People really need to stop with Choice Scarf Incineroar. Like…whhhhhhhhyyy? Who thought that was a good idea? People really leaving all that damage on the table from a banded set or life orb with leech life recovery, Or a taunt set to check defensive pokes. For base 90 speed??? What threats is it out speeding with that??? Like stop, get it the fuck outta here. Speed isn’t everything. I know people better not still be doing that BS when Incineroar gets intimidate. I’d love to see the fool who passes up an assault vest intimidate combo on top of all that already solid bulk for base 90 speed.
You realize inciniroar has base 60 speed
I think he’s adding the Scarf
That doesnt add up still
Scarf doesnt make him base 90, it gives him 1.5x to his actual speed stat. So with max possible speed (240), a scarf would bring him to 1.5x that.
Makes him 1 point faster than max speed swoobat (base 114)
My guess is for the surprise factor, Fire/Dark defensively has a lot of holes that can be exploited. Nobody is expecting it to go first, so when he does he can score a lot of revenge kills.
Ok my mistake. But still that only brings him to a speed of 360.The speedier threats still stomp on him. And he has to sacrifice adamant nature for that. Not worth it to me. For me. A choice scarfer should have a decent enough speed stat. Where a scarf would allow them to revenge kill or check certain threats regardless of their speed unless they themsleves are scarfed or have a priority moves. Or are stupidly fast like Pheramosa. Like the OG choice scarfer Heracross. His base speed is 85. High enough so that he could go adamant and still make choice scarf very effective. Not the case with incineroar. Incineroar would serve a team much better with a band, wallbreaker or assault vest initimdate combo when it is available IMO.
Almost ready for gen 7 battles, the first team I’ve been battling with just went 9-1. Only loss is to Bulldancer.
This mega evolution meta is crazy, everything becoming so fucking powerful. The ones I’m seeing a lot are Mega Latias/Latios, Mega Lopunny, Mega Zard, wow. Somebody had an interesting set with Lopunny, I’m thinking about stealing that 
No lie, I haven’t laughed that hard in a while. That last match…
@Bious what’s the deadline on the fashion, I can submit but trying for a certain piece of gear from moon on the festival plaza first if I got time before submissions close.
Thats an okay speed tier to hit. 110 is the golden speed stat right now (basically where the majority of OU pokes are) so being able to outrun that can work. He’s good coverage and power in his STABs.
I agree that there are better things to run a scarf on but people are still in new toy syndrome
This match brought me physical pain.
This coming Friday.
BTW Wi-Fi signups end tonight!
No one listened to Tapu Loco
When you say dont watch a replay after you post it, we’re gonna make god damn sure that’s the one we watch
It was garbage tier btw
Po is in for wi-fi… Despite not having anything competitive ready to use.

Hey you posted it. That’s some Inception~esque logic right there.

This had some thought to it…I am however not happy so far… I love using as a cleaner Porygon Z even if it’s predictable as hell now. I lack a spinner here but should I change dynamics to accommodate one? Like I thought about dropping Magnezone and Lando for exadrill but then what? So far I am keeping Araquanid and Porygon Z.
Hey ya got any tips and advice for making the breeding process easier or faster? At the moment I’m working on a team consisting of
Incineroar/Adamant/either banded, life orbed or assault vest
Tsareena/ Adamant or Jolly/ Scarfed or dual screens
Tapu Koko/Timid/ Air Balloon
Gyrados/Adamant or Jolly/ Leftovers
And I’m not sure for the last 2. I was thinking could Incineroar with vest and HP investment could serve as a special wall. Use him to check Lele and some other special threats?
Tsareena with her ability just makes for a great Choice Scarfer.
Tapu Koko is Tapu Koko ans he and Tsareen have Volt Turn combo.
I was thinking of running a taunt bulky sweeper for Gyrados.
