Slash Bonemerang out with Earthquake, and slash Knock Off out with Taunt, and Roost with Toxic. The utility these things provide are quite good.I've found Gliscor to be pretty good. Its Toxic Orb prevents it from being statused by Heatran's Searing Shot or Sabelye's Dark Void. It gets Taunt to screw with defensive teams and Defog.
Gliscor deals with Tyranitar and Heatran, but I haven't really seen Lando-I yet tbh. I guess Aqua Jet / Ice Shard spam deals with that tho.
https://www.replay.pokemonshowdown.com/stabmons-171776234 Oml the genericness is real ;-;
Set I've been using:
Cancer (Gliscor) @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 HP / 168 Def / 88 Spe
Bold Nature
- Defog
- Earthquake
- Toxic
- Taunt
The name was from FairyTail cuz snip snip and its constantly sick from dem Toxics
88 speed is to outspeed Jolly T-tar and prevent it from setting up while speed creeping other Gliscors. The rest is dumped into HP and Def.
Earthquake threatens out Heatran, Toxic is to put stuff on a timer, and Taunt prevents Lando-T from Defogging.
Sounds good, I'll try them out myself later if I can get on.Slash Bonemerang out with Earthquake, and slash Knock Off out with Taunt, and Roost with Toxic. The utility these things provide are quite good.
EDIT: Also Google Chrome gives me an error with replay servers now
I beat the same guy maybe!Sounds good, I'll try them out myself later if I can get on.
The replay was a guy running Mega T-tar, Diggers, Espeon, BD Azumarill, Sableye and Heatran. I was surprised that I managed to be him x.x
Well I now know what I'm replacing Crawdaunt withSo I'm at 1227 right now, currently on an 8 game win streak, almost solely due to one pokemon:
This is the set I've been using in conjunction with sticky web forretress (I haven't seen this particular set...):
Kabutops @ Life Orb
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Diamond Storm
- Substitute
- Crabhammer
- Swords Dance
After a swords dance, Kabutops pretty much ohkos the whole tier, and after 1 defense boost, you can tank almost any priority move, including diggersby's fake out + espeed, Kyurem-B's Ice shard, and Azumarill's water shuriken. Diamond Storm and Crabhammer are so easy to spam, it's almost ridiculous (although their accuracy is shaky)
The great part about this kabutops is that it gets substitute to set up all over stall mons and helps predicts switches. Kabutops is also immune to prankster topsy-turvy, will-o-wisp, and dark void, which is really great.
Sadly, I don't have any replays, but I would like to mention that it singlehandedly swept a double bunny core + sableye + kyube team.

I can see this meta being stuck inbetween like that hahaugh stall is impossible I'm gonna resort to HO ;-;
It's funny because I can't really play anything other than full stall and hyper offense. Stuck to two extremes I guess :P
Tell us why. There aren't enough stall options in the 54? They can't compete with regular stall options?ugh stall is impossible I'm gonna resort to HO ;-;

Stall is hard enough in STABmons as it is, with such a limited pool of subpar pokemon it's extremely difficult to get a functioning team. There are two main problems here. There is no real way to deal with setup sweepers besides revenge killing, and it's impossible to cover all the threats (even all the viable threats, ignoring some of the more niche / gimmicky ones)Tell us why.

How about Rotom-H?Thundurus checks
I'm struggling to find any. Anything that can handle a special set dies to the physical sets or sets with Taunt. Weirdly, Luxray is the closest I can think of
I can see that working as a counter hahaHow about Rotom-H?
Just make sure it's not Intimidate Luxray!Thundurus checks

any fire typeAny ideas for Scizor checks?
Intimidate Arcanine fears little from Scizor. Rotom-Heat works too. Cobalion could work in a pinch, but Superpower will put in a nice dent and Cobalion won't be doing much back, especially against a set with Roost.Any ideas for Scizor checks?
Personally, I use it more like Diggersby with just Fake Out + ESpeed. The one slot I keep switching out is CC/Milk Drink. While you may mock me for this, if you can force something out and use Milk Drink, you can significantly lengthen your timer, so you can keep using it. Then again, wish support makes this unnecessary, but I don't have any on my team soI've been finding Regigigas much more useful in a support role, wish passing, spreading/healing status and clearing hazards. It's almost reminiscent of Chansey.
For an offensive Normal type, I much prefer Zangoose. The residual damage is tough, but it is able to abuse a ridiculously strong facade. It also outspeeds Diggersby, so can beat its Espeed. Still gets nailed by fake out though. Sableye can't touch it if it hasn't set up, and it even has knock off to deal with the ghost switchins.
