A bit.... late. T-T

Anyway, let's go back to discussing random B/W shit, why don't we? =D

OK, so for the first thing I have a new pokemon. And here we have a pokemon that's hot for topic debates: Shandderaa!

It has very interesting typing with a very unoriginal twist: it's a floating candle with ghost/ fire typing. So not the best way to go about it all, but hey we'll take new type combinations any way that ninendo will hand them out!

So for its base stats we have ;
60 HP / 55 Atk / 90 Def / 145 SpA / 90 SpD / 80 Spe

So we have 145 SpA, which is def quite deadly with access to Fire Blast and Shadow Ball for STABs, with the other slots having potential to just cover random threats. It gets Hidden Power and.... well, tbh that's pretty much it. With an attacking stat of 427 and access to Calm Mind, I'm sure it could leave at least a dent in Suicune. And with decent enough defenses, it probably won't OHKO back while you easily 2HKO it. Not that it can really come in anyway, thanks to his amazing ability: Shadow tag!

Nintendo is stupid. ><'

For a more offensive set you can go FB, SB, CM + HP and Life Orb. Just get in a CM and attempt to sweep. CB Scizor is dead now, and coming into Forretress to kill it instantly(unless everything starts running Shed Shell) means that Spin Blocking isn't impossible.... yet. Only time will truly tell.

Everyone is going "ZOMG Sub+CM is too broken," when they seem to forget an amazing move: Taunt. Since it lasts a full three turns always, you don't have to worry about mistimings throwing you off. I'd use something like:

Shanderaa @ Leftovers
Shadow Tag: Timid
252 HP, 4 Defense, 252 Speed
Flamethrower
Shadow Ball
Taunt
Calm Mind

The defenses aren't that bad, and Fire+Ghost has some pretty decent coverage; unless the pokemon you bring it in on has Shed Shell and goes to Tyranitar, you should guarantee at least a kill. Decent 90/90 defenses work great with 60 HP, so max HP gives a bigger boosts to the defenses than anything else.

For a move we have Spycho Shock/ Break, new psychic moves that use the pokemon's SpA stat but uses the opponent's defense stat.

Basically means "fuck you Blissey." That's it, though, because you've lowered your overall damage output since it has only 80 BP compared to Psychic's 95. Unless your name is mewtwo, then you have a base 100 version of this, so yeah. Use it. Offensive CM with Psycho Break/ Flamethrower/GK/CM will be cool, but watch out for Lati twins as well as Giratina and Lugia. Ice Beam covers all three, but then you'd likely need to drop Flamethrower/ GK and use Aura Sphere.

Overconfidence is a new ability that, when a pokemon kills another, they get an attack increase. This would be cool until you consider the pokemon that get it... Gyarados, the new Ground/ Dark type, Salamence, heracross. jesus christ, did they really NEED it?!?!?! I don't think it will be broken, but we'll see as time goes on.

And finally for item we have the pre-evolution stone, which is cool because any NFE gets a 1.5 boost in both defenses. Chansey becomes a menace, and Shelgon is a pretty good wish passer(assuming wish works the same way it did in gen4, which it may not). Golbat is getting some love, and iirc Onix has denet speed stat, so it may be able to put it to decent use with a more offensive oriented set.... again, who knows.

Gen V is looking awesome, to be honest. I can't wait till a simulator comes out with it. If you know one that already has it, PLEASE send me a PM or hit me up on AIM or something so I can play it. I want to use my Zekrom soooo badly! T-T
