Just OT, but I lament the fact everyday that the cool original idea I once had (assist Eq and then thousand arrows to make a pseudo-gen5 prank nature power groudon again) has turned into a merciless spam fest that works purely because noone wants to prep themselves for one of those spam teams at the cost of those other players that actually would like to play the tier

Never fear, usage stats are here!Is there any UU version of BH or something like that?
Let's say only with pokemon under BST 600 i guess, i really don't know.
I tried to make a BH 600 that limited the max BST to 600 but didnt get approved cause BH meta seems to be wanted to stay unique or something like that.Is there any UU version of BH or something like that?

I never heard of flint but if you say soI know for a fact that E4 Flint was using Fridge Cube about two months after XY arrived, because that's when I started copying it.
And my favourite fourth move on a physical primary -ate user is Explosion, just saying.
Flint + Adrian = All of BH. Flint is the offense part, Adrian's the stall part.But Flint is BH
Some might even call it Yin and Yang!Flint + Adrian = All of BH. Flint is the offense part, Adrian's the stall part.
Would kumi be the balance part? o.oFlint + Adrian = All of BH. Flint is the offense part, Adrian's the stall part.
Interestingly the moveset stats also include item and ability stats. I thought I'd compare the most popular 30 BH (1500 and above) abilities against the AAA (1500 and above) stats. The AAA popularity is given in parentheses, except for Simple, Aerilate and Fur Coat which were not used above 1500 on the AAA ladder in December.So in case you all haven't heard, January brought the return of the long-awaited BH usage statistics.
Moveset stats (hmm, I wonder how many Primal Groudons had Assist?): http://www.smogon.com/stats/2014-12/moveset/
Thoughts?
untill one of the 5 tricks you, and then your poke is useless.I can't stand the complaints about Groudon Assist teams. Let's face it, Hyper Offense has never been as effective as other playstyles in higher levels of play. You're better off using a backbone to wall ridiculous opposers such as Assist Groudon!
Cresselia (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Fur Coat
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Impish Nature
- Thousand Waves
- Milk Drink
- Topsy-Turvy
- Taunt
This incredibly simple set traps and PP stalls imposters, easily PP stalls powerful attackers with Taunt, and inverts stat boosts to wall random setup sweepers. There's really not much to say about this set. You guys need to get creative and look at the big picture, as most teams need Fur Coat Pokemon anyway, it's almost essential right now.
I'm not saying it hard-counters it, i'm saying that walls such as the one above HELP IMPROVE your matchup against those teams.untill one of the 5 tricks you, and then your poke is useless.
i understand what you meant, but im just saying, the most popular one right now has 5 choice banded groudon and all it takes is for one to trick you, and then your "improvement helper" becomes a liability to your team. lol.I'm not saying it hard-counters it, i'm saying that walls such as the one above HELP IMPROVE your matchup against those teams.
Trick + flame orb is the thing that made assist teams annoying.i still prefer shedinja over the first two mainly since they usually run 1 mold breaker, and even then, if you have a slightly bulky poke of your own, you can consistantly switch between them. personally, i run sporeshed with prankspore gira, and then just nuke them with rayquaza or something once they are asleep. and on top of that they cant run stealth rock/any other method barring rocky helmet and mold breaker tarrows to deal with shedinja, which obviously isnt much of a problem when you dont even stay in/attack with shedinja anyways. plus sheddys sheddy, so it has niche outside of solely countering 1 or 2 threats.
edit: well, they can run chatter, but chatter just makes it a roulette for imposter, so i doubt anyone with a brain would want to do that.
lol ive never seen THAT before. but thats definatly an annoyanceTrick + flame orb is the thing that made assist teams annoying.
