Not that useful, you're a LOT better off just running Aura Sphere and ditching Gravity altogether. With Focus Blast, you NEED to have Blissey go first, otherwise you start playing a very risky game. Since you can't guarantee that Blissey (or any Gravitymon, for that matter) will be sent out, set up Gravity, and be able to switch into Lucario to set up, you just end up risking your sweep with Focus Blast's lovely accuracy. Don't bother.

Physically defensive Sylveon basically hard counters Garchomp (no one uses Iron Head on it). Togekiss counters any Garchomp without Stone Edge. Azumarill can check Garchomp, but cannot switch into Earthquake. CB Talonflame can revenge kill any Garchomp. If you can switch Ferrothorn into Dragon Claw, then pivot out to some other bulky mon, you can get 12.5% damage on it for free. Deoxys-D can Dual Screen in front of it. Rotom-W can Will-O-Wisp it and is immune to Earthquake, but gets hit hard by Outrage.
Ferrothorn@Leftovers
EVs: 252 HP / 48 Def / 208 SpD
Nature: Relaxed
IVs: 0 Spe
That was the standard from last gen and is still standard this gen.
What does Jolly Mega Charizard X outrun compared to Adamant Mega Charizard X? On the flipside, considering a set using Dragon Claw and Flare Blitz, what does Adamant Mega Charizard X OHKO that Jolly Mega Charizard X doesn't?
Adamant. 97 base Speed means that, even at +1, you'll get outsped by base 100 scarfers and, notably, scarf-Genesect. I believe it's better to just maximize your offensive output.
Jolly Zard, at +1, outspeeds scarf-Genesect and anything scarfed that sits below the 100 base Spe benchmark (Hydreigon, Kyurem, Haxorus etc.). You also speed tie with scarf-Jirachi and the rare scarf-Salamence. With dragon claw you'll fail to OHKO most defensive waters like Rotom-W and can't 2hko Slowbro.
The only useful one I can think of would be fire, to ohko Scizor and Genesect on the switch.
How is Infernape utilized in today's OU?
What's the common EV spread for a ToxiStall Gliscor?
Its either 244 HP / 252 Def / 12 Spe or 244 HP / 40 Def / 224 Spe both run an Impish nature. I would recommend the more defensive one.
248 HP / 244 Def / 16 Spe is the best Tentacruel spread, because it already has a pretty high SDef so putting more EVs into it won't gain you as much as investing in the much lower physical defense so you are able to abuse Tentacruels fighting resitance.
I'm having a hell of a time finding a regenerator slowpoke in horde mode, I'm just wondering if I might be doing something wrong, or if the chances of encountering a HA 'mon in horde are that low. I have only been checking females, since I'm trying to get a HA one into a heal ball, and I don't want to waste the PP of Role Play.
rotom grass and gastrodon
Just keep going at it, i dont know how high or low the chances are but you should be able to find one relatively easy. I suggest using Venusaur as it can learn both Worry Seed to check the target's ability and Sweet Scent to activate horde battles.
Tanks are generally there to take a hit and set-up/support/reteliate with little damage. Bulky offensive Pokemon are there to take a hit and hit back, hard. That's basically the difference. Bulky Pokemon are just Pokemon that are slow(most of the time), hit hard and are able to take quite a few hits unlike most sweepers that are usually frail. Examples of this are Slowkingbro, Tyranitar, Scizor, landorus-t, Reuniclus etc.
LO attacker, Lead or Choice Band/Scarf. It can also use SD but i'm not so sure how viable that is, same goes to Nasty Plot.
Ground Immunity and quad fighting resistance?
Because you like Mega-Pinsir, and hate using something that might possibly be banned?
Of course, not the "only" way, Stealth Rock has been a TM and Tutor move. However, it is likely the easiest way, until bank comes out. In fact, most of my breeding projects in the field group simply end with division by Smeargle.
is there any way to get different pokeballs bred onto fossil pokemon? Is there a better place to ask game mechanic questions like this?
My understanding of the VGC rules is that it specifies that all Pokemon must be both Kalos-born (blue pentagon, I believe) AND have an entry in one of the three Kalos regional Pokedexes. So if it doesn't have a Kalos dex number I don't think it's legal.
I can be wrong sometimes.
