So this may be a silly observation, but Spirit Shackle and U-Turn provides unresisted coverage, right? Outside of MegaBunny and Pyroar I suppose.

I'm a total doubles noob, but I'm starting to get more into it. I feel like Meowstic-M actually has a lot of potential in doubles. Priority Mean Look, Priority Screens and Fake Out. I dunno if this is the right place to post this, but it was something I thought merited discussion. Sorry if this...

Eh... I prefer the power to the speed. You don't even beat ScarfChomp or anything with Jolly which is the main threat I can think of.

I think Mamoswine KOs Dragonite with Icicle Crash anyway, doesn't it?

Resisting ground, water, fighting, dark, and being totally immune to dragon is a good thing. Definitely worth trading for a steel weakness to something which already slaughtered it anyway. (As in -- being weak to Scizor's priority move instead of it's pivot move is a good thing.) It's also no...

What actually is the crit chance with Scope Lens and Focus Energy?

I'd rather have an answer to Heatran (which if you don't megaevolve, practically just counters Heatran), but my team has other answers to Azumarill, so that's not really an issue for me. Thunderpunch also benefits from Tough Claws, though. So the damage is about the same otherwise.

I think most of the point of this move was to give ice-types something unique to call their own honestly. ...offense is really all they have going for them, and so many things learn Ice Beam that aren't ice types.

Calm, 252 HP, 40 SpAttack, 212 Special Defense. I believe.

Sacred Sword is my preference. It loses out on STAB but I think it's important to hit dark types as hard as possible. Fighting also has better coverage otherwise than steel does. If fairies are a problem for your team it's helpful, though. Don't like Swords Dance on Aegislagh. Shadow Ball...

Yeah using MegaManectric to bounce around your opponents team and volt switch EVERYTHING is really it's best use. I like to run Thunder Wave too just to spread the status as much as possible. But it's probably better to run T-Bolt or a Hidden Power. It hits hard, maybe not as hard as if it had...

You don't need to sweep to make good use of Aegislash with Weakness Policy. Weakness Policy guarantees at least one KO when you use Aegislash. For me Aegislash is a battering ram that you use to guarantee at least one KO. It makes for an AMAZING late-game cleaner. Can take a super-effective hit...

I think it's best to look at it this way. Say Meloetta was released. And for years everyone was just using Meloetta as a Meloetta. Suddenly, they release Relic Song for Meloetta. Meloetta is hugely improved by this because now it has access to it's Pirouette Form. But that doesn't mean Meloetta...

I'd rather drop Night Slash... I never found it that useful since Sucker Punch is such an easy prediction on Absol. Unless you're up against Swords Dance Aegislash or something stupid like that. But you'd probably be better fire blasting that anyway. Well, Play Rough is also illegal on a...

Okay, so been trying out Togekiss on Pokebank OU. And... it's REALLY cool. At first I thought it was kinda eh. The Nasty Plot set was okay, and Defog is useful (Togekiss being sort of in the same position as Volcarona in that it can just use a recovery move and it's bulk to make up for stealth...

Trevenant has OU potential as a spinblocker and generally just a really good grass-type, though. Dunno if it'll make it, but we'll see.

For X if you wanna go bulky I wouldn't run Dragon Dance.

I think Snatch would be more useful, but that's gonna be illegal with Play Rough and Fire Blast is good on pretty much all of the most common steel types in the tier... certainly more useful than Baton Pass or something.

Right. I knew that... I think. It's been a while since I've used Absol. But yeah, it's for those things anyway. They're bulky enough to take an unboosted hit and can deal decent damage.

Skarmory, Ferrothorn, Forretress... they lay entry hazards so you can't Sucker Punch them, and Fire Blast does more damage.
