Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Voting's over. Take Azelfie wins with his Scarf Barbaracle! The other two winners are Littlelucario's HP Fly Rotom-C and fran17's Rindo Berry Slowking.
This is a fun set in my opinion. Magneton usually is a good Fletch check because it doesn't care of the burn and Acro does little damage. With this spread Fletchinder outspeeds and OHKOes with Overheat. This set can be used to weaken also the likes of Seismitoad (3HKO by HP Grass) and Diancie (2HKO by Steel Wing)
Spdef golbat normally equals kill for specs magnets. Not any more though. ;) With 188 speed you will outspeed magneton and heat wave will be a pretty easy 2HKO. (0 SpA Golbat Heat Wave vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Magneton: 128-152 (53.1 - 63%) -- guaranteed 2HKO) This still doesn't take away from too much of golbat's usefulness since you still have the taunt + roost combo and another move to help stallbreak.
Braviary (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Defiant
EVs: 252 HP / 80 SpD / 176 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Roost
- Bulk Up
- Brave Bird - Superpower
This braviary set lures magneton with superpower, naturally they expect it to be SUB BU but this one is BU with superpower. speed evs allow it to outspeed magneton by 2 points, hitting 264 while magneton hits 262. Nothing else really to say other than how braviary can lure it in and predict by going for a nice BU then click superpower to OHKO. 252 hp for some general bulk and 80 sp def as a dump in.
252+ SpA Togetic Fire Blast vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Magneton: 254-300 (105.3 - 124.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Still does okay as a Fighting- and Dark-type check and can function as a win condition. It also lures stuff like Escavalier and Venusaur so that's pretty neat.
