Can we please cool it with the intentional garbage mons?

Yeah, this. Please don't post if your Pokemon is not serious. I don't care if it is an OU mon or an NU mon, so long as what you post is serious. Niche sets are fine. Bad sets are not.

[Swede]

Keep in mind that Wacan Berry would activate and have Manaphy survive the initial hit, so it is not a OHKO but rather a 2HKO. Doesn't matter since Plasmanta would outspeed.
