Are you asking how long it takes for the ladder to update? You can always use lower tier Pokemon in higher tiers.
That's not what I mean. Because I don't think you can use an Ubers mon in OU. Especially after its been banned from OU.
I see. Thanks.
I've used Celebi a bit and I think it's... okay at certain things. Now that Melmetal and Kyurem-B are gone I could see it being a bit better. Its main roles are being a Keldeo switch-in and counter, but it can also work decently against Dracovish since it can actually outspeed Adamant Band Dracovish with very little investment at all, letting you switch in on it then recover up. Thanks to reliable recovery and Natural Cure you can also just chuck it at Seismitoad, Toxapex, etc. over and over again with no repercussions really. Besides this, Celebi has a lot of weaknesses that limit its ability to actually check things, especially compared to Ferrothorn which is probably its main competition. I'd say Celebi is really mediocre in OU right now, even with those niches I mentioned.
I tried to make it work but sadly, it's not good. You use Celebi for a Rocks setter that checks Keldeo but you want Stealth Rock, Psychic (STAB), U-Turn (to maintain momentum), Recover, Thunder Wave (to punish switch-ins), and Healing Wish. Venusaur spamming Sun Weather Balls, Ghost spam and Dark spam means you don't really get much chance to switch-in. Even if you do, Celebi is quite passive. Maybe someone can find a niche for it but I can't.
Not to mention you also want Leech Seed
It really depends on the archetype but as of rn, Dugtrio can fit on almost any team due to how effective it is.
You can pass egg moves between parents in the day care now, so there are no illegalities between egg moves + past gen tutors in Smogon formats.
Defiant only procs when a stat is lowered by the foe. When you set Sticky Web and proceed to have it get switched to your side by Court Change, the game counts that as a self-inflicted stat drop.
Off the top of my head I can't really answer your question persay, but I'll PM you an offense team that works well and has LO zera.
Seeing as Corviknight is very popular and Dugtrio is an option (for now), probably Weather Ball.
unfortunately dugtrio is a major piece of sun so it might be hard to work it out w/o duggy ;-;
Yeah, I had a feeling something like that was coming. I'm somewhat bad with weather teams, and I'm trying to get better. Heard Venusaur was a god now, so I wanted to study sun some more. Tips and pointers in the right direction would help.
Omari P's most recent sun team (which he posted here) is actually really solid and doesn't rely on Dugtrio (Zeraora salvages the Rain matchup which isn't even where Dugtrio really shines to begin with, and the team is just plain unfriendly to most of Dugtrio's other targets, like Tyranitar). I'd actually go so far as to say that, while Dugtrio on sun is good, it's not even close to mandatory and you can often sub that slot for something else like Seismitoad or even Excadrill and still handle most of the things that Dugtrio handles for sun. Dugtrio just takes significantly less prediction and skill to use, to put it bluntly.
