- prob BO is best playstyle, Balance second
) to hit what's meta rn. Obviously they have the non-negligible advantage of Resisting both Sucker Punch, Pursuit, Koff and U-turn most of the time, almost always having either SD or Bulk Up to boost their damage output as well as an existing bulk that serves them well. For example, Lele Moonblast cannot manage to OHKO Iron hands or Heracross-mega from full if they invest in HP. But what Fighting types exactly am I talking about? here:
Mega Gallade (Poison Jab, Earthquake, stone edge, Triple axel, Close Combat, Drain Punch, Zen Headbutt, Shadow Sneak, Knock Off, Fire Punch, Aqua Cutter, Leaf Blade)
Buzzwole (Poison Jab, Close Combat, Lunge, Leech Life, Drain Punch, Darkest Lariat, Earthquake, Outrage, High Horsepower, Stone edge, Ice Punch, Dual Wingbeat)
Mega Heracross (Close Combat, Pin Missile, Rock blast, Earthquake, High Horsepower, Knock Off, Bullet Seed, Trailblaze)
Iron Hands (Drain Punch, Close Combat, Ice Punch, Wild Charge, Supercell Slam, Heavy Slam, Earthquake, Play Rough, Iron Head, Rock Slide)
fits in this category as well (Ice Fang, Close Combat, Heavy Slam, Crunch, Stone Edge, Wild Charge)
, the arrival of status spreaders Dragapult
and Gholdengo
, and the absolute domination of Hazards, when our best spinners
do not have Recovery, I think good Old Florges 
Might Have a Niche as an Aromatherapier. Florges can, thanks to its Ho-oh level Special Defense, Switch into stuff. it also Packs 112 Spa STAB MoonBlasts, Wish, Defog, Magic Coat, Toxic and Synthesis to make up for its total absence of Ability. Hatterene
also gets aromatherapy and I think it'd be neat to see what Paralysis Spreading + Aromatherapy can do on her. Clefable
sure gets Heal Bell n shi but it struggles Coming in on the absolute beasts that rule the tier rn, and has to pick between 2 excellent abilities, Suffers from Impossible levels of 4MSS, Imagine slotting in Heal Bell n Wish in there. Blissey
sure can switch in on all SPa Attackers and have a free turn but once Knocked it's Easily Pressured and forced to Soft Boiled instead of Serving the team. Serperior
can mix Florges and Hatt and Defog, aromatherapy and spread paralysis but it does not have enough bulk to pull that off efficiently. Weezing G
can Aromatherapy and Defog on Ghold but what does Defog on Ghol means when it forces you out all day everyday? Anyways I do think that if a Cleric Set pops up and is actually usable it can really bring something to the tier. What was the ev spreads for your
heracross as I am thinking of making a team with it 
needs Moonlight to stay healthy and obviously Moonblast for stab, so that leaves a single free slot which makes it very passive (also genuinely what does it even check at all). has middling longterm bulk making it a hard fit on slower teams and it also doesn't love the presence of the returning steels which abuse it well, plus it's super slow. might fit it if you run it on Balance, but Blissey is already horribly passive and with the nerf to recovery moves is pretty underwhelming defensively when it doesn't do enough upon hitting the field. too passive to be run most of the time and invites too many scary threats in. Florges is good for Raging Bolt & can work fine vs Kyurem too, tho that mon is kinda not in the best spot rn. Think it and sylveon might have some fringe use though finding it is harder here compared to OU since Toxic has more distribution.The problem with cleric support outside Stall is that it's very hard to find a pokemon that is both good, and can fit it in their moveset without compromising themselves. For example
I'd be down for someone finding a way to incorporate some kind of cleric support if possible but I struggle to see it.
lately and mon is kinda fire. I think I'll have to work out the kinks with it a bit more since coming up with more unique EV spreads for it can be hard, but mon basically compresses the utility of Gambit and Lando-T into one slot, with its typing + Intimidate giving it some decent MUs into a few common mons like Kingambit, Raging Bolt, and Gholdengo. Been trying Roseli Berry Rocks and its pretty good, but I think some other sets with AV or more mixed investment could be worth exploring to better trap its targets.There ye go, My set, You outspeed The Contact Birds, you May LIve a specs Draga after rocks, sometimes. and if some random shi happens -vough, tbolt para, cough- you have guts as a backup before megaWhat was the ev spreads for your
First off it's Synthesis, second off it checks Special pult, switches in on Rbolt, Special Ival or Ival in general, prolly wins duel vs Tinglu but I dunno for sure, 252 SpA Charizard-Mega-Y Weather Ball (100 BP Fire) vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Florges in Sun: 153-180 (42.5 - 50%) -- 0.4% chance to 2HKO, remember that Synth is 66% heal under the sun. Toxic Psychic noise wish n defog are nice options too as the last move. aromatherapy can also be used on lele if u wanna go for a set that abuses the free switches you can slot in Aromatherapy, tho florges does it better.
