Anyone still play RBY? I've got a tourney that I'm in on Smogon which I won my first round really narrowly. Like had to PP stall a +6/+6 Slowbro after Chansey freeze battle level narrowly.

I feel the same way.

Claus, I'll get you one! Just add my FC, and it should be no problem. I'll take just about anything - I already have a ton of Dittos, but if you have one with perfect Attack & Special Attack, that'd be perfect.
EDIT: Found! I'm willing to trade when you are.

What are people's thoughts on Umbreon in OU. I've been using a set of Wish / Protect / Foul Play / Heal Bell.
It does a very solid job of nailing Gengars and is able to take many special attacks, it does well against pretty much every ghost in the game which is why I've been able to justify running a spinner over a defogger, which means I can keep my hazards more often, and it passes pretty decent wishes, as well as being really bulky on both sides to take advantage of it's STAB Foul Play.
I've been combining it with a physically defensive Mega Venusaur, who is able to take the Fairy and Fighting types attacks aimed for it, and then I have a Heatran to set my rocks and deal with the Pokes that annoy those two. I have extra protection from fighting types in my offensive pokes and I'm finding this balanced build to be working very well.

I like the idea - I think this gen's OU eeveelutions will be Jolteon, Vaporeon (by a nosehair), and Umbreon, with Espeon competing for a spot against Mega Absol.

It's not really - I swear everyone goes for the T-wave or spikes or spore or etc, only to have it bounced back on them, because no one apparently expects Mega Absol?

Umbreon has a better shot than last gen, but I still don't know if it'll be OU. Dark is still a pretty iffy defensive typing, and without toxic or roar, a lot of things can setup on you, especially fighting types. You're also losing momentum to U-turn spam from the likes of Scizor and Genesect. But if it's got teammates covering its weaknesses I'm sure it can be a rock in a defensive core. Does it really stop Gengar though, if it uses focus blast? Come to think of it I've hardly faced any Gengars at all this gen on PO. Maybe people aren't interested in it with Mega Gengar banned, though it's still a solid attacker without the evolution.

Focus Blast seems to do about 54% max from what I've experienced. Which is more than you gain from a round of Wish + Protect. Add the miss chance and the tiny PP. Umbreon does very well.

Everytime I try to post here it's like this guy has given the answer with my exact opinion, just articulated far better.
So, guys. Let's all breed a shitton of Delibird, give them good items, and wonder trade them away on Christmas! I saw it on facebook, and I'm trying to spread it.
