This is a worst case scenario, where I'm using a pokemon that is not really great at dealing with the threat deal with it, this is just to show how much blissey can stretch an otherwise not so viable team. Blissey should be supported with physical tanks of course, and obviously something that...

So you wouldn't use wish on pokemon that could potentially get hurt? The main pull of blissey's gigantic wishes is that things that check can now counter. Lets have an example 252 Atk Choice Band Victini V-create vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Filter Mega Aggron: 262-310 (76.1 - 90.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO...

As I predicted Blissey's wishes are healing everything in the tier for nearly 100% of their HP. Allowing the player to make some crappy predictions and still have a 100% mon after the wish. Even if she is not as tanky as Chansey those wishes still make any supportive stall team way too bulky...

my problem with this is that mew is still taking a huge 41% from spec+anal VS on the switch in and now something more threatening to mew comes out, maybe houndoom? Victini? or the other things that are extremely threatening to special def mew that also happen to be super common. Which is why I...

As much as I hate to derail something as come to my attention that its pretty interesting and potentially unhealthy Should be mentioned that magneton is still doing the exact same thing magnezone was doing (volt switching way too hard) the only trade off being a minor defense loss, which is...

Mence really did change those HP's I'm seeing a LOT more things run ice beam and HP ice because of mence, weather that is a bad thing or not is up for discussion. I still think the tier is not really ready for him. Moxie snowballs too easily in conjunction with dragon dance, all you need is a...

Oops my bad, read you wrong.

Why is your chestnaught running overgrow? Bulletproof makes him immune to sludge bomb. Venomoth can't learn wave. That being said, I don't know what chestnaught could do to stop moth from setting up. Stone Miss doesn't even ensure KO. All it does it ensure that venomoth can't get something to...

I think we have the right to argue with a completely unfitting ban. I have to agree with WebBowser, the off handed Venomoth ban seemed silly for UU as it wasn't cause any problems here at all. I'm almost certain it will back in UU after its subject but I feel like we're wasting time on it when...

I'm 105% sure he just banned Venomoth to relieve the lower tiers since it simply was not a problem in UU but it was wrecking havoc on RU and especially NU.

Donphan is a great counter to mence until he starts running hydro pump!

252+ Atk Life Orb Adaptability Crawdaunt Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Virizion: 187-221 (57.7 - 68.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery 252+ Atk Life Orb Adaptability Crawdaunt Aqua Jet vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Virizion: 78-92 (24 - 28.3%) -- possible 5HKO after Leftovers recovery...

I just want to add that blastoise needs to run 72 speed to outspeed Adamant crawdaunt and is at risk of being 2HKO'd by knock off I'm not sure how much blastoise minds running speed though, I ran this back when crawdaunt was last in UU. If you really want to get down to it, there is a 37%...

Personally I've been using LO 4attacks, since with set up, crawdaunt has to sell away one of this needed coverage moves. Not to mention Stab + aqua jet is how you take out several sweeper checks switching in. While he is slow relative to sweepers, not much tanks outspeed even adamant crawdaunt...

Chestnaught is 2HKO'd by Aerial ace or loses an item to knock off Cobalion is taken out with Crabhammer + Aqua jet

Elephant will be great once some more dragons get unbanned, thats for sure. but it seems like a lot of the things that get banned just happen to have priority. I don't think I need to preach about UU's shortage of Priority, do I? You can scrape the barrel all you want out side of the few things...

I think most of my problem when running crawdaunt is people intentionally gearing up for what ever is being tested. I had a lot of people running arbitrary sets for stuff like florges or even another magnezone, just to take them out. Same is true for crawdaunt. I think the usage of toxicroak has...

actually only about 7% of them run impish max defense (sp.def is arguably better) so... 252+ Atk Choice Band Adaptability Crawdaunt Crabhammer vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Mega Aggron: 162-192 (47 - 55.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock even if it is impish max defense, the most it can do to...

yeah Shiftry is so bad defensively, even max defense shiftry is potentially 2HKO'd from anything bandedcrawdaunt has to offer. (and any superpower set at all) aside from knock off (still taking nearly 50% when the item is smacked away.) and with no reliable recovery to speak of (I really can't...

Aerial ace wasn't considered that bad because superpowers attack drop makes 2 SE super powers and 2 Neutral Crab hammers do the same damage. Not to mention it smacks anything decently hard that tries to resist his dual stab aside from like Poliwraith whom is still hit pretty hard by it (or...