as a Counter to all sets. I am tired af of this dog, I want it gone. I like new Meta and all but Taking Glastrier from me to give this fucker dog in return is awful shit. it doesn't drop to terap. it doesn't drop to ghol. it doesn't even drop to Mega Medicham! I cannot put into words how much I hate this dog, how it brings absolutely nothing to the tier, how it single-handedly makes the tier a shitfest. it should never have been unbanned. No Meta with this fucker dog relevant has EVER been enjoyable, and it doesn't seem to be changing. this dog can js hax thru its checks, dodge a contact status out of sheer luck, def drop Pex Dengo and bro out of the blue to kill them, even BU Buzzwole loses on the long run because this dog rewards Luck more than skill. No it's not about my game against moisture where Regieleki would've killed but it was asleep -due to Red Card Luck but that's what the item is all about- it's about the ladder being the least attractive button on showdown ever since Zama was unbanned. Nothing personal against any Zama enjoyer, but this dog needs to go.
just load buzzwole broLet's talk about Zamazenta, too. I absolutely hate this dog. not only does it overshadow the othr fighters (cringe) it also is one of the MOST annoying Guess my set mons to deal with. absolutely toxic presence to the tier. Whatever the fuck your zama counter is, Zama will have a set at some point on ladder that will wreck it. Not only is that hyper toxic as a concept, it's even worse than Tera. You had to choose a Tera type that couldn't always help you to pick and choose who you can win against. The problem, with zama, is that it beats everything that is not a counter and can nuke its counter if so it wills. It's not even a "I live the Scarf lele Psychic now" it's a "I have sub. I can now have Crunch, stone edge, heavy slam, Psychic Fangs and Roar to fuck up any for of counter I want". There hasn't been enough tour games with this fucker dog to really judge what it does on the top lvels, but nothing forces more switches and can fuck up its counters with sheer luck and fish than this fucker dog. Nothing can run any set it wants and never be a deadweigh on any team better than this fucker dog. It actively contributes to the Deo S unban because then you can FINALLY Revenge kill it with soomething else than your scarfer or a bulky ahh mon, and that's if it doesn't tech Darkinium Z. So yea Zama makes the experience actively worse. you can't even use a phys attacker to smash it before it gets ID up, IT HAS A HUNDRED THIRTY EIGHT SPEED. because yea healthy presence of being a Dog better than Zydog for dog themed teams eek. Stab Body press on a Pokémon that gets free Def boost the first time it switches in? hell nah. you can arguably make a team without a completely dedicated BoltYard counter, but a Team that cannot take in account Ice fang psychic fangs crunch CC ID Howl Z Rock Z elec Z dark Wild Charge Stone Edge Bpress zamazenta gets axed within the first 3 mins of play. Healthy presence? skill check? fuck no. Mtoise wuz skill checking if your blissey could not get 2HKO'd by its aura sphere as much as Zama is skill checking if your ass can Handle a 120 attack perfect Coverage mon that has only Dory XXXL

Ngl I forgot we can run lefties on him as a viable thing as well since I mainly use rocky helmet for that sweet chip damage and boots if I can lol. Speaking off, is may people noticing that flynium-z has been used on lando-t lately or is it just me? (I'm on an alt rn in low ladder, almost reaching midpoint ladder but my ego cycle is affecting my mus again lol)
While I do feel like koko is really good right now, it does have pult as competition. While it isn’t weak to pursuit, it’s slower, and has less set variety. Pult also gets wisp and t-wave as well as your opponent not being able to as easily know the set.
Max Atk max speedWhat was the ev spreads for your
Have fun getting OHKO'd by Pult Dmeteor and raging bolt Proto
What I am sure you have to include is ZardY, if you want to click buttons just try it... Weather Ball 2HKO most of the metagame and when it doesn't you just can spam Solar Beam or Sorching Sands... I like to combine suns with Protosynthesis users such as Great Tusk, Raging Bolt...
, I think it is my favourite set at the moment...I used it on a sun team when gen 9 started and it was a ton of fun. Recently I’ve gotten surprised by banded Victini a couple of times. It’s great but having tusk for hazard control is a must. Granted you would already be using a sun team so you’d probably already have it on.
How exactly is this relevant to natdex
Scarf lando is alright but nothing too terribly specialBy the way what do you think of Scarf
What in the larp
Aeguslash is a mon I’ve been meaning to experiment with for a while. It seems really good on bulky balance especially with wish support.
In my opinion Deo-S is definitely not broken, even on PsySpam teams it still kinda feel like it's lacking a bit in power even if has a shitton of coverage and blazing speed. Most of the things I thought it could break it like Hazards-Setting and Screens are something already done better by other mons like Hamurott, Lando-T, M-Dia, Grimm or Koko and on the offensive side there's so much stuff more scarier than it even a +2 and how hard it is to get setup chances on for starts. It's a good mon but definitely something not broken.
