Although it can't get Taunts off faster, it is usually not as good as its Defensive counterpart.

Refering to the Deoxys Article: Do you mean "Although it can get Taunts off faster, it is usually not as good as its Defensive counterpart."? Maybe i read that wrong :u

I just wanted to say that I learned something really cool from this issue, even though I've only read a small portion so far. When I first read the part about if Zygarde had Mold Breaker, I thought it was an error to say that it would be able to KO Dragonite, as I thought the Ability only affected whether a move could be used in spite of the opponent's Ability and had no effect on damage output. This prompted a short trip to the AbilityDex, which showed I was off.

Considering I'm not yet very knowledgeable about competitive Pokémon, I figured you would be glad to know that even the little things are sometimes generating interest in finding out more about how things work! Thanks for all of the work you put into this!

Glad to see that theorymon is still going to be a part of this, keeping things fresh this time with abilities rather than possible moves again. Bulletproof is an interesting one for Metagross. It's not the usual Iron Fist, Tough Claws and Analytic that people usually suggest, and it tries to help Metagross out from a totally different angle. Archeops would also definitely love Aerilate instead of Defeatist, but to be fair, any physical Flying type would love Aerilate as an option (Thrash Salamence, Extreme Speed Dragonite/Rayquaza, etc).

The Risk vs. Reward analysis was a good one too, it's definitely something people need to learn about instead of assuming everything is about being "good" at prediction. It might sound a bit complicated for people just getting into competitive, but it's still important to understand things are more than just simple guesswork.

Not sure I have any other suggestions or comments, I like it.

I think there should be an article on the current suspects and the upcoming suspects maybe ( M-Mawile and Thundy) , the current suspects have caused alot of chatter as of late with the community being torn on what to do with Aegislash. Maybe have well known good players state what they think should happen to Aegislash. All include a pros and cons with it like how would keeping it affect the metagame as well as what will happen if it was banned.

The July Issue was really good, maybe an article on underrated pokemon and cores in OU or underrated sets from the top tier threats that can prove to be very effective. Also I think an article about Gimmicks should be included and how to differentiate what is a gimmick and what isn't.

We will be doing an underrated threat article in the near future, as for gimmacks, that may earn a spot next month comparing innovative sets to gimmacks

Due to issue within the lives of most of the writers, the issue will be postponed till next month. As such the issue will likely be twice as large to compensate.
