You guys played the same guy (koyomi)! Definitely am surprised by either Chandelure's bulk or Weavile's lack of power in the Beat Up used vs. Chandelure (soul_survivor's game) and Abomasnow's bulk in surviving a Helping Hand Dark Gem Sucker Punch from Druddigon (Solace's game).

A Modest 252 SpA, Choice Spec'd Gastrodon will 2HKO a SpD natured 252 HP / 252 SpD Ferrothorn with Earth Power after a Storm Drain boost, so Gastrodon can effectively stop a Ferrothorn on a Rain team if you correctly predict and eat a Water move. Scenario sometimes goes like...

Been seeing more and more Speed Boost Sharpedo lately, usually on Rain teams. Can do around 44-52% with a Rain boosted Life Orb Aqua Jet to a 252 HP EV Conkledurr before Mach Punch lands, so there is still some danger present if you're trying to counter with a Fighting Pokemon/move.

This scenario is very likely as Garchomp and Metagross seemed to be conjoined at the hip in GBU singles, thankfully with some prediction you can handle at least one of the two while leaving the other damaged for hopefully a Pokemon you have in reserve to clean up. First off, I thought an...

Just to add on to Magicxgame's nice post, here are a couple of Pokemon I find I run into that weren't mentioned. I started playing GBU Singles at the start of Season 2 and am fluctuating in the 1700 rating area after ~300 some games. An addition to Magicxgame's Conkledurr entry: it seems like...
