I was talking about boosters, therefore Unaware Clefable. Sorry if I wasn't clear on that. Though Magic Guard Clefable would suffer similar problems as well given how popular Scizor and Lucario are, moreso if they boost. Why would you assume that Magic Guard Clefable would switch in on boosting...

This is why pure damage calculations can be misleading as you need to take into general usability. The point of Unaware is to come in and stop boosted mons. Quagsire can come in one boosted mons and force switches with burns and toxic, while in the case of Clefable the player needs to wait until...

Taking 87% is not tanking ^^;. You don't want to come in on 87% damage. And that's not even taking into consideration Life Orb or a possible Choice Band. Also bullet punch and not Flash cannon on MLucario?

Clefable is a bit overrated. that's for sure. The more threatening boosters of OU, Scizor and Lucario, carry STAB attacks that threaten Clefable. I suppose it can stop a boosted Volcarona for a few, but it doesn't have any moves that hit back hard and unoosted Volc still hits hard. Ah...

STAB Ice Beam and Hidden Power are that good, I suppose. Greninja also functions as a competent component of volt-turn cores with STAB U-Turn. What's more is that it often does both in one set. Another contributing factor is that rain has fallen out of favor so scarfed Hydro Pump spamming Keldeo...

Whimsicott is the spawn of Satan himself. Those horns aren't just for show. http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-75309817 http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-75346238 I dare say, it can almost as annoying as Klefki.

With the kind of bulk it's sporting, Heliolisk needs to net KOs when it's out. It wouldn't survive even with the healing from Parabolic Charge. Volt Switch with Solar Power seems nice though as Heliolist wouldn't stay out and lose HP, but still hit hard.

Mean Look + Yawn Meowstic-M Meowstick@Leftovers Prankster EVs: 252HP / 252 Def Bold Mean Look Yawn Reflect Light Screen I've used this thing for a few battles and it's netted me some clutch plays. The basic strategy is to Mean Look on mons Meowstic can tank (of which there is a surpring...

It's assist Liepard but not made entirely of glass. Quite scary actually! Shuckle @ Leftovers Contrary Bulky spread, obviously Infestation Mud Slap Rest Sleep Talk This thing is pure evil if you can't 1 or 2hko it. Against set up sweepers it's probably more of a nuisance than anything, but I...

Scarf Chandelure outclasses Noivern if we're taking into account substitute and screens users. It also as better stats and STABs for the job, given that the most popular setter seems to be Klefki, though it has to be wary of swagger foul play.

I don't think base stats or destructive should be deciding fact for Noivern. Its viability hinges on how useful frisk will be in the OU metagame as it is arguably the best abuser of it. At the very least it'll be usable given the tools it has to abuse it effectively. About Mega Lucario, one...

That's highly predictable though since Lopunny is the only mon capable of that combination. The best counter, I think, is flinch spam and wear and tear. When players have Aromatisse out it's because Trick Room is pivotal for them. Iron Head and Poison Jab have farily good distribution if you're...

S6DG-WWWW-WWW3-YVUY TRRW-WWWW-WWW3-YVUM Some battles using my current team. Meowstic + Blastoise + Machamp lead works surprisingly well against common hyper-offensive teams, countering common threats like Greninja, Talonflame and Khangaskhan. Water Spout with Heal Pulse support under trick room...

Noivern is beastly. It may not have raw speed and power, but it has all the tools it needs to succeed in various niches. Frisk + U-Turn with 123 Spe lets it function as an excellent scout. It has good, if not great, coverage in energy Ball, Flamethrower, Shadow Ball, Draco Meteor, Hurricane and...

I'm currently rank 138 in triples with a 1806 rating(I think I'm the highest ranked American lol). My team consists of Meowstic, Aromatisse, Mega-Blastoise, Machamp, Shuckle and Talonflame. It's a trick room set at its core, but I often find success in bluffing trick room and starting off with a...

Aromatisse for A-rank easily. Just having it out means immunity to Taunt, Encore and Imprison (I think). Moves like STAB Dazzling Gleam, Heal Pulse and Aromatherapy/Misty Terrain make it useful even without trick Room Support, although it's even better with Trick Room. I've had some success...

It's around 2-3HKO depending on the build, but whatever's coming in needs to worry scald.

Yep. I tested it on a Machamp. An easy way to replicate it would be to use Le Nah double battles. I'll try digging through my replays to see if I saved it.

I like these changes quite a bit, specifically the changes to Wide Guard. The new mechanics help to punish mindless spread spam and spread-centric builds that plague multibattles, and ultimately create a slower paced and more tactical metagame in multibattles.

Female Meowstic is highly inconsistent in doubles and triples. It can sometimes grab +2 or even +4 from intimidates, but be dead weight other times if it's low SpA remains unboosted. It also lacks high BP attacks outside of Future Sight (which isn't too great in multibattles anyway) to deal with...
