I personally think that on more defensive sets, Dragon Breath could be a viable option over Dragon Pulse. True, you sacrifice a LOT of damage, but in return you get that 30% chance of paralysis. On certain teams I'd consider it to be a fair trade.

Despite the existence of Fairy type, I would actually go ahead and suggest a sort of "Cro-Garde" set. Zygarde@Leftovers Nature: Careful 252 HP/252 SpD/4 Atk Rest Sleep talk Dragon Tail Coil This set sacrifices the ability to hit almost any opponent for the ability to be an annoying prick to...

What makes Pyroar somewhat unique, and thus will give it a good niche in what will likely be the OU metagame, is its ability to easily handle Aegislash no matter how much it has set up, thanks to its unique typing. Of course, for this to work, Pyroar would have to run a set with Substitute, but...

Super CB Punch Bros What Opponents See 435477171286212665 Introduction Greetings, team raters! I'm Whitey McFly and this is the second team I've posted here on the forums. Ever since the beginning of Gen 5, I've been adding members to my teams that aren't seen every day in the Overused tier...

Relicanth and Carracosta are going to be a real force to be reckoned with in NU. Dual STABs from it are completely unresisted in the tier. With the former being the one that can carry Stealth Rock and a stronger STAB move, and the latter carrying Shell Smash, it's a real tossup between the two...

Now with the threat lists! Offensive Threats Aerodactyl - OHKOed by Galvantula, walled and 2HKOed by Milotic Breloom - Set up on by Volcarona. Trapped and OHKOed by Dugtrio Conkeldurr - A bit of a problem, but walled by Milotic. Darmanitan - Trapped and OHKOed by Dugtrio, walled...

Luckily that hasn't been a problem at the moment. Usually Infernape gets stopped before it can set up by Milotic (and most Infernapes I've seen have been Life Orb 4 attack variants). I will remember to exercise caution when using Sunny Day. However, since it is more often than not used...

I built this team on the PO Smogon server for use to sorta counter the weather teams out there. Please excuse the lack of animations, as I do not know how to use them. Anyhow, here goes. Mienshao @Life Orb Naive Regenerator 160 Atk, 96 SpA, 252 Spe Hi Jump Kick U-Turn HP Ice Sunny Day This...

You should list a Substitute set with leftovers as a set. 252 SpA, 252 Spe, 4 SpD Quiver Dance Substitute Fire Dance Bug Buzz This set loses out on a bit of coverage, but allows for setup on pokes that rely on status. For example, Substituting on the switch to Thundurus, or using...

I've always opted for the CB set with EdgeQuake, U-turn, and Quick Attack for priority.

This set gets walled hard by Dialga. An SE HP Dragon has merely 5 more BP than STAB Bug Buzz, and the only poke who it would be worth it against would be Reshiram, who resists Buzz. HP Ground is the better option because you can now hit Dialga AND Reshiram AND Zekrom for SE, instead of just...

I would think that a Resto-Chesto set would work great with Unburden. Chesto Berry 252 Atk, 108 Spe, 148 HP Rest Swords Dance Leaf Blade Rock Slide This set is made to be a physical sweeper. Rock Slide deals massive damage to Sceptile's weaknesses, while Leaf Blade is Sceptile's...

The spinblocker needs to be able to switch in on a spin. This guy works quite well as a spinblocker, it just takes some decent prediction to do so (that is required to be able to successfully spinblock, no?)

I did the damage calcs on standard Rapid Spin Starmie (252 hp/4 SpA/252 Spe) using the SubPuncher set listed. Starmie fails to OHKO with both Surf and Hydro Pump, dealing 65.18-76.96% and 81.68-96.6%, respectively, while Golurk is able to OHKO 100% of the time after Stealth Rock and a layer of...

With the whole HP Grass vs HP Ground, it all depends on whether you really want to hit Empoleon or Rotom-W. I vote for HP Ground because you're probably going to switch out if a Rotom-W comes out anyway, HP grass or no, because you're not going to OHKO it even with Specs, barring a crit of...

*Assuming that the other team has a scarfed Chandelure and that one poke makes a set completely useless*

The set that I use is a set based around countering pretty much every Dragon that will be ever used ever. Kyurem Babiri Berry Still deciding on a nature. Right now thinking Rash. 252 SpA, 60 Def, 196 HP Imprison Draco Meteor Outrage/Ice Beam HP Fire This set locks down both of the...

With the new Pokemon Desukaan (Cofagrigus) Slaking can pull the following set Mummy Monkey Leftovers 252 Atk 252 Spe 4 Hp Adamant/Jolly Pursuit Return Earthquake Slack Off Step 1: Get Cofagrigus hit by a contact move somehow. Step 2: Switch to Slaking. Hopefully your opponent...

Props to Youtube user Flaming Spade for this beautiful set: Sweeper lvl1 Aron lvl 1 Sassy is the best nature Sturdy ability Shell Bell Moves: Endeavor Tackle --- --- Requires Sandstorm (Tyranitar lead is best here). Thanks to the new ability of Sturdy, it acts like a...

I tested this guy on story mode (not competitive). A freshly caught one (lvl 70) with no EVs can sweep the champion by itself 0_0. I think that this one will go pretty far.
