To be fair, Landorus-T smashes most parafusion tactics. Of course it's always going to be slightly luck based but EQ, Stone Edge and U-Turn hits most swagafusion mons nice and hard. It's also easy to switch out to a cleric / wall if needs be when not getting lucky just to reset boosts, heal etc.

You might want to try Rocky Helmet Mandibuzz as well. Max physical bulk ensures you're taking well under 50% from a brave bird in most cases, and if the LO set hits you, Talonflame's gonna be taking 3 lots of recoil while you sit there, laugh and roost off the damage. Mandi manhandles most...

Kamikaze: Win a match only having used recoil moves. Knife Ban: Win a match without using any STAB attacks. We Are Family: Win 10 matches in a row. You must use a team comprised of Pokemon who are based on the same animal family e.g. Cats (Persian, Meowstic) or Dogs (Arcanine, Houndoom) etc...

Tried it, didn't like it. Zero longevity and hampered by choice. Not as easy to use at it looks on paper, or at least this is what I found.

Each to their own I guess, I always just used Superpower as an occasionally useful way to wipe a threat off my opponent' steam. Lando almost has 3MSS tbh hahaha. Yeah a fair point. Rocks never really bothered me unless I had ultra valuable pokes on my side who were very weak to them. Infernape...

I've tried both adamant band and jolly scarf but the latter usually came out on top for me, just because of it's revenge killing prowess. Both are extremely viable though.

I've found Superpower most useful on choice sets by far. Lando rarely needs more than stone edge, EQ and u-turn... Superpower takes care of Ferro and TTar (especially now that a scarfed EQ won't always get rid of its Mega) as well as ice types you'd rather not risk a stone edge on. It's worked...

Well nothing on your team is massively weak to rocks by the looks of things so you may be better off just going for a bone breaking hyper offence rather than allocate a defensive spot for a spinner. Give offence a try, maybe with a physically defensive Rotom-W and see how it does for you. If...

May take out a poke or two but Staraptor won't enjoy taking a Foul Play from physically defensive Mandibuzz. Other than that, I've come up against this tactic in the past and it hurts like hell. Just have to watch for those quick electric attacks slamming Raptor on the switch.

Imo the BP increase was too steep. It's close to a 100 BP move now with a held item on the opposing Poke. That's CRAZY. Especially as most fighting types boast high Attack stats and don't particularly need high BP coverage moves (take the punches and fangs for example). HJK and Dynamic Punch are...

If you're running U-turn Infernape, you may want to consider using Landorus-T for a double turn partnership. Lando-T switches into Excadrill no problem and if you're running scarf or band (which I would seriously recommend) you should pack Superpower, which can wipe out Excadrill no problem. You...

Yeah perhaps! Although Yawn could always take the place of Toxic on a Shellos set to force them out and get a free Scald on whatever comes in.

Maybe try a Foul Player. Aegislash and Scizor both get wrecked by it :)

One that's worked wonders for me so far... Mandibuzz @ Rocky Helmet Ability: Overcoat EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD Nature: Bold - Knock Off - Foul Play - Defog - Roost Conkeldurr @ Assault Vest Ability: Guts EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpD Nature: Adamant - Drain Punch - Mach Punch - Ice...

I understand that items like Eviolite, Berry Juice etc. are super important in LC, which is why lots of people are saying Knock Off is so good but, in my experience, Shellos is a big problem for most of the threats that like to spam it. A fully defensive one, in most cases, seemed to be able to...
