Because then entry hazards or weather can break your sash. ...it's still not that great of a build IMO. Clefable can do so much more.

Would it be worth it to go for HP Rock instead, do you think?

More suggestions! Terrain Them Apart Win a match while always having Grassy Terrain, Electric Terrain, or Misty Terrain in play, excluding the first turn. Fetal Attraction Win a match in which you use a baby Pokemon with the move Attract to KO at least one of your opponent's Pokemon. Clippers...

I have a suggestion: Perfect Storm In a single match, create all four weather conditions and then win.

I'm still perfecting the strategy so for now my Ditto still has a Scarf, but when I get comfortable enough with it, I'll probably go with Leftovers or a Lum Berry.

I added a little bit to my post if you'd like to check that out.

I was seeing a lot of Dittos on both Stall and Hyper Offense teams a few weeks ago, but they seem to have disappeared again. Sad, really. Ditto is amazing this gen. Since we've been talking about Thundurus-I, let me tell you guys about the amazing combo that is Lundurus-I and Ditto. Paralyze...

Will do.

From Smogon's philosophy: As you can see, the goal of tiers is to place Pokemon based on power. Initially, Pokemon are placed based on usage, but that's only because higher-used Pokemon are generally the more powerful ones. But the reason why suspect tests happen is because a Pokemon might be...

Pokemon are not sorted into tiers based on usage, they are sorted into tiers based on power. For example, Ditto and Slowbro are both above Landorus for usage in OU and Landorus is definitely OU while Ditto and Slowbro are niche if anything.

As long as you don't come in on a Water-type move, CB Talonflame can counter Greninja. 252 Atk Choice Band Talonflame Brave Bird vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Greninja: 297-349 (103.8 - 122%) -- guaranteed OHKO Mega Luke is not easy to counter by any means. Off the top of my head, Azumarill and Clefable...

What is the difference between the OU ladder and the suspect ladder?

Can we talk about counters for a sec? A Scolipede with Protect and Baton Pass is very hard to shove out without him doing his job, even moreso if he runs Substitute instead of Protect. Sableye, Talonflame, and Skarm are all listed as counters in the OP, can anyone think of any others?

Has Lunar Dance been nerfed, or does it still restore PP?

Conkeldurr may be transitioning to anti-meta this gen. Rotom-W is the most-used Pokemon in OU right now, and many Rotom-W sets commonly carry Will-o'-Wisp. If you can get AV Conkeldurr to switch in on that WoW, you're golden. There are also some new WoW users, like Trevenant and Gourgeist...

ScarfMence is still a fairly solid revenge killer, and unlike 'Zard, he doesn't have a x4 weakness to Stealth Rocks, so Rapid Spin/Defog support isn't as important.

Magnezone is a phenomenal teammate for Clefable, but you do have to be careful because Magnezone can not eliminate Lucario, Heatran, Excadrill, and Aegislashes that run Sacred Sword. A good third teammate could be Garchomp, Flygon, or Krookodile. Additionally, if you're good at predicting...

Not having Fire or Ground coverage is a death sentence for any offensive Fairy. Maybe Aromatisse has a niche as a cleric, but Clefable outclasses Aroma in offense any day. Life Orb with no recoil > 4 more SpA.

We are not switching Clefable in on Steel attackers. This is the third time I have said that.
