Reminds me a lot of Persian from Gen 1 OU. They fulfill similar roles but using both together is an option to wear down each other's checks. The difference is that Pheremosa isn't anywhere near as oppressive as Gen 1 Tauros so I'm not sure that it is worth it to do so. An Offensive core of Tapu...

Just presenting the argument for banning it, not saying I agree. I said resists not counters. Tapu Lele's only counter is Celesteela. It can sweep without clearing psychic resists, but not as easily.

It has nothing that can safely switch in against it besides SpD invested Celesteela unless the Tapu Lele user doesn't predict the switch. It is kind of slow but with a Scarf it is fast enough to do what it needs to. If you have a Tapu Lele on your team it is very unlikely that the match will end...

Toxic is interesting but it is hard to fit in into a moveset when you really want to run STAB's and EQ on almost any set. Might be good but with no stall capability Golem is just using it for the chip damage and needs a teammate to capitalize on it. Also doesn't help it beat Gliscor. If this guy...

No moves that beat Ground types, however current metagame predictions have relatively few Ground types. Garchomp will almost certainly be a metagame presence and trashes Golem-A. If Golem-A is going to be viable it needs teammates to deal with Chomp and possibly Flygon with its newfound buffs...

Interestingly Golisopod has a check in Alolan Golem. Adamant 252 Stone Edge has 18% percent chance to OHKO without Defense investment on the Golisopod. Galvanize Double-Edge is a guaranteed OHKO. Golem has higher base speed, and the most Golisopod can do in return is a 3HKO from Aqua Jet if the...

King's Shield is useless with Choice Band, plus the set is supposed to cause mindgames with an unexpected moveset. I'll consider using mixed or special. I thought about using Cosmic Power-Stored Power on Sigilyph but didn't have a Xatu to breed it there back in Gen V. Now that I have the option...

I've been running a team on the ingame wifi with some decent results, but I feel like I have some weak links and I'm not sure what to use in their place. I haven't been following Pokemon Showdown, so there are only a few Pokemon I know are really good this gen, and a lot of them aren't ones I...

HP Electric never fazed me, but I was that one lunatic that had my Gyarados hold a Wacan Berry. While Gyarados is fairly bulky, by the time you get off a dance or two you're usually too low health for Life Orb to be worth it. Also, like I said Drifloon, I dont mind that there's three...

I think you guys misunderstand me. I don't think heatran is bad, just doesn't have as good of a defensive typing as people make it out to be. Plus the appeal of heatran is his ridiculous SpA and his ability to switch in easily. Let me put it this way... When D/P/Pt hit the metagame almost all...

Scizor almost always carries Superpower, which even if Heatran's defenses are at 252/252 and Scizor is max attack (a viable assumption since only two of its movesets run anything else) deals 73.1%-86.5%. Since no one runs defense evs on Heatran you usually won't see any higher than 252/0, which...

How the hell does Zapdos own Marowak? Rock Slide coming off of a Thick Club Marowak was ridiculously powerful. Also, who the hell puts belly drum on Marowak? He has Swords Dance.

Just a quick nitpick here, but I have trouble referring any pokemon with a 4x weakness to Earth and 2x weaknesses to Water and Fighting as having a good defensive typing. Most sweepers laugh in his face. Whenever my opponent brought one out in D/P/Pt it always meant a free DD boost for Gyarados...
