EDIT: I lied (forgot to account for intimidate in calcs), Lando isn't that bad of a switchin -1 252 Atk Choice Band Stakeout Mabosstiff Crunch vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Landorus-Therian: 190-225 (49.7 - 58.9%) -- 75% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery -1 252 Atk Stakeout Mabosstiff Crunch...

Terablast-Psychic Tatsugiri is a possible option. Immune to Water and resists Fighting and Psychic so it can stop some Palafin, and Psychic coverage lets it hit Clodsire regardless of ability and Toxapex. Leaves you wanting against Dondozo though Tatsugiri @ Heavy-Duty Boots / Life Orb Ability...

I strongly disagree. It's slow and weak to rocks in a meta where everything and its mother has hazards, so not having boots usually cuts into its overall bulk. Giving up both recovery and utility (wisp) seems like a really bad decision to me. Imo the only situation where you don't run...

Grafaiai @ Leftovers Ability: Prankster EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD Careful Nature - Encore - Knock Off - Parting Shot - Taunt This thing is actually kind of decent at shutting down Flutter Mane. You can encore it into using Shadow Ball or a boosting move, it's OK at taking...

It has 90 base attack, so it's significantly less scary without Strong Jaw. Obviously it can still clean your team with Sand Rush but things can actually take a hit. Also, rain will probably not be up if it's running Sand Rush. 252+ Atk Choice Band Strong Jaw Dracovish Fishious Rend vs. 252 HP /...

Eternatus seems like it can do a lot of stuff reasonably well. The specs set can 2HKO max spdef Toxapex (252 SpA Choice Specs Eternatus Dynamax Cannon vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Toxapex: 150-177 (49.3 - 58.2%) -- 97.7% chance to 2HKO) but Pex has regen and there's no shortage of fairies in the tier...

Will Dragapult even be viable in Ubers? I haven't been that impressed by it in OU

Hippowdon seems to be one of the only safe switches into Zacian. Running Hippo + Exca gives you both a safe switch and a way to beat it (Hippo EQ only does like 70% uninvested, its best option if it switches into SD is to Roar and hope for the best) T-Tar makes your team even weaker to Zacian...

Might be talking out of my ass here, but Hippowdon sand teams could be decent in Ubers. Resetting weather will be more difficult than simply swapping in pogre or pdon (still not entirely sure how Dynamax works but from what I've heard you need to use a move to summon weather), Hippowdown has...

having a blast with this thing. stops xurkitree, pheromosa, and celesteela cold, and checks tapu koko. really needs wish support to be most effective though. i've been using unaware clefable as a partner to it, but it's a big bummer that clefable doesn't have Stealth Rock until the Bank starts...

this pokemon is ridiculously good as a support. decent bulk with generally reliable recovery in Synthesis, access to the coveted Rapid Spin, access to Aromatherapy, and other useful moves like U-Turn, Grasswhistle, and dual screens is absurd. its physical movepool is decent but it's definitely...

really underwhelming pokemon i think, really would be better with recover and calm mind - the swords dance set is ok but it has a lot of competition, and the LO mixed set is also outclassed by a lot of other pokemon the pivot set is actually pretty good though - afaik it's the only pokemon with...

jesus fucking christ this thing hits hard i've seen this being run as both a wallbreaker with tail glow and a scarfed pivot with volt switch and it's probably a top threat i think +3 252+ SpA Xurkitree Thunderbolt vs. 4 HP / 252 SpD Eviolite Chansey: 255-301 (39.7 - 46.8%) -- 36.3% chance to...

Hi, thanks for your input! My main problem with Kanghaskan is that Yveltal loses a good chunk of health when I have to switch into it - I actually get 2HKO'd by Return if I switch in while Rocks are up. If I switch into Power-Up Punch, I am KO'd by a +2 Return, Rocks or no Rocks. Moreover, I...

I decided to start playing again after leaving competitive pokemon at the end of gen 5. Took me a while to relearn type interactions, but I managed to throw together a cookie-cutter almost-decent team that sort of works. It definitely plays like Semi-Stall where I absorb hits and try to get...

Personally I'd rather take an IV and die a quick, painless death at the end of the road. To all those who'd rather watch me die a slow, agonizing death through the span of several years: HUGE UNNECESSARY PICTURE Prerequesites for euthanasia (these were more or less stated through the thread...

I used this set back on PO server during the time that OHKO moves weren't banned and it was a monster. Playing against this thing is a huge fucking gamble - The 2 Pokemon with Sturdy actually viable in Ubers (Forretress and Skarmory), are both easily 2HKO'd with Scald after Stealth Rock damage...

tbh I see the clauses fine as they are - in fact, I'd even support Freeze Clause coming back. I want this game to be as much of a game of skill and as little a roll-the-dice luckbag as it can be. I definitely do not support OHKO clause removal. I do not want to be forced to run Sturdy or risk...

I'm GMT -4, should be online later today (have to go in a bit but should be on afterwards)

http://www.debate.org/debates/Should-headless-clones-be-allowed-if-they-figure-out-the-science-of-how-to-do-it/1/ Think of a very extreme version of this. Sorry for not explaining earlier. EDIT: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,138483,00.html This too
