Completely unimportant and probably weird question, but what does PU stand for?

Partially used tier.
Nothing straight off outclasses it, the reason for it being UU is bc it have flaws that prevent it from doing its job continuously, its lack of reliable recovery prevents it from checking talonflame more than a couple of times... so yeah, nothing ^^
I agree
Swampert is good with setter and has good offensive moves it outclasses every other water and ground types with mega swampert coming with swift swim it shall be great in water team having increase stats in attack
its not gonna have 20 base speed at max with its mega >:]
As I have attempted to learn more about HO and building teams for it I found mostly old and often conflicting articles and forum posts from people about what to do and not to do.
What I would like to know, from people much more seasoned and current than I, what is the current state of HO? What are some good mons to use? Are there certain core or leads that do particularly well? What are things we should know about current gen HO tactics and team building? What advice or tips would u give a new HO player?

you could check out the RMT forum, theres a lot of great teams, many of them HO ^^ i really think thats the best way of learning it
No, he won't, and he'll also be able to switch moves again.
It's the same as knocking off leftovers, which will cause a pokemon to lose the passive recovery; if an item is knocked off, its effect doesn't apply anymore.
However, using trick with choice items allows you to retain the boost and switch moves. I'm pretty sure that choice items are treated differently compared to something like lefties.
HELLO!!!
hey rimsakov you new 2?
...anyone here?
No, they aren't, if you trick away your specs you lose the power boost. Would be nice if you kept it :p It isn't as visible in battle as losing lefties, but if you lose your specs in any way whatsoever, you lose its effect as well.
so true
this is the forum: https://www.smogon.com/forums/forums/xy-ou-teams.261/
and some nice offensive and hyper offensive teams:
this team is build around mpinsir, also featuring a sand offence core: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threa...the-ladder-u-fgts.3507315/page-2#post-5633622
this one is around mega zard Y, used by valentine in SPL: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/force-of-nature-an-in-depth-guide-to-zard-y.3501476/
this one is a hyper offensive team bý jirachee, this team i believe is properly the easiest to use for a not as experienced player (sorry if i assume wrong here) bc of no choiced pokes, as well as no crippling sr weakness: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/jiraite.3512328/
stealth rocks-are best ..rapid spin i hate....
Do you have a question to ask here? This isn't the general social/introduction thread; this is more like that.
Edit: Oh, and welcome to smogon.
Thank you. Ive looked through these boards tho and ive even posted in multiple others. I appreciate you all trying to help but I dont really want to use a bunch of other peoples teams. And in fact, the teams you listed here besides the last one arent even really HO teams. I was more interested in learning how to build and play teams, not how to build and play a specific team someone else uses.
