Thanks! And I could give you a Murkrow. Just give me 15 min. to breed it. Don't have Aerodactyl, tho.

 

EDIT: Could you trade me a Staryu? If not a Zubat will suffice, lol.

I just got an Aerodactyl from GTS don't worry I tried to get a Murkrow on there but they're asking for ridiculous trades Yup sure let me quickly breed my Starmie and I'll trade that I haven't got a Zubat unfortunately

You should have put it in a box

 

But you just carry it around in your team and eventually it will infect the other pokemon.

In other news...KANGASKHANITE HAS BEEN BANNED Details in the spoiler

After two weeks of community and council deliberation, taking into account a public thread, a poll, and a Policy Review topic, the OU Council has come to the conclusion that Kangaskhanite is overpowered and, as such, will be quickbanned from OU. Remember, a quickban is considered an extension of the initial banlist, meaning we are implying that Kangaskhanite deserved to be on the initial banlist and is considered that overwhelmingly strong.

As we all know, Kangaskhan received a huge buff in X/Y with its Mega Stone. Its attack got pumped to a respectable base 125, its defenses were also improved, and its speed reached the above-average 100 base tier. The most valuable improvement it received though, was its new ability: Parental Bond. It allows the Pokémon to attack twice, with the second attack being half as powerful as the first one. Basically, Parental Bond acts like a free Choice Band boost, but without locking the user into one single attack. Also, Mega-Kangaskhan's new ability works wonderfully with attacks such as Power Up Punch (allowing Mega Kangaskhan to usually get 2 Attack boosts) and Seismic-Toss (which always inflicts a damage of 200 Hit Points to the opponent). Not to mention the ability to hit the opponent through their Substitute. Couple the above mentioned points with a close to perfect physical movepool (with access to coverage moves such as Fire Punch, Crunch and Earthquake) and priority in the form of Sucker Punch, and you have a Pokémon that's nearly impossible to counter or even revenge kill.

Though we aren't directly using the 4th generation suspect characteristics anymore, they still provide a reliable framework to assess the situation. Let's take a look at the Offensive Characteristic:

Offensive Characteristic

A Pokémon is uber if, in common battle conditions, it is capable of sweeping through a significant portion of teams in the metagame with little effort.

Actual battle experience has quickly proved that Mega Kangaskhan easily fulfills the Offensive Characteristic. Mega Kangaskhan's unhealthy effects on the metagame can be summed up in 3 points:

 

1) The raw power of its attacks is too much for the OU tier

A few damage calculations show how Mega Kanga can 1-2HKO even premier physical walls like Hippowdown and Skarmory after a singe Power Up Punch (which, unlike Swords Dance, can't be taunted):

Add onto that that Mega Kanga is fast enough to outspeed every defensive Pokémon in the game so that it can land the decisive hit before they can even attempt at statusing it.

With a virtual base Attack of 213, factoring in Parental Bond, the only Pokémon that can afford to switch into this monster with relative ease are: Cofagrigus, Sableye and a very healthy Gourgeist. Everything else is immediately obliterated by Mega Kanga's attacks. Other gimmick strategies to stop it are Rocky Helmet/Rough Skin (or Iron Barbs) users like bulky Garchomp and Ferrothorn, that use Mega Kanga's ability to hit twice against it;

 

2) Mega-Kangaskhan is nearly impossible to revenge kill

Sucker Punch at +2 kills pretty much every wanna-be revenge killer. Pokémon like the Lati twins, the genies, Focus Sash Alakazam and even Genesect (with the X/Y Steel nerf) are all OHKO'd before they can even scratch Mega Kanga. Furthermore, Mega Kanga's 105/100/100 defences are nothing to laugh at, and even when uninvested, they give Mega Kanga excellent survivability. Basically, Mega Kangaskhan's offensive checks are restricted to strong and fast Fighting types such as Terrakion and Mega Lucario;

 

3) Mega-Kangaskhan limits team building

Like the 5th Generation Excadrill, Mega-Kanga severely limits team bulding, forcing the player to run dedicated, obscure Pokémon (with the exception of Sableye) to avoid getting swept by it. And, in the case of Rocky Helmet/Rough Skin users, the player is usually just trading their check in order to have Mega-Kangaskhan kill itself through passive damage.

 

The above points don't address a less common but not less threatening set Mega-Kangaskhan is capable of running:

Kangaskhan (F) @ Kangaskhanite

Ability: Early Bird

Impish/Careful Nature

- Seismic Toss

- Wish

- Protect

- Crunch

 

With this set, Mega Kanga can stay around for a longer time, while simultaneously supporting its team mates with Wish passing and 2HKO'ing everything with less than 401 HP.

In conclusion, with a combination of raw power, bulk, above average Speed, ability to hit through Substitute and Focus Sash, and excellent movepool, the OU Council considers Mega Kangaskhan's presence in OU unhealthy for the development of the metagame, and for this reason, Mega-Kangaskhan will been banned to Ubers with immediate effects.

 

My Jolly Breloom wasn't able to 1HKO a Mega Kangaskhan with a Force Palm, I'm pretty sure it would have if it was Adamant though I've never been swept by one, but what does everyone else think about this?

Im glad hes banned to be honest. The parental bond damage addition pretty much gave him STAB on every attack, not to mention Power-up punch activates its ability twice in one turn.

 

If your Mega Kang has this moveset:

 

Sucker Punch (Double priority attack ugggggg)

Fake Out (Double priority attack + cancels your attack ugggggg)

Return (STAB + max friendliness + attacks twice, ugggggggggggg)

Power-Up Punch (See above, activates twice, uggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg)

 

Its an easy sweep. Glad hes banned along with the Substitute Mega Gengar,
