[GUILD] Elemental Elites
Noah_Road:
Barbacle is an interesting Pokemon. It gets Shell Smash and has a great movepool, but is unfortunately outclassed by Cloyster. Even after a Shell Smash, many choice scarfed Pokemon can still outspeed Barbacle (something Cloyster usually doesn't have to worry about). The combination of Waterfall/Stone Edge/Cross Chop is really useful and nothing in the upper tiers resist it.
Barbacle also has 2 great abilites in Tough Claws and Sniper. With Tough Claws, Waterfall hits like a bullet train after Shell Smash and with Sniper, Stone Edge and Cross Shop are almost always going to land a critical hit thanks to the new gen 6 mechanics. Stone Edge and Cross Chop's accuracy are still kinda weary though.

Update about Fairy research:
People are finally breeding perfect Aegislash on the Battle Spots. This....is bad for Fairies XD
Aegislash's combo of Iron Head/Sacred Sword/Shadow Sneak completely wrecks most Fairies. If it doesn't run Swords Dance, I can carefully check it with bulky tank Togekiss and OHKO its Sword Forme with Flamethrower and its Shield Forme with Fire Blast. If it does run Swords Dance, I have to gamble with double switches between Togekiss and Mawile.
If I can get Gardevoir in safely, I can mega evolve and OHKO with Shadow Ball while only have to fear the 67.93% chance of a OHKO from Shadow Sneak.
Belly Drum/Play Rough/Aqua Jet/Superpower Azumarilll is amazing right now! It really synergies with Klefki who can set down Spikes easily thanks to Prankster.
I've determined that Crobat will not be a serious threat until December in simulators and Battle Spots. I'd like to test it on PU's simulator since it should have Heat Wave already but we don't have gen 6 running yet.
Roloc:
Gen 6 won't be running on the PU balance server for a while.
Ponge, Shadowfred, and myself will be balancing them AFTER we do testing with them. We can't test them until all information is datamind. Thats going to take a while.
@Chad
I agree, I don't see the whole point with all the seahorses being dragons. Also its a SEAHORSE why did it lose it's water type. Gamefreak is just stupid. O.o
Mega Gyarados being water/dark is stupid too, it's a dragon people, why the chansey would you make it a dark type.
Chad29:
Aegislash shield form may give Bronzong a run for its money for best steel wall.
I can kind of see Gyarados being part dark since it's a scary, violent pokemon. Still I just don't know why they'd pick part dark over dragon. Unless they made it dragon/dark. Gamefreak does not always make clear sense.
Roloc:
I think gamefreak just chooses things at random and throws them together sometimes. ._.
Chad29:
I wonder if I could get someone to redo my little elemental elites banner. I would like the Elemental Elites part in the bottom to be brighter, and easier to read. Just make it a lighter blue. Also give me Gyarados, Starmie, and Greninja.
