kyurem-B (KB), too many to consider meer coindence especially given DD KB's reputation of mandating answers for or else losing. It was partially responsible for the popularity...

I've got a feeling that that this team originated earlier than you thought :P

A very beginner's guide to selecting items, created by me: There are two options: 1) check out the Smogon analyses for said Pokemon, and use said recommended set which includes items 2) a rough guideline for choice of items: If said Pokemon is frequently attacking and does not care excessively...

I don't disagree with the bolded text regarding Flash Cannon, but the first use of it seems out of place. Perhaps it should be moved to after the next bold statement, with a note that it should take Eruption slot if used with Protect (Choice Heatran typically uses Flash Cannon as its 4th move...

If Zapdos-G had two rankings of 5, two of 4 and one 3, wouldn't it be moved up to 4 instead of remaining at 5? The median value is 4, and is equivalent to two "stay in 5" and three "move up a rank."

I think the order of the moves should be changed to reflect their overal usefulness: name: Speed Control move 1: Sticky Web move 2: Tailwind move 3: Moonblast move 4: Pollen Puff item: Focus Sash ability: Shield Dust nature: Timid evs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Sticky Web is the reason you're...

My thoughts on Dynamax are largely but not entirely in response to other people's. In a traditional Smogon sense of the definition of broken, I consider Dynamax to be the single most broken thing to ever be introduced to Pokemon. A description of arguably the most broken Pokemon in any...

Haven't played SS recently too, but my thoughts are that prior to Lando-I's rise, the only dominant Ground-type attacker was Zygarde. The metagame was only geared towards handling it as a Ground-type attacker (and Lando-T being managed indirectly since the metagame isn't kind to it). Lando-I...

Why do you need calcs to know that there is a 75% chance to hit Garchomp with Sand Veil?
