You could use Xerneus in battle spot before the global link went up not sure right now though.

But yeah mainly in ubers. Me and a friend have been trying to work out a counter to Xerneus all day

I bought a 2ds and Pokemon Y all at once. I don't regret it one bit, I'm totally hooked! Should have probably waited until after midterms though :/

Aww how come? The price was great and since Pokemon is all I'll ever use that thing for it was totally worth it for me. It's durable and fits like an xbox controller in my hand. Can't complain.

Choice band bullet punch does more damage but not enough to kill mine with around 80 defence EVs. But it seems like the best option for now.

Also 2DS was an amazing idea. Just because it wasn't for your demographic you shouldn't knock it

Are mega pokemon banned in battles? or are some of them considered uber or what?

Honestly Mega Alakazam with 170 spatk and 150spd is pretty fucking obnoxious.
Pinsir might finally be usable too which is cool.

Most of them will go Ubers. I can see a few staying in OU though

as far as I understand, you can bring as many stones as you want with you into battle, but you only can mega evolve once, so the rest would be wasted items. so probably just best to find which mega you want to use and stick with it.

With bullet punch you get 2 shots off of Xerneas which most certainly will kill it. Is CB really better than mega? Adaptability is pretty strong.

And no ditto does not.

Depends on which legendary it is tbh. Something like Kyogre has to be modest, while Groudon or something should be Adamant

It should do the job of revenge killing and then doing a bit of damage though.

I'll double check the Mega Scisor later

Mega Alakazam is actually WORSE than normal Alakazam because it lacks magic guard. Magic Guard Alakazam can run focus sash which cannot be broken by entry hazards and is guaranteed to fire off at least 2 nukes (1 nuke if they have priority or a scarfer and you choose to bring Zam in on them for some reason) before dying. Mega Alakazam just gets 1 nuke off and then is instantly revenge-killed.
