I don't know if this is the right thread but Turtonator is bugged in Gen 7 OU in Showdown. Z-move Shell Trap does not work like in the game. In the game Z-move Shell Trap does not have the Shell Trap properties at all, it's simply a HUGE BP fire move. It's quite good but one time use of course...

It's very early in the thread and it will be my last message here but I completely agree with the precedent messages and woud like to sum up saying that basically M-Gengar is like having the ability to choose one or two pokemon of your opponent team and remove them. Which is not only powerful...

Jukain raises some valid points if you consider Gengar only as a Special Attacker but the fact is that M-Gengar can seem too advantageous when played correctly with Shadow Tag and Destiny Bond/Perish Song, as a Ghost with Levitate it gets quite often some free switch in (spinblocker etc.) once...

Luxray with assault vest is excellent. With guts you don't fear being burned and you have 120 base attack, with electrik you don't fear paralysis anymore. Give him an assault vest and its already very good bulk makes it impossible to break for usual special attacker and you can still put some...

Actually the only reliable way to deal with M-Khan aside from its 'counters' (which heavily depend on M-Khan moveset) is to throw everything you got at him hoping that you'll trade 1-1. M-Khan is even more annoying in well-balanced team because when it is put as a lead it might surprise you and...

Ok I give up, I love this mega-evolution but unfortunately it's far too weak for OU even with tailwind or sticky web up. There are a lot of things that you cannot OHKO and that will simply kill you back with anything because of your poor resistance. And with Shadow sneak it's even worse. Base...

Don't forget that you can alternatively Defog if you absolutely need a clean side and if no rapid spinners suits you. Avalugg can rapid spin and is one of the slowest pokemon and has ice body plus good defense and good attack. Scizor can defog too and don't mind being in a Trick Room...

I actually love Greninja with spikes but I have a very hard time choosing between toxic spikes/spikes + 3 moves for coverage or both spikes but only 2 moves for coverage. My team depends heavily on entry hazard and toxic spikes are so great against some threats which I can stall that it's really...

Yeah I played him in Pokebank OU, Wood Hammer hurts you a lot unfortunately so use it wisely.

Jellicent is a beast in such a team I don't play him because I just don't like its sprite haha. I'm doing great with MAbo on the ladder, as long as my side is clean it's a nightmare for my opponent, the choice of the lead is crucial for you because if you mispredict your opponent lead he can...

(Long post, sorry if I make some mistakes, not a native speaker) 1) BORING PART I'm still tuning him meta-game wise, I go for mixed attack with Ice Shard now, I was fed up with its slow speed getting him killed and Ice Shard is actually really great on tons of situations. But it's still very...

I completely agree with metagamesecrets Khan is far too strong in OU (meaning that you cannot build a team without thinking about countering Khan), the only reliable counter being defensive Skarmozy or a successful burn. I think that Khan would be too weak in Uber but it sure has nothing to do...

Serperior is really a big threat now with its Leaf Storm that instantly set him up and its great speed. The biggest issue being... that leaf storm is 90 accuracy and if you miss the first one you are pretty much dead, it might sound silly but I'm relunctant to play him just because of that. I...

You would have to do the calc against the main threats in the metagame, I'm going for max HP max SpA at the moment, but it's really hard to choose a physical move, I may even drop Giga Drain/Leech seed for EarthQuake/Wood Hammer

Hard to say HP EVs do feel useless since abomasnow will not sponge many attacks, max speed would not mean much Mega Abo only has 30 base Speed :/ You can outspeed poke with no speed Evs invested like rotom w, mamoswine or donphan but I think that they would prefer to switch out anyway

Yes I forgot that Swampert has access to stealth rock, it might be a great choice actually, I'm gonna put him in my team with max HP and max Def since it's already immune to electric attack thus covering anything that would threat tentacruel. Since it can learn roar it could be a good phazer...

Blaziken is indeed strong but has too much counters and not so great coverage. First HJK can miss and it will, and Flare Blitz damages you, Blaziken is made of glass and on top of that you can safely switch in a lot of pokemon: Gyarados, Azumarill, Vaporeon, Dragonite, Talonflame, Chandelure...

If you do so you need to find a way to avoid stupid leads in your opponent team, if they have a baton passer that you can't taunt, OHKO or Phaze it will be very hard, same thing for lead that put spikes or sticky web. Aerodactyl is just a fast way that I use to avoid these situations but maybe...

Haha just tested another build with full SpA on Mega Abomasnow, its Blizzard hits HARD man, I got several OHKO on the opponent switch, they were not expecting it.

I've been thinking about putting Mamoswine instead of Tentacruel, with Thick Fat (and maxed SpD :x). Mamoswine is immune to electricity and can use Stealth Rock. So maybe I could find another Pokemon instead of aerodactyl to counter leads and some annoying pokemon. Yeah not using recover is a...
