Chandelure

Furthering the possibility of a greater amount of snorlax's to combat the influx of Fire/Sp.Atk Sweepers. Even Ulgamoth is decently countered. The set I've had the most luck with is a bit unconventional.

Snorlax@Chesto
Careful/Calm(Whatever that keeps attack, not with DS at the moment)
188HP/216SPDEF/104DEF
Curse
Rest
Crunch/Pursuit
Return

Its a basic setup and heal, only walled by steels.

Anyway,with the whole Roob thing taken too seriously,Snorlax is super uncommon now.
Not saying Shandera is guaranteed to beat him,but it's possible.

Take a look at my own Shandera set.
Assuming I have Sun up and got the Flash Fire boost,I can 2HKO Snorlax,even with the Resist:
426 Atk vs 341 Def & 508 HP (120 Base Power): 233 - 275 (45.87% - 54.13%)

That's with the LO btw.
How much would Snorlax's Pursuit do with that set?
256 Atk vs 215 Def & 262 HP (40 Base Power): 70 - 84 (26.72% - 32.06%)

How about Crunch?
256 Atk vs 215 Def & 262 HP (80 Base Power): 138 - 164 (52.67% - 62.60%)

Ehhh,that's not a OHKO,even with the LO recoil from Nitro charge if you switched in on it.
Actually,it won't even OHKO with Stealth Rock,heck,it can't even OHKO a Shandera that switched out.

You either need to invest more in Attack,set up a layer of spikes,do a tiny bit of prior damage,or not let it get the FF boost.
Without the boost,Shandera deals around:
426 Atk vs 341 Def & 508 HP (120 Base Power): 156 - 183 (30.71% - 36.02%)
So ya,DO NOT let Shandera get that boost.

It can 2HKO T-tar(assuming you have sun up by sacrificing your Tales):
426 Atk vs 328 Def & 404 HP (120 Base Power): 243 - 286 (60.15% - 70.79%)

Or you can just OHKO with HP Fighting >.>
426 Atk vs 328 Def & 404 HP (70 Base Power): 340 - 404 (84.16% - 100.00%)

Shandera is a serious powerhouse and should not be underestimated.
It's a bit of a glass cannon,but it can take unboosted neutral hits well and can take weaker SE hits too,especially Water in the sun.

I still prefer fast things to kill a Shandera.
Them boosted Fire Blasts are INSANE.
Bulky waters don't stand much of a chance in the sun what with Max Sp.Def Vaporeon being 2HKO'd and Blissey also being 2HKO'd.
 
Well, I think at that point, you're better off trying to stop the Sun, since there's likely going to be Solar Power Charizard and whatnot coming your way too.
 
Yeah, the whole Sun+FF is very possible but also very predictable. The Calc's prove to be scary, showing that Shandera is quite scary of a Pokemon. Although it's biggest weakness is its lack of speed, which is rather lackluster.
 
I read about it before, with the Encore it's pretty impressive.
But a question, what would this set have against a Trace Porygon2?


That's one of the counters xD
If you get the FF boost,a few things can still stop you:
-Ditto
Copying your ability makes your Shandera useless D:
-Trace Poryygon2
Same thing.
-Tyranitar/Hippowdon/Politoed/Abomasnow
Not just because they can do serious damage,but they change your precious weather D:
-Skymin
You need TWO speed boosts to out speed...he only out speeds by a trollish point.
-Heatran
Absorbs your Nitro Charge and can easily OHKO back,while your HP Fighting deals around 50% D:
-Scarfers with more than 80 Base Speed or +Speed nature

Kinda why I use this more for late game.
I love when they stay in after the Encore....Erufuun is just so damn annoying xD
I also love to scare them with the calcs.
It is pretty scary though. An OU mon capable of out damaging Kyogre? Epic.
 
I've been trying to find a Shandera set that doesn't require as much support as my other set,and I came up with this:

Heaven or Hell

609.gif

Timid
34 HP/140 Def/100 Sp.Attack/236 Speed
Flash Fire
-Shadow Ball
-HP Fighting
-Calm Mind
-Nitro Charge

The EVs are sorta just there,except for Speed,which is put just perfectly to always out speed Heatran(which always gives trouble),while the rest of the EVs are to just help a bit in bulk.(If you have suggestions,please tell me,as I'm not sure what to run in HP and Def)
The idea is to force a switch and hit the switch in with a Nitro Charge and use a CM to help survive the hit and to sweep.(If Heatran switches in,start using CMs,once you reach +2 Sp.Def,he can only deal around 35% and you'll most likely scare him off)
Sounds horrible on paper,but after a few battles and a little playing with the EVs,it could be viable.
I'd like it if some of you would test it out too :P

Here's a battle I had with a friend:

Ok,his team was bad(he even admitted it :P) and he did some misplays,but this is just to show how it would work.

