Tornadus Therian has a blistering 121 base speed, which means if you want to revenge it, you NEED a Scarfer. It still has extremely respectable SpA, which allows him to spam STAB Hurricanes like no one’s business in the Rain. Oh, and it has Regenerator which makes it even more annoying to deal with.
Thunderus Therian has a ridiculous 145 SpA, along with very respectable 101 Base Speed. Taking things like a STAB Tbolt/Thunder from it is not very fun in the least. It knows Nasty Plot to boost that further. Add the fact that it has Volt Absorb which makes it easier for it to switch in, and you have a monster in the making.
Landorus Therian…meh, he’s lacking. Pretty much the only niche he fills over Incarnate Landorus is being a better defensive pivot.
Is that guy tweeking or something? The way he’s talking so freakin fast is weird. Plus the edited bleach logo + typical FF7 + whipped kinda explains it all. :lol:
Have you tried Pokemon Showdown yet? They made a recharge move for Magikarp in random battles that’s a 120 BP physical water attack that drains HP, lowers the opponent’s stats, confuses, and gives Magikarp Aqua Ring and Magic Coat.

Stat adjustments and new abilities. The pure flying type, Tornadus, is considered the best actually. Regenerator is a huge boost for it and the base 121 speed means that it can just u-turn away for most threats and regenerate damage from u-turn and Life Orb. The loss of special attack is kind of unfortunate, though since it misses out on some Life Orb OHKOs and 2HKOs that it had before. Tornadus T gains some much needed longevity in exchange for slightly weaker attacks and emergency Tailwinds and Rain Dances that it didn’t even need to use often.
Thundurus T is basically a slower, but stronger version of Thundurus without priority T Wave. There’s still no counter to the Nasty Plot set, but he’s easier to revenge kill and outsped by quite a few things now. That said, I kind of expect him to be banned like regular Thundurus was. He’s extremely powerful both on and against Rain teams.
Landorus T seems to be the least used of the 3. It’s slower than normal Landorus, but it has more attack. More attack, however doesn’t necessarily equate to more damage as normal Landorus hits harder in the Sand because of its ability. In addition, going from a trolly base 101 speed to a mediocre base 91 speed means that Landorus T usually plays a more defensive role. He’s a great switch in to Scizor thanks to Intimidate and can U-turn himself, so he’s finding a niche in a counter-volt/turn strategy.
Stealth Rocks. Ruining Shedinja and Charizard teams since D/P/P.
(That and sand being so popular, fire and rock moves being common, and team preview ruining the suprise of having one meaning once you see it you’ll try not to get locked by it.)
I do enjoy Pokemon Showdown. Teambuilder isn’t as good as PO’s, but the battling tends to be much better (unless you run Zoroark…then you might be miffed).
The hype has died :sad: at least for wifi, online battle simulators appear to be much more convenient in these times.
Shedinja can preform wonderfully (no pun intended) in NU. He just needs a team built around him and his counters out of the way, but that in itself can prove difficult if he is forced out early.
I do agree CB Scizor is better than SD Scizor, but depending on the teams needs SD Scizor can be good. He still gets roost which provides instant healing without losing his heavy resistances. A trapper like Umbreon can work well with SD Scizor.
I would do wifi matches if I would get off my lazy ass and breed some Pokemon. Not like it takes terribly long to do that but I’ve barely tried RNGing in 5th gen.
