For the Choice Band Set, mention Wish users (notably Jirachi) that help to mend Crobat's HP. I say Jirachi since it resists Crobat's weaknesses, and Crobat can come in on Ground attacks and be healed.

I recalculated it and you are right. Mistake on my behalf. I am fixing that right away. This interests me. I will think about it. These sets are helpful. Thank you for the help, and I will credit you for the extensive help that you've provided.

I was starting to wonder if Specs or Scarf was good enough for this one, or rather, if this one was good enough for Specs or Scarf. I fear that Scarf will help it outspeed, but it won't score those helpful KOs before being damaged. However, Specs just might work.

Hm, I guess it can't be helped. The Screech set proved only slightly helpful when tested. It could do well in UU, maybe.

I must say, your opinion has moved me. It does have the ability to switch into a large variety of attacks. Regarding Screech + Substitute: Yeah, it doesn't work ALL the time, but it sure can be a threat to unsuspecting Pokemon.

I am getting around to testing it. SubRoost is handy, but I keep asking myself: Are 80 / 80 / 80 defenses enough to do the job. Screech can't be compiled with it to force switches so it can Sub (well, it could) because then Flygon has only one moveslot left at that point. It might take too...

Yeah. Screech worked last generation, and it gives Flygon a sort of a niche: causing switches compiled with sweeping those that decide to stay in.

Seeing as Garchomp seems to be in OU to stay, I'm afraid that Flygon will, in fact, fall down to UU. As much as this has been said [too much, actually], it is still worth preparing for. Still, the Hone Claws set could work. It's inferior to Swords Dance Garchomp, but it can prove viable if...

Well, then there's Gyarados, but thanks to Earthquake, Emopleon wouldn't be staying out for too long then. Torrent DOES seem to be more efficient at making Empoleon usable.

Yes, you are right. Defiant is a lot better than Torrent, but I'm not sure if it has been released quite yet. Does anyone know if it has?

Empoleon doesn't have a poor attack, it is just not as great as its special attack. In fact, Swords Dance sets are meant to cause switches. This means that if predicted correctly, Empoleon's attack can be skyrocketed. In other words, it's worth rewording what is said under the Defiant set. Also...

In the counters section, it may be useless to mention it, but HP Fighting dents Tyranitar and Scrafty. They will have to watch for that.

Is there any talk about teammates here?

@SJCrew: Thanks. I'm awful at wording, sometimes...

Not sure if this has been said, but it is worth mentioning that Double Chop has the same amount of power as Dragon Claw when the hits are combined. Dragon Claw has 80 BP, STAB makes 120 Double Chop has 40 for each, making 80. STAB then makes 120. Aside from breaking Substitute, this attack...

The "Cottonee vs Whimsicott" argument is remarkably similar to "Chansey vs Blissey". It's all a case of Leftovers recovery and bulk vs more bulk. All in all, both are acceptable. Just because Chansey enters OU, Blissey doesn't have to exit.

Okay. Sorry for bothering you.

Fixed.

Just a thought: Tyranitar or Hippowdon could be mentioned in Team Options for their Abilities (and Tyranitar's ability to switch with Garchomp at times)

Thank you for the huge amount of help here. I changed the set names, as you wished. Adamant has been added to the first set. Also, Zen Headbutt is last on the fourth slot because it seems to be for specific Pokemon other than clean coverage. Pursuit has been added to hit the Latis, however...
