  1. Pokémon Toxapex

    Pex loses to substitute + setup move Baneful Bunker can poison even through substitute, provided it's a contact move being used on it. And with terrain and rain everywhere, stalling it wouldn't be a bad idea. It also can do something against u-turn, along with passive recovery. It's a viable...
  2. Mareanie, Toxapex Discussion

    Infestation, I feel could use a possible mention. Lots of key tools in haze, recover, toxic spikes, baneful bunker, venoshock, scald, even light screen.
  3. Samurott, Dewott and Oshawott

    Oshawott does NOT get Sacred Sword or Shell Smash as egg moves. Tested with Smeargle. :(
  4. Sceptile

    Treecko does NOT get Dragon Pulse, Dragon Dance or Outrage as egg moves :(
  5. Other Stall

    Physically defensive Chesnaught with Roar + Spikes deserves a mention also for stall teams. As it also has access to Synthesis and Leech Seed.
  6. Other Good Cores

    I use that exact core but with a little tweaks: (Spiker) Chesnaught@Leftovers Bulletproof Impish 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe ~ Spikes ~ Synthesis ~ Roar/Taunt ~ Hammer Arm Taunt is great against Ferrothorn/Forretress without making TTar be Sassy with Fire Blast (Stealth Rock)...
  7. [WIP] Tentacruel someone please take over

    Definitely! I think Clear Body is better if you have a hyper offense team, because it can remove sticky web without the speed loss. But if you have a Stall or Bulky offensive teams, I think Liquid Ooze is better, as those teams don't really care too much about sticky web. It really depends on...
  8. Other Creative / Underrated Sets Thread (Read the thread, NO SHITTY GIMMICKS)

    I know that Tentacruel has a lot of issues with recovery even with Leftovers and needs a wish passer anyways to stay alive, but I typically find that I use Tentacruel to pivot special attacks more often than physical attacks especially Fire, Ice, Water, and Fairy Moves. Most physical pokemon...

    Great set! Overcoat Forry, I find much more useful than Sturdy now, due to the nerf to Hidden Power Fire, and less people seeming to run it. Overcoat forry also saves you a slot on your team that is usually occupied by a grass type for the sole purpose of absorbing Breloom's Spore.
  11. Pokémon Chesnaught (Revamp Occurring)

    I completely agree. For pure stall teams, Skarmory and Gorgeist usually take preference over Chesnaught as you have a spiker and spinblocker. Any stall team without skarmory, has a lot of trouble with Mega Khan and various physical set up sweepers. But Chesnaught definitely has a niche and...
  12. Pokémon Chesnaught (Revamp Occurring)

    Am I making claims. NO. I'm responding to AOPSUsers claims. Are any of his arguments, good arguments? Some yes, but he just keeps arguing that you can use prediction, which somehow makes Chesnaught less viable than say Ferrothorn. You tell me? Can Ferrothorn, Forretress or Chesnaught prevent Defog?
  13. Pokémon Chesnaught (Revamp Occurring)

    I really don't care about who outplays whom, I want a valid reason why Chesnaught is not viable in OU. That's all.
  14. Pokémon Chesnaught (Revamp Occurring)

    One can outplay that opponent in either circumstance. I still see no reason not to use Chesnaught. You are merely making up circumstances that are probabalistically likely in oder to validate your argument. But you have yet convince me why the sole purpose of a defogger (to remove hazards) fails...
  15. Pokémon Chesnaught (Revamp Occurring)

    You know, you will need prediction with Chesnaught as well. I can stay in, you defog away and then I set up spikes again. Then you go for brave bird, but I switch to CB Terrakion for example. So you have spikes on your field and Terrakion can threaten Mandibuzz out. Predictions can go both ways...
  16. Pokémon Chesnaught (Revamp Occurring)

    I'm asking you once again! How are Ferrothorn and Forretress not Defog bait as well? Give me one solid reason.
  17. Pokémon Chesnaught (Revamp Occurring)

    Can you please read, I said it wasn't a 2HKO: My point is that Mandibuzz doesn't threaten Chesnaught.
  18. Pokémon Chesnaught (Revamp Occurring)

    You seem to forget something about Mandibuzz without Brave Bird (They mainly carry Taunt Roost Defog and Foul Play/Knock off) and Roost. It looses it's flying typing (i.e. it's pure dark) Chesnaught has hammer arm. Since you love to make claims without any damage calculations let me show you: 0...
  19. Pokémon Chesnaught (Revamp Occurring)

    0 Atk Mandibuzz Knock Off vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Chesnaught: 23-27 (6 - 7.1%) This is harmful? Neither Chesnaught, Foretress nor Ferrothorn will ever stay in on Mandibuzz, so again it's not something exclusive to Chesnaught. If a Defog user doesn't have taunt, it is completely useless against...
  20. Pokémon Chesnaught (Revamp Occurring)

    Lets see, well since Aegislash and Gengar are at the top of the usage, Rapid Spinner this Gen need Earthquake. So Donphan comes to mind, which obviously cannot beat Chesnaught one-on-one and spinning spikes away will just make Chesnaught set them up again on the switch. Also, Defog users always...
