No offence but this isn't really a new set at all. Everyone focuses on Nidoking's special attack, that's his only real niche in OU. While his attack may have been buffed, i've still only seen Nidoking used as a LO Sheer force special attacker. The only real difference with your set is that you...

Have you tried just going for a non transforming special Meloetta with u-turn? IMO, it makes a much better user of AV than its physical counterpart.

Goodra looks quite promising with this. However, i'd probably imagine T-tar and Heatran to be the most common users of this item.

In 3 days i've gotten 2 Shinies. Not sure if it's random luck or the shiny rate has increased.

IMO, CB Snorlax is legitimately good in this metagame. It can sponge common special attackers and either trap them or him extremely hard with a CB Return. It's also very good against sun. Any other Snorlax set is horrible outclasses in OU though, it never gets a chance to set up and has no...

I would really suggest using HP Fire over HP ice on Venusaur. You said that without it, you get walled by dragons. However, in my experience, Sludge bomb kills most dragons, bar garchomp (which u can use solarbeam against anyway) if u are on +2. Also, i prefer Giga drain > Solarbeam a lot more...

:( was one point away from top 100 and then lost 2 games in a row and dropped to 1816.... I'll keep trying though, these damn dragmag teams.

Hopefully last alt change. Getting somewhat close-ish to Hall of Fame on this alt.

I was under the impression that CB was its most common set. Honestly i haven't used Victini since Lavos Spawn's genesun team, but when that was popular, almost every victini i saw was choice banded. IMO, it's his best set, but I haven't used Victini recently since i stopped using that team.

Sorry, alt change. Lost a lot of games so i changed up my team a bit and started a new alt.

Pokemon Showdown! Username: GnuGnu5 Hall of Fame Standing: None as of yet! Dark Horse Pokemon Currently Working With: Shaymin, Cresselia Current Ladder Standing: None Been having success with these 2 pokemon lately so i shall start a new account and see how far i can get with these dark horses.

Pervesity Leaf Storm with a defensive set still works as well. Jaroda can use things like sub, glare, leech seed as well as leaf storm using offensive or defensive EVs. I personally went with offensive EVs with Sub,Glare,LS and HP Fire. Any sort of variation of tht works. Offensive Jaroda is...

I think Knock Off deserves a mention if u don't need Stealth Rock. Taking items off ur oponent is great, especially something like P2's evo stone.

Depends on wat u prefer. Iron Fist means tht u r crippled by burns and i would assume a guts boosted punch hits harder than an iron fist punch.

Yea, it'll be interesting to see how popular RestTalk Gyara will be this gen, since it was fairly common on stall teams in gen 4. Offensive Gyara has swept me once or twice in the last couple of days because i keep forgetting how dangerous it is to sacrifice a pokemon to it. Tho once the...

Wat? it's back up?

It's still a big problem tho. Most of the top leads from 4th Gen haven't gotten good DW abilities or new egg moves so u can expect SR on them. And new stuff learn SR like Nattorei who was very common in the beta. SR might not be as accessible this gen, but it'll still probably be as common this...

ScarfChomp is still very viable. I used it during the PO 5th gen beta and it still just revenges so with stuff with tht speed (Got me to #3 on the ladder). Sure there are faster pokemon now but most of them don't usually wear a scarf. Tht said, i don't like Fire Fang tht much. I didn't try...

Yea, Entry Hazards are still a major part of the metagame and SR is not an exception. Even tho it's only Beta stages, SR is still a very prominent factor. It is harder to block spin now as no ghost wants to switch into the Mole, but teams rarely have a spinblocker solely for SR. As for Rotom-A...
