Amoonguss--> A- to A Amoonguss has just been probably the most consistent physical wall for me. I think it gained quite a bit from the cinderace ban, as cinderace was obviously something it was highly threatened by. In addition, w/ the magearna + cinderace ban making Rillaboom one of the...

yeah I know but you have to risk getting scald burned, which it can easily do due since it can just regen off damage. Basically Pex will scald and live the first super effective hit from Urshifu and if theres no burn it'll just regen off the damage and then get another shot at burning later. And...

*this team was inspired by a team I saw on Blunder's channel. He just quickly glanced it and never went over the spreads in the detail, and I made some minor adjustments.* Torkoal @ Heat Rock Ability: Drought EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def Bold Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Lava Plume - Stealth Rock -...

I brought this up on your Youtube Channel. Do you think there's any way the council will make an exception and give Pex a complex ban? I think if Pex just couldn't use Haze it would do wonders since w/o Haze it would now have the same weakness that other passive sponges like it have, being a...

Defensive Pivot Arcanine @ Heavy-Duty Boots Ability: Intimidate EVs: 248 HP / 128 Def / 116 SpD / 16 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Flamethrower - Teleport - Morning Sun - Toxic This is a little set that I built that's similar to the standard defensive UU set, only w/ significant sp.def...

yess it's access to stab sucker punch is very underrated, I don't see people often talk about it as much. One of the soft "checks" to Urshifu is it's speed, being outsped by a myriad of 100+ base speed mons. But I guess game freak just said "F it" and decided to just give it a strong stab...

totally agree w/ this, I've also done a lot of calcs recently to try and find a reliable counter for Urshifu, and there really isn't one. Any "counter" relies upon getting a 50/50 right or lucking out on move coverage. For example, say you're running Anger Point Krook hoping to bait the wicked...

I don't think this is really a nutty set, just not something you'd see too often in OU, that really speaks to the power of Magearna Arcanine @ Heavy-Duty Boots Ability: Intimidate EVs: 248 HP / 124 Sp.Def / 120 Def/ 16 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Flamethrower - Morning Sun -...

Ninetales-Alola @ Light Clay Ability: Snow Warning EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Hail - Freeze-Dry - Aurora Veil - Hypnosis As standard as it gets here. Job is very self-explanatory, just set screens whenever you need. I like freeze dry on this team...

I just don't think it's ever worth running scarf. I guess it's a cool gimmick to surprise somebody but tbh Volc's stab coverage in OU isn't the greatest and while 369 special attack w/ timid nature is normally great for a scarfer, I think it really misses out on that power it normally gets by...

hey guys I'm wondering if you think it's generally okay to use a mon w/ knock off paired w/ another mon w/ Poltergeist (mainly Marowak). For example, say if I'm running bisharp and Marowak, is it better to go w/ throat chop over knock off for bisharp so that Marowak's Poltergeist doesn't have to...

True, I've actually been using Starmie w/ Meteor beam to go along with them for this very reason (along w/ other reasons, like a nice surprise nuke for an unsuspecting sun setter). If Starmie is still carrying power herb against Toxapex, meteor beam into psychic will always 2HKO, while it takes...

Weather Setter + Physically defensive Pelipper @ Damp Rock Ability: Drizzle EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpDef Bold Nature - Hurricane - Scald - U-turn - Roost Pelipper's role is pretty obvious/self-explanatory... Tries to set up rain as much as possible. Click Scald when you think it's free...

You guys think rain is overrated rn or no? Pelliper + modest specs Kingdra + banded Urshifu rapid strike core has been doing serious damage for me. I like to throw meteor beam starmie in there to do as much dmg possible for a late game Urshifu aqua jet sweep yeah its one of those predictable...
