More than half of them do, this one was a good sport.

Here's an example of of someone getting mad, btw the crit DID NOT matter seeing as thunderbolt was a 2hko from there based on charge beam damage.

So as far as singles go I'm liking the sub roost dd set. I'm running 40 speed ev's to outspeed scarf lando-t at +1. I also run a ton of bulk.

What nature is the best? Currently i'm running +Sp. Def and it's been tanking non stab ice beams pretty well.

Is there any reason why i would want to use adamant/more evs in attack?

This is how stupid you sound.

Just make sure to carry some Sylveon/Mega Gardevoir and Mega Mawile killer and you'll be good.

Not that anyone gives a fuck about Singles on cart. 3 vs 3 is a joke and finding people for 6 vs 6 is a hassle.

All you should be playing on cart is doubles. I just pray that ORAS has a fucking ladder for VGC15. It's fucking stupid how the "official meta" does not have a option to be played on Battle Spot. As expected from Gamefreak, their incompetency knows no limit.

They should really introduce a switching limit. Excluding move-based switches, you should only be allowed 8-10 switches max.

That doesn't justify your argument, no matter how annoying it is.

Banning switching because, you know, it's part of a strategy and you don't allow that?
Come on, man. Come on. Has smo___ really sunk that low?

Holy shit M-Mence is bulky. That thing just refuses to die. I wonder what the guys at GF were thinking when they decided to give this much bulk to a Pokemon that's pretty much the most terrifying sweeper in the entire game. Seriously:

yfw gamefreak will say "in vgc you can handle salamence so we dont need to nerf it in the next game, like kangamilf" ok ssly kangamilf was solid strong in doubles but salamence is a joke and in singles salamence is a braindead son of a bitch, the is the first time i hate a pokemon, even while i playing it by myself lmao

I can't think of a format where Mega Salamence isn't viable. Even in Inverse Battles, it profits from the fact that Dragon has god-tier coverage again.
>>21659990
>what nature is best
Any nature that isn't Lax, Gentle, or -Speed.
>>21661601
Vanilla Salamence has never actually had any counters. Adding Aerilate and 100 points to that was never not going directly to Ubers. Do not pass Go, do not waste time on a Suspect Test.
Thank god it didn't get Extreme Speed, at least.

that was your first mistake dummy. sometimes you just have to let things die, it wasn't needed anymore anyways and you let genesect get 2HKO for no reason

although that hax was absurd

I've never had a problem with it or the other OU pokemon that eventually became Ubers (considering I don't use any of them)

Am I the only one that feels this way or am I just too far high on the ladder..

Garchomp doesn't have Dragon Dance. If it could Mega Evolve without falling to a shitty speed tier, it would've been horrifying.

They didnt give garchomp and insane ability for the brst type in the game, and garchomp DOES NOT get dd so that speed drop hurt it.

Fact of the matter is that salamence would have been more broken with a lower speed stat.
