Everything you mentioned is correct but Zeb should also get special mention because it avoids any Glare shenanigans with Serp since Electrics can't get paralyzed, so all in all, it makes a pretty decent switch-in it seems.

Why would I want to use this mega though? Not only can it not take priority at all which is pretty common with Gatr, Kabutops, and Hariyama around, it also doesn't have access to the much better tinted lens that normal Mothim has which makes it hit harder than this mega Mothim on resisted hits.

Personally, I don't really like Wish Granbull, Recover Lanturn, and Knock Off Primeape because they're really obvious, super beneficial buffs that there would be no question to use them if available. Unburden Victreebel is my favorite this slate because while it is situational, as a set it seems...

Everyone's discussed most the suggestions enough, so I'll just say that Mach Punch Pangoro is definitely my favorite. This helps mitigate its speed problem obviously, but choosing between Scrappy to bypass immunities and Iron Fist for more power is your new problem. Suggestion: Samurott with...

I started playing the games with my older sister, and she would often teach me what to use even though it was always awful. One particular strategy I remember was using a weak move and then a DIRECT upgrade of that move on all of my pokemon just in case I didn't need the stronger move for some...

I like the idea behind this, but even with an NP boost, you're still not hitting terribly hard. After all, Kecleon only has base 60 SpA which means that it absolutely needs a boost before it starts doing decent damage with your set. The special bulk is nice, but you're not living many physical...

I wouldn't say being weak to hazards was its main problem as a spinner, but rather not being able to beat any of the spin blockers was. Granted, being weak to hazards was a big problem. I do have to agree that Cryogonal in general has more utility as it even has Freeze Dry to beat the bulky...

Don't forget Armaldo as a spinner. With the buff to Knock Off and access to Aqua Tail, Armaldo is rain beats most of the relevant spin blockers besides Doublade and even then after an SD Knock Off does this: +2 252+ Atk Armaldo Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Eviolite Doublade: 212-250...

Regirock isn't really a counter to Typhlosion, Magmortar, and Archeops if it's getting 2HKO'd after rocks. It's a very solid check to these things, but calling it a counter is giving it too much credit. Now on a sand team: 252+ SpA Magmortar Focus Blast vs. 0 HP / 252 SpD Assault Vest Regirock...

Actually I mentioned this set in the NU theorymon thread quite a while ago before even OU was really settled. Jolly is the preferable nature since once Weakness Policy activates, you don't really need the extra power from Adamant and outspeeding positive base 113's and below (Serperior, Pyroar...

Actually, on the topic of weather teams, I've been having success with rain teams the most this gen and probably my most favorite member is Qwilfish. Last gen, one of the main problems that rain teams struggled with was weakness to Toxic Spikes as the team archetype didn't really have anything...

Qwilfish is also another good option this gen not just because of Intimidate but also its access to Spikes. It can set up pretty easily on thing like Scyther, Choice-Fighting-types (Sawk, Ape, etc.), and even Granbull. Spinning and Defog are semi-prevalent, but it has Pain Split to recover a bit...

Hey, I know we've only spoken maybe once before, but I was wondering if you wanted to maybe play some NU and RU together? I've played NU for a while, but I haven't touched 6th gen NU at all because I haven't gotten the chance, but I wanted to try some things with someone. You seem pretty well...

I don't really like this set too much as there isn't much reason to pour that many Speed EV's on it. Classic SD Gatr normally runs a bit more bulk as it falls under the base 80 speed tier, so in general there aren't too many things it should focus on outspeeding. Also, you should probably be...

We discussed Granbull earlier and kinda concluded that it was more of a C+ mon. Yeah, it checks and counters a lot of the things you mentioned, but all of those Fighting-types carry Knock Off. Losing Leftovers is a lot more detrimental to Granbull than you let on mainly because that's Granbull's...

We probably will get Rhydon at least considering Rhyperior is currently in RU, so there's not much reason to use Rhydon. Hopefully that'll keep up over the next 3 months and we get all of those to drop.
