Swampert @ Swampertite Ability: Damp EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Rain Dance - Waterfall - Earthquake - Ice Punch The main focus of the team: this guy is the main reason why I run two priority Tailwinds. Not only does that 150 base Attack make a Waterfall really hurt like...

Clockwork Seal The 4SS can actually work to Blaziken's advantage though, as the prospect of guessing wrong is equally strong against or with Blaziken. The key difference between the two, however, is that if the Blaziken user guesses wrong, they still have momentum built up from Speed Boost, but...

Not necessarily, as Stealth Rock, Spikes, and Toxic Spikes are not a death sentence and thus can be played around. Once your spinner/defogger has been removed, you can still take calculated risks and, despite the odds being against you, win. With Blaziken, although it has tried and true...

That's te="Zazazaki, post: 4970307, member: 201367"]Terrakion resists Flare Blitz, your best bet with it is it bein weakened or you boosted enough, so you can strike it with a priority BB. Otherwise, you can't do much to it. Therefore I don't see you needin to outspeed Terrakion's max speed...

Imo there are three speed targets to outrun. Excadrill, Jirachi, and shockingly enough Terrakion. The first two can bethreatened with flare blitz whereas the last one threatens us with stone miss. If you're not running uturn however outspeeding Terrakion is a moot point.

I'd be inclined to agree if it were only Blaziken or another suspect in OU. But we have four, and its incredibly easy to throw two to three on a team and go to town. Excadrill is the only one that seems reasonable tbh what with the weather nerf.

Blaziken shouldnt have been brought off of ubers though. In fact his mega form seems like it was made to help him better compete within that tier. Scoliopede may be in a similar boat, though it does lack a key resistance to any priority move.

Mocha: Don't forget Tailwind. Giving your team double speed for four turns works very well with such a suicidal U-Turner. Shroomisaur: Definitely Breloom especially if running Tailwind and/or U-Turn. Breloom resists all of Breloom's weaknesses, can threaten any Rock type with Mach Punch and/or...

I will go more in depth when I'm off work, but I will say that while I recognize that Aegislash can be forced out with counters and checks, once those are weakened or eliminated, there's no reason for him not to sweep. Having said that, your set could work like that if SD was over HP Ice. Also...

Updates: Team: -Heatran +Mawile Aegislash: -Autotomize +Shadow Claw Tyranitar: -180 Def -Ice Beam +Stone Edge +180 HP Rotom-W: -Thunder Wave +Pain Split

Updated OP with an importable.

These are the three that stood out the most to me in your post. I agree Aegislash is OU, but out of curiosity what versions are you talking about? Anything with King's Shield is wasting a moveslot in my experience. Greninja is . . . questionable. I mean Protean looks good on paper, but its...

Lol I hear ya. But what would you rather have for a sweeper? Coverage or recovery?

Nice use of Mega Khan, though if I may make a suggestion. Drop Drain Punch for Ice Punch. This gives you an answer to Gliscor and dragons.

1100 Views: come on. I know yall either love it or hate it ;) speak up

Following changes have been made: Team: -Zapdos -Venusaur +Rotom-Wash +Heatran Talonflame: -Leftovers -Roost +Flying Gem +U-Turn Will add analyses for Heatran and Rotom-W in OP soon.

Thanks. Who would you recommend I drop for Heatran though?

How much are two birds and two bushes worth on my team? btw, sorry if I ramble a bit. 2a here and I'm almost out of it. Talonflame @ Flying Gem Ability: Gale Wings EVs: 92 HP / 252 Atk / 164 Spd Adamant Nature - Acrobatics - Flare Blitz - U-Turn - Tailwind Offensive Tailwind Support and my...

The best Fairy counter to dragons is probably defensive Clefable with Unaware and Cosmic Power/Moonlight/Stored Power/Moonblast. Actually, it's just a real good counter to any stat-booster and pretty forces them to use their phazer. Togekiss wins in terms of ability to grind out matches...

Resisting both STABs and being able to threaten with priority Brave Bird make Talonflame an awesome Blaziken check. Just have to watch out for Stone Edge (if Blaziken carries it) Still, doubt the existence of one check would make Blaziken any less Uber.
