The nice thing I like about that Will O'Wisp Charizard is that you don't mind switching out to deal with heatran. It's not like you're losing your setup with DD because you lack the cover move.

I've been running a Baton Pass Scolipede to hand a DD-DC-FP-BB-Charizard sword dances, substitutes, and speed boosts. I don't always choose him to pass the SD too (because nobody wants to be predictable), but when I do, mother of god... Baton Pass can be gimmicky, so the key is to be...

When is Scizor not walled by Skarmory? If you're using Scizor in any-way-shape-or-form, you should probably have a Skarmory counter on your team.

Defog is super appealing to me - with the metagame's giant reliance on hazards, it's is an incredibly disruptive way to play. It makes SR-weak pokemon that much more viable, negates many setup leads, weakens the niche of many spinblockers. However, when you prefer to play the most of your...

Base 100 is so common that I'd rather gamble on jolly. If you're not gambling, you're losing. I run sticky web support, and even then I'm nervous until I get a Dragon Dance under my belt. As for adding Dragon Claw & ignoring the Azumarill & Heatran counters, you can let one go but I'm not a...

I was wondering about that, so I started playing with this loadout for a Knock Off Tentacruel in the calculator: Adamant, Assault Vest, EV spread of HP172/Attack 168/SpecialD 168. Assumed a standing a battle where Gengar goes first and keeps using thunderbolt while Tentacruel uses knock off...

my load out in this respect is a bit unconventional. Bold nature, 252 HP/252 Def/ 6 speed, and an assault vest. the team has sticky web support, so I did not feel compelled to invest in speed.

I've been using Tentacruel as a spinner, too. I gave him Knock Off, which spin blockers hate. I can't wait until Poke bank comes out so I can give Charizard Scizor-defog support. Just scuttle those hazards, murder those faeries, call it a day.

Hippowdon, Skarmory, Gliscor? Is Mega Aggron a thing? Flare Blitz can be boosted of course, but the disgusting amount of recoil it does after a Dragon Dance is something I want to avoid, especially when I'm only using the fire move to target a weakness. I'll 1HKO a Scizor or a common grass...

I'm not sure what sort of point you're trying to make about Fire Blast when an Adamant Flare Blitz , Dragon Claw, or EQ isn't going to beat Hippowdon either. The whole match-up is suicide for Charizard X and I'd rather avoid it Fire Blast isn't there for Hippowdon though, it's there so I'm not...

Yeah, See my edit. That nature unfortunately sucks in every scenario, though I can see why you want to stick with the shiny. :) You could Charizard Y it and rationalize you his special is strong enough, and that you need the extra attack is to keep a strong EQ on hand for heatran & Volcarona...

Man that nature sucks. Since you're special A isn't impacted, you might try a mixed attacker? But then that really isn't suited to belly drum. I don't hate belly drum set on Charizard X, though. +6 Flame Charge kills a lot of stuff & gets you speed and +6 Earthquake & Dragon Claw to kill the...

Base 100ishes. They're pretty common - Gyarados, Charizard, Volcarona, Garchomps, Tentacruel, Hydreigon, Garchomp, Salamence, etc - and not all of them are choosing speed boosting natures or EVs. Even in XY battlezone I see more than a few Garchomps choosing to boost attack rather than speed...

Tentacruel, who sees a lot of spin blockers, loves Knock Off. I had an excellent game that I won barely thanks to knock off and also the assault vest. My opponents last Pokemon was a Choice Scarf Gengar, locked in Focus Blast. My very hurt Tentacruel, who only had 50ish health left. Focus...

hello, sir. I have an egg with you TSV on it. I sent a private PM, hope to hear back from you soon.

hey, dude, apparently I got a shiny egg that matches your shiny id. Sent you a PM. Hope you can help.

Man, I'm given up on trying to make this guy work. Just too slow to outrun his bad typing I feel, which makes me really uneasy about using him. If I'm treating him as a liability, I probably shouldn't be using him in the first place. Best luck I've had with him is switching in on Stealth Rock...

New here, but a hazard clearer should go without saying (having maybe both defog and rapid on separate guys just to ensure Stealth rocks can't ruin your day). Him and Scizor are also best friends, too, each resisting the other's weaknesses.