Anyone else wanna try this out?
 
>Hahakomori not carrying Shadow Claw

Even after seeing that log, I'm a little worried about trying to double boost with shandera. Well, I get worried about trying to double boost with any pokemon who doesn't have a reliable recovery or admirable bulk. I'll give that set a shot anyway. May play around with it and try to do a nitro charge/pain split gig...
 
Like I said,his team was bad,but I've done it a few times without too much trouble.
As long as Shandera can OHKO anything that has strong SE STAB attack,you should be okay.
Like I said,I just need to play around with the EVs.
 
Nitrochandera works amazing for the battle subway, if someone cares. I'm using 252special attack / 252 speed / 6 defense with a Focus Sash. Nitro Charge / Energy Ball / Heat Wave / Shadow Ball. Literally everything that's not a hardcore special wall is 2KO'd.
 
Fixed the set a bit:

609.gif

Shandera @ Leftovers/Balloon
Timid - Flash Fire
252 Sp.Def/252 Speed/4 HP or 4 Sp.Attack
-Shadow Ball
-HP Fighting
-Calm Mind
-Nitro Charge

Going for something to set up on special attackers.
Preferably something without a SE STAB move,like say Heatran for example.

He then left....apparently his Heatran didn't have Earth Power.

It didn't matter much that he didn't have Earth Power,this can 2HKO Heatran 100% of the time with HP Fighting at +1 assuming the standard sets.
At +1,you reach 487 Sp.Attack which is good enough to OHKO quite a few things.
At +2,you will always 2HKO CroCune while he can barely 3HKO.
I haven't been able to use it much though,mostly because every time I set up,I either get hit by a critical hit or I never get a chance to set up what will all the rain and sand teams.
Try it out and tell me what you guys think x_x
 
I've been trying to find a Shandera set that doesn't require as much support as my other set,and I came up with this:

Heaven or Hell

34 HP/140 Def/100 Sp.Attack/236 Speed

Kefka Palazzo[TEST] won the battle!

Ok,his team was bad(he even admitted it :P) and he did some misplays,but this is just to show how it would work.

Anyone else wanna try this out?
Why the hell do you have Def EVs? It won't be taking crap. This just seems really bad, as it isn't fast, isn't bulky, and has very weak coverage, as well as no way to hit something like Evo chansey before it can T-wave you

Didn't you even read my post with the fixed up EVs? O.o
Just need to play around a bit more with the EVs

EDIT: Why would you send a Special Attacker against something like Chansey/Blissey in the first place?
 
Wouldn't Evo-Stone Chansey be like the perfect set-up fodder? I prefer Substitute over Nitro Charge for being able to set-up on such walls. Just like Nitro Charge, having the substitute up also protects you from the subsequent revenge-kill (most notably by Ditto). Of course Nitro Charge is beastly, too, since after multiple speed boosts, only Aqua Jet and somewhat Sucker Punch (or Ditto, but you probably wouldn't set-up if Ditto is around) would be an issue, which are very few options.

It's more meant for Standard play,where Ditto is non-existent.
You COULD use Substitute,but Shandera is too slow for a SubCM set.
I wish Shandera had 5 move slots,just to use this:
-Shadow Ball
-HP Fighting
-Sub
-CM
-Nitro Charge

Seriously,the set I posted earlier only has 3 problems:
1.Weather teams
2.STATUS
3.Critical hits(Which is pretty much the biggest reason why I've been unable to test it much,I'm horribly unlucky)

You could go Mono-attack,but that's just asking for a wall to show up and sponge hits all day.

EDIT: I think CB Azumarill is the only mon that can OHKO Shandera with Aqua Jet with no set up.

Maybe because you've started setting up and they SWITCH IN! OMG! What's that!?! Switching? Also, it is outclassed by nearly any special set up sweeper, and Flash Fire does absolutely nothing for it
