Sounds great! I'll play some games like that, I'm already running moltres so maybe I'll hold off on thunderbolt coverage for rn, but I'll be sure to try it out. Thank you again to all those who responded!

Those sound great! Though I would like something more bulky than meow yet not as slow as garg and gking to threaten non stall. Would mixed dragapault be a good idea since it resists what dozo (normally) can do and take advantage of rest with hex and threatens other mons?

Thanks for the response! I would love to use Ogerpon on other teams soon, but getting rid of Leftovers is definitely a priority. I would love to use unaware clefable on it but it's hard to actually threaten out dozo since moonblast and thunderbolt is like a 3-4 hit ko or something so it can just...

Sorry if this is not the right place to discuss this. I'm still a bit new to posting on here, but I was wondering if there are common answers to a standard dondozo? I notice I have no real strategy to stall teams featuring one.

Not sure how to really call for action. I think iron crown is pretty tame. Do you believe Iron Crown is a big problem in the metagame?

I really like thundurus but I really want to like it more. While it does hit super hard on stab attacks, it's shallow move pool let's your opponent have an easier time predicting what it wants to do. It's true terra blast will hit ground types and hits hard in general, but there are some decent...

Would terra electric be nice for extra power on thunder punch while also getting out of their weaknesses?

Probably due to its massive versatility, you can run so many sets on that boi

From bulbapedia: "First Impression inflicts damage. It has a priority of +2, and is used before moves of lower priority." "Triage increases the priority of moves that restore HP used by the Pokémon with this Ability by 3, including both damaging moves and status moves."

Actually there's a little more depth to Arcanine-H with heavy duty boots. It just outspeeds almost all the steel types in the tier, even excadrill, naturally so it's pretty easy to bluff a choice flare blitz into a resist before slamming the switch in with head smash, which i believe nothing can...

Iron Crown? Maybe I haven't seen a lot in play, but I haven't seen anyone run a decent agility + calm mind sweep with it in a while since it's typing and abilities are nowhere near as good as Latias and Moltres-G. I suppose it's a match up fish, but it feels something more like calm mind...

Yeah, I don't know why I was gassing up zapdos like heat wave could ohko it, I just distinctly remember getting walled by it amd it easily pivoting into something way more threatening.

As a big metagross believer, I gotta admit it's weaknesses are surprisingly more common than you think. Greninja, Lokix, Zapdos, Arcanine, etc easily threaten massive damage, if not ohko without massive investment. Meanwhile Metagross fails to really threaten them back in return with it's...

I'm also a fan of just choice specs lati for just raw damage. It's not fancy but it works well. And it has flip turn if you think a bad match up is coming up

Off the top of my head, I think a healthy hydrapple can come in safely against anything barraskewda does and threatens to do big damage or heal with giga drain as long as its not running the otherwise weak ice fang, Toxapex and Chestnaugt can work too if it doesn't run psychic fangs. For a...
