    Except most of those don't even work half the time. I've tried many of them, and so far none of them have actually worked every time. Kyurem-B usually kills most of that before they even get a chance. Sometimes I feel like people make-up counters just to justify not banning them.

     

    Um.. these checks/counters have been tried and true. Maybe youre just not using them properly? Kyurem-B IS a wallbreaker, after all. Its primary purpose in OU is to break down walls and other defensive Pokemon.

     

    Speaking of banning stuff, Haxorus is currently undergoing a suspect test for UU, so it may end up becoming BL.

     

    Oh and apparently some minor tier changes due to bans:

     

    065-m.pngUU -> BL

    065.png UU -> UU (No Change)

    637.pngUU -> BL

    213.pngRU -> BL2

    Shadow Tag -> Banned from UU and lower

    Drizzle -> Banned from UU and lower

    Drought -> Banned from UU and lower

    I feel obligated to post these:

    ^ Speaking of Witch Leyline, her stronger versions never did less damage in any of the fighters.

    ^ you completely removed any and all priority that this move had. Also 25 damage for the light version is REALLY underpowered.

    Wow, they ban Pokemon who aren't even that broken, and yet REFUSE to ban Kyurem-B. People do realise that King's Shield only protects against attacks, right? It has no defense against Will-O-Wisp or Taunt or other things.

    You may be thinking I'm weird, but truth be told I really haven't had that many problems fighting Aegislash. But Kyurem-B seems almost unbeatable, and the only times I actually HAVE beaten it is if I got lucky. Plus, from what I know, Kyurem-B only has a few counters.

     

    Kyurem-B isnt broken, and most Aegislash always run Sp.Atk investment so burn is a non-issue.

     

    Speaking of counters for Kyurem-B:

     

     

    Checks and Counters

    ########

    **Super effective priority**: Bullet Punch from Mega Scizor and Mach Punch from Conkeldurr and Breloom can fell slightly weakened Kyurem-B if it's not behind a Substitute.

    **Mixed walls**: Pokemon such as Chansey, Ferrothorn, Tyranitar, Assault Vest Conkeldurr, and Assault Vest Excadrill that have good mixed bulk handle the Substitute set well. However, they have to watch out for Outrage and some even Dragon Claw, and Ferrothorn with 128 Special Defense EVs cannot even be 2HKOed by Life Orb Ice Beam.

    **Fast Fighting- and Dragon-types**: Latios, Latias, Terrakion, Keldeo, and Garchomp can all revenge kill Kyurem-B, forcing it out or eliminating it if it's locked into Outrage and not hiding behind a Substitute.

    **Stealth Rock**: Kyurem-B's weakness to Stealth Rock means that if you can keep it up, it loses 25% of its HP upon switching in. This limits its number of switch-in opportunities and wears it down extremely fast, making it easier to handle overall.

    **Status**: Prankster Will-O-Wisp from the likes of Mega Banette and Sableye limits Kyurem-B's potency to an extent due to neutering Fusion Bolt and Outrage. Non-Prankster Will-O-Wisp users are generally KOed or would rather attack it, so they're not very significant. Toxic makes it faint extremely quickly if it stays in, wearing it down especially quickly with Life Orb and possible Stealth Rock damage. Paralysis makes it much easier to deal with, too, as it allows the large range of Pokemon outsped by Kyurem-B to hit it first.

    **Fairy-types**: In particular, physically defensive Clefable and are immune to Outrage and generally handle Kyurem-B well. Both can handle the Substitute and specially based mixed sets decently, and Sylveon and Mega Gardevoir can even hit it behind its Substitute because Hyper Voice ignores it. However, Iron Head and for all but Clefable invested Fusion Bolt will send them packing.

     

    I count a total of 21 checks & counters in there.

    The next batch of CoroCoro information has been posted to Japanese forums and this batch showcases more information about the games. First, it shows the new Pokédex, which appears based on the GameBoy Advance, as well as a piece labelled Madame Pikachu. Another shows Brawly. We'll bring more as they come

    Brawly redesign actually doesnt look too bad. Now why couldn't May get the same treatment? :p

    I'll keep the thread open in case people who haven't voted yet want to vote to qualify for TC, but the future votes don't matter towards the result.

    We had 85 qualified voters with a 60% requirement to ban, meaning 51 votes needed to ban.

    At the moment, Deoxys-D has 66 ban votes and Deoxys-S has 67 ban votes, so both are easily banned with at worst (assuming the remaining votes are all no ban) 78% and 79% percentage supermajorities.

    Thanks for participating and/or following the suspect test.

    We'll have this reflected in our showdown server and appropriate OU tournaments ASAP.

    Actually Flavens is Rice's OC. Daniel just borrows her from Rice often.

    It's complicated.

     

    Posting to confirm this. Best way to think of it is that he's using her "under license".

     

    Still, its not half bad. Not as detailed as the others though (plus shes missing a few details like her glasses but I'll excuse those). Might I request her sister Hikari, though? (Dan's pic of her for reference)
