Has anyone made a thread similiar to this http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/attack-pair-analysis.3490312/ for gen7? Thanks.

Fireburn

Zekrom Terrain Offense This is sort of similar to Fireburn's scarf offense squad but differs in that it also aims to get electric terrain under zekrom for a sweep. Terrain lets zekrom get loads more power which lets you sweep earlier, something I found useful for a team with almost no...

Yes, this Mewtwo requires hazard support. But what is gonna nullify psychic terrain in ubers? Tapu koko is the only other real tapu in Ubers and is all the way down in B, and really doesn't see a whole lot of usage. EV'ing mewtwo to live a +2 moonblast requires a 252hp/252+spd, literally the...

Xern LOL (Solgaleo) @ Leftovers Ability: Full Metal Body EVs: 252 Atk / 56 SpD / 200 Spe Jolly Nature - Sunsteel Strike - Substitute/Crunch - Earthquake - Stone Edge This is a Solgaleo set I've been working on lately. It's built to outspeed max+ 90s like Groudon by as little as...

What Zygarde set does all of this? I rarely see zygarde past 1600 and when I do, its performance is pretty questionable. Zygarde-50 doesn't check half the shit on your list, either, takes 100 from +2 pdon, 100 from +1 msala, 80 from +2 ekiller, 70 from band ho-oh, 60 from strong bird yveltal...

So I've played a lot of this tier in the last couple weeks and I'd like to share my thoughts on the rankings. Tapu Lele B ---> B+ Psychic Terrain offense is actually incredible right now, shutting down stall with gigantic attacks from +2 Deo-A, and stopping offense with a combination of focus...

Machoke is good, but I think you're overestimating the utility of dynamic punch. No Guard Dynamic Punch vs Probopass: 252+ Atk Machoke Dynamic Punch vs. 172 HP / 0 Def Probopass: 436-516 (143.4 - 169.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO Healthy Machoke Close Combat vs Probopass: 252+ Atk Machoke Close Combat...

Tbf I'm really just using leafeon as comparison to sheglon. And yeah, leafeon has slightly worse defensive typing (trades fairy weak for bug/poison/fire, of which only fire is really relevant). It also trades fire resist for a ground resist, which is whatever. But, you're right, dragon > grass...

Yeah, but leafeon has roar, 110 attack, better speed, and a stronger stab move. :/ Plus, if the set you're recommending is Shelgon @ Eviolite Ability: Overcoat EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Def Impish Nature - Wish - Protect - Dragon Claw - Roar then you can't do anything at all against cb stout...

Lol. Literally just nommed this. Same example set and everything. Shelgon's problem is that, while its physical bulk is cool, it just sits there. If it toxic's on cb stout, it gets 3hkod. Barbaracle just sets up more shell smashes. IMO wishing and being a physical blob don't justify enough of...

Ok, so seeing as my last post went over pretty well, I'd like to make another nom. From unlisted to D or C- Hazard removal in this tier sucks, if we're honest with ourselves. Because of this, hazard stack is awesome, but defogging away your own hazards sucks. Staryu's competitors in this tier...

Octillery @ Choice Specs Ability: Sniper EVs: 200 HP / 252 SpA / 56 Spe Modest Nature - Hydro Pump - Ice Beam - Energy Ball - Fire Blast

So trc said something about this like two weeks ago, and it got no response, so I thought I'd bring it up. Mr. Mime from B+ to A- Mr. Mime is actually a really awesome mon. First, it has two viable items in scarf and lo, giving it some measure of unpredictability. Then, it has really good...
