What's the difference between a wallbreaker and a stallbreaker
A wallbreaker uses its immense power to destroy stuff - an example is Mega Heracross. A stallbreaker is a Pokemon meant to annoy stally mons, aka prevent them from using support moves - an example is Gliscor.What's the difference between a wallbreaker and a stallbreaker
Regular SD Talon can set-up nicely on stallbreaker Mew. It's worth losing the Sharp Beck to get to +2 (or +3) in most cases.Is SD Acrobatics talonflame a legit set? I've been trying it, and I honestly can't tell if it's inferior to the standard sd brave bird + sharp beak set. I like it's longevity, but at times i really miss the power. I just like it's ability to set up all over stallbreaker mew.
CeleTran can work and still covers most of the metagame pretty well but has problems with a few things namely Greninja, Lando-T, MHera, MMedi, MPinsir, Mamoswine as well as Bisharp and Garchomp to a lesser extent, so make sure you cover these well. It's not nearly as effective as it was last gen but it's usable.Is a Celebi-Heatran core still viable? If so, which is physically defensive and which is specially defensive? I'm not going to use VenuTran because I'm using another Mega in the current team.
I'd definitely go with physically defensive Celebi as Celebi is bulky enough to take U-Turns from Scarfed Landorus-T if it uses Recover on the predicted move, and can Baton Pass out of pokemon like Scizor, while physically defensive Heatran can't put its resistances to good use, as most physical attackers will have a super effective move to target it with.Is a Celebi-Heatran core still viable?

Yeah, I'll think about if I want more offensive or defensive look for them. I've also got four other slots to check the threats that blow that core.

btw defentely run Phys Def Celebi and SpD Heatran if you decide to run both, either that or run two offensive sets like Scarftran+LO Celebi (this might actually be a better idea since you don't have to worry about Greninja or the mega wallbreakers nearly as much)
Smogon has no item clause in any tier so feel free to use the same item multiple times on different Pokemon.As an aside, does Smogon OU not have an item clause? If it does, I'll have to switch that Leftovers for something else - Shell Bell, maybe?
Bug Bite is a Tutor Move. So you're gonna have to go with X-Scissor. Apart from that, it's pretty good (I used a CB Scizor without any Tutor Moves, I went for U-Turn over SD for obvoius reasons ^^)Scizor @ Leftovers

Just thought I'd add - speed affects the order of lots of things. The faster pokemon will attack (except when out-prioritized or under trick room), switch out, get leftovers recovery, and take sandstorm/hail damage before the slower pokemon does each of those things (like, faster mon takes sandstorm damage, slower mon takes sandstorm damage, faster mon gets lefties recovery, slower mon gets lefties recovery). It's a great way to tell who's faster without having to actually risk attacking. Although, it could always be a speed tie.Hey slayer thanks for the answer ; makes perfect sense. I'm just curious though, where did you find that answer ?
That might work tbh.What could that replace? I know in the "true" OU build, Superpower was included for coverage, but Knock Off seemed primarily in to screw with item-based strategies. Maybe I could put AA on in place of Pursuit, then?
This is kind of hard to answer without knowing the rest of your team. If you post that then I can help you find a good late game sweeper based off of your teamHi,
I'm currently playing a hazards stacking team and I'm looking for a good double dancer (i.e. Nasty Plot/Swords Dance + Agility/Dragon Dance). Right now I'm using Thundurus-Therian, and he does the job pretty well, but I'm wondering who else might be able to answer my call.
Rock Polish/SD Landorus-T, Terrakion are some options to consider as well as Tailwind/SD CharX. It varies depending on your team though as RotomPoison pointed out.Hi,

Lando-T can do that job extremely well, with Rock Polish and SD. Once at +2 atk, he can 2HkO roughly 90% of the relevant threats in the meta with stone edge and eq, and at + 2 speed he outspeeds every ou mon with adamant.Hi,

It's a set carries Fire Blast to help lure in and take down Skarmory and Ferrothorn. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong on this spread, but I think it's something like 4 atk / 252 spa / 252 spe with a naughty or naive nature and Earthquake, Stone Edge, Fire Blast, and Draco Meteor. No idea what it's item would be.Hi can anybody tell me what garchomps chainchomp set is as I'm hearing a lot of people talking about it
