Mixed LO is pretty solid. It beats any core, but not every core all at once. It's just a matter of flexing in the moves to beat the things your team needs it to beat. I like running Sunsteel + Psychic as stabs, but dropping both for Psychic Fangs and more coverage is fine if you're ok with ID...

For Waterpon, it also helps that Solgaleo itself is a bit of a roadblock to its sweeping attempts. Even without bulk investment, Solgaleo avoids the 2HKO from Ivy Cudgel, so while it's not a particularly good answer because it can't threaten Waterpon back super well, in a pinch, it can take even...

:clodsire: -> B-/C I like to take a moment to join everybody else in asking for this mon to be dropped. It's generally outclassed as a SpDef blob by stuff like Gastrodon and Fezandipiti. Fez is much better for offense builds because it's much less passive, has options to threaten most of its...

I'll take the L there. It's entirely my fault, I mucked up the time zones.

That's exactly it. Latias has Draining Kiss and better bukl than Latios, making Stored Power setup sets a bit too good. Latios has more raw power and has felt borderline broken at times, but isn't anywhere near as effective with set up sets and is much more manageable because of it.

You should add +2 Thundy-T to the list. I don't know the exact spread they've typically been using, but Double Dance Thundy-T sets have been a pretty solid option for HO for a while now. edit: if Barraskewda's gonna stay on here, you should probably have +2 because being a rain sweeper is it's...

Gonna be entirely honest, the pivot-y sets that actually utilize First Impression are not that good outside of sun, which itself is also pretty mediocre. Slither Wing became an HO demon running a Bulk Up Flame Charge set. If you happen to have a mon that's decent in UU but can wall Slither Wing...

Pivot sets thud into common defensive mons like Skarmory, Heatran, Cobalion, and Fezandipiti while HO techs for it with stuff like Revaroom, Protect Greninja, Comfey, and BU Slither Wing. Additionally, SD sets are very boom or bust, requiring a lot to go right due to frailty, requiring Tera +...

252 SpA Regieleki Zap Cannon vs. 4 HP / 252+ SpD Blissey: 96-114 (14.7 - 17.4%) -- possible 6HKO +2 252 SpA Regieleki Volt Switch vs. 4 HP / 252+ SpD Blissey: 111-132 (17 - 20.2%) -- possible 5HKO (+2 because the damage calc doesn't have Charge) Just use charge, you get way more power that way.

Oh yeah, CM Hoopa-U is great. I actually built a team around CM Assault Vest Hoopa-U, and it's a menace. It's so fat specially you can pivot into basically every special attacker that isn't running a boosted super effective STAB move and win the 1v1, along with trivially breaking pretty much...

Stun Spore and Glare can't be played around with careful switching. Claiming a kill? Great, you just had a mon para'd. Revenge killing something? Great, they sacked their para mon to cripple your revenge killer, so you lose the next time the sweeper hits the field. Doubling out to absorb the...

I've been messing around in the meta some today, and I think I'm gonna dump some thoughts here. :sv/kommo-o: Kommo-o @ Throat Spray Ability: Clangorous Soul Tera Type: Normal EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Naive Nature - Boomburst - Drain Punch - Flamethrower - Clanging Scales...
