Does Greninja do it better now as well with the Tapus running around? Sorry I'm not too good at competitive Smogon and don't really know how to get better.

Yes, muuuuch better. Greninja has never stopped being a top tier threat for OU, in Gen VII it doesn't seem to be any different. Meanwhile, Starmie is UU again in usage.

Doubt it. I doesn't really counter much in Prebank or Postbank OU especially with gaining a huge common weakness this time

Greninja stopped being a top tier threat in OU when they sent it to Ubers.

Getting banned doesn't stop you from being a menace to a lower tier. That's why it's banned. Greninja has always been either OU or Ubers, never lower than "A" rank in viability, so obviously Starmie will never compare in Hyper offense

I'm not sure what I should even switch out for. I'm not too familiar with this meta. What type of process do you usually go through when switching out a Pokemon?

Starmie doesn't need to compare with Greninja to be in OU if it ends up banned again.

Ash-Greninja won't be banned, and it hits harder and faster than Starmie. Hell, even base torrent Greninja hits harder and faster. So?

The weakness thing is why Mantine won't be OU in the end. Just a shittier Skarmory thats Bl2 at best.

Well shit. Then I guess literally no Pokemon has been OU since Genwun now. At least we still have T-Tar and Skarmory which are the next best things, and those won't be going anywhere anytime soon.

Ohh. Since it's singles HO, you should check out Smogon's bazaar

http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/sm-ou-bazaar.3587317/

You'll find some decent teams there. There was a better thread about good cores for OU, I don't know where it is. You should focus on that first, make sure all of your 6 mons fulfill a certain role and can be supported by one another. Also take in account top threats like Pheromosa, Landorus, Greninja, Genesect, Tapu Lele and Hoopa when teambuilding.

You should learn all type matchups and then it'll be as simple as using Notepad to list out your stuff

Physically/Digitall writing it down yourself increases your brain's ability to remember and think on it.

Yeah, but non Protean Greninja would be RU at best. It's only OU-viable due to it's new form.

Ash Greninja will be banned if normal Greninja is since Smogon doesn't distinguish between both of them despite having different abilities.

What, Gengar? No. It's not viable in OU anymore, it's outclassed now.
