Reflect Latios Latios (M) @ Life Orb Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Reflect - Draco Meteor - Roost - Psyshock Unlike Latias, Latios does not learn Reflect Type. So it needs another way to get past Pursuit trappers. Reflect also helps its...

People are forgetting one thing about Cofagrigus in NU. This: will be on every low ladder team. vv Teams that run this "core" give Cofagrigus Eject Button to give a free switch to Slaking.

All-Out Mixed Attacker Dragonite Fly Dragonite is funny, but in all those replays Fly was Dragonite's least important move. Half the time it won just by SubRoost stalling. It hits Scizor and Ferrothorn neutrally, but they both love the chances Fly gives them to SD or set up hazards.

Glaciate's a good option for normal Kyurem, but for me Teravolt is worth the slight power loss.

Icy Wind Kyurem-B Kyurem-Black @ Life Orb Ability: Teravolt EVs: 20 Atk / 252 SpA / 236 Spe Mild Nature - Icy Wind - Earth Power - Fusion Bolt - Ice Beam / Roost Icy Wind allows Kyurem-Black to stay in and KO enemies it's normally forced to switch out of, such as Mega Metagross, Mega...

Is diversity what we really want, though? Without a blanket check or two, it's nearly impossible to prepare for every threat in OU using 6 Pokemon and 24 moves. No one likes losing on turn one because of a bad matchup.

This test is about Shadow Tag in the context of stall teams, and set up opportunities are not what stall teams need. Wobbuffet can temporarily stop many of the usual stallbreakers if it switches in at the right time, but it can't permanently shut them down the way trickscarf Goth can.

It's not an inherently bad thing when we can't get up hazards easily. But it is a bad thing when your ability to get hazards up depends entirely on whether the opponent has one specific Pokemon.

Counter Gliscor Wow, I thought Ice Fang Gliscor was standard this whole time.

Guarantees the 1HKO on Durant while avoiding a 2HKO by LO Durant's X-Scissor. I'm skeptical, because Bronzong is a shaky Durant check even with HP Fire.

What separates Shuckle from every other Sticky Web user is that it is not a suicide lead. It doesn't have to run Focus Sash and you're not playing 6-5 with a poorly built team if your opponent has any form of hazard removal. It has ways of mitigating the risk of opponents Taunting or setting up.

How to make every meta better: Apply a penalty score to all Eeveelutions by subtracting 3% from their usage. People on the low ladder have no clue how to deal with Fake Out, so they think it's an awesome move that does awesome free damage.

UU? Even in OU, those six are the ELO 1000 Starter Pack.

Simple is Numel's niche in Little Cup, not AG. Simple Numel is outclassed by numerous defensive Pokemon. Use it with Own Tempo or don't use it at all.

Contraire. : I posted an Ambipom set of my own a while back, but mine is obsolete now that all the bulky Psychics it targeted are gone from the tier. I'll give your set a shot, but Ambi can't hurt a lot of bulky mons even at +1. Cottonee @ Eviolite Ability: Prankster EVs: 252 HP / 176 Def / 80...

I prefer Tornadus to Tornadus-T on rain teams for one reason (besides Prankster): Tornadus can 1HKO bulky Tyranitar with a combination of Superpower/Focus Blast and U-turn, Tornadus-T cannot.

Double Status Victini Victini @ Expert Belt Ability: Victory Star EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Will-O-Wisp - Bolt Strike - V-create - Thunder Wave Paralysis is an underrated status effect that pairs very well with Will-O-Wisp. Generally, anything that doesn't mind one...

Scrafty @ Leftovers Ability: Shed Skin EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spe Impish Nature - Knock Off - Drain Punch - Counter - Taunt Admittedly not a great set. Taunt forces physical attackers to try to hit it. The Impish Nature with 0 EVs in Defense ensure that Countering Golbat's Brave Bird will...
