Unnecessary.
There are multiple confirmation prompts when trading your parents to the old daycare man.
So you only trade them if you are 100% you want to.
HP Grass also does a lot of damage to Quagsire/Omastar/Kabutops cause of 4x weakness.
I like Modest/Calm Lanturn most.
Invest in HP, SpA, SpD and/or Spe.
Moveset: Surf, Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, Heal Bell. Could replace one move with HP Grass if you require the grass coverage.
I'll be closing this thread for two reasons.
1. It's extremely pre-emptive.
2. The thread is more a personal battle than a discussion based on facts and calculations.
When, after a while, you still feel Reversal is too strong (and this shows in usage stats or official tournament results), feel free to pm me to re-open this thread.
1. Big pearl has no use other than selling to a vendor/store. Maybe the person is collecting them.
2. Probably a slightly larger demand than supply for Dragon Scales at the moment.
3. Battle Points can only be earned in Trainer Tower and Tournament Prizes, they can not be bought. But you could pay someone to spend his earned Battle Points on your pokemon.

Right, I'm seeing discussion about Dragonite and Metagross on here.
I will be locking this thread now as all the discussion regarding Tyranitar has been done and a decision has been made.
Maybe in the future this decision will change.
Tyranitar is banned from OU to Ubers is the final conclusion.
Thank you for the discussion
I'm going to lock this thread because it's topic is too vague, can be discussed in other threads and got derailed in less than a page.
If you do not agree with the lock, JJ can pm me.
The only physical poison move currently implemented are Poison Sting (crap) and Poison Fang (Nido can't learn) and Poison Tail (eggmove but still bad)
Nidoking has a huge movepool.
You can boltbeam with EQ as mixed set.
You can choice band EQ, Superpower, Megahorn, Thunderpunch.
Endless possibilities.
Currently Item stealing/swapping moves fail if the level difference between the two pokemon is too large.
This was likely implemented to avoid high levels from obtaining items too easily.
But it shouldn't be working the other way around in my opinion. It seems quite unfair.
How it currently is:
(PvE) THIEF/COVET will now have a chance to break the item if the caster of THIEF/COVET and wild encounters' level difference is too high:
<=5: 100% chance to successfully grab item
6: 85% chance to successfully grab item
7: 60% chance to successfully grab item
8: 45% chance to successfully grab item
9: 30% chance to successfully grab item
>=10: 20% chance to successfully grab item
How it should be:
Please remove the level difference failure rate when your own pokemon is lower level than the wild pokemon.
