Inheritance [Prime Council Elected]

This has been my most effective set thus far:

Chansey (F) @ Eviolite
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpD
Bold Nature
- Will-O-Wisp
- Taunt
- Metal Burst
- Recover

Chansey inherits from Sableye a variety of useful moves. Will-o-Wisp and Taunt allow it to break opposing stall and check physical attackers that usually handle it easily. Sableye gets Metal Burst as an egg move by way of Bisharp, and Chansey can make great use of it thanks to its immense HP. Finally, priority Recover is excellent in general.

(Chansey can also inherit Magic Bounce from Sableye, though that's not as good.)

Also, Furfrou Chansey seems like it might be really difficult to stop, with moveset options like Thunder Wave, Roar, Wish + Protect, and U-turn.

Also, Furfrou Chansey seems like it might be really difficult to stop, with moveset options like Thunder Wave, Roar, Wish + Protect, and U-turn.
I don't think Furfrou gets Wish (at least Showdown is telling me it doesn't get Wish), and from what I understand you don't actually get your own movepool if you choose to inherit, so I do think it's manageable, especially considering Wish Passing to Chansey doesn't give Chansey much health back due to its titanic HP stat. If you did run it you'd probably have to run ResTalk, which could work but eh.

Oops, my bad, idk where I got the impression that it learned Wish. time to fix my fur coat mandibuzz
 
Parental Bond is broken. Please ban it. I lost two matches to it despite having a stall-ish team. Two hits coming from 130+ SAtk/Atk mons is just too overwhelming.

Coming back, Metagross-Mega and Carracosta. Metagross gets both Zen Headbutt and Iron Head to abuse alongside Tough Claws. But that's not it, it also gets.. waitforit.. Shell Smash! Wait, that's not it too. It also gets Solid Rock to use its bulk to set up.

Metagross @ Metagrossite
Ability: Solid Rock
EVs: 252+ Atk / Speed EVs to outrun specific threat after +2 / Rest in HP
Adamant Nature
- Shell Smash
- Zen Headbutt
- Iron Head
- Earthquake/Aqua Jet

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/customgame-209280011
 
Another Gem from my current team:

Heatran @ Leftovers
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef
+SDef -SAtk Nature
- Will-O-Wisp
- Recover
- Taunt
- Knock Off

If you thought Prankster Sableye was a menace, try this out. And I intend to use this:

Heracross @ Heracronite
Ability: who cares
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Shell Smash
- Pin Missile
- Rock Blast
- Ice Shard

Breaks the entire Meta after one boost and Mega Evolution (Except maybe pure Steels. As of now, only Skarmory is around). Ice Shard might seem useless, but can actually help out vs Gale Wings mons. Plus Landorud-T is taking over as the preferred Gale Wings user. So it's highly considerable.

Finally, please ban the two Primal Weathers. They're unstoppable except with redundant Abilities. Even a resisting pivot is 3HKOed at best, which is highly unacceptable.
 
Kyurem-Black @ White Herb/Life Orb/Icicle Plate
Ability: Skill Link
EVs: 252 Atk / min-maxed Speed and bulk
Adamant Nature
- Shell Smash
- Icicle Spear
- Razor Shell/Rock Blast
- Ice Shard/Rock Blast

+2 252+ Atk Life Orb Teravolt Kyurem-B Icicle Spear (5 hits) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Mega Slowbro: 170-200 (43.1 - 50.7%) -- approx. 99.6% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock
 
idk if it's any good or outclassed but vivilion gets quiver dance + compound eye sleep powder / hurricane.
Can you think of anything good to make with it ?
 
Here is what I have used so far:


(Volbeat) Sylveon @ Leftovers
Ability: Prankster
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Bold Nature
- Dazzling Gleam
- Baton Pass
- Tail Glow
- Roost

With Sylveon inheriting from Volbeat it gets 3 really, REALLY, good things, one is Tail Glow and oh God is it sweet to be able to just jump to +3, by itself Sylveon isn't meant to be the sweeper but it can do a lot of work with one attack, the other great things it gets are Prankster and Roost and, let me tell you, while it doesn't seems like much since it doesn't matter much if you boost faster or slower because of Roost it can shrug damage even pretty easily and Baton Passing first can also save you if your HP is low.


(Kecleon) Infernape @ Life Orb
Ability: Protean
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Fire Blast
- Thunderbolt
- Drain Punch
- Knock Off



(Kecleon) Azelf @ Life Orb
Ability: Protean
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Fire Blast
- Drain Punch
- Knock Off

These two play exactly the same, I don't even try to hide that they are the same because it is so obvious. Azelf is much better because of its speed tier and offensive stats but Infernape is also cool, I though of switching Infernape for one of the Thundurus-I or Tornadus(T or I) but I don't like their SR weakness that much even with Defog support, specially seeing as these are meant to be Revenge Killers. T-bolt and Fire Blast from the special spectrum work well against most Physical walls and Drain Punch and Koff work like a charm from the Physical side. They may suffer a bit against special defensive fairies.



