Surprised to see so many people use Charizard, he's pretty useless competitively. Maybe his Mega forms are better than I thought.

A lot.

Charizard X is a great Dragon Dancer sweeper or Bulky Will-O-Wisp'er

Charizard Y is a great wall breaker

Boring or not, it effectively removes one of your pokes from play. If your smart, you only Destiny Bond tho when you know its over for Gengar.

Swords Dance Aegislash?

Cool I'll just switch in my Skarmory and Whirlwind your boosts away.

Or switch to Rotom-W and burn you.

Other pokes like bulky Rock Helmet Garchomp, Mandibuzz, Bisharp, Diggersby, Rotom-H, Zygarde, and Mega Aggron shit all over Aegislash.

Lots of pokes are great but nearly everyone has a counter.

Skarmory? Rotom? lol, if Aegislash has already gotten off a Swords Dance (which it has if you're switching in), they're already dead. Skarmory doesn't resist Shadow Sneak anymore. 150 base attack doubled from buffs with STAB.

+6 Life Orb Shadow Sneak doesn't OHKO Skarmory, you are better off using Sacred Sword anyhow.

This is why I don't fear switching immediately into Skarmory and phazing with Whirlwind.  Same with switching and burning with Rotom-W.

No competant player is going to let you get +6 on Aegislash.

Aegislash is high usage more cause people are using Mixed / Special Aegislash more often now, which in my opinion is superior to Swords Dance sets.

Someone should organize Pokémon Tourney, where's Tbone? It's usually his job to do this.

the problem is there were only like 5-6 users here that would be 100% commited! I was hoping 16+

The best thing is just to have regular 6vs6 matches here unfortunately!

Yeah, that's sad, wish VGChartz was a bit bigger so we could make more tourneys of games like Pokémon, which require more commitment.

Azumarill is quickly becoming one of my favourite Pokemon, it's looking like X and Y is a good time to start competitive.

Azumarill is easily the best fairy type in game (bar a certain legendary).

Play Rough hits like a Mac Truck...

Full of Mac Trucks...

Plus his Belly Drum set is becoming quite popular.

 

Fairy + Ghost moves are quickly becoming the best offensive types cause of their great coverage

I saw a couple of battles on Youtube and I thought holy shit that is one tough cute water fairy bunny. I never thought Azumarill could give a Garchomp a run for it's money.
