counter and. also Astoria for winning this week's
check with Choice Scarf Tapu Lele! I'll add your sets to the Hall of Fame.
Week 7: Calm Mind Mega Latias
Latias-Mega (F) @ Latiasite
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Stored Power
- Ice Beam
- Roost
Mega Latias is an excellent cleaner and sweeper with the combination of Calm Mind, STAB Stored Power, an excellent Base 110 Speed tier, and quite ludicrous 80/120/150 bulk. In addition, a vast movepool means its set can be highly customisable depending on what its team requires; though Ice Beam is typically run to allow Latias to answer Swords Dance Gliscor and the myriad of Ground-types running around OU. Access to reliable recovery in the form of Roost also means Latias can keep itself healthy over the course of a game.
Can you find a way to handle this set? You will have 6 days to submit your answers, with
submissions ending on Saturday 10th January.
I would also like to inform you all of a
small change to the rules:
- You may now submit
both a check and a counter, if you so please. The option, obviously, remains available for you to submit one set if you want, but from this week onwards you can submit one set for each category if you so wish.
However, they must be different Pokemon, meaning you couldn't, for example, submit two different Landorus-T sets in the same week (one as a check and one as a counter).
Best of luck!
