Uh, unsure if you have it in Speed (Spe) or Special Defense (SpD), I assume you ment Speed. You are better off running Life Orb over Choice Specs as the ability to change up moves is generally more effective than a slight power increase. I think having Encore over Psychic would also be better, or I have seen Hurricane to hit Grass-types. I'm assuming you put it on to hit Amoongus which just barely misses a 2HKO, so you are better off either running Hurricane or U-turning out. Otherwise the set looks fine.Is it viable to run a specs Whismicott? I am sort of tired of the typical prankster sets.
Somewhere along the lines of:
Whismicott @ Choice Specs
Ability: Infiltrator
EVs: 252 SpA, 252 Spd, 4 SpD
Moves:
Psychic
Moonblast
Giga Drain
U-Turn
Or, if this does work, would I need to switch the 4 SpD evs to Atk?
You should try to avoid double posts if you can help it.Should I invest in Special Defense for Alomomola? Is it even worth it?
The thing with running life orb over specs is that you wear yourself down whenever you click u-turn, so it makes it harder for whimsicott to check what it needs to check. I'd personally replace psychic with switcheroo and just admit to yourself that you're going to be u-turning a lot while they have an amoongus.Uh, unsure if you have it in Speed (Spe) or Special Defense (SpD), I assume you ment Speed.

252 SpA Life Orb Whimsicott Psychic vs. 252 HP / 96 SpD Amoonguss: 192-229 (44.4 - 53%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Black Sludge recovery
Edit: oh and if you go Encore make sure to change the ability to prankster
Yes, totally! With Special Defense investment, Alomomola can better check prominent threats such as Moltres, Mega Pidgeot, and many others, while still countering strong physical attackers such as Mega Glalie. A spread of 120 HP / 136 Def / 252 SpD is usually sufficient. In addition, you can run Mirror Coat, which fires back special attacks, such as Moltres' Fire Blast, Mega Glalie's Freeze Dry, and Mega Pidgeot's Hurricane, for twice the damage it takes, usually KOing them.Should I invest in Special Defense for Alomomola?

Giga Drain regains enough HP for Whimsicott to consistently do its job, if you're really worried about losing health then you can try running Leftovers. The main draw for me while using Whimsicott is its priority Encore, also being locked into a move really sucks for a mon thats as weak as Whimsicott is which is why Life Orb is the recommended item.The thing with running life orb over specs is that you wear yourself down whenever you click u-turn, so it makes it harder for whimsicott to check what it needs to check.

specially defensive alomomola is: 120 HP / 136 Def / 252 SpD Calm Delta TeaYou should try to avoid double posts if you can help it.
But if you are asking if you should run specially defensive Alomomola then yes either running max specially defensive or a mixed spread of evs: 104 HP / 248 Def / 156 SpD | nature: Bold / Impish is quite good.
Beginning of February. and it's probably more likely, yesIs it true that mega pidgey is probably leaving the tier regardless of ban vote because usage? When is the next tier shift?
Just play one last match to be safe, shouldn't be that hard to get at least one more win. You don't wanna get rejected to vote over something that small, idk for sure but better safe than sorry.My COIL is precisely 2399.5, but it still shows up as 2400 when I do /rank. Will this suffice, or do I need to play one last match?
Apologies if this is a dumb question, but can someone explain the "Druddigon is broken in RU" joke to me?
Well competitively, Druddigon was probably the absolute best Pokemon in BW2 RU and its still quite excellent today. However, its status as a top tier threat in BW2 RU along with a user named TROP started an inside joke that Druddigon was the most broken Pokemon in RU (and the entire game), and that it needs to be banned asap. So people joke about that quite often, even going so far as to make fake calcs of druddigon OHKOing xerneas with outrage etc. Nbd
Fully evolved Sticky Web setters in RU are Ariados, Kricketune, Leavanny, Masquerain (and they are all in PU). Considering that only Kricketune is in viability rankings, it's your best choice for a Sticky Web setter. Although, if you are going to create a team with Sticky Web, I would recommend waiting for the suspect test to end, as Serperior can get a free speed boost from Sticky Web which you don't want and Mega Pidgeot outright doesn't care about your webs.I am looking to create a balanced RU team which have Sticky web and Spikes or SR as support. Which Support pokes with Sticky web or Spikes and SR is easy to use?
Try looking at this thread for help: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/ru-viability-ranking-oras-edition.3523627/Hi, i'm trying to get into RU. Can someone tell me what are some of the "Big Shots" in that tier of pokemon?
