I'm a pretty big fan on using FWG cores for Super Single Streaks. My current team is sitting on 123 wins and hasn't had any significant problems yet. Charizard @ Charizardite X Jolly/ Blaze 252 Atk/ 4 Def/ 252 Spe -Dragon Dance -Flare Blitz -Outrage -Earthquake Azumarril @ Life Orb Adamant/...

A decent idea. But mad speed probably isn't the way to go. With 0 Speed EVs and a neutral nature, Scolipede hits 240 speed before a boost, and 360 after. I believe the magic number to outrun all base 130's (the fastest pokemon you're likely to see in OU), is 264, or 96 EVs. Basically, if you...

Probably Max HP, with heavy investment in Special Defence. Mega Scizor's main strength as a bulky SD user is setting up multiple SDs and roosting off damage. I'd need to run some calcs, but theres probably a specially defensive spread (probably still adamant), where you avoid some specific OHKOs...

I think Mawile's home is on a Bulky Offence or VoltTurn team with Wish Support. Wish really lets you put those fantastic resistances to work and its piss-poor base 50 HP works in your favour, since even with full investment, most Wishes give you a huge chunk of HP back. Not to mention, Wish...

It might be worth adding the new perks of types into the OP; Grass types are now immune to "Powder" and "Spore" moves Electric types are now unable to be paralyzed (including Body Slam and Glare) Ghost types are unable to be trapped by moves (and apparently in research, this includes...

Well, in that case, the advanatge would go to Azumaril, since it looks like Aqua Jet will KO after a Waterfall and SR. I noticed you use 248 HP, so i just calculated and yep, Stealth Rock number, even with the resist. I assume you'll drop 8 EVs into Speed then, since theres no real advantage to...

An Adamant nature is perfectly acceptable on a specially bulky set because due to Mawile's base attack and Pure Power, you get a considerable amount of stat points from that 10% boost with a + nature, than you would if you used a +SpD nature. In fact, unless you need special bulk which exceeds a...

Well, assuming that it is exclusive to Vivillon, then you're hard pressed to find a moveslot for it. Sleep Powder is Vivillon's main selling point and you can't really run a mon-attacking set with Quiver Dance. It also seems extremely situational, since Vivillon has a plethora of other...

Given that with Assault Vest, you lose the ability to use reliable recovery and Leftovers, has anyone considered its application with Drain Punch or Giga Drain users? When it’s available in December, I think Conkeldurr could run a pretty effective Assault Vest set. He has pretty impressive...

As expected, the introduction of Fairies has hurt the neutral coverage of Dark/Fighting. In BW, only a few things like Toxicroak and Heracross resisted the combo, but with the amount of play Azumarril and Togekiss may see, I'm starting to wonder if the dark coverage move will be dropped in...

I could see a support set investing in defences working and still packing a punch thanks to Pure Power. Mawile's support movepool includes Stealth Rock, weather moves (which may be viable with the auto-weather nerf), Taunt. However, I think the most interesting option for a defensive set it...

Actually, I heard somewhere that Misty Terrain does not apply to Fairy-Type moves. If it halves the power of dragon moves, I can definitely see it lacking a fairy boost as well. The one which interests me is Electric Terrain, particularly the bit about preventing grounded pokemon from falling...

It really depends on what threats your team needs to outspeed and how common each threat is. If Heliolisk ends up being OU, you run enough to be able to outspeed heliolisk. If its uncommon or your team can deal with it well, you can drop down to the tier above Thundurus-T or whatever pokemon you...

MMX can probably run a Quick Stall set slightly more effectively than the standard Mewtwo (WoW/Taunt/Recover/Psystrike), with slightly increased defences and the loss of its Bug/Dark weaknesses, with the only real flying users in Ubers being Ho-oh and Yveltal, both of which its already forced...

Noone is doubting how impressive Medicham's HJK is. Its a 130 BP STAB coming of an attack stat near 600. His problem is not going to be because HJK does not hit on its intended targets hard enough. Rather his issue is that his coverage moves are weak, being the elemental punches or Bullet Punch...
