Yes, I'm using that Clawitzer set...it's quite nice...
I'm running a similiar set, except I'm running Flamethrower in place of Dragon Pulse...Flamethrower being primarily to deal with all of the Aegislash...Alright guys can some of ya'll give me your thoughts on these sets?

Pixelate is good if you run a normal type move. Otherwise you may as well take advantage of the possible hax that cute charm can cause. Also, protect>psyshock possibly?
Who thought it was a good idea to drop Blaziken to ou?
Sticky Web=new entry hazard?
EQ doesn't get affected by King's Shield so it's a really good coverage move right now for physical attackers. I've been running EQ coverage on my Forretress as well since to make it pretty much a full stop to Aegislash.
That's weird. I taught my Garchomp EQ and used it and King's shield had stopped it and the effect worked.
Cool. Aegislash is becoming like the new Ferrothorn for me, I dislike it with a passion. I wanna try using it, but...nah the attack drop doesn't go into effect.
beat qseasons btw! Laddering is so stressful -_-

Itd be interesting to see how they tier the Megas because we already know... SOME ARE BROKE AF! Assuming they ban certain mons from being able to mega I will say this...
Pre-Tiering predictions:
Blaziken will be banned again. I dont know if they will just ban Speed boost off of regular Blaziken because Blaze Blaziken isnt bad although this may not happen and Mega-Blaziken will be banned no doubt. I shouldnt have to explain why.
Mega Gengar... Lets be honest.
Talonflame will hit no lower than UU even with the SR weakness. It may be OU simply because SR is scarce right now with limited Pokemon getting it until Box and Transporter come out. Even then I see Gale Wings giving it some high usage.
Aegislash is possibly the best Steel out right now. Spinblocking as well as hitting hard with Stab and Sacred Sword along with King's Shield halts most physical Mons in their tracks.
I see Venusaur going back down as well as maybe Politoed and Ninetales simply because of the weather nerf. They latter dont merit much when out there but the former can still function decently as a bulky grass. If youve watched my Red themed team battles youd know this but it could still be a bulky tank.
ASSUMING they allow certain Megas in certain tiers Id like to believe that Mega Charixard X and Y would be at least UU depending on the power and defensive capabilities in the lower tiers. They are powerful and in X's case Fire/Dragon is only resisted by Heatran that I know of and it has decent defenses. Would take lower tiers by storm!
Clawitzer will be OU. Im calling it. 120 base Sp Atk and Shell Smash along with Mega Launcher to boost Aura Sphere, Dragon Pulse and Water Pulse? Wake me up from this dream.
As far as the Starters from Kalos are concerned Id like to believe that: Delphox may... Be UU. I dont see it going any higher than that. I think Greninja would be OU with Spikes and its speed. The offensive typing is great in OU and Chesnaught maybe UU or RU. Depends on how the meta shapes up in the long run for them to find a spot.
I think Electric Pokemon and Grass Pokemon will see mad usage to avoid status.
Sylveon will be OU. Clefable will be UU I just see it going up now being Fairy with a decent Special move to bank off of and resistance to Fighting and immune to Dragons? May hit OU for a bit. Gardevoir will go up. Azumarill will be OU. Klefki will be hinging on UU and OU because its an amazing Spike setter.
Thats all for now. I got practice and if youre using Noivern and wanna use a Flying move you should more often than not run Hurricane if you dont plan on using Spikes. The power drop is to significant. Id say Hurricane, Pulse and Flamethrower with Roost. DPulse can be that fall back Stab when you dont wanna miss and Hurricane could ravage Fairies unlike Air Slash where it may 3hko at best. Im theorizing though but thats how I see it. Most Fairies have good Sp. Atk so the power increase in moves is probably needed.
alright, What does sticky web do?
And has anyone else noticed that moves with 100% accuracy are missing on occasion?

(edit2)
And here's the replay of me missing Sableye both with Brave Bird and Night Slash
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/pokebankoubeta-58257347
To my knowledge Sableye doesn't have anything that gives it evasion...
So Ice Beam is stronger than Blizzard now and stuff?Other developments: Fire blast will inflict more damage than flamethrower, every other 110 power move with a 90 power counterpart will inflict less damage than the 90 power counterpart.
