Tru, and that post had me lolling for a minute.

shhhhhhh staff is listening. I've used Starmie for a WHILE, and I've just given up on it. It's just too frail to use as a dedicated spinner, and I'm pretty sure Doublade OHKO's with a 1 Swords Dance'd Shadow Sneak

I second this, frogboy literally never gets through more than one pokemon on my team. Unless its physical, namely power up punch. Then it kills EVERYTHING.

But I want to believe.

Pokemon.... Pokemon has changed. If nobody has mentioned this, or noticed this (as I haven't been on Showdown in a while) I think that physical Mega-Altaria will lead to a new abundance of Ferrothorn, Heatran, and Mega-Gross. Dancer Mega-Altaria with EQ, Pixelated Return, and roost/substitute...

Deo is now gone, Rapid Spin/Volt Switch/Tox. Spikes/Rocks Forretress is in. Mienshao is out for Hawlucha testing. Spudge will stay until he fucks me over something serious in a battle.

UPDATE: Substitute Ninjask set works AMAZINGLY, thanks! Deoxys-D HAS TO GO. The Noggler just doesn't fit in on this setup sweep team. It will be going in favor of either a ghost type to spin, or, failing that, a defogger or rapid spinner that can still hit hard, like latias.

1: No, because Focus Sash keeps it alive. 2: If you don't want to compromise your Donphan set, Mienshao can learn Stone Edge. It'll fit right in where knock off was if you're that worried about no item t-flame.

....and fake out/knock off is just preference, knock off will one hit talonflame and you are guaranteed to be able to hit it because of focus sash.

Just to add, ChestoRest/Harvest Combo is also evil. Also, I am now testing roughly the same set as the Mienshao I detailed above, but instead with a Sturdy, scrafed Sawk. It's a monstrosity lol.

Good point RaidRover , I was basically using lens as a filler but specsvern makes a lot more sense. NotBruceWayne, I'll go through what you said from top to bottom. Boomburst<STAB Air Slash, yeah. I really want to continue running my Mienshao set, because I think it is a unique strategy that...

I've moved on to the big world of Showdown OU, where my ass is handed to me on a regular basis. Welp, it keeps me humble at least.

I looked at this, thought WTF WHY IS HE RUNNING LIGHT METAL SCIZOR???!?!?!?one1??!one? Then I realized that Mega-Scizor is Technician.

A very good fighting set I have discovered (and I think fits well into your team) is this: Mineshao @ Focus Sash EV's: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 4 HP Nature: Naïve Ability: Regenerator Moves: Reversal, Poison Jab/Swords Dance, Stone Edge, Knock Off This set makes base 105 Speed Mienshao a very...
