BLOOD TOTEM
braine damaged
A couple of things that haven't got a mention that really deserve more in my opinion.
Sticky Web
I'd never really use it in OU but here in STABmons, it seems like a really viable option. A lot of the strongest offensive threats tend to revolve around a shell smash sweep and so, with sticky web, they become much easier to deal with. After a SS boost the opposing Pokemon will only reach +1 speed and that is really significant as it means that a Choice Scarf user with decent speed can switch in and KO the opponent. The best example of this I can thing of off the top of my head is something like a standard scarf Terrakion who has the benefit of resisting Normal-type priority moves, though I'm sure something can better fit the role.
Charizard Mega Y
159 Spa, Drought, Access to a 130 base power special STAB boosted by said Drought. Zard is going HAM on anything and everything.
252 SpA Mega Charizard Y Blue Flare vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Rotom-W in Sun: 175-207 (57.5 - 68%)
Just an example of Zard plowing through a 'resist'. No boosting moves is a shame but access to Aeroblast or Oblivion Wing is nice to give Charizard a better flying STAB.
A set I'm interested is Shift Gear Mega Mawile, looks pretty fun.
Mawile @ Mawilite
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: ?
Adamant Nature
- Shift Gear
- Gear Grind
- Play Rough
- King's Shield
The general idea is to use Kings Shield to force a switch to give time to set up a boost with Shift Gear.It's a work in progress but it might become something cool eventually.
