I've been using this on Murkrow and its so good. You can beat Arceus normal 1v1 using this.

Actually I'm finding this quite good in Ubers because everything there has such high attack stats, and...

Apart from Toxic I find that Specs/Band users can really screw Quagsire so I find Knock Off/Thief useful. Stuff like Scizor are far less dangerous without their Choice items.

Pretty much. Get a sub up and its a free turn in reserve more or less.

The misprediction occurs on their first move, you can't Encore nothing. If they SR, you can Encore next turn but they'll probably switch out anyway. If they use Spikes they don't even care about...

Whatever.

Because its so stupid to setup on a Whimsicott sometimes they predict a switch and seed you and bam, free setup. Other times it backfires.

Same thing that happens with pursuiting, you...

The Cloyster example was to say what people do when they see a Cloyster, not anything to do with Dragonite.

Rain Dragonite doesn't need Leftovers to deal with Sandstorm so I'd actually consider trying Yache or something.



I get your point. Sometimes it will be best to Agility first, but as mentioned...

Life Orb really works against Multi Scale, but otherwise that rain set is solid.

Yes you get walled by Blissey and whatever, but this is why you don't use Agility immediately. Much better to fire...

The enemy HP matters far more. Leech Seed is still awesome but I miss having Blissey and Snorlax everywhere to abuse it on.

For 4x weak to grass sure, but I've setup Suicune on Ferrothorn more times than I care to count even with Power Whip and Leech Seed. You have a fair few chances to burn it with Scald, and after that...

Well is it worth it losing your best sand sweepers to try and 2HKO Swampert? As with EQ/Surf/Ice Beam he can OHKO a lot of them back.

I guess Scizor is a pretty decent switching to Slowbro for the free U-Turn so Flamethrower on the switch is good, not to mention an overall good move that gives him something to use in the sun.

Well STAB Surf/Scald hits Scizor almost as hard and you have to switch out of Scizor anyway. Ferrothorn doesn't particularly enjoy risking a burn from Scald, but yeah Flamethrower cooks him.

You do realise you are contradicting yourself right?

You can't say both "Escavalier DOES have its perks over scizor" and "it is just not enough" because a perk the definition of it being enough.

Well that all depends on how many SDs/NPs you get in.

+2 is doing a lot more than 1.3x, but +2 with LO is doing almost as much as +4.

I find one of the biggest problems with Life Orb is that weak attacks and Will-o-Wisp are some of the best moves to setup on, meaning you only get a few turns of sweeping with LO due to the recoil.

Ice Beam is neutral, so 95NP. HP Fighting hits it with 140BP. Hydro Pump hits with 135BP. Surf hits with 107BP.

So even a STAB Surf in the rain is stronger than a neutral Ice Beam.
