I agree that Celebi has gotten much better recently but it isn't simply because its a very good check to Breloom and Azumarill; it's because it puts a tremendous amount of pressure on the meta's typical stall and balance teams. Celebi Groundium Z Ability: Natural Cure EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe...

SR secures the 2hko anyway though, and Kokoloko is right about the how important the extra speed is.

So basically, its a even 50/50 for both players as long as Aegislash is paired up against an unscouted physical attacker with an extremely powerful SE STAB and boosting moves. I'm not a prolific OU player, so by all means take what I say with a grain of salt but it seems kinda lame needing all...

If you're looking for a coverage move on Volc to hit fires then HP Ground is much better than Hurricane. Blissey has been utterly unproblematic in my experience. It casts a slightly wider net on the special attackers is can wall than Umbreon/Florges do and can free up an extra moveslot thanks...

Choice Scarf Infernape seems like its going to be really good in UU. It has a bitchin speed tier and outpaces virtually all of the current common scarf users, good dual STAB and U-turn, plus its a great check/revenge killer for two of the more dangerous drop downs Volcarona and Alakazam.

I think M-Houndoom or Victini would be better wallbreaking partners for Honchkrow. Defensive Mew cannot touch either of them, and both are good at luring out and crippling the bulky waters that often succeed as last ditch checks to Moxiekrow. They also destroy M-Aggron, who is a solid counter...

Probably not anything new, but it seems like Magnezone and mixed Hydregion would make for a pretty terrifying wallbreaking core. Sans the fighting weakness they have excellent type synergy, and can form a volt-turn duo if you want. Maybe couple it with Offensive Spikes Roserade to really make...

Is Destiny Bond still the standard 4th move on the NP set ? I ran Sucker Punch for quite some time before switching to DB and honestly, I think it was more useful.

I used the five you gave as examples of counters earlier in this thread. Of them, one isn't an actual counter (M-Aggron, I don't even think he's a check), two have to run Ice Beam and even then don't really threaten Zygarde or stop him from phazing shit around (Suicine & Slowbro). It does if...

Here's the thing; very few of Zygarde's limited number of checks can safely and immediately threaten him (I'll be referring to the Subcoil 252hp/2xxspd careful set in this post) aside from cloyster and can't really stop him from racking up a lot of residual damage from d-tail phazing+hazards...

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uu-103063612 Yea, I agree with the decision to temp ban Zygarde. Its ridiculously easy to set up and can run a mean offensive DD set that screws with a lot of Subcoils checks. I've seen people running Glaciate on Victini out of pure desperation because of this...

Have the bans been implemented on Showdown yet ?

What kind of ev spread are we talking about with a defensive Arcanine anyway.

Not to mention that SR is a vastly more useful entry hazard for your spinner to be able to setup than T-spikes.

SD Mew is a bitch. Most of things that outspeed Mew are murdered by Sucker Punch at +2 and/or can't get the KO. Mew breaks through a ton of slower mons with SD and Drain Punch. Choice Band Weavile and Scarf Heracross are the only faster checks I can think of that can reliably OHKO Mew and not...