(Flygon) Heatran @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpA
Bold Nature
- Roost
- Defog
- Flamethrower
- Earth Power

Rejoice people, Levitate Heatran is here, thanks to Flygon, Heatran gains much more that what it wanted, reliable recovery, loses a 4x weakness and still has Earth Power and Fire-STAB added Defog into the mix and we have what may be one of the most threatning walls in a while. Strangely enough I end up passing Sylveons' Tail Glows into this because of his resistances so a similar offensive set can be used.



(Flareon) Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Iron Tail
- Wish
- Protect
- Will-O-Wisp

Rejoice again we have FF Ferrothorn, for most people this needs no introduction, it is seem in a multitude of metas because of its typing, defensive stats and semi-reliable recovery. In this meta, unfortunately, it cannot use Leech Seed shenanigans but it can Wish pass and recover that way, Iron Tail is there just for STAB and Will-O-Wisp is a pain in the ass for most things that would switch in, namely, physical attackers.


(Arcanine) Glalie @ Glalitite
Ability: Flash Fire
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Naughty Nature
- Close Combat
- Flare Blitz
- Extreme Speed
- Overheat

And here we have it, the last member, seeing as this team would be ripped apart from any angle by Gale Wings Landorus-T, I decided to had this little gem, Fridge Speed is nothing new to most people and Glalie can make use of it via Arcanine who also grants it Flash Fire (or Intimidate, you choose what you want), which isn't much but works as a way to lose a weakness and boost its new found Fire-Type moves, Overheat is there for Skarmory and physical walls, Flare Blitz for the same reason but uses the FF boost in the Physical spectrum and CC for coverage. You could use Return over one of these but I chose it like this.​

So I doubt the viability of these two mons, but they provide a great amount of pressure against offensive teams.

Both Magnezone and Heatran get 130 base SpA Doom Desires. This reminds me of one of my favorite BH sets (to this day I haven't actually laddered BH) Tinted Lens Doom Desire Dialga, and while these two don't have the same raw power or ability to boost that Dialga has, they still apply pressure to more offensive teams and force switches.



Edit to avoid double post:

idk if it's any good or outclassed but vivilion gets quiver dance + compound eye sleep powder / hurricane.
Can you think of anything good to make with it ?
I know that Compound Eyes and Sleep Powder seem really attractive, but Volcarona might be the better option if only because of coverage. Fire coverage may prove to be invaluable against the prominent Steel Type walls. Then again, I may be wrong, and Psychic + Giga Drain may be enough for most recipients.

Edit 2:

Snaquaza proposed to me Future Sight as an even more powerful alternative to Doom Desire. For some reason even though I knew Psychics on average have very high SpA stats, it didn't cross my mind as viable. Snaquaza then showed me the opportunities of Tinted Lens Future Sight (from Sigilyph) as opposed to Doom Desire. Virtually any bulky Psychic Type can utilize Sigilyph's movepool, and I know for a fact that I have seen our very own OM Champion (w0rd for those of you who do not know) use a similar set in Stabmons, using Slowking.

Tinted Lens Doom Desire/Future Sight works wonders in AAA. So it will work here as well.

I don't think it's viable without Tinted Lens though.

Specs + Tinted Lens Future Sight from something bulky, like Slowking is sure to hurt a lot, more so since it will be hitting its counters more often than not.

Even pendulums swing both ways
Two very good abusers of Future Sight are the latis, and defensive mons like uxie and cresselia actually really enjoy being able to do that damage while walling so many things. Since Future Sight ignores the dark immunity, cress or uxie can run just one attacking move and not worry about being setup bait. Celebi can run stab giga drain and future sight with tinted lens, which could be an utterly deadly combination. Seems like fun.

The levitran set posted above is really good, since it resists the -ates (and walls glalie in particular), revenges stuff like mega metagross, and is a good general switch-in to common revenge killers such as espeeders (not mega lop) and gale wings abusers.

PB actually isn't even broken imo, kekleon (lel) and a few others would need to go first and I don't think that should happen. TBH terrakion is meh, even with sub, because of all the revengers and fastmons around. Stallbreaker for sure, but not the most amazing thing ever.

I would love something more bulky than sylveon to pass Dark Mage Ewan because that lack of physical bulk makes it too easy to kill before it sets up. It fares well against stall, but vs offense its kind of hard to set up and pass. I want to try something else but I'm out of ideas, the only relevant one is cresselia which doesn't hit that hard (+3 dazzling gleams do a decent amount of damage but still).

oh boy azelf is a beast. It also can run sucker punch with the same power as bisharp, which is really saying something. It has pretty tremendous coverage, although drain punch is a necessity because of FF Ferrothorn.

Has anybody tried LO Staraptor passed from Rayquaza? The delta stream + espeed, dragon ascent, and v-create seems like it could be a really good mon.

