Mr. Fox:
I hate how they balanced flying press... can't touch steel, rock, or electric types with it; two of which should be weak to it; making it kinda pointless. Though Power Up Punch is freaking awesome for punishing bad switches.
Chad29:
Why did they decide to do that? What are you going to use it on if it's ineffective against two types you would need a fighting type attack for?
Mr. Fox:
I'm not saying it's not a good move, just balanced wrong. I like what Roloc said about it, it should change it's type based on what it's attacking, fight when hitting things weak or neutral to both of the types, and flying when something weak to flying.
Chad29:
I've been wondering if anyone has considered giving Empoleon more physical attack at the cost of some of its defensive stats. I've always thought he had potential, but I haven't been too impressed by the smogon sets they recommend. If he doesn't get roost, he could just go more offensive, and rely on his high number of resistances instead of superior defensive stats. Not that I'd say drop his defenses way down, but enough to make up for maybe raising his physical attack to 100+.

Empoleon is fine the way it is imo, he can take a ground hit and fight hit, besides close combat, so I like that it has good defense like that or I wouldn't use it, it has enough attack, just make it adamant or something, Xhizor's Empoleon was physical, and his beat mine every time we battled, I use it on every one of my water teams and it always gets at least 2 or 3 kills, if it's defense was dropped any lower I wouldn't use it at all because it would be trash to me, the only attack it would have that would be fast is aqua jet and you and I both know there's a lot of bulky ground types and fire types, so on their turn, Empoleon would be destroyed with an earthquake or a brick break.
