    I don't especially like Lucario, especially when Mienshao exists. Lucario does have Extremespeed over Mienshao, which is its claim to fame in OU.

    Golem had its moment of glory back in gen 1 when more specialised Rocks and Grounds were yet to exist, but even then, it had stiff competition from Rhydon -- which I find to be a far more interesting Pokémon. It's not much to look at, and it's difficult to use. So I guess Golem is pretty down...

    I don't understand. Treecko doesn't have a signature move, and its ATK is 45 (whereas SpA is 65). Unless you're referring to Leaf Blade (which Treecko does not learn), in which case Sceptile's SpA is still 105 vs. 85.

    Aron is adorable, but Aggron is even more adorable. One of my favourite families!

    Incidental stalling is a little different from relying on it.

    I would still opt for Giga Drain for added longevity, although the difference between 75 and 120 is large. Still, that's what Quiver Dance is for, and if I want a high-octane finisher, there is the 140-power Leaf Storm. I think you mean support rather than defensive, as Whimsicott is...

    Chlorophyll is still better than Own Tempo, I think. It's just that good of an ability. 90 speed is good ingame, but only fairly decent competitively; being faster than most Chlorophyll users ensures it outruns anything in the sun. It also allows you to opt for Growth over Quiver Dance. Petal...

    Lilligant is cute and excellent. Except I still like Vileplume more, so I'm rather irritated its spread/movepool are more competitive.

    ... it's also terrible ingame. 140 DEF is pretty stellar, sure, but that's in concert with typing. Bastiodon has 168 DEF, and it sucks. Significantly nerfing your *one* good stat (Skarmory only has 80 ATK, mind) when Autotomise exists is really pointless. You really can't say that dying faster...

    ... why? Weak Armor is basically the worst idea for Skarmory ever. At any rate, I Like Skarmory. Not as much as its super-adorable buddy Mantine, but I do like it a lot. Up there as far as Steel-types go, and there's only a few I do like. Shame it's not quite what it once was competitively...

    If it looks grassy because it's green, does Octillery look fiery? You could also play with banned weather starters or play in a lower tier. While I really like Poliwrath, I honestly do, I'm curious as what your reasoning is behind claiming "Poliwrath is better", given the only other thing that...

    Koma (komatana) are pieces in Shogi, sure, but Bisharp's (kirikizan) name doesn't imply Shogi at all, so I'm inclined to believe the name is just a clever play on kogatana (in the sense that Pawniard are just expendable peons to the Bisharp; the French and German names suggest the same. Only the...

    Hey. Can we not forget for awhile that Pokémon are Japanese first? The English names are the only ones with ties to chess, meaning their designs actually have nothing to do with chess. (Semi-relatedly, the German name Caesurio is the best.)

    Eh. I still have a hard time registering Bisharp as a Pokemon. It's also not very good.

    In BW2, they get Dig *and* Earthquake! Though I agree it's ridiculous it took that long.

    Carracosta also disappointed me. Even after Shell Smash, it was often too slow, which is a shame, considering how well it works with Sturdy. After defeating Iris (B2 mono-Water), I boxed mine in lieu of Swampert. As far as fossils go, I think I still prefer Omastar as a Water/Rock. Though the...

    Mienshao is potentially (probably) my favourite gen 5 Pokemon. It's adorable and takes names.