Mega Altaria passed from flygon gets all it wants: -ate boomburst, earth power, roost, and the ability to boost speed (tailwind). Could be a nice BP recipient too with its good bulk and typing, although pixilate + fridge weakness doesn't help it too much.

Chansey @ Eviolite
Ability: Imposter
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
-Transform

classic
- Inheriting Wonder Guard, Pure Power, Huge Power, Shadow Tag, Imposter or anything from Smeargle is banned.

Sorry to crush your dream, but Imposter is banned from inheriting. You can use LImber Chansey with Transform though!

So Megas are pretty radical in this meta, especially shit like Pinsir and Glalie. An example is

Noivern / Exploud / Chatot (Gardevoir) @ Gardevoirite
Ability: Frisk / Soundproof / Keen Eye
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Boomburst
- Flamethrower / Fire Blast / Heat Wave
- Focus Blast / Psychic / Extrasensory / Chatter
- Taunt / Surf

Oh baby. I had a lot of options to choose from with Boomburst - I couldn't pick one! Noivern grants the combination of Taunt, Flamethrower, and Focus Blast while Exploud provides the most raw power with Fire Blast, Surf, and things like Thunderbolt. It's only psychic move is Extrasensory but honestly you probably don't need a Psychic STAB. Finally you can choose DICKS who gets what Noivern gets except replaces Focus Blast with Chatter for hax. You also need Heat Wave since it doesn't get Flamethrower.

Altaria and Glalie can pull off a similar set, as they have decent SpA and an -ate ability upon Mega. Oh, and Mega Mence, but he's busy being banned so.

You can actually inherit Transform from Mew instead and take advantage of its fantastic movepool (Roost, Defog, Will-o-Wisp, etc).
i can safely say, that transform chansey is a monster with roar, transform, roost, defog, seismic toss, taunt, heal bell and so much more at its disposal.

speaking of defog normal types. i want to show something i actually find pretty effective for a offensive defogger:

Porygon4 (Porygon2) @ Eviolite
Ability: Scrappy
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 8 SpD
Modest Nature
- Roost
- Boomburst
- Defog
- Heat Wave/u-turn

meet porygon 2, gaining access to scrappy boomburst, recovery, defog and heat wave from swellow, making it a powerful utilitymon capable of taking hits, and dealing out significant damage of its own. people also dont expect scrappy boomburst with roost, since they forget swellow is a thing. :) all in all its a fun powerful set.
 
Do any of you think that Magnezone would work well as a support mon? Because I just came up with this off the top of my head:

Latios (Magnezone) @ Light Clay
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Reflect
- Light Screen
- Roost
- Thunderbolt

Roost gives it reliable recovery to make up for its meager HP stat. Thunderbolt is to give it a bit of an offensive presence and take advantage of its beefy SpA.

Cresselia would make a good donor too, now that I think about it. Granted, Cresselia is much bulkier, but Magnezone has a few perks over her, namely a much better defensive typing and a good attacking stat. You know, I didn't realize it before, but Electric/Steel is a wonderful defensive type when coupled with Levitate. With 11 resistances and two immunities, there's a ton of stuff it can safely switch in on.

Not my idea, but

Pidgeot-Mega @ Pidgeotite
Ability: No Guard
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Boomburst
- Chatter
- Heat Wave
- Nasty Plot

Because why not ?
this reminds me, that a really good abuser for pidgeot is actually mewtwo..giving it thundercane, blizzard, dynamic punch, focus blast, psystrike, calm mind, recover, and so much more stuff to abuse it with.
 
Has anyone used a gale wings set yet? Taken straight from aaa:
Braviary (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

even without ground stab? I honestly like staraptor or braviary over lant because of that lack of stab. TBH I don't even like gale wings in this meta, I think just running espeed is better. Espeed braviary is a good enough revenge killer imo, and landorus-therian is better suited to grab aerilate from megamence because it can abuse those dual stabs. Its preference, I guess, but I don't like gale wings.

Hey guys how Viable do you think this will be


Blastoise @ Blastoisite
Abillity: Drizzle
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Origin Pulse
- Thunderbolt / Thunder
- Ice Beam
- Calm Mind / Ancient Power

Inherited from Kyogre. Meet Mega Blastoise, destroyer of worlds. It has access to something even the kind of water types (Kyogre) is jealous of. Access to Origin Pulse, Drizzle as a pre mega abillity, and Mega Launcher as a post mega abillity. This pretty much equates to the ulitmate Wall breaker. It also has Boltbeam coverage against the pokes who resist Origin Pulse. Calm Mind is for even more power, and if you feel like taking down possible Fire type Desolate Land users, you can use Ancient Power

It's not about liking. It's sweeping half the Metagame. Smogon Bird is terrifying in OU. Imagine how something that has almost 175% its Base Stat in Attack must be. Not to mention the HP to squeeze in more Banded Brave Birds or Roost off damage in a Bulky SD set.
