Would a physical Defiant Empoleon set be viable this Gen, or would I be better off running Torrent with special attacks?
Planned Defiant:
Empoleon @Leftovers/Life Orb/Choice Band
252 Atk, 252HP, 4Sp.Def
-Waterfall
-Swords Dance/Drill Peck/Aqua Jet
-EQ
-Rock Side/Drill Peck

The overwhelming majority of Smogon disagrees with you. Lugia & Giratina can't even wall Mega Khan, and what does that say about things like Gliscor, Skarmory, and Ferrothorn? It was/is "broken as all shit" and desperately needed to GTFO of OU.Why exactly did Mega Kangaskhan get banned? Sure, it required some prediction and could rip through teams with a few attack boosts, but unless I'm missing something it was far from uncounterable. Priority status isn't exactly uncommon as far as I can tell, and a burned Mega Kangaskhan is hardly as much of a threat, and a paralyzed or poisoned one isn't much better. Barring that, defensive ghost types like Spiritomb should've given it a lot of trouble, especially after it mega'd and lost Scrappy.
Anyone have an opinion to which is better? Assault Vest Conkeldurr? or Eviolite Gurdurr? Thanks.

With the popularizing of healing wish and the like, even statusing are not exactly sufficient
...I am admittedly extremely new here, but I'm fairly certain that if you let Mega Kangaskhan get enough boosts that Lugia or Giratina couldn't wall it, then it's your own fault if you get swept. I'm not denying that Mega Kangaskhan is really good, especially with Power-up Punch, but like I mentioned, status should be a killer for it. Gliscor, Skarm, and Ferrothorn might be great physical walls, but Gliscor doesn't usually carry status, and Skarm and Ferrothorn are weak to Power-up Punch, which means, yes, they're not suited for dealing with Mega Kangaskhan. But what about Sableye with priority WoW? Or Resttalk Spiritomb with WoW? Or pretty much anything with WoW? Even the likes of SubDisable Gengar should also be fairly effective.
Healing Wish is getting popular? What even runs that in OU, Cresselia?
For a choice banded tyranitar with perfect ivs, and max atk eva, what important ohkos am i missing if i replace superpower with brick break. And what pokemon in ou with 0 speed ivs are slower than a tyranitar with max speed ivs and no speed evs and brave nature. I ask because i cant find a pokemon to breed with it that has 0 speed so just assume it will have max ivs.i need payback. Also, will using rock slide instead of stone edge be good? I hate the accuracy.

What would be a good sixth pokemon for a team consisting of Mawile (Swords Dance/Play Rough/Sucker Punch/Attack), Mandibuzz (Defog/Roost/Foul Play/Knock Off), Gastrodon (Stockpile/Recover/Toxic/Scald), Gourgeist (WoW/Leech Seed/Phantom Force/Filler), and Rotom-Heat (haven't decided yet)? I was thinking of a cleric, a phazer, or maybe something with U-Turn and/or Stealth Rock, but something like a good Landorous would be too difficult for me to obtain (which is why I am using Rotom-Heat instead of Heatran).
And just to clarify, good legendaries are difficult for me to acquire, but most everything else is fair game.
Also, any basic suggestions for the team? I pretty much want to try and make it as complete as I can before posting a RMT. Please and thank you.
what am i outspeeding with tyranitar though? Is there anything important i should outspeed? Also, reason being is that my friend has a talonflame with max hp evs,and crunch doesnt ohko it. And i hate worrying about the accuracy of stone edgeWhy Payback on Tyranitar? If it was me I'd actually run speed EVs on tyranitar to creep certain things. And use Crunch, you don't lose a lot of power but it's much better IMO.

I'm thinking of getting a new tyranitar with adament nature with choice band and crunch. What speed evs should i use to outspeed things without losing too much bulk?Outrunning opposite Tyranitars, Azumarill, Aegislash (although it'll likely just use king's shield, still), and Skarmory is pretty relevant IMO. Especially since you hit Azu hard with Stone Edge (81% minimum if it's 252 HP), 2HKO Skarm, and have a 3/4 chance of OHKOing 252 HP Shield Aegishas.
As for Talonflame:
252+ Atk Choice Band Tyranitar Crunch vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Talonflame: 292-345 (81.1 - 95.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after sandstorm damage
Eh, I wouldn't really say maximum HP Talon is -that- common, but IDK. It's still a lot of damage, though. It gets worn out if it the sand stayed long enough with Talon in the field, and it would die from recoil next time it plans on using BB/Flare Blitz unless it Roosts off. I don't like the idea of running Payback especially for Talon, but it could work.
You could try outrunning Skarmory; you can hammer at it with CB Stone Edge before it Roosts to resist it.I'm thinking of getting a new tyranitar with adament nature with choice band and crunch. What speed evs should i use to outspeed things without losing too much bulk?
At risk of sounding stupid, is there any real reason why I need to have pokemon with the gen 6 pentagon?
What difference does it actually make?
