How many points do you have on the ladder?

Yeah, sucks that this thread went off topic but I was trying to prove point to that other guy that setup sweepers can't really be "spammed" or relied on, especially when it comes to countering weather. Any weather team worth its salt has 2 solid setup sweeper checks while the the other 3 Pokemon...

Alright they may not use scarf but how many of them use swords dance? Not many, I'm sure. I've seen plenty of Landorus and I've never see one use swords dance. The RP set is not more threatening. If someone uses flamethrower/fire blast/flare blitz or even a strong enough neutral attack when...

Okay so maybe it won't hurt to use 2, but that's the maximum any team should use or else it becomes dependent on an outdated strategy. Landous isn't really a set up sweeper. It doesn't have to as almost all of them are scarfed. Scarf Genesect out classes rock polish Genesect. BW brought so...

Life Orb? Where the fuck did that come from? Who uses Deo-D as an attacker?

Yeah. Honestly pretty much any other lead is pointless. They can all be countered easily thanks to team preview. Deo-D is stupidly bulky and can be unpredictable. even with team preview you can't really get around it. The thing is just amazing. It can get a layer of hazards up 99% of the time...

Spamming setup sweepers does not work well in this metagame. There's a reason why pretty much nobody runs dual screens hyper offense anymore like they did in very early BW. With the amount of threats that get instant speed boosts from weather, run choice scarf, and and run will o wisp, relying...

For the most part, no. If you run non weather HAVE to either run multiple pokemon that can counter weather or multiple Pokemon that can abuse weather like veneusaur, stoutland, or kingdra.
