Yeah that is what I thought, but not only are there people not running Max/Max, the default calc also has 136 HP EVs lol. Just wondering what these bulkier spreads are for and what does Hax benefit from the bulk (if it survives Mien's HJK it could be worthy? :o)

If diancie isn't used much in OU, when will it be dropping to UU? When other drops happen too?
lol i think espeon is just asking about using durant and dugtrio in general and not the 'shitty lolentrainmenttrap' gimmick which can be easily seen through by anyone with some degree of competency
(and then petrico just jumps the gun smh)
i suppose durant wont mind having faster pokes that can take it out be taken care of by dugtrio as durant really wants to setup on slower teams and wreck them with hustle-boosted attacks
Infernape switches often, so a defogger like crobat or flygon is pretty good. It hates status, so a cletic is nice
Mega amph has heal bell, and Can switch ape in safely, with a slow volt switch.

Just wondering, how well would a scarf Galvanatula/Houndoom (regular)/Pyroar do at burning/paralyzing Haxorus (w/ unnerve)? How well would they do in the other parts of the meta?
I don't have a computer. Just an IPad :(
And I seriously doubt my 3DS would load the Dex as well. Thanks for the set (again!)
Unerve Galvantula pretty much ruins it's niche of "Thunder the absolute fuck out of everything", Unerve Houndoom COULD work, wbut it'll lose Flash Fire (which is an awesome ability to have because FIRE) and as for Pyroar... Er...
Yah IDK bout Roar.

Banned deucer.
You're far too generous Scarf Houndoom with Wow is ridiculous for simply burning Haxorus and beyond the realsm of even versilify and blametruth especially considering Haxorus can still use the Lum Berry after Houndoom goes away.
PISTOLERO
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
What do you guys think of Fletchinder? I love it (more than Talonflame) and I used it back in UU Beta in December, but I couldn't find an analysis for it. I hope that it is viable or I just posted suggestions of it on 5 analyses wrongly :P even though it doesn't get Brave Bird, I tend to use Acrobatics / WoW / SD / Roost with no item, and enough speed to beat Honchkrow's Sucker Punch (I can't remember what it is exactly).
That's the exactly right set, and there should be an analysis on it if there isn't already. I'll find the link in a second. It's very good and anti-meta.

The team is based around scarfed Haxorus. Level 100 Evs
Haxorus-Shiny-"Darth Vader"-Mold Breaker-Scarf-EQ, Outrage, Poison Jab, Superpower-252 Att, 252 Spe, 4 Def-Jolly
Weezing-Shiny-"ThinkItsFunny?"-Levitate-Black Sludge-WoW-Dark Pulse, Sludge Bomb, Pain Split-248 Hp, 252 Def, 8 SpD-Bold
Empoleon-Non-"YUNoRoost?"-Defiant-Leftovers-Scald, Ice Beam, Defog, Flash Cannon-248 Hp, 252 SpD, 8 Def- Calm
Hippowdon-Non-"SandyBallz"-Sand Stream-Rocky Helmet-Slack Off, EQ, Stone Edge, Stealth Rock-248 Hp, 180 Def, 80 SpD-Impish
Chandelure-Shiny-"Inferno"-Flash Fire-Focus Sash-Flamethrower, Shadow Ball, HP Fighting, Energy Ball-252 Spe, 252 SpA, 4 SpD-Timid
This is where my problem is, i have mienshao currently for initiative, but i really need a bulky attacker (Fighting?) that resists dark (Knock Off) and possibly has initiative (U-Turn). Who should i choose?

Cobalion is your answer, but you have far bigger team problems than that. I'll give you some general advice, but these threads might be more helpful.

Some quick fix tips - Weezing isn't that great, but if you're bent on using it try flamethrower over dark pulse.
Empoleon shouldn't have three attacks - I'd replace it altogether for Mega-Blastoise in order to fill the role of hazard removal while maintaining some offensive presence. You'll retain your steel type if you add Cobalion.
Sash Chandelure isn't that good at all. Try Specs, Scarf, or LO CM / Sub.
For Cobalion, you could try a set with Swords Dance, Stone Edge / Close Combat / Iron Head or you could opt for a more utility version with Volt Switch, Taunt, Iron Head, and Close Combat. Best of luck!

Been on the search for them but cant find it anywhere. So what does the Pink Core consist of?
It consists of Slowbro and Aromatisse who have decent synergy to take physical hits and blissey to take pretty much any special attack
kitten ur forgetting about these two.
cm bro / mola + bliss + aroma , or cm bro + mew + bliss + gligar
both get demolished by the likes of sigilyph and reuniclus, and there are probably some other things that destroy it that i'm forgetting, but basically pink cores aren't nearly as good as they used to be.

Its not recommended unless you are a skilled player and have a team that can place enough pressure on the opponent so they don't have any free turns to set up hazards.
For example, instead of running a hazard remover, have something that puts pressure on a common setter. For the sake of simplicity, say they are using a swampert to set stealth rock. Try to get pressure it with something with a grass move to scare it out, effectively removing their chance to set up rocks.
It's perfectly viable to run a team that stacks hazards that doesn't have any hazard removal of its own if you run a good spinblocker like SABLEYE Blastoise. That way, the only way to remove your hazards is for your opponent to defog, getting rid of their own hazards for you. Meru used this tactic successfully.
