Surf hits every Pokemon.
Alright. What about if I have a storm drain pokemon (along with some other pokemon) and an opponent pokemon uses surf instead of my other pokemon? Will it hit both of my pokemon or just the one with the storm drain?
When Surf is used an a Storm Drain Pokemon is out, it will activate.
edit: oh, I misread your question. idk the answer.
Mega-tar isn't really suited for Trick Room, tbh. The extra bulk and speed it gets upon Mega Evolving make it an excellent Dragon Dancer, as it's pretty much impossible to revenge kill if it's healthy and it's extremely easy to get a DD up.
move 1: Dragon Dance
move 2: Stone Edge / Crunch
move 3: Ice Punch
move 4: Earthquake
ability: Sand Stream
item: Tyranitarite
nature: Jolly
evs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
If you want a Mega for Trick Room, I suggest Mawile as it's much slower and powerful than Tyranitar, especially after a Swords Dance.
move 1: Play Rough
move 2: Sucker Punch
move 3: Knock Off / Swords Dance
move 4: Swords Dance / Substitute
ability: Intimidate
item: Mawilite
evs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
IVs: 0 Spe
nature: Brave
in doubles, storm drain will cause any singletarget water moves to force-target the Storm Drain pokemon, including yours. Multi-target Water moves (are there any besides Surf?) will still hit everything, however, though the Storm Drain user will still be immune and still gain Special Attack. (You could presumably send out two Storm Drain users to power-pump each other in doubles...)
None of these mons particularly hate sandstorm, and as you said chomp would actually like it. So There's no reason not to run Sand stream hippo.
muddy water is sometimes seen because it only affects the opponents and not your ally
Will the wifi finder going to go back up at any point? Sorry if this has been asked a lot
Since I left the scene quite some time, can anyone tell me why is Excadrill back to OU?
Weather isn't permanent anymore, so Sand Rush variants are lot more manageable. Most Excadrill run Mold Breaker nowadays.
Why was the warstories sub-forum closed?
I noticed when I was playing an OU battle on Pokémon Showdown today, the standard clauses were mentioned at the top: Sleep Clause, OHKO Clause, Moody Clause, etc.
However, when it came to Evasion Clause, only the Evasion Moves Clause was mentioned and Evasion Abilities Clause was not. Are Sand Veil/Snow Cloak legal in OU again? Or was Pokémon Showdown just not displaying it for some reason?

As of now Sand Veil/Snow Cloak are usable in OU.
Using a 92 Ambipom with Pickup for spare items. When Pickup is activated after battle, does it have to be a wild battle, a trainer battle, or it can be both?
Is it possible to get Assist to copy a specific move?

Assist will never copy any of the attached moves. So, if the only moves on your team are V-Create, Assist, and anything on the list, V-Create will always be chosen.

Now that's what I call a daredevil strategy! ^v^
My question: What is the ideal HP EV number for a Poison Heal Gliscor auto-leveled to 50, assuming I want it to be as physically bulky as possible? This is a Protect + Substitute Set, Impish nature.
244 HP EVs.
Alright, on the server I play on, the people seem to really like three Pokemon in particular; Mandibuzz, Aegislash and Las Gordas - that is, Chansey and Blissey, who are similar enough to not really require distinction. Oh, how I detest those fat pieces of crap. They use Megacham a lot, too, but I run Talonflame and thus they are rarely an issue.
Basically, I'm looking for something that can handily defeat all three if that exists; I have Megatar on my team, which can do so potentially, but it's hard to set up on Aegislash due to its Sacred Sword, and the blobs that have TWave aren't exactly smart to do so on either. Is there anything that you could suggest to handle them more aptly?
