To be honest I like to run enough speed to outrun base 60s as I find it becomes too difficult not being able to out speed the mons that reside in that speed tier, or slightly lower at 50's. It helps to net a lot more surprise kills as often they may stay in thinking they'll move first only to eat a Draco Meteor to the face.
The only mons i can think of between the 50-60 range that area threat are swampy (speed jumps to 70 when mega evolve) and Machamp (commonly carries AssVest). Is there something else Im missing? I think the mixed set with Gunk Shot and LO with enough speed to outpace 0speed champ would be good. I think even an uninvested LO Gunk shot cleanly 2hko.
Very good thanks! What do you think is a good nature for mixed drag if running speed? or is a modest specs set most viable?
I don't know if it is the most viable but like Venduria I have found most success with it. Though I have tried Assault Vest with Gunk Shot and D-Tail, luring Fairy types to their death and D-tail to screw over would be set up sweepers thinking you're set up fodder, and it has worked well think Goodra with AV but hits much harder and better typing course (though I used a Quiet nature). That said I've seen more success with SPECs because those speed creeps helped out in giving Dragalge more switch in opportunities, e.g. Donphan and Swampert, and I think its simplicity works in its favor. Plus a lot less things are capable of tanking the hit.
Very good, ill try specs with the speed creep of choice.
Most of them creeps adamant honchkrow like 80% of the tier does, max hp and rest in def or spdef. I'll link you to koko's post for more details.
Thanks!
10 BP because of adaptability so its 190 vs. 180 and 10% chance of poison vs. 20% chance.
It's actually 30% poison chance on bomb and you never include stab in bp calculations because bp means base power keyword base.

Wait, did you just say Ludicolo is a hard counter to Dragalge? .-. I hope you just miswrote and meant Bronzong. Either way, Shadow Ball is still more useful than Scald even in Rain, since it still hits harder even with Rain up (against Bronzong anyway). Hell, if you're really hell bent on using water coverage, use Hydro Pump to at least hammer the switch in. If you're using a rain team, chances are you either have Scald on some other Pokemon anyway, or you're trying to win with a Swift Swim sweep.
Not too familiar with the OU ladder right now, but I would like to think that the skill in the UU ladder is on par if not higher depending how high you are on the ladder. There are a lot more OU players than UU players so it's easier for you to ladder up and you get to play higher level matches quicker. And honestly it's the ladder, you're bound to go from playing a really well respected and known player to playing digbick123 with av blissey. Just speaking from my experience, maybe an OU player can say something too
I doubt it. The only reason they did that this time is that the release of ORAS completely screwed over all the lower tiers, so they figured why the hell not? Usually they only release one suspect from BL at a time, to make sure that they don't create a "broken checks broken" scenario.
