Noir

Yet again, dear Viridescent, you have my thanks. I'll insert it the main list later on.

I have a personal preference for Rowlet.It's just kawaii and appealing, really.

I personally find Dark types good choices, naturally. Krookodile can get up Moxie boosts and resists the Psychic field to attempt a sweep, for example, whereas Honchkrow is also a solid pick. Radomus team generally isn't very fast whereas being able to eliminate his Trick Room setters first (most of which are quite vulnerable). Bug types like Leavanny/Heracross/Pinsir (not sure if you can get them pre-Radomus but if you go to the right places you probably can) also do well as they get rid of his Trick Room setters easily. Infernape can help VS his Metagross and Exeggutor, actually, so it's not entirely useless.

If you're inclined to take the risk to head back to older episodes where it's sold in the Dept Store that's an option if you want them badly. If you want to be true to restrictions of the game and stuff though, there's no officiated way to get it yet, so we gotta wait.

Thanks a whole lot for the Magnezone post, added to the list. Feel free to add more!

If you've seen the recent episode, this is first time, possibly ever, that we actually get to see Diantha's Mega Gardevoir get phazed by something instead of blinking around. Funny as that Ash-Greninja's moveset is, it's power is not just for show. The devs are taking the whole "do something awesome, then have Ash and the frog faint" approach though. This is the second time since Alain's battle, and I'm inclined to believe that we can see this with Sawyer as well.

The team is pretty weak to Fairies in general; Mega Altaria can reliably tank everything on your team bar Metagross (Iron Head only helps so much especially on a Scarfed Terrakion), whereas Mega Diancie also outspeeds both of your special sweepers, with again Metagross and a safe Terrakion being your only cushion and revenge killer for it. While more rare than Latios, a bulky Latias can also handle your team pretty well. I'm not wholly biased against the way you build your Metagross, but I'd note that there are generally much better Steels out there. Heatran is probably a superior choice over either Metagross or Lando-T since it checks birdspam/Fairies and deals with Latios/Latias, while also not making your team as vulnerable as it is to MegaGross, which also poses a threat to your team especially considering your Lando-T is slow and not defensive. Heatran also benefits from sun and also prevents things from taking advantage of your own sun to nail things with HP Fire, all the while being a Stealth Rock user and a good check as a Taunt variant to most other walls(watch out for Earth Power/EQ though). Run Roost on Latios, like Viridescent had said. You need the sustainability on Defog Latios. You could rework your Lando-T into a Scarf set since you already have an SR user if you pick Heatran or another bulky Steel over Gross. I'm not that experienced with teams around MegaZard Y, but I hope my opinion was helpful.

Athene's old passive is now on Morello, so I guess the mana issue isn't that bad. Athene's is now a pretty nice item for healing supports as it gives you extra healing based off charges you gain by dealing damage within an interval.

Happy birthday, and I hope you enjoy the year.

Alas, my time to make an OC and return to Roleplaying has possibly arrived:

I have a personal preference for Drain Punch over Seed Bomb on Chesnaught, simply because it hits that much more relevant threats such as Hydreigon and Cobalion (he can Taunt you and wall you if you opt for Seed Bomb) and it also heals which gives you more tankiness. The team also has a relative weakness to Mega Aerodactyl. I wouldn't consider Absol's Sucker Punch a reliable answer so it can steamroll or give your team big trouble once Empoleon is dead. Even then Earthquake variants can also rip it apart.

You'd have to run more than the atypical 40/252+ spread, or Reckless Mienshao can 2HKO you after SR. 188 HP EVs narrow it down to 0.4% chance after SR from the usual 50%, but you lose a ton of special bulk. Just an option. Even then, Mienshao isn't really comfortable with HJK spam knowing that most giant Luvdiscs carry Protect.

I'd personally also judge your final member based on how far you are into the game; the team isn't particularly weak to any battle whatsoever and has overall solid synergy. You're lacking a Dark/Ghost resist, but that's sorta non-existent at your point of the game anyway. To that vein, an offensive Fighting type or a tanky Fairy type would be a sound addition.

Just a bunch of sonnets before bed. I am rinky-dink when it comes to literature, but eh. Hope you enjoy and feedback is appreciated. The Promise of the Winds An eternity she dreamt of them there Under the evening sunshine The rain of dandelions The pleasant scent of irises Alone, the two of them, all in perfect align The gusts of the spring enveloped them; And his eyes oathed to her: “I shall return, no more wars.” His hands vowed to her: “My heart and soul, forever yours.” His heart promised her: “Your sadness but a story read,” His lips reassured her: “For when I return, no more tears shall you shed,” And a ring he slipped on her finger: “We meet here again, and we shall be wed.” T’was long since their oath, till come that fateful day With the petals of the flora at the winds, asway Veiled and in white she was, tranquil, in wait For their reunion, and the love they should share, in spate. The sky’s orange draped itself black Yet to come he was, inside, her heart began to crack A tear she shed, and a whisper she heard She wondered; was she haunted or assured? She felt him, she heard him – but yet, why was he not there? What should she have felt at the sound – happiness, or despair? Her emotions, her tears – sorrow or joy? An allusion amidst her confusion Or the winds at her feelings, the truth but its mischievous ploy? Contrition They say the only time you crave for fruits Is when the trees meet their end. They say the only time you complain of your money Is when you no longer have any to spend. They say the only time you wish for your youth Is when it passes, ending, without avail. They say the only time you wish for you wish for another chance Is when you lose your last; when you meet yourself a fail. Do you permit your contrition To take over you, amidst your confusion? Do you give in to your remorse And lose the winning play in your court? Do you succumb to your sorrow To cease oneself, releasing your tomorrow? Do you allow yourself to rue And bid all else with but a simple adieu? A blossom you find, but lose its fragrance. "Regret", you subtly utter; Yet at a time it became your happy substance Why render it asunder? What stays in your reminiscence Will be your growing essence. The seven coloured bridge in a salubrious sky It needed the rain for its beauty so high And to your qualms that bother you so To contrite is to ruin; learn, and let them go.

Just my blunt two cents, no offense. Probably the easiest change from here is to opt for a more defensively-orientated spread on your Rotom. On another note, nothing can really help you stomach a hit from Dragons that well, while your fastest two Pokemon are also pretty easily checked by Hydreigon. By the way, Vaporeon is a bad Pokemon in UU, sitting at the bottom of the barrel in the viability rankings. I know your team appears to have a severe Scald allergy, but if you want a tanky Water use Suicune, whereas if you want a reliable cleric use Florges. I recommend the latter as it also somehow miglitates your weakness against Hydreigon while also being able to reliably Wish pass and tank Scald.

I can expect Flash Cannon from Titania and Dazzling Gleam from Adreinn, possibly. I guess Toxic would be helpful as a TM even if this game isn't wholly competitively based. Move tutors are also sorta important as we're missing out on several ones. The elemental punches can be spared because they add much diversity, but if they're going to give Drill Run, for instance, they might as well give other tutors that are considerably balanced in its distribution and use such as Zen Headbutt and Low Kick.
