I guess Static is an improvement on the Defog set, but the SubToxic set still wants to run pressure to stall out low PP moves like Stone Edge and gyro ball.
Lol yeah I forgot about Mega Medi/mega Gallade, but yeah they both take over 40% from Close Combat
Rain is a viable playstyle. There should be a thread about rain iirc.
Yeah, rain is viable (as shown by Politoed and Kingdra's placement in B+), but Torn-T being high isn't really due to rain – most teams on which Tornadus-T finds itself don't feature rain. That's why the #1 complaint w/ Torn-T is always Hurrimiss.
Ya that got closed when the mods decided that playstyle discussion belonged in the metagame discussion thread.
I think I might have some favortism towards Mamoswine as he is one of my favorite mons. But he is able to destroy the Lando-T and Garchomps with it's stab x4 super effectivness. Also Ice is the strongest offensive type. It is able to 1v1 each electric type due to it's ground typing except maybe Rotom-W (unless you have freeze-dry). He has priority to function as a revenge killer. His total type super effective coverage consists of Ground, Flying, Grass, Dragon, Electric, Steel, Fire, Poison, Rock. His dual STAB is really difficult to switch into. Ice type is really strong considering 2 of the most used rockers are 4x weak to it. Hazards are pretty important in the OU Metagame. Mamoswine makes it difficult for rockers to function if used correctly.
Smack Down Lando-t. That's a solid anti-meta mon since people use Rotom and Skarm for their ground immunities. Many megas are underrated too. Pinsir.
I'm not sure what other people consider anti meta, but i think Breloom is a pretty good example. Sand is getting really popular since it's so easy to use, and Breloom is one of the best sand checks in OU, being able to OHKO Excadril with Fist Plate/LO Mach Punch. He also beats both sand setters (he sets up on Hippo and Ttar lacking ice beam/fire blast without having to use Spore.) Another cool thing about Breloom is he's a non ice type physical attacker who can break through Lando and Chomp. Bullet Seed doesn't make contact, so he doesn't have to worry about Chomp's rough skin either. Also Spore is a really good fucking move.
No I am sorry. While this might seem like a good idea, it is simply.... not. The first team being the signature bloody sunday team which has so many teambuilding deficiencies would not prove to be a good resource to newer players starting on the ladder.
Cm Latios is a great braker. It's a glue mon that easily fits on most teams. Let's say, balance that lacks offensive pressure. I'd suggest looking in the forums for a team.
you could always ask for one in teambuilding ws
The Sylveon set was removed because its advantages over Clefable's cleric set are too small. A small advantage it had – the fact that it could take two Earth Powers from Landorus – lost relevance when Lando started running Sludge Wave, and soon after when it was banned. Sylveon is just 90% of the time better off running a specs set; it should leave the role of a defensive mono-Fairy to Clefable (who can run Magic Guard or Unaware as abilities and T-Wave, Fire Blast, Encore, Ice Beam, etc as moves).
BoltBeam/dual STAB+Roost+T-wave
Basically what gamer boy said, but Reflect Type is also another option, allowing it to take on dark types such as Bisharp and Tyranitar and more better.
that's fine as a set if you want to run conk, but conkeldurr, is generally not the best mon to use.
As far as I know, that's a really solid balance breaker which fits on offense. Set would be max atk/spe w drain p/ pjab/ice punch and a filler thunder punch/knock. That thing shreds bulkier builds.
