Gastrodon is great for combating rain, just watch out for things like hp grass and toxic.What is a good anti-weather Pokemon in OU? I wanna keep it weatherless :)
Skill Swap on Deo D might work for you.On Hyper Offense teams how do I deal with magic bounce pokemon? Do I switch to a pokemon to beat it or what? I'm new to Hyper Offense so I'm not familiar to the ways to play them.
As Blankzero said, skill swap is a move that will "swap" the ability of the user with the target (pressure with magic bounce) allowing your Deo-d to set up hazards while your opponent tries to switch to something else. Also, it does work with other things such as Jirachi (not letting him to abuse serene grace).On Hyper Offense teams how do I deal with magic bounce pokemon?

Well, first lets check the maximum speed reached by hera with both natures.What threats wont I be outspeeding or be able to OHKO if I choose to use Adamant Scarf Heracross over Jolly Scarf Heracross?
Well, first lets check the maximum speed reached by hera with both natures.
Choice Scarf Adamant Heracross, 252 speed evs: 403 speed
Choice Scarf Jolly Heracross, 252 speed evs: 442 speed
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, if you decide to run the Adamant variant, you wont be able to outspeed adamant choice scarf Darmanitan neither choice scarf Krookodile. Also, scarf timid Chandelure would be able to outspeed you.
Basically, a jolly nature is prefered because it will let you outspeed and KILL this pokes not mattering if you are not running adamant. Otherwise, the extra power that the adamant has is not going to work against the pokes named above.
Another good reason for running jolly is that moxie will compensate the little loss in atk in comparison with adamant.
Oh sorry, i thought that you were talking about UU because Hera is UU. I'll try to compare with other common Ou scarfers.BlackRussian said:PS: I'm using Moxie Heracross on my OU team. You only mentioned UU pokes though.
It's no big deal I should have specified as well. Thanks that helped a lotOh sorry, i thought that you were talking about UU because Hera is UU.
If you can make room for it on your team, Weavile can outspeed and Pursuit-trap every Magic Bouncer. He also comes with the added benefit of revenge killing threats like Dragon-types and Tornadus-T. He's frail, weak to Stealth Rock and has to rely on relatively weak STABs (Night Slash, Ice Punch and Ice Shard), but he can take care of Magic Bouncers if you don't want your Deoxys-D to use Skill Swap.On Hyper Offense teams how do I deal with magic bounce pokemon?

STAB does not raise the Base Power of a move, it just sets the STAB multiplier of the damage formula to 1.5 (that roughly has the same effect of raising the BP by 50%). Furthermore, Technician only raises the BP of the move by 50% if it's less or equal than 60. So a Bug Bite from a Technician Scizor is a STAB base 90 BP Bug move, which is roughly equivalent to a baseI have a question about Scizor.
Scizor uses Bug Bite, with Technican the power of 60 base are doubled. Scizor is a Bug Type so the 120 gains doubled because the Stab or is the Stab first an raises the Power to 120 and technican isn't affectet because the power is 120 and not 60 anymore.
Well there aren't too many more Swords Dancers in OU (at least that are viable), however there are a couple that could do pretty good on a SD team. One in particular is a SD Ferrothorn. Although it may sound like a gimmick, once it sets up it's quite dangerous with STAB Gyro Balls, Power Whips, and Bulldozes. It's also one of the few SD users that has high bulk and only two weaknesses, so Ferrothorn can find it quite easy to set up. Another one you could use is a SD Toxicroak. Toxicroak is a great Rain Check, and he'll find it very easy to set up against Rain teams once Tornadus-T is gone. Toxicroak has priority in Sucker Punch, so there's another priority user for you. Last but not least you can always use Sub SD Terrakion, one of the most fearsome Dancers in OU, OR you could use its Double Dancer set with Rock Polish and SD.What are some good SDers (Swords Dancers) in OU? Preferably with a priority move. I'm trying to make a team around them and right now I have SD Technician Breloom and Scizor with Lucario. There's also Wobbuffet for encore, and an SR setter I haven't decided. Probably Deo-D.
Aqua Jet Feraligatr? Just joking, nevermind. What about SD Garchomp as a wallbreaker? It doesn't have any priority though.
Feraligatr is actually decentish. If you're providing Rain Dance support maybe Kabutops might work. SD Chomp is great as well. Other SDers include Terrakion and Landorus-I/T. Don't worry, you have plenty of Pokemon to choose from. I'm not so sure about the whole team concept, but hey, go for it!Salamence97 said:What are some good SDers (Swords Dancers) in OU?
