Any idea when we'll be getting preliminary viability rankings for the ORAS mons? OU already has an updated list.
Seeing as how Ou had an actual metagame for the last month or so and we only just discovered that mega Ray can hold an item a few days ago, it's far too early to make a preliminary tier list since w/e it might've been before gets absolutely shafted due to mega rayquaza being such a metagame defining threatAny idea when we'll be getting preliminary viability rankings for the ORAS mons? OU already has an updated list.

All you need to know really.
I'm sorry if I missed anything but what're you trying to hit with Solarbeam that doesn't get destroyed by STAB Precipice Blades already? I can see Overheat being used to get past Skarmory and Ferrothorn but I'm not seeing the point of wasting a moveslot on Solarbeam.Solarbeam off of base 150 SpAtk. thats still strong even when uninvested
Um. Off of the top of my head mega Slowbro and others like itI'm sorry if I missed anything but what're you trying to hit with Solarbeam that doesn't get destroyed by STAB Precipice Blades already? I can see Overheat being used to get past Skarmory and Ferrothorn but I'm not seeing the point of wasting a moveslot on Solarbeam.
What exactly does Solar Beam hit?Solarbeam off of base 150 SpAtk. thats still strong even when uninvested
I wonder if bulky distributions work better for weakness policy Mega Ray. Too lazy to run the numbers, but it might allow you to switch into a SE attack and trigger the stat buffs to get you going earlier. Alternatively it could help with survivability as you're buffing up. I suspect that you'd want to invest EVs in Sp Def, since nearly all its biggest threats would hit it on the special side.Rayquaza @ Weakness Policy

Without Super effective moves its going to be impossible to 1hko Mega Rayquaza, Mega Salamence can't kill Rayquaza without a Dracometeor or a Outrage. While you set up Dragon Dance's, your opponent will be unable to tell if you are running Life Orb or Weakness Policy and in most cases will trigger your weakness policy. Dragon Dance is important for fast ghost types like Mega Gengar and Darkrai is still a thing. Earthquake is a strong coverage, but with weakness policy Fireblast can be run just as easily. Extreme speed because its extreme speed and priority is always good.
If you manage to set up stealth rocks and safely switch in Rayquaza, your opponent might as well just say GG.
Is this confirmed? Because if so Latios and Latias become amazing offensive checks to Primal Groudon, resisting Fire Punch/Overheat/Lava Plume and being immune to Earthquake/Precipice Blades, and obviously check Kyogre as well.The lati's got their soul dew back, so I guess the mega lati's will see no use anymore now.
yeah serebii confirmed that after you catch the eon ticket latias/latios a soul dew will appear on the groundIs this confirmed?

Soul Dew brings so much more Special Power and Bulk that trust me, You will not be using Mega Lati@S ever again.So i can see this negating Mega Latios but i doubt it will Mega Latias much just cause of the lesser knock off and increased physical bulk.
Then again ive never used either with the soul dew so i really couldnt say.
Yah i also sorta realized i posted in wrong tiers mindset. Just shows how Primal Don will be forced with Dragon Coverage. Gonna be silly fun and annoying though but ah well thank ya course.Soul Dew brings so much more Special Power and Bulk that trust me, You will not be using Mega Lati@S ever again.
Not that you would anyway with things Like Mega Gar existing.
And....well Ya know, Mega Borkedquaza
soul dew is confirmed so i guess that problem is fixed then ^^The biggest problem with with the mega Latis is they prevent you from using, and that isn't even all of their problems.
