Last question, if using u-turn Corvi, should I run impish or relaxed (0 IV Spe maybe?) for slow pivot?

Either or is fine, though being slower than other corviknights are nice to be last in clicking U-Turn
How many status users do you need to use Choice Specs Hex Dragapult properly?
I personally shoot for about two. This being said, if you pick status spreaders that don’t directly synergize with Dragapult, then the status spreading is ultimately meaningless as part of the synergy comes from Dragapult giving them opportunities with U-turn to spread status or provide further pressure, or vice versa. In other words: be deliberate with the partners you choose to support Hex variants of Specs Dragapult.
Me and Ausma’s posts about Blissey apply to Chansey too the logic is identical. Smaller number = bigger % difference from the same raw stat increase. 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpD has the highest overall bulk and maximises benefits from Evio (multiplier scales better for bigger numbers) but max hp/def makes the biggest difference in practice bc u take squat from special hits anyway.

follow me, but it is not really relevant in singles
i know but i will use in double and thanks for answer my question!
Game lore says it eats children or something might have to do with that, that being said who the fuck is calling it a yandere
Bro I am not making this shit up. I have seen it a couple times in the VR thread and Metagame discussion thread now. (Rant-It's kind of like "Moistshifu" Where it slowly caught on when one person started using it. I personally absolutely hate the former and it is even very self explanatory though unnecessary and people just call it "Water-Ushifu" Or even just "Urshifu" As the other is not even in the tier. There is no need to try to be so edgy) Anyways I think the case is the same as Kyurem but nobody seems to know why is it is a yandere.
Specs is more consistent and doesn't rely on any setup, unlike Hex sets (which include Spell Tag). If you are asking about slapping spell tag instead of specs, you probably shouldn't do so as dragapult is too weak to afford a choice item bluff on its non-ghost type moves.
Great question. Gengar fan here!. Gengar's best set rn is probably sub plot. Ghost and Fighting coverage covers most of the tier. LO with 3 Attacks like finch said works but NP / Sub / Shadow Ball / Focus Blast with a sludge or spell tag is great for the most part in my experience. Also scarf is a nice speed magnet that outpseeds opposing scarf Kartana and has great utility like mentioned above. Not the biggest fan of specs however, but NP with LO attacks/sub, or scarf seem to be the best options.

I've been wondering, since smogon decided to create a format that messes with the game's mechanics such as nat dex, cap or hackmons, were there any discussion about doing something about the rng? LIke making a custom format similar to the mentioned three where all rng is deleted from the game (i.e. all moves have 100 accuracy or damage is constant instead of a roll) or anything similar? If yes, can someone link the threads that are about the rng
If anyone's curious why I'm asking, I can't be the only one who thinks that the fate of a battle shouldn't lie in the hands of stone or focus miss missing

This could be a pitch for an OM, but all of the formats that bend as you describe them are not official ones (including Nat Dex).
This is a thread dedicated to OU, so may be best to bring this up to OM moderators or in that forum!
On Trick Room, yes. Otherwise, fringe due to other Fighters like Urshifu and Buzzwole being strong.
Thanks Fichinator
fwiw i think there used to be an old om called skillmons that was removed bc of popularity concerns. it’s a pretty interesting concept tho which is why i thought it’d be cool to post here
