>Bone Rush
I will never understand why people think they need Fire coverage. ESPECIALLY on Mega Lucario, where Adaptability CC does more damage than Earthquake. >Iron Head For some reason it doesn't.

I already have ExtremeSpeed, so Priority isn't an issue.

I second that, does Dragonite get Iron head? Because if it does i need to do some maintenance.
Also I get all twitchy and nervous when I'm not covering a base that something that is way too common in the meta can abuse the crap out of. And out of all the legends I see, Heatran is one of the most common. So, not sure if we all have heard but Kanghaskanite is being suspected in doubles and a number of legends have been removed from RU, namely Azelf, Kyuurem, Raikou and Tornadus, and one non legend has been removed, that being Sableye. Not sure why Kyurem was in RU to begin with, best I can think of is the presence of people who love to "lolFocusBlast" all over the plac, which cripples Kyurem. Though it isn't that common from what I've seen on Showdown. It was MUCH more rampant in B/W 2's PWT though. Funny.

I have no idea.
>RU RU got rid of the stuff that was definitely not supposed to be in RU in the first place. It had nothing to do with them being legends. Remember, the tiers are made primarily from Usage stats, and Kyurem isn't common because of his low speed and Stealth Rock weakness.

Yeah, usage stats explains why many legends aren't Ubers, in fact i think i've said many a time why thats probably the best explanation. Some dont like their weaknesses, others just don't think they should be used because of their status, like myself.

>Implying that Uber has anything to do with usage stats
Admittedly something that gets bumped to Uber would probably be super-popular, but that's really not how it gets decided. |

Ubers is completely different and is based on how powerful something is in the OU meta.

Mixed Lucario is hard to use but can be good. Choice Band Mixed Lucario should not and does not exist

Is Moxie supposed to work like this? (not my match)
So yeah, I dunno if this is a Showdown glitch or a 6th gen glitch as a whole, but on turn five, Pyroar uses Hyper Voice. Hawlucha gets hit and survives, activating the Red Card, forcing Pyroar to switch out. Hyper Voice then KOs Golduck, giving Noivern a Moxie boost. Huh? |

The way Moxie is prioritized in action order, that is possible. Whether it happens in the games, I'm not sure

It's likely not a glitch. I'd still see what smogon has to say about it though.

Phoopes with the inside schoopes. And RU's pretty cool now. Haven't played it much with the new bans, but they shouldn't change much besides removing the op. Wall breaker Emboar looks fun.

Did not realize that Random Doubles was a thing until SoS's post. Decided to give it a go.
Here's my fourth game of four played so far. Was by far the closest of the four. Spoiler: show

Yeah, it wasn't even that I was excellent at predicting. The EQ and some Sucker Punches I can claim, but the rest I wasn't exactly expecting anything in the first place.

He got waaaaaaaaaaaaay too lucky. he evaded like 3 will-o-wisps in a row, with a 15% chance to dodge ONE alone, and he dodged like 3 straight with avalugg. And then they stuck you with omastar and him with a mega pseudo-legend.

My second Doubles Random win where the score is better than 2-0.
I failed to save the first one, which happened last night. Pretty much every other Doubles Random match in between has been close, but this one -- despite the overwhelming odds against me early on with an incredibly fast yet non-choice locked Kyogre -- ended up managing to be a 4-0 victory. Still not crazy about Doubles. This is a fun little distraction from the usual circuits, but other than VGC having the allure of being "official" I can't say I'm too won over yet. (And yes: I realize that Doubles =/= VGC. You know what I'm saying.)
